The center of “Prometey”, Ondrej Balvin, who plays his 6th season in the EuroCup, was the second player of the tournament in terms of productiveness in the last three tours before the new year.
Starting from the first round, only one basketball player has scored more points than Balvin, who had of 57 points in total (on average of 19.0 per game). With extraordinary accuracy! Ondrej hit incredible 20 out of 21 of two-pointers and 2 out of 2 of three-pointers, including streaks of 15 of two-pointers in a row and 17 hits from the game in a row since the end of the first quarter of the 7 tour’s game against “Bourg” until the start of the second quarter tour 9’s game against "Venice".
This is, undeniably, the best stretch of his European Cup career of 64 games.
