Unicaja
We will see if Cabezas will be able to play, but even in case he won’t, they still have a lot of aces. Defense, defense, more defense, and very good offensive options too.
Defense starts on oneself, and then you receive teammates’ help. That’s Aito’s team flag. Individual intensity inside team defense. And then, Ndong ready to block every shot. They go from one on one till five on five going through the most agresive pick and roll defense in ACB.
Their full court pressure can speed up their pace and even intimidate the other team. They know how to punish turnovers.
Their offense, big knowledge and many options. Carlos Jimenez playing without the ball, Haislip’s hot moments, Cook’s shape…
I can’t hide my admiration towards the Canary Island’s team (neither towards their PG Mario Bruno Fernandez who I had the pleasure to coach some years ago).
They have very good coaches and their players aren’t respected as they deserve. They have been playing very good basketball the last seasons, always fighting hard to be in the post season, they are playing European competitions… A great Club and a great Team.
They play easy, sometimes, “only” a good off the ball screen is enough for them to create advantages. Carl English is their go to guy, and although a very good scorer, he’s also an unselfish player who can give the pass where needed.
And they have the desire of reaching the semifinals for the first time in their history, so they will be a very dangerous team.
