Another great evening of Euroleague is waiting for Olimpia who receives the Fennerbahce second in the rankings in the last home race of the regular season, with Nicolò Melli and Devon Hall to add a nostalgic component to a challenge that counts a lot for the ranking.
Fenerbahce will try to introduce one of the first four positions with which she could have the benefit of the field factor in the play -offs; Olimpia and a bit further back in the ranking will try to strengthen its position in the play-in area and, if possible, to improve. With seven games to play, including this, every game can of course have a huge weight of the outcome of the season.
The Olimpia had won in Kaunas before the break and actually defeated the AS Monaco for recovery with him in battle. Now try to beat another opponent of the first band of the ranking for his audience, an opponent who was already defeated in the first stage in Istanbul. Fenerbahce does not score a lot (81.6 points per race, 13th), It is eighteenth in the shot from Two (51.4%), but grants 80.4 points per game, fourth absolute value, because it dirty the percentages of fosing shooting; On the perimeter) and does not grant second chans (it is first for less than offensive number, statistics in which statistics in which statistics in which the olimpia is third).
This says the numbers, but the Olimpia in the first leg won by scoring fewer triples and pulling worse from three of the opponent, but he kept it at 47% of two and pulled better through the area, with a monstrous test by Nikola Mirotic, who had 38 evaluation. The other key to that victory was the defense on Nigel Hayes-Davis, one of the best wings in Euroleague, which was recorded on six points.
In comparison with that match, the Fenerbahce added two players, the Jilson Bango Center from Saragozza, who has played little for the time being, and the veteran Errick McCollum, who after four seasons, at the age of 37, returned to EuroLeague, who instead decides offensive with 11.7 points.
