Freiburg on the PAOK road for the quarter -finals – the profile of the Swiss
The profile of the Swiss Freiburg that PAOK will face in the quarter -finals of the FIBA Europe Cup.
PAOK, after a sweet defeat by Dijon in France with 97-93, checked his ticket … first for the quarter-finals of the FIBA Europe Cup, where he will face double games against Freiburg with the aim of entering the four-year event.
The name of the Swiss may not be frightened first, but it is a productive team that has not come to the point of the event. Freiburg, coaching Timbo Petit, have a roster that is mainly made up of Swiss athletes but of course those who stand out are mostly its Americans.
Eric Notaj is her top scorer in the Europe Cup with 16.7 points average and top for the time, with 18/3 efficiency in all games. Next to Anthony Williams (12.3 points) and Natan Yurkovic (15.5 EFF), who together with Ross Williams (12.3 points) compose a four -way that is the barometer of Freiburg in all games.
It is a team that scores on average in Europe about 88 points but with its defense being at the same level in a passive context, while shooting over 55% in the two -point, 35% in three -point and 70% on shots.
In 13 league games, Freiburg has a 12-1 record while in the Europe Cup it is 7-5, and it is worth noting that its European trip from BCL, as well as PAOK, was excluded from the qualifying group.
Dikefalos has faced the Swiss in the past and more specifically in 2019, when he defeated her both in Palataki (92-61) and away (64-84). Its stadium is the “Salle Saint-Léonard” with a capacity of 3,000 seats and it is a given that PAOK will have its world on its side.
It is noted that the quarter -finals will take place on March 5 and 12 (at home and away), while the qualification will be judged in the total difference between the two games.
