ABA League 19th round, Friday, 08.01.2016:
Where? Golovec Hall, Celje
When? 20:00
Story of the game: In Golovec Hall, Celje, two teams that are currently facing an unbelievable crisis of results, are about to battle each other in order to fight their way out of the negative streaks that they are facing.While Tajfun have lost their last four games in the ABA League, Zadar on the other side haven"t tasted the sweetness of a victory for the last six rounds!
Tajfun are of course hoping that their home court advantage, which usually gives them wings in order to play traditionally better than on the road, can help them to get back on the winning track. On the other hand, Zadar have been showing good performances in the past couple of rounds in the first halves of games, but have failed to maintain the high tempo throughout their games. Can they do it this time?
Let"s mention another motive of the two rivals for the forthcoming game - the one that wins this game, will be ahead of the other one in the standings after the game, since both of them have collected exactly 7 victories this season in the ABA League.
Match-up 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?
