Rio Breogan Team News
Rio Breogan is an exciting team, especially for basketball fans from the Balkans. Many call them Mega for the Spanish market. The team of Rio Breogan features a large number of players from the Balkans, as well as players who played in the ABA league. Most of them are all players of the Beobasket agency led by popular agent Misko Ražnatovic.
The Breogan team includes former FMP players, Nenadic and Momirov, as well as Toni Nakic from Cibona, and one of the best scorers in the ABA league, Marko Lukovic. In addition to that Balkan block, Rio has very experienced domestic players, the experienced Arteaga and the Quintela brothers. But they still work mostly on the drive of the Americans Bamforth and Happ, who also have Euroleague experience.
They are in 10th place of the Spanish Endesa, with a score of 6-6, and are much better away from home than at home. They only play in the Spanish championship, which leaves them plenty of room for training and analysis of their opponents. Last season, they also had Dzanan Musa on their team, who was MVP of the Spanish Championship.
In the last match, they beat Betis away, and the team was led by Momirov with 19 points, while Happ added 14 points.
Baskonia Team News
The team led by Joan Penarroya is playing great basketball this season. For years, Baskonia has been known as a team with excellent scouting and the ability to find players under the radar. However, the biggest revelation this season is certainly Marcus Howard, who arrived from the NBA, and primarily because of his size, he could not make a difference in the strongest league in the world. But for European basketball, it’s an accelerated version of Shane Larkin. Baskonia plays exactly on his drive, and they share the first place in the Euroleague, while they are second in Endesa with two defeats.
In addition to Howard, the experienced Henry has also joined the team and will greatly contribute to the creation of Baskonia’s game. In the Baskonia team, all players except the center Kotsar shoot for three points and at high percentages. Penarroya forces run-and-gun basketball, which matches the rhythm of Howard, so it is not surprising that he plays well. The Serbian national team player Vanja Marinkovic also played excellent games in the last few days, in addition to an excellent spot-up shot, added to his segment of the game that he attacks closeouts much more often.
In a streak of nine victories in all competitions, in the last round of the Euroleague, they defeated Virtus with a difference of 11 points, while in Endesa, they defeated Fuenlabrada by scoring 102 points.
