Olimpia, Nicolo Melli ahead in double-doubles

Nicolo Melli’s numbers

Besides Shavon Shields (22 points and 5 rebounds with 24 rating), another player who deeply affected the victory achieved in Game 5 by EA7 Emporio Armani Milano against Virtus Segafredo Bologna was undoubtedly Nicolò Melli.

In the final 79-72 that earned Olimpia the 3-2 point in the Scudetto series, the long player from Reggio Emilia basically repeated the individual performance produced in Game 4 (12 points and 11 rebounds) with the only difference being that, compared to it, at the Forum he was able to cheer for the success of his own lineup.

In detail, the former New Orleans Pelicans and Dallas Mavericks closed the fifth episode of the tricolor confrontation against the Black Vs by putting up, with 13 points and 12 rebounds (of which 4 offensive and 8 defensive), the second consecutive “double-double” in the LBA Finals UnipolSai 2023, the third this season in Serie A considering also the 10-point, 13-rebound effort packed against Bertram Yachts Tortona last April 30.
