After the victory over Trento at the start of the Eurocup (84:81), and the convincing triumph against Andorra in the 1st round of the Endesa League (91:71), Gran Canaria's basketball players are coming to Podgorica, where tomorrow (19) they will play against Buducnost Voli.
The Spanish team won this competition in 2023, but then refused to play in the Euroleague. They stayed in the Eurocup, and surprisingly lost to Besiktas in the round of XNUMX last season. The new season is an opportunity for a better performance, than it was the case of the previous one...
"The future plays fast, their players like to play in transition, to solve attacks after ten seconds. They have a physically very strong team, with quality, talented players, because the rules in the Eurocup and the AdmiralBet ABA League allow them to have up to ten Americans." said Granka's coach, Jaka Lakovič.

The Slovenian expert particularly pointed out what the main task of his team is.
"Defensive balance and rebounding will be key, as well as our ability to stop Yogi Ferrell and McKinley Wright. There's Rashid Sulaimon and Fletcher Magee at the two position, and in the racket there will be Kenan Kamenjas and Judoka Azubuike, who are very dangerous. I hope that we will be ready to play the best game and get a chance to celebrate," explained Lakovič.
He also referred to the beginning of the Endesa League.
"We feel good after the victory over Andorra. But we are aware that we have a lot to do in order to be even better," concluded Lakovič.
