Game Notes and Facts: Hamburg vs. Turk Telekom

Veolia Towers Hamburg v Turk Telekom Ankara (2022-10-18T17:30:00.000Z)

Two teams with high ambitions for the season will square off in just Round 2 of the regular season when Frutti Extra Bursaspor and Joventut Badalona battle it off in a Group A showdown.

### Bursaspor's defense will be a must

There's no denying that a road win in Ljubljana is a mor-than-solid way to start the season. But now, Bursaspor welcomes one of the biggest teams in the league, and the path to repeat last season's result has just started. The hosts are behind Joventut in assists and steals and, in fact, they just rank 17th in the latter category. Granted, after only one game it's hard to see trends, but Joventut's mix of talent and experience will require most of Bursaspor's defensive weapons. 

### Joventut needs to do its homework

Last season, Joventut was one of the main candidates for the title, and got ambushed at home by ratiopharm Ulm in the first round of eliminations. Now, it faces the current runners-up in the second round. There is no time for unpleasant surprises and the team needs to know what it stands up against. A 98 PIR in Round 1 indicates that the guests did many things right, but the hosts have names like Onuralp Bitim, Athony Clemmons, Derek Needham and David Dudzinski, who have played together for a while now and can gang up on any given opponent.

Keys to victory: Bursaspor vs. Joventut

Frutti Extra Bursaspor v Joventut Badalona (2022-10-19T17:00:00.000Z)

One of two teams that started the season with respective wins will stay undefeated after the final buzzer when Frutti Extra Bursaspor (1-0) welcomes Joventut Badalona (1-0) for a Group A showdown in Turkey on Wednesday.

Bursaspor started the season by sending a message to the rest of teams with a solid, 73-81, road win at Cedevita Olimpija Ljubljana. Anthony Clemmons, Yigitcan Sybir and Onuralp Bitim combined for 56 points, while the rest of the team also stepped up on defense and managed to limit Olimpija’s scoring at home. The current runners-up will be playing Joventut, one of the perennial title candidates in the EuroCup, for the first time ever, so the game will be a good chance to gauge where both teams are currently standing.

Joventut arrives to Turkey having done its homework in opening week with an 80-63 decision over Germani Brescia. Newcomer Harry Ellenson had a great 7DAYS EuroCup debut, leading the team with his 18 points. The trio that shined last season, formed by Pau Ribas, Andres Feliz and Ante Tomic, was also another main pillar in Joventut's win.

Bursaspor welcomes Joventut in Group A showdown

### Walter De Raffaele, Reyer head coach

"Bourg is a solid team. They kept the main group from last season, Julienne, Courby, Pelos... and they also added talented players like Floyd and Palmer. It's a very skilled team. They come form a good game and we will have to make a physical impact. We will have to think a lot about how to improve."

### Marco Spissu, Venice player

"It’s our first home game in EuroCup and we are strongly motivated to have a great game in front of our fans. We need to get focused on ourselves, we are moving forward pretty well. We are growing, it’s a long journey so keep pushing!"

Pre-Game quotes: Venice vs. Bourg

### Andrej Urlep, Slask Wroclaw head coach

"We are fine after a tough trip to Gran Canaria and Szczecin. You could see that my players were a little bit tired in the last league game, but once again we won because of their effort. I hope that we will be fit and well prepared for the game against Buducnost which we look forward to." 

### Aleksander Dziewa, Slask Wroclaw player

"It will definitely be fantastic to come back to Centennial Hall. The last game we played there was the winning final of the Polish Championship. I am convinced that the atmosphere will be amazing and I hope that the fans will come in large numbers and have a great time." 

### Vladimir Jovanovic, Buducnost head coach

"Our rival is showing high-quality game both in EuroCup and domestic league. They won all three games in the Polish championship, and what they showed away against Gran Canaria is surely the reason why we have to go to the game at our best. Before the game with MZT, we regrouped, shared new roles and found a way to play solidly. I hope that we made the most of these two days and that we will go there ready to compete. We have roster problems, we don't have all the players in the team, especially Popovic and Ilic. The absence of anyone is a big handicap, especially in the back line, which is not too deep."

### Cameron Reynolds, Buducnost player

"I expect us to come out strong and play defense, to make the game difficult for them. They like to run, we will try to slow them down and hopefully we will beat them. It is very important to win this match, but we don't want to put too much pressure on ourselves, because then we can make problems to ourselves. This is definitely a game that we want to win, because we want to be on the right track, to be in the game to win the EuroCup and the ABA League. That's why every game matters."
