Alba Berlin Team News
Alba plays excellently in the Bundesliga and almost without mistakes, and they have only one defeat, unlike the Euroleague where they had a series of 13 consecutive defeats. But lately, Alba’s players have scored a couple of very important victories and hinted at a better form in both competitions. At the beginning of the season, they had big problems with injuries, but lately, almost all the players have returned and found a rhythm.
The team from Berlin was defeated by Maccabi in Tel Aviv in the last round, but they put up quite solid resistance against one of the best home teams in Europe. In the last round of the Bundesliga, they had a very difficult test, where they beat Wurzburg on Monday in a very uncertain ending. Olinde led Alba to victory with 23 points and 8 rebounds. Gonzalez tried to rest some key players, but Wurzburg proved to be a tough opponent.
Alba plays fast basketball, with a lot of play in transitions, with a lot of three-point shots. The entire squad of the Berlin team is conceptualized and consists of players who have three-point range, and all but Koumadje are threats from distance. The main engine of the team is Luke Sikma who, in addition to protecting the racket, plays with his back, shoots for three, and can create from the PF position. A very interesting matchup awaits us between Sikma and Dubljevic.
Valencia Team News
Valencia this season is an unpredictable team and they play hot and cold. As a rule, they lost the matches in which they were the favorites, while they won the matches in which they were the underdogs. Thus, against Crvena zvezda, which has serious staffing problems, they were defeated at home, while a couple of days ago they beat Efes with a very weakened squad. They continued their streak of good results against Partizan. In that match, the team from Spain did not give even the slightest chance to the Partizan to win. First of all, they played great defensively, where they got Lessort into trouble with personal fouls, and it was much easier for them later on.
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.
