First chance to get the ticket for the Top16 vs. Turk Telekom Ankara

13/11/2018

Valencia Basket will try to maintain the strength that the taronja squad has shown at home in the 7DAYS EuroCup in the round 7 game vs. Turk Telekom Ankara (Wednesday 14, 8:45 pm, Fonteta, Teledeporte) in a match in which a orange win joined by other results could certify mathematically the ticket for the Top 16. Against a rival who did not step on the Fonteta since 2002 and who is the only team of this nationality that has never lost in Valencia in European competition. To end that circumstance, Valencia Basket has its good precedents against Turkish rivals at home (10-2). Although the three already known sidelined players (Rafa Martínez, Diot and Joan Sastre), point guard Guillem Vives is questionable due to low back pain.

 

The Taronja squad already won in the first leg played in the Turkish capital by a score of 67-72 with a great game by Sam Van Rossom (12 assists). In this match, the Montenegrin center Bojan Dubljevic can become the historical leader of field goals converted in the 7DAYS EuroCup if he scores four baskets against the Turks. Valencia Basket currently occupies the second position of group C, with a balance of 4-2.
