Bologna –<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Second last of the regular season, at the Segafredo Arena arrives a Gran Canaria team that is doing well, because it leads group B with a 12-4 record and because with another victory, or a defeat of Valencia, it will be able to seal the first place.<\/p>\n
Then it is also true that they have a good nucleus, young and strong. Maybe starting with Aleksander Balcerowski, a Polish center who recently returned to the club after his experience at Mega Basket Belgrade, one of the protagonists in the last success against Buducnost, the youngest rookie of the club with his debut at 17 years and 14 days. Against the Montenegrins, Balcerowski finished with 15 points, 4\/5 on 2’s and 2\/5 on 3’s, an anomalous figure for someone who in 19 EuroCup games had so far a laconic 1\/7 from 6,75 and not even one attempt this season. Besides him, Gran Canaria also lines up Artem Pustovyi (10.2 points+4.4 rebounds) and Khalifa Diop (4 rebounds per game). In the last cup outing, some elements put the accent on the team’s momentum: 21\/30 from 2 gave a 70% that represents a season record for coach Porfirio Fisac’s team. There was also a lot of substance in their own half of the court, with Buducnost held to a miserable 15\/43 from the middle distance, whose 34,8% is the second lowest figure of this EuroCup edition. Still on the topic of defense, Gran Canaria also limited Podgorica to only 12 assists, another new seasonal minimum. Five men between 22 and 26 minutes, with the bench giving only 15,5 of the 40 available. From long distance, its 40% is worth the second place in Eurocup, as well as the 8.5 recoveries, while the 19.6 assists per game are worth the fourth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
