THE TAKE

DKV Joventut and Unics Kazan, two teams with tremendous firepower from beyond the three-point arc, clash in Week 2 action and only one will emerge with a 2-0 record and sole possession of first place in Group D. This figures to be one of the premier contests on the slate for Week 2 as both sides love to light it up. On opening day, Kazan blew away the history books by dropping a total of 20 three-point bombs on Besiktas ColaTurka, while last week Joventut set the record for three-pointers in the Spanish League by netting 19 a the expense of CB Murcia. The big guns in this shootout for Joventut are shooting guards Clay Tucker and Uros Tripkovic, point guard Kristaps Valters and small forward Luka Bogdanovic. Tucker led the way in Joventut’s opening day win over Telekom Bonn with 16 points, 6 assists and 4 rebounds, and Valters added 7 points and 6 assists. Facing them is sharp-shooting guard Marko Popovic, who tied Ruben Douglas’s individual record of 9 threes in Week 1, backup guard Victor Zvarykin and veteran forward Saulius Stombergas, who is coming off a 5 three-pointer outing versus Besiktas. Adding balance to their perimeter players, both squads have forwards who can do the dirty work as well as score the ball. Kazan’s Igor Zamanskiy and Vladimir Veremeenko do a little bit of everything while Joventut has Pere Tomas, youngster Henk Norel and the athleticism of Alain Koffi to draw upon. An interesting subplot, which could very well make the difference in the game, will be the battle between two of the best bangers in the competition – Joventut’s two-time Eurocup-winner, Edu Hernandez-Sonseca, and Kazan’s talented Kresimir Loncar. If one of the two can impose themselves in the paint, it could swing the battle in his team’s favor if the outside scorers end up canceling each other out.

Head Coaches

ALONSO, SITO
DKV Joventut
"Its is clear that we haven't done the best beginning of game and we have been conditioned by this. We have made many mistakes most of them because of being too hasty, but I would like to congratulate the players for the good defense as we have been very close at the end of the game, but veterans like Stombergas have shown their skills. I think this game will be very important for our young players as it will be very useful for their development."
CHOMICIUS, VALDEMARAS
Unics
"I am really tired but happy as I have finally been able to win after losing as a player, second coach and coach with Joventut. We have been thinking all the week about this game defense and we have showed it today as we knew how Joventut played. We have signed many young players this year but they have played very good as we need them due to the short rotation, but this is also good as they feel the responsibility of their role in the team."
