On November 8, the Champions League crossed its equator with a match between Italian Dynamo Sassari and German Riesen Ludwigsburg. Three more matches took place on November 9, and one of them - with the participation of Spanish "Manresa" and Turkish "Pinar Karsiyaki" is worth a look of all members of our group "A": fate may bring them together very soon on the stage of play-in. This confrontation ended in favor of the Spanish "Manresa" (88:69).
In our quartet after the misfire of "Ludwigsburg" there is not a single club that would not know the bitterness of defeats in the League. At the same time, none of them lost their chances to make it to the next stage of the tournament. German Ludwigsburg has the best chances, but all this can be changed late tomorrow night. It would not be desirable, however, that this would happen at the expense of "Prometey": in this case, the "red and whites" and the club from Sardinia will be behind the main competitors by two victories as after the second round and this distance can be played back only partially.
However, if Ronen Ginzburg's team succeeds, it will most likely move its future opponent from second place and then, a little bit later, only very difficult positioning after one out of two victories will not guarantee her a place in the playoffs, which is undoubtedly a great result for anyone. -which Ukrainian club. One hundred percent result will be a one hundred percent guarantee.
After the failure with "Ludwigsburg", "Tenerife" twice won the Spanish championship (84:81 over "Obradoiro" and 79:70 "Andorra") and is in a good mood so far, coming out in his Super League in a position behind the long-term giants "Barcelona" and "Real". However, Prometey's rival shares this result with Gran Canaria and Murcia.
Our team is facing a huge challenge, but we are ready for it, says on the eve of the match, the head coach of "Prometey" Ronen Ginzburg. The coach of the "red and whites" adds: "We remember our last meeting with" Lenovo-Tenerife "and made some conclusions. We are preparing for the match. It will be an interesting confrontation. We expect to give a decent rebuff and show a good game. I really believe in it! "
Unfortunately, Prometey is incomplete for the match with Lenovo-Tenerife. DJ Stephens will not be able to help the team due to his injury. "It's a very big loss for us. And not only because of his accurate hits, DJ helped well in defense," says Ronen Ginzburg. However, convinced that the victory in the last match of the group round of the Champions League over the Italian "Dynamo Sassari" should be an additional motivating factor for "Prometey". So our "Prometey" is able to face teams with more European Cup experience. The coach reminded his players about this on the eve of the match.
The course of the game "Lenovo Tenerife" - "Prometey" can be watched starting from 21:30 on our club website, on the TV channel "XSPORT" and on the YouTube channel FIBA.
