Partizan Belgrade decimated before receiving ASVEL

Frank Ntilikina, Iffe Lundberg, Mario Nakic, Vanja Marinkovic and Brandon Davies missed Partizan Belgrade’s final training session on Monday. “ It will be very difficult for any of them to be in the team tomorrow. I don’t know what our team will look like », Warned coach Zeljko Obradovic during a press point the day before the ASVEL reception, this Tuesday at 8:45 p.m.

After its good operation of the weekend thanks to its victory in Nancy following that against the leader of the Euroleague, Paris Basketball, the Villeurbanne team will try to open its European away counter at the Stark Arena after 7 defeats . Even decimated, Partizan Belgrade is a team in good shape that Pierric Poupet is obviously wary of.

“Even if they lost on Sunday against Buducnost, after eight consecutive victories, including five in the Euroleague, Partizan is one of the teams in good form at the moment. They are very impressive, offering, at a minimum, the same intensity as Paris, at home. With a lot of energy, a big defense, a lot of running and confidence on outside shots. And plenty of players capable of scoring points, and athletic qualities that match today’s Euroleague. They do a lot of things, they’re not an easy team to scout because Obradovic’s teams have a lot of options. (…) Of course we would like to win this week away, but it will not be the easiest matches, in two venues (in Kaunas on Friday) which are among the hottest in Europe,” explained the Norman technician at Progress Monday at midday.

Prolonged until the end of the seasonVilleurbanne winger Andre Roberson will be absent due to a painful ankle.
