Olimpia Milano Team News
Just when everyone expected that Olimpia was out of all problems, new ones started. After three wins in the Euroleague, a heavy defeat against Olympiacos followed, which was especially difficult for coach Messina, who offered his resignation for the first time after the defeat. This was not even thought about when Olimpia was in a series of nine defeats. To make the problem even bigger, a few days ago they were defeated in Berlin by Alba, who beat them by 20 points. It is simply unclear how such a team with excellent attackers cannot score over 70 points.
Milano roster is filled with great names such as Pangos, Baron, Mitrou-Long, Luwawu, Shields, Melli, Voigtmann, Davies, and Hines. Names and lineups that are predicted to have the highest ranges this season. Milan is 6-12 in the Euroleague and is in seventeenth place. It should be mentioned that Billy Baron is in excellent shape, and with his three-point shots, he brought very important victories for the models from Milan. Injuries are the biggest problem for Olimpia. Shields and Pangos have been out for a long time, and they were seen to be the bearers of the Olimpia game.
Milano lost to Alba with a score of 83:63, where Luwawu scored 16 points and Davies added 13 points. At the weekend, they lost in Naples, where Davis was the most effective with 28 points.
Zalgiris Team News
In the last round, the team from Kaunas showed true warrior character, and the principle of the game was enforced by the Lithuanian coach Maksuytis, who revived the team from Kaunas. Namely, at the very beginning of the last match, Keenan Evans suffered a serious Achilles tendon injury, thus ending the season. Evans was the best player of Zalgiris, as well as a link in defense and attack. A heavy blow for the Lithuanian team. Despite his injury, Zalgiris defeated Fenerbahce and all players gave their maximum contribution.
Lithuanian representative Ignas Brazdeikis arrived in Kaunas from the NBA. Besides these two, there are also Lekavicius, Kalnietis, Ulanovas, Butkevicius, Smits, and Hayes. They are in a great rhythm, where they have six wins in the last seven matches and a loss against Monaco by one ball. In the Euroleague, they have a score of 10:8, which puts them in the fight for the TOP 8. After his injury of Evans, the greens acted immediately and brought the duo from Ephesus. Polonara and Taylor arrived in Kaunas.
In the last match, they defeated another Italian team, Virtus Bologna, away from home, and once again showed that they are in excellent shape. They play team basketball where everyone knows their role. Against Bologna, Brazdekis and Smits were the most effective with 17 points each, followed by Ulanovas with 15 points. At the weekend they defeated Neptunas, Brazdeikis was the most effective with 14 points and managed to keep them below 50 points.
