Olimpia Milano Team News
Milan and Messina have many problems this season, either because of a large number of injuries or because of their poor play.
They ended an unpleasant series of 9 consecutive defeats in the Euroleague in Belgrade against Crvena Zvezda and followed that up with a victory against Monaco. Billy Baron turned both matches around with his shots. Against Zvezda, he hit a three-pointer that broke the match, and against Monaco, he started a series of 18-0 in 4/4 and led his club to its third victory in a row.
It seems that the team from the city of fashion is rising, and will show its full potential. The big problem in Milan’s game was their defense, which they improved in these two victories, and it is certain that Messina will demand that it continue.
Milan’s roster is filled with great names such as Pangos, Baron, Mitrou Long, Luwawu, Shields, Melli, Voigtmann, Davies, and Hines. The names and composition of who are predicted to have the highest ranges this season. Milan is 5-10 in the Euroleague and is in seventeenth place.
In the last match in the Euroleague, they beat Monaco at home with a score of 79:71. Baron led the team to this important victory with 23 points, while Davies followed him with 14 points. During the week, they defeated Varase, where Davies was the most effective with 20 points.
Valencia Team News
The team from Valencia is led this year by the famous basketball player, Alex Mumbru. Valencia is an unpredictable team, which is best shown by their results this season. They defeated Efes and Olympiakos on the road, while at home they lost to, on paper, worse teams.
Lately, the chosen ones of Mumbru have been in a changing form, although they have been in this rhythm throughout the year. Valencia’s roster is made up of a couple of experienced players and players who are interesting and eager to prove themselves at the highest level. Dubljevic is the leader of this team, although it’s hard to say, because they play a lot as a team and someone else always stands out. In addition to Dubljevic, there are also Jones, Harper, Prepelic, Rivero, Webb, Radebaugh, Claver.
Valencia, just like Milan, has a lot of problems with injuries this season, although Valencia has managed much better and they have quite decent results. Within the Euroleague, they are in 11th place, with a 7-8 record. Special mention should be made of an under-the-radar duo that does a serious job in the pick and roll game, i.e. the collaboration of Harper and Rivero.
In the last match within the Euroleague, they beat Barcelona at home with a score of 84:83. The team was led to a great victory by Rivero with 16 points and Dubljevic with 14 points. The day before yesterday, they were defeated by Endesa on the road to Granka. In that match, Dubljevic and Harper led the way with 14 points each.
