Valencia - Zalgiris Kaunas

Round 14 of Euroleague game's and we have Zalgiris once again, this time he will play against Valencia team from Spain, which is struggling and loosing every match.

Zalgiris plays very good basketball and we don't need to expect they will loose now, why they should ? They play very good defense and offense, team won against Fenerbache, won against Bamberg at home and made less than 10 turnovers. All players started to play very good, they feel devotion and motivation. Milaknis good triple shooter and i think this time he will get defended well, but there is Jasikevicius with will make other plan, Pangos may shot by himself if Milaknis won't, we now have Toupane who playing much better, Kavaliauskas finally can play and give rest to Jankunas.

Valencia - Such a great team, such great players, same like last year, but they just don't have any wins? Why? i dont know. Still players like Green Erick, Dublevic, Diot can make difficulties for Zalgiris to defend. Older players like San Emeterio makes team better, but they just don't play good enough for Zalgiris.

Euroleague news :
The December double week will give Valencia Basket (3-10) a new chance to get a new win, this time against Zalgiris Kaunas (8-5) when the two teams meet in Spain on Thursday for Round 14. Valencia is currently on a nine-game losing streak, its longest ever, while Zalgiris comes from a narrow home win to Bamberg. This will be the fifth time these sides meet in EuroLeague, and Valencia will play to increase its current 4-0 perfect record. Erick Green is the main man for the hosts in offense (16.5 ppg.), followed by Bojan Dubljevic (10.5 ppg.) and Fernando San Emeterio (10.4 ppg.). For Zalgiris, Paulius Jankunas is having one of his best seasons ever (13.5 ppg. and 5.0 rpg.), helped by Kevin Pangos (12.6 ppg.) and Edgaras Ulanovas (8.7 ppg.). Zalgiris is the third best offense in the league (82.5 ppg.) and the team coached by Sarunas Jasikevicius has already won three games on the road this season. Valencia only dominates the guests clearly in the free throw line (83.0% to 77.9%), but the fans at La Fonteta will push hard to make sure their team wins again after having started the season with a solid 3-1. It could be one of the last chances for the team in orange to stay on the playoffs train, while the team from Kaunas will play to improve an already impressive record before the end of the year.
