Cedevita Olimpija Team News
After six straight losses in the Eurocup, Cedevita defeated Ulm last week and achieved its first victory in the Eurocup. They signaled their way out of the crisis with a victory in the Derby against Partizan, where they achieved their biggest win of the season. It is the turn of the unpleasant Brescia team, which in the past proved to be an unpleasant team for the “dragons”.
Jurica Golemac is still the coach of Cedevita Olimpija, and he is the coach who has been replaced the most by the media in the last couple of years. But still, he remains on the bench of Cedevita, and it is obvious that the management trusts him. This season, Cedevita made a very high-quality and experienced team, and they added a couple of young and talented players. However, everything revolves around the play of the Americans Yogi Ferrell and Josh Adams, who get the most help from Zoran Dragić, who is the most useful and dangerous ball-handler in the team, in addition to the swept duo. Everyone shoots except Omić and Matković, and the role of these two is not particularly defined. They mostly serve as jumpers, since there is no special insulation for them.
Cedevita’s defense is too bad, but the attack never betrays. Amar Alibegović is having a great season, bringing a lot from the PF position, especially in the jump and three-point shooting. Cedevita has a lot of room for improvement, especially defensively and in the center game, but for now, Golemac is not using it.
Brescia Team News
Brescia has been playing erratically this season. Alessandro Magro is sitting on the bench, they made a respectable team this season, with experienced players.
Naz Mitrou-Long, who joined Olimpia Milano and became one of their leaders, and Brown and Moore left the team. Under its capabilities, Brescia brought reinforcements, the most outstanding of which is Kenny Gabriela, an experienced Euroleague wing center. In addition to Gabriel, the team was strengthened with CJ. Massinburg, Caupain.
From last season there are Laquintana, Della Valle, Petrucelli, Cobbins, and the experienced Moss.
In the EuroCup, Brescia is at 2:5. The leaders of the team from Italy are Massinburg and Della Vale, while Petrucelli often knows how to flash and bury the opponent’s basket, but his biggest problem is inconsistency.
