Unicaja Malaga Team News
The team from Malaga is one of the main favorites to win the FIBA Champions League. The coach of the team, Ibon Navarro, made a great team, and what is most important, he assigned roles to everyone. Unicaja has two guys who won the Eurobasket with the Spanish national team. It is about Alberto Diaz and Dario Brizuela who bring a special fighting spirit to the Unicaja team and motivate the players who come from the sidelines. In addition to local guys, Unicaja has many experienced and well-known names in its composition, such as Nihad Djedovic, Will Thomas, and Kendrick Perry…
Unicaja is doing well in the FIBA Champions League, as well as in the ACB League. In the ACB league, they are in a great fifth place with a record of 12-5 and they are playing very well. Ibon Navarro forces fast and attacking basketball, which is best implemented in the game by Perry and Carter, who can attack the basket early in the attack with their penetrations.
The great strength of Unicaja is that all players score points, and the most effective player on the team is Tyson Carter with 11.2 points on average, while everyone else averages around 9 points. In the last match, the unpleasant AEK won with a 22-point difference.
Valencia Team News
Valencia is playing much better in the Euroleague than in the Endesa League, where they are 9-8 and in eighth place. But Valencia has picked up form recently despite all the injuries and problems they have, and they are on a streak of six consecutive victories, and in the last match, they defeated Alba in Berlin.
This season, as in previous years, Dubljevic is the leader of this team. Dubljevic entered the season more slowly, but when he found the right rhythm, he began to terrorize opposing defenses. A center who can and knows how to play with his back, but also to spread out and shoot for three. The big reinforcement of Valencia this season is Chris Jones, who played for ASVEL last season and was one of the key players. The big problem for Valencia is the injuries, especially the injuries of Harper and River. Harper is back, but still looking for the right rhythm. All these injuries united the Valencia team a lot, and players from the bench and the second plan started to contribute to Valencia’s game. Recently, the Spanish representative Xavi Lopez-Arostegui, who is the team’s best scorer in the last few games, has been playing brilliantly. In addition to Lopez-Arostegui, young Puerto and Pradila are also playing well.
In response to injuries and a shortened rotation, Valencia’s management acted and added one of the best players in the ACB league, American guard Shannon Evans, who played well with Betis, where he had many games with over 25+ points per game.
In the last round of the Euroleague, in Berlin, Valencia showed great character again, where without Dubljevic they managed to beat home team Alba. Harper and Jones led the scorers with 20 and 16 points, while Alexander played an excellent role under the basket. Especially defensively.
