Just when everyone thought that the injury of Giorgi Shermadini would cause Tenerife (4-2) lots of trouble, J. Vidorreta’s team is going through a period of excellent form. Last week they managed a superb away victory over Baskonia (65-71), after playing an excellent fourth quarter, with the individual score at 6-22. Canadian Kyle Wiltjer paved the way with 19 points and the most crucial three-pointer in the last minute, which essentially decided the winner. Bruno Fitipaldo was also very useful with 15 points and 7 assists. Unfortunately, critical Georgian center, Shermadini (last season’s MVP), is out of action in early December.
This year’s European adventure for Badalona in the Eurocup (3-3) started in the best possible way; last Tuesday, they defeated Trento in Italy (56-86). In yet another game, the Catalans’ weapon was pluralism in attack, with Ante Tomic, Joel Parra and Vladimir Brodziansky scoring 13 points each. Simon Birgander added another 12. Unfortunately, however, this victory came at a price: Carles Duran’s team was hit by the injury of American forward Brandon Paul, who has been ruled out for the next 4-6 weeks.
Injured F. Bassas and Ar. Zagars did not travel to Tenerife also.
