Valencia Basket has been represented in the Endesa Super Cup Draw by its general director Enric Carbonellwho has valued the crossing with Unicaja in the first semifinal remembering the show that has been seen in recent precedents between them.
“In recent precedents, The Unicaja-Valencia Basket have always been great games And I understand the morbidity that can give that two former unicaja players return to Malaga and Martín Carpena to face Unicaja. “
Carbonell also recalled that They face the current competition championwith the added difficulty of being also the host of this edition, which is celebrated on September 27 and 28 at Martín Carpena.
“Any of the teams that could touch us, both Real Madrid and Unicaja, are great teams. The host, the current champion of the Super Cup and the Copa del Rey, has touched us, so We have a great challenge ahead“.
One previous one
The confrontation of the end of the month will be the second between both teams in this tournament after the 'Taronja' team won in the first.
It was in the 2017 edition, held in Las Palmas, and Valencia Basket won the Andalusian team for 83-78 to access the final and, after also defeating Gran Canaria, getting with which until now is its only Super Cup title.
In that crash, the team led by Txus Vidorreta, which premiered in the club in that match, was led by Erick Green, who with a rarened first quarter gave him the helm of the match, and by Bojan Dubljevic, who held the first Malaga reaction. However, in a tight end, It was a triple by Aaron Dornekamp who uneven the balance of the 'Taronja' side.
From that template no player is no longer in Valencia And in Unicaja Alberto Díaz, who this summer has lost the Eurobasket due to a muscle injury, is the only survivor.
