Anadolu Efes News
Efes is slowly but surely catching the right rhythm. After a slightly slower start, injuries, and changes in the composition, but also the lack of motivation of some players, they decided to start at their own pace again. All players got the right roles, and Shane Larkin is also coming back from injury.
On the very border of the playoffs, with a score of 8-8, we believe that they belong in a much bigger place. The leader of this season, like the previous ones, is Vasilije Micic, former MVP of the league, but also MVP of the Euroleague final. He got a lot of help this season from Will Clyburn, who continued to play with the rhythm he did for CSKA Moscow. Even when Larkin, who is a special attacking dimension, is added to this duo, Efes will be one of the biggest favorites to win the Euroleague again.
Ataman and his players know that this Euroleague system is a marathon and that they have to prepare themselves for what follows. In the last match of the Euroleague, they were defeated by Maccabi in Tel Aviv, while in the domestic championship, they beat Gaziantep also quite hard. They are not exactly in the best-attacking form, but ASVEL is a real rival to start a new series of victories.
ASVEL Team News
ASVEL plays hot-cold this season. Sitting on the bench is TJ Parker, who faced big changes in the team this season. Parker is without the leading players from the previous season, Okobo and Jones, but will try to make up for their departure with one of the best defenders in Europe, the French national team Nando De Colo. De Colo decided a couple of games directly with his points, and he especially stood out against Barcelona and Partizan.
In addition to Nando, the roster of the team from Lyon includes Retin Obasohan, Yves Pons, Amine Noua, Youssoupha Fall, as well as Alex Tyus, who came as a replacement for the injured Joffrey Lauvergne. This is a team that plays solid in defense, they have great athletic potential, and with their defensive width, they can stop even the best attacks in the league. Tyus brought a lot of mobility in the racket and experience, especially since Youssa Fall gets tired quickly due to his dimensions but also gets into a problem with personal mistakes. This season, ASVEL dropped even the strongest attacks below 75 points, but they face the biggest test this season because they are playing against the best attack of the last three seasons.
They are in a series of two defeats in the Euroleague, and both matches, they conceded over 90 points, which is an indication that they are in worse shape and that their defense has weakened. In the last match, they were defeated at home by Alba, which was in a series of twelve consecutive defeats. Khaudi scored 14 points, while Tuys added 13 points.
