Murcia Team News
The Murcia team was rather tired in Malaga and they showed the least of all the teams in the quarter-finals, and they have a very difficult task ahead of them, but we are sure that they will try to make the best possible impression, especially in front of their fans. Murcia plays much better at home than away. Defensively, Unicaja broke Murcia, who had just found a rhythm in 4/4, but they were already in a deficit with a difference of almost 30 points.
Murcia is a very experienced team led by Thad McFadden, who has been one of the best defenders outside the Euroleague for years. This season, they strengthened their back line with James Anderson, who arrived from Efes and is one of the best shooters in the Euroleague for years. However, the main link between defense and attack is the Montenegrin national team member Nemanja Radovic who, along with David Jelinek, can play quality defense and take over from 1 to 4. However, Murcia’s biggest problem is their away game. A few days ago, Murcia added an experienced NBA name to its team, which will bring additional energy to the attack, and it is Chris Chiozza.
In the last round of the Spanish Endesa, Murcia was defeated by Obradoiro and they are in pretty bad shape, but in this game, they have to play everything or nothing.
Unicaja Malaga Team News
In the first match, Unicaja showed all its strength and stood out as the first candidate to win the FIBA Champions League. They showed serious dominance in the first match, they showed all their quality defensively and limited Murcia to only 27 points in the first half.
Ibon Navaro arranged the team very well and created a compact whole where team basketball is played in both directions. Unicaja is the third offense of the league, while they score the most points at the rim in the entire BCL league. The problem for Murcia will be that Unicaja is also the fourth defensive team in the league, which plays aggressively against the opposing defenders, and above all that pressure is exerted by Perry and Diaz. Perry contributes a lot to the attacking rhythm and forces the game into transition.
However, the main player of the team is Dario Brizuela, a local guy who signed a new multi-year contract with Unicaja, with the possibility of going to the Euroleague. The team is only as strong as its weakest link, and it is difficult to find flaws and mismatch situations in the Unicaja team.
They have only two defeats in the BCL this season, and they are very powerful and efficient at home. We should certainly mention the American Tyson Carter, who is one of the best clutch-time players in the entire league. A big boost for Unicaja is the return to the field of Nihad Djedovic, who contributes a lot to Unicaja’s game with his experience.
