Happ, the threat of Valencia who will arrive without centers

The second quarter this Thursday (21:00, Movistar+Deportes) smells like revenge.. Gran Canaria won in La Fontette in the last match of the first round and secured a place in the Copa del Rey in Malaga. But the hype turned out to be capricious and caught up with them in the quarterfinals. Some, as Damien Inglis assured AS, were happy. They want to get rid of this blur.

But after that game everything changed a lot, especially in Valencia. Taronhas appear in Martin Karpena without centers.

. If a miracle happened, Brandon Davis might show up. although he traveled to Malaga without training with the group. This is a serious doubt. Toure is not there and is not expected, and in this panorama Ethan Happ appears on the horizon. On a day where Toure and Davies were in form, he left La Fonteta without missing a beat and his record is daunting: he’s hitting average. 16.3 points on 70.9% shooting from two, 6.5 rebounds (2.9 offensive) and 2.2 assists with a PIR of 21.1.. Reuvers, Pradilla and Inglis will do their best to stop him.

This time the betting favorite is Dreamland Gran Canaria, but in previous years the favorite has been Valencia, who come home in their first match. The Cup is the Cup. A crazy competition that excites even the most serious ones. “If we win, I will shave my head, but not with a razor, it will be something more elegant.

“, Jaime Pradilla jokes to AS.

Out of the game

But the winner of the fight will depend not only on strength in the paint. Their chances in the match will depend on Valencia’s performance on the outside, as happened at the Palau Blaugrana. AJ Slaughter and Albisi arrive in the Canary Islands with a sharp focus.
