Virtus Bologna Team News
The team from Bologna has been playing quite erratically this season, but it must be admitted that they have raised their level of basketball a lot lately. The victory against Barcelona a couple of rounds ago resonated in particular. While in the last round of the Euroleague, they were defeated by one ball against Olympiacos at home, but it must be admitted that Virtus was also damaged by a couple of questionable refereeing decisions.
Virtus has a lot of problems in the defensive part, where they often concede over 80 points. Scariol’s protective sign is the selection and various variations in the selection, however, his chosen ones only showed defensive potential in certain parts of the season. The Virtus team is filled with experienced and proven players, there are first of all Teodosic and Shengelia, as team leaders. But they also have big problems with injuries. However, Teodosic has recently been playing as if in a trance and reminds me of Teodosic from CSKA.
In the last match against Reyer Venezia in the Italian championship, Teodosic scored a three-pointer for the victory in the last moments of the match, while against Olympiacos he was sent off because he received a second technical foul expressing dissatisfaction with the referee’s decisions.
Panathinaikos Team News
The Greens from Athens entered this season with great ambitions and filled their squad with very experienced and quality players. The Montenegrin expert Dejan Radonjic arrived on the bench, who produced excellent results with Crvena zvezda, but he is not doing well with Panathinaikos. Due to the bad results this season, Panata fans on a couple of occasions demanded the resignation and dismissal of Dejan Radonjic, but the club’s management gives him absolute support. Although Panathinaikos beat Aris by almost 20 points in the last round of the Greek championship, the fans attacked Radonjic after the game, demanding his resignation.
After five defeats in a row, Panathinaikos won in the last round against Maccabi from Tel Aviv. And Paris Lee and Bacon led the team with 20 points. However, Panathinaikos has a big problem finishing its opponent. Against Fenerbahce, they lost a 5-point lead with 20 seconds left in the match. It was similar against Maccabi, but Williams hit a triple that decided the match and saved Panathinaikos.
During the season, Panathinaikos brought in Dwayne Bacon, who is the best scorer in the Euroleague with over 20 points on average. He is a pure scorer, who only looks at the basket, which is exactly what Panathinaikos needs right now. In the first match, Panathinaikos beat Virtus by three points, after extra time. Williams dominated with 26 points, while Mam Jaiteh added 20 points and 10 rebounds for Virtus.
