TipResumen

- Bakken Bears has already made their great succes on an international tournament. It is the first Danish team to move to a European playoff.
- Ventspils is one of the strongest teams in Latvia.
- Bakken Bears is a team with six Americans but with little rotation with good level.
- Ventspils has many second-tier NT Latvians, quite looser than the one that competed in Eurobasket last summer, but still competitive with Gulbis, Skele and Freimanis, among others.
- Ventspils has a small pavilion but, as in the Baltic countries, it pushes a lot.

* We see Ventspils favorite to win an advantage around the ten points that leaves the playoff well focused to 2nd match in Denmark.

- It's true that the moment of Venezia is not the best, but also known how to resolve his matches. Last five games were four wins.
- Venezia's second coach, Gianluca Tucci, has made it clear that they will not underestimate any rival.
- Kormend's trip to Italy has not been easy. They have gone on a small bus, nine hours of travel with problems due the snow.
- The expedition of Kormend has complained about the hotel in Venezia: small beds and very strong air conditioning. That reminds old times in continental championships.

* Venezia has a good opportunity to recover the morale against a rival that, by the circumstances, will not be in optimal conditions. The line has moved. We expect a victory of 20 points or more difference.
