Jasiel Rivero with Valencia

Havana, November 10 (ACN)-- Cuban Jasiel Rivero and his club Valencia Basquet, from Spain, will try this Wednesday to resume the winning pace in the Eurocup basketball tournament, a tournament that in terms of quality is only behind the Euroleague in the Old Continent.

After suffering two consecutive defeats, the Valencians, ranked sixth in Group B with one win and two setbacks, will visit the Italian Bologna (2-1), which is second in the group only behind the undefeated Buducnost Voli (3-0), from Montenegro.

That match will take place in Italy, at the Virtus Segafredo Arena, starting at 2:30 p.m. Cuban time.

In its most recent presentation, Valencia Basket, which with four titles is the team with the most trophies in that European competition, lost 89-90 at home to CB Canarias, another Spanish team.

Rivero had a great performance in that game with 16 points and three rebounds, although he could not prevent his team from losing on November 3.

On that day, at the Fuente San Luis Pavilion, known as La Fonteta, the Valencians came close to winning in front of their fans, a goal they failed to achieve despite dominating the last quarter 24-15.

The visitors were able to preserve the advantage of the first two periods in which they won 25-23 and 26-18, to go to the break with a favorable score of 51-41, while the third segment was tied at 24 points.

Rivero was the top scorer for the Taronjas with 16 points, followed by Martin Hermannsson (15) and Sam Van Rossom (14); while on the other side Nicolás Brussino (17) and Dylan Ennis (16) stood out.

As for the collective statistics, both teams were very even, with CB Canarias a little better in field goals with an effectiveness of 56.5 percent, product of 35 baskets in 62 attempts, and the locals with 54.2 percent (32/59), according to the official site of the competition.

Turning to three-pointers, the home representatives scored 12 of 29 for 41.4 percent, slightly lower than the 41.7 percent (10/24) of their opponents.

In addition, in rebounds the hosts captured 31 rebounds to 25 for their rivals; while in free throws they were also better with 76.5% (13/17) to 66.7% (10/15) of the Canaries, although ultimately the latter won the victory, which is the most important thing.

With this result, Valencia Basket suffered its second successive defeat, after losing 70-71 to Buducnost Voli, from Montenegro, on October 26.
