For the second time in the opening two rounds, MZT Skopje Aerodrom will face one of the Belgrade giants. After a rough landing in the opening round in Aleksandar Nikolić Hall against Zvezda, they will try to improve the impression in front of home fans in Jane Sandanski Arena against Partizan NIS.
ABA League 2nd round, Tuesday, 4.10.2016:
MZT SKOPJE AERODROM – PARTIZAN NIS
Where? Jane Sandanski Arena, Skopje
When? 17:00
Story of the game: MZT Skopje Aerodrom will have the second test against a Belgrade powerhouse in just a couple of days, only the name of the one will not be the same. After being defeated in the opening round against Crvena zvezda mts, they will now do their best in order to prove their value against Partizan NIS, which is coming to their home after a close win against Mornar in the first round.
It will be an exciting encounter since both teams have entered the season ambitiously, with an idea of competing for a spot in the ABA League Playoffs. The one that wins this one will therefore receive a huge boost ahead of the forthcoming games during the season.
And the most important fact – the huge stake for this game promises fantastic entertainment for the fans in the stands.
Match-up in focus: An interesting match-up will be the one at the point guard position where former Partizan NIS point guard Torey Thomas will try to prove that he is better than the current black and white acquisition William Hatcher. While Thomas was the top passer of his team in the first game of the season (7 assists) against Crvena zvezda mts, Hatcher led Partizan in scoring (11 points) against Mornar. Which way will be most valuable this time?
Head to head in regional league: In total 3:5. In Skopje: 2:2.
