Barcelona Team News
Barcelona, led by Sarunas Jasikevicius, showed great form ahead of the Copa de la Rey and is entering the fight for the first trophy this season in very good shape. During the season, they struggled a lot with injuries. The team’s main player, Nikola Mirotic, was injured in the opening part of the season, but lately, he has been providing support at the MVP level. Corey Higgins, who is one of the best attackers in “clutch time”, also came out of injury. However, a very important role in the Barcelona team is played by Nikola Kalinic, who is above all the defensive engine of the team, who can bring advantage in trophy matches with his basketball IQ, strength, and energy.
The team from Catalonia is on a streak of six victories, while their last defeat was against Real Madrid, and they had everything in their hands. Barca has been playing very dominantly lately and is easily beating its opponents. At the weekend, they beat Rio Breogan by almost 30 points. In the last match against Unicaja, they were very effective and won very easily, limiting Unicaja to 60 points.
Unicaja Team News
The team from Malaga is one of the main favorites to win the FIBA Champions League. The coach of the team, Ibon Navaro, 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’s 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 the local guys, Unicaja has many experienced and well-known names in its lineup, 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 13-6 and they are playing very well. Ibon Navaro 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 all the others average around 9 points. In the last two games, they were defeated by Gran Canaria and Baskonia. The big difference in their game is when they play at home, where they have an almost perfect score.
