coach Emanuele Molin’s team will try to make a last effort to grab eighth place The journey in the Eurocup starts again and after six defeats in a row,
the team coached by coach Emanuele Molin (record 2-12) will try to make a last effort to grab that not-so-distant eighth place. In front, however, tomorrow evening he will find the leaders Gran Canaria (11-3) with a poisoned tooth and defeat in Trento before putting on a positive streak of eight games, interrupted by Hapoel Tel Aviv in the last round. Coach Jaka Lakovic has accustomed spectators to long rotations involving all twelve players, allowing his players an average of about 15-18 minutes. Leading the team is the proven duo of Aleksander Balcerowski and Andrew Albicy, a well-matched pair able to hurt with his pick and roll but which does not allow easy readings to the opponents in other game situations. AJ Slaughter is the Frenchman’s perfect sidekick, as he takes on all the offensive responsibilities, especially from behind the arc; John Shurna fills the role of an outfielder who can make baskets from all areas of the field and help manage possessions. Miquel Salvo has the task of presiding over the area by fighting on the rebound, constantly defending his opponents, and looking for easy support points. Coming off the bench, the possibility of deploying two playmakers/guards with different characteristics such as Ferran Bassas and Jovan Kljajic allows the team to opt for multiple offensive solutions without losing substance in the coverage phase; in addition, the presence of Vitor Benite guarantees extra points from 6.75 meters and on the break. Khalifa Diop’s talent and physicality under the boards give Gran Canaria’s home defense considerable weight, while Damien Inglis can handle the perimeter and have more range in attack. Nicolas Brussino is the wild card of the Spaniards being able to occupy more areas of the field and providing alternatives both starting in the quintet and leading the second unit. To complete the rotations space also for the 2002 class David Mutaf and Ruben Lopez. In the last round of Liga ACB, Gran Canaria beat Bilbao 94-71 consolidating their seventh place in the standings (13-8 record). while Damien Inglis can take care of the perimeter and range more in the attack.
