Very complicated challenge for Valencia Basket on the UCAM Murcia court

09/12/2023

Valencia Basket men’s team closes its third stretch of five games in ten days with a very complicated test of the energy it may have left in a week of three games visiting a team that this season has not lost at home, UCAM Murcia ( Sunday 10, 5:00 p.m., Municipal Sports Pavilion, Movistar Deportes 3) in a Endesa League round 13 game.

 

The taronja team arrives in Murcia with the reinforcement of its two victories in the Euroleague but with the accumulated wear and tear that, in addition to fatigue, has reduced the taronja expedition by thirteen players: Jared Harper returned to Valencia in the early hours of Friday to Saturday, he will be evaluated to know the extent of his injury to the back of his right thigh and he is out for this game.

 

Despite all these handicaps against a rival that has been preparing for this game all week, Valencia Basket will seek to repeat the defensive feelings of its second half in Lyon to try to be the first to knock down the university team on its court in a direct duel to stay in the positions that allow access to the Copa del Rey draw as seeded.

 

The precedents predict an even match and are favorable to the Taronja team both in general (16 of 23) and in the recent streak (5-2), although last season the victory remained in Murcia.

 

Valencia Basket begins this thirteenth day in fifth position with a balance of 8-4.
