Olimpia triumphs, even after being at +17, they find themselves chasing at -6 and have to thank the Montenegrin, who scores 12 in the fourth period
The witches he also saw them on the night of Halloween (and it couldn’t be otherwise), but at least this time when he knocked on the door, asking “sweetie o joke”, Olimpia she saw the first one delivered. And it’s no laughing matter Ettore Messina, which also atUnipol Forum there wasn’t (the fault of thePlague: the deputy directed the operations on the bench Mario Fioretti): the Virtus he anticipated yet another comeback with which he would send him to hell Milano, which finally got back on track just a moment before hitting the usual wall. And this is because he decided to rely on the ideal driver for evenings like these. After all, Nikola Mirotic in the shadow of Madonna he landed with the specific task of drag the EA7 in times of need.
Mirotic lights up when the ball is hottest
Without the try monster of the Montenegrin in the fourth period, probably this would have been yet another indigestible evening for Olimpia. Con Bologna good at getting back upstream quickly in the third quarter, after having also sunk to -17 and closing the first half 9 points down. To light the fuse, needless to say, that Marco Belinelli that two triples in rapid sequence canceled the distances and even allowed a Cordinier before and Shengelia (25 points for the Georgian) then to put the arrow for the first time from the tap-off.
The witches sso come back to show off in the sky aboveUnipol Forum: had it not been for the triple with which Mirotic he crippled the maximum advantage Virtus (+6 in the middle of the third quarter, coming out of a rather tense timeout), perhaps the evening of derby on Halloween he would have written a different ending. With it “joke” once again faithful companion of Milano, who found a way to straighten out yet another misguided game in an October that was decidedly revisable in form and substance.
Virtus, rebounding is a torment: 40-24 for EA7
Mirotic was taken to be the leader in the moments that matterand tonight it was. The 12 points scored in the fourth period testify that in terms of ability to make an impact with the ball that weighs a quintal more than normal, he is second to few. Well done though Chatter, LeDay e Dimitrijevic to follow him when the stakes got high, with Bologna who received too little from his big men.
He is merciless in this regard the balance of the match under the basket: 40 to 24 the rebounds in favor of Olimpiaa clear sign that the problems of Segrafedo for the most part they are all concentrated under the table, where Diouf e Zicic they damn their souls, but without paying dividends. If we add to this the Clyburn’s very dark evening (two points from the foul line and 0/3 from the field in 22′), everything takes on a more complete meaning. And it shows how much this version of Virtus is incomplete and inadequate to compete at a high level, even on nights when the Buy it dice 21.
No Mannion: Shields’ injury changes the cards
Per Milano, victory in the derby is pure oxygen. And it comes a few hours after confirming what had been rumbling on for a few days: Nico Mannion will not reach the Lombardy capitalwith the negotiation with theOpenjobmetis Varese effectively shipwrecked and the infatuation to be considered now over. The Italian-American is back training with his team, ready to take the field at the weekend Trieste.
Olympia instead he cooled the leads leading to the point guard after that Shields’ injury will force her to allocate a extra budget to get to a wing who can replace him in the month and a half in which he will have to stay off the court. Where he won’t be able to think about it all the time Mirotic to remove the chestnuts from the fire, even if the 21 points combined with 13 rebounds in the evening they at least contributed to making the night less dark Halloween. Which remains a nightmare only for the Virtus.
