ASVEL Team News

Unlike most Euroleague players, Asvel enters this season without big reinforcements and famous names. This season, they decided to reduce the budget and use a slightly more experienced team than last year. The biggest reinforcement is the stay of Nando De Colo, who is the absolute leader of the team. Also, this season will be stronger for Joffrey Lauvergne, who missed the entire last season due to a serious injury. Former NBA player Mike Scott has also arrived in Asvel and will bring the necessary security around the basket. Nando De Colo will have help in the form of Paris Lee, who played for Panathinaikos last season, and Timothe Luwawu-Cabarott, who is expected to be the leader and main offensive option in the attack for the Asvela team.

In all three rounds, Asvel played excellently and dominantly in both directions. Le Mans was conquered first, followed by Gravelines and Le Portel away from home. In all matches, Asvel scored a large number of points, while they looked very good in defense and no team scored 80 points. Asvel will be a physically and athletically powerful team again this year. Defensively, they can cover everything, but they will lack width and quality for something more in the Euroleague. We believe that in the French championship, they do not have a worthy opponent in addition to Monaco, which is why this duel with Monaco is of great importance, above all from the aspect of self-confidence. Asvel will try to take advantage of Monaco’s lack of play, but also the problems with injuries of some important players.

Monaco Team News

Monaco achieved a huge success last season, the biggest in the chistory of the club, placing in the F4 Euroleague and winning the French championship for the first time. Sasa Obradovic received the full trust of the management, and they added several top players to the already outstanding and high-quality squad. Among them, the name of former NBA All-Star Kemba Walker, who will play for Monaco in the Euroleague this season, stands out. In addition to Kemba, Mam Jaiteh and Petr Cornelie arrived in the “principality”, who will bring additional strength to the Monaco basket. The team left Chima Moneke, who moved to Baskonia. Monaco will also depend a lot on the trio of Mike James, Okobo, and Jordan Loyd this season. The big problem for Monaco at the beginning of this season is certainly the injury of Jordan Loyd, who is always ready to jump out and make a difference when James falls into his bad rhythm.

Monaco, like Asvel, achieved three victories at the start of the championship. First, they defeated Limoges, who were limited to 59 points, and then Chalon, who scored 68. However, they had big problems against newcomers in the league, Saint-Quentin, who they beat with a shot in the last second of the match. Of course, Mike James took the ball and hit a “clutch” shot to win over the entire defense. With only a minute to go, Saint-Quentin had a four-point advantage, and at the start of the 4/4 they had +10 on their account, but even that was not enough.

James scored 19 points just like Okobo. Monaco struggles a lot offensively, while defensively they look very powerful and coordinated. This uncertain match and the very difficult victory against Saint-Quentin is a great warning for the players of Monaco, that they must play every match with maximum focus or they will be punished dearly.
