Virtus Bologna Team News

After many years, the Euroleague returned to Bologna, and the leaders of this famous team made a respectable team. But, injuries to the main players and poor form at the beginning of the season affected the result of the Euroleague to be better. However, they played very well in the domestic championship, and at the end of the regular season, they finished as runners-up with the same score as Milan.

In the first round of the playoffs, they easily defeated Brindisi, 3-0, and in all three matches, they were very efficient and convincing. They play attacking basketball while they are very solid and defensively potent. In all three matches against Brindisi, they scored over 100 points, which speaks volumes for what kind of attacking team they are.

They play on the drive of Milos Teodosic, who is the main creator of the team. Works great with Jaiteh and the inner line. When Teodosic doesn’t go, Virtus is in trouble. However, they gain a lot from the tandem of Hacket – Shengelia, who in the game 2 on 2 cooperate well and are indefensible for defenses in the Italian league. Especially since both can play with their backs against their guards, it often happens that Toko creates for Hacket in a “high-low” game.

Tortona Team News

Tortona is definitely the biggest surprise in the Italian championship. They finished as the third-ranked team in the regular season. And they transferred their good games to the playoffs, where they knocked out the Trento team, which played in the Eurocup this season. In the end, it was 3-1 for the Tortona team, and all four matches were very close to one ball, you could say.

This is one of the most experienced teams in the league. They have a lot of players who are over 30 years old. Many of them are experienced Euroleague players. First of all, we think of Leon Radosevic, who played for Bayern for many years. There is also Ariel Filloy, who has been one of the most consistent players on the Italian national team for a long time.

However, the main players are Semaj Chirston and J.P. Macura. Christon is the driving force of the Tortone team. He is the best scorer with 13.8 points on average and the team’s assistant with 5.3 assists on average. In addition to attacking qualities, Chirston is defensively very powerful and aggressive on the passing line. Tortona showed its seriousness when it managed to sign a player of his qualities.
