Duel of champions with the visit to the Iberostar Tenerife’s court

07/10/2017

The two teams of the Endesa League that have already won a Championship in the 2017-18 season will face in the game that closes the week 3. Valencia Basket visits the court of Iberostar Tenerife (Sunday 8, 18: 30h, Santiago Martin, # 0) in a meeting full of emotion and interesting duels. The champion of the Endesa Super Cup faces the champion of the Intercontinental Cup, two teams that are unbeaten in the official matches they have played so far. Coach Txus Vidorreta and power forward Aaron Doornekamp return to their last season former team in a duel in which up to five of the protagonists have defended the colors of the two teams at different points in their career.

 

Two champions teams during the last season that have bet on the continuity (in the two teams follow eight players of the 2016-17 rosters). The two best defenses of the Endesa League last season that already begin to show their credentials in this aspect (71.5 points conceded by the Canaries for 73.5 received by the Valencians). All the incentives for a match in which Valencia Basket returns to have Fernando San Emeterio and in which Alberto Abalde could debut in an official match with the taronja squad, both recovered from their injuries. Tibor Pleiss plans to play in spite of the discomfort that drags in the right ankle. Point guard Antoine Diot and the American center Latavious Williams still injured.
