Asvel Team News
Asvel are in a big crisis. In the last four rounds, they lost four games in the Euroleague. Even bigger problem is that they were beaten by similar quality teams. Better than reigning champion of France were Zalgiris, Red Star, Bayern and Panathinaikos.
Due to poor results, head coach T.J. Parker was under fire in French media. His brother and club owner Tony defended him. Former the San Antonio Spurs superstar pointed out that there is no room for panic. Fatigue was characterized as main reason for defeat against Panathinaikos, so it remains to be seen how the team will react to these words of Asvel key man. Nando De Colo missed some games due to injury, but now almost all players are available.
Asvel defeated Monaco in the French League finals last season. There is definitely no better way to get out of a crisis than by winning against a big rival. For that to really happen, it will be necessary for them to play the best game of the season so far.
Monaco Team News
On Friday night, Monaco defeated Bayern 80:79 and now they are in fifth place with 7-3. They put together an outstanding roster over the summer so they are one of the main contenders for the Euroleague title. Players themselves, as well as head coach Sasa Obradovic did not hide this.
Mike James, Jordan Loyd and Elie Okobo are perhaps the best backcourt line in the entire Euroleague. When two of them are in good shooting mood, Monaco offense is unstoppable. There is also John Brown, who was one of the best defensive players in Europe last season. Also, big quality of this team is two different types of centers. Donta Hall is an outstanding rim protector, while Donatas Motiejunas can threaten the opponent in a variety of ways.
Monaco will be highly motivated in this game. Their desire is to take revenge on Asvel for the defeat in the domestic league finals last season. They have good momentum and if they play at their current level, there is no reason not to achieve another triumph in the Euroleague.
