Real Madrid-Bàsquet Girona: in search of another win at the WiZink Center
The Whites will be looking for another league win following their victory over Panathinaikos on Thursday (12:30pm CET).
Real Madrid play their last game of an intense week in which they have played three games in six days. After the important victory in the Euroleague against Panathinaikos, Chus Mateo‘s men return to La Liga with the aim of remaining unbeaten at the WiZink Center. They welcome a renewed Bàsquet Girona, who they have beaten in the four games they have played so far.
Our team have been strong at the WiZink Center. Casademont Zaragoza, Partizan and Panathinaikos have all seen defeat in Madrid. We go into the game with confidence, the confidence that came from the way we beat the European champions, showing solidity, consistency and success in the three-pointers, with 15 scored. We go in search of our second league win. So does Bàsquet Girona however. Katsikaris' team lost in the last game against Covirán Granada. They have many new faces, including Nnaji, Guillem Ferrando and Durham. The latter, along with Iroegbu and Susinskas, is one of the offensive references.
Strong at the WiZink Center
For Madrid, Campazzo, Musa, Deck and Hezonja are carrying the load in attack in the league. All four are in double figures in scoring. After a week with three games, rotations will be obligatory for Chus Mateo's team. Today will be the second of four consecutive games Real Madrid will play at the WiZink Center (Thursday 24, Red Star; and Sunday 27, Baxi Manresa).
