An extremely difficult mission awaits him Panathinaikos in Barcelona, where he faces the Barcelona (3/11, 21:30, www.sportfm.gr, News Bulletin 247, Novasports Prime), for its 6th matchday Euroleague.
The “greens” are in 2-3while on the other hand the “blaugrana” have started the season dynamically with a record 4-1.
From then on, his team Ergin Ataman she went “underwhelmed” and with significant absences in the capital of Catalonia, but with the psychology at… heights after the victory (66-54) in SEF, in the “eternal” derby of the Stoiximan Basket League opposite against Olympic. In fact, Panathinaikos has built a good momentum recently, counting three consecutive victories in all competitions, where among them is also against Baskoniain OAKA.
The “greens”, therefore, will be deprived of two extremely important players in their district, as in Athens the Kostas Slukas and Luka Vildosa. The international guard is suffering from gastroenteritis, while the Argentine has not overcome Achilles tendinitis, which also ruled him out of the league derby. So, that means… overtime is expected for him Jerian Grant. Of course, the Ioannis Papapetrouwho recently underwent surgery, as did the newly acquired, Kendrick Nunnsince he has not yet come to Greece.
As for her Barcelona he is not expecting Panathinaikos even with the best conditions. And that’s why coming off two straight mediocre performances, which cost her as many losses. The first one was even tougher, as it came with a score 65-64 from the Real Madrid in last week’s clasico in the Euroleague. The poor attacking harvest cost the “Blaugranas” the next defeat. This one was for the championship at home Valenciawhere he lost by a score 71-68.
However, the common denominator of the last two appearances of the Catalans was the key absence of Nicholas Laprovitola. The Argentinian guard is suffering from a muscle injury and according to the words of Roger Grimau, he will not be available even against the “greens”, with the coach of Barcelona characteristically declaring: “By 90% he will not compete against Panathinaikos either”.
Finally, the match at the “Palau Blaugrana” will have a special… family significance. The reason, of course, for the brothers Hernangomet that will face each other, since o Willie will wear the blues and o Juancho the green ones.
The referees of the match will be Sreten Radovic (Croatia), Olegs Latishevs (Latvia) and Joseph Bissang (France).
