Tajfun or Tornado?
In the opening game of the sixth round, two teams that haven't experienced the best outcomes during the past few rounds will meet in Višnjik, Zadar, to try to turn their success curve around and start a new successful story. Tajfun will meet Zadar and their famous Tornado fans.
ABA League 6th round, Friday, 16.10.2015:
Where? Krešimir Ćosić Arena, Zadar
When? 21:00 CET
Story of the game: With all forces available on his playing roster, head coach Dejan Mihevc and his players are travelling to Zadar, where they will face the home side led by Ante Nazor from the bench.
Currently, both sides are on negative streak and therefore it is not necessary to explain why particularly is this game of vast importance for their position in the standings, not only after six rounds, but perhaps even at the end. Zadar has, after opening game success against Cibona, lost four games in a row, while Tajfun, which won two out of three opening games lost two in a row. It is true, though, that both Tajfun and Zadar have faced two of top three teams, Crvena zvezda Telekom and Budućnost VOLI, over the past three rounds.
The clash at Višnjik will therefore decide, which of the two teams will be able to open a brand new successful chapter in round 6 which may be a beginning of a new winning streak.
Matchup in focus: You rarely see teams with so much height in the paint in the ABA League, as you will be able to watch during the game in Višnjik this time. One of the best, if not THE best, shot blockers in the league Filip Kraljević (212) cm will try to stop the opponent's giant Emir Zimić. Will he be able to do it again, as he successfully did over the past few rounds with big men of other teams?
