BAXI Manresa visits Zaragoza to begin the Christmas sprint

BAXI Manresa faces a marathon of games starting in Aragon. This Saturday, the team takes on Casademont Zaragoza, currently tied with them in the standings with four wins. Manresa will be without Dani Pérez, Hugo Benítez, and Max Gaspà due for injury.

A new opportunity to compete and earn points awaits them on the road against Casademont Zaragoza. BAXI Manresa plays this Saturday at 7:00 PM in their match corresponding to the 12th round of the Liga Endesa. Key players Dani Pérez, Hugo Benítez, and Max Gaspà are still recovering and will not be available. Diego Ocampo has taken the rest of the squad to the Aragonese capital.

The team that Manresa will face currently has the same number of wins and boasts a roster full of talent, from the point guard position to the paint. The team coached by Jesús Ramírez, which has won its last two games, has Santi Yusta as its standout player (19.2 points and 4.4 rebounds per game), but there are other quality players with scoring ability, such as Devin Robinson, formerly of BAXI Manresa. Their latest addition is the 7'4" center Christ Koumadje.

Diego Ocampo answered questions from the press before the game and said, «We need to keep improving and have more consistency on both offense and defense. They have two very good point guards who excel at playmaking, scoring, and creating opportunities. Their new signing, Koumadje, has brought new things to both offense and defense, given that Dubljevic also creates advantages for his teammates. They are a very organized and tactical team that is competing very well.»
