Dan Peterson crowns Marco Belinelli: "Never seen anything like it"
On the last day of the A Series of basketball, among the contests played, there was also the direct clash between Virtus Bologna and Olimpia Milano, which ended with an 84-75 victory of the Felsinei, dragged by a super Marco Belinelli author of 17 points. On the performance of the former San Antonio Spurs è expressed himself without mincing words the former American coach Dan Peterson to the microphones of the "Gazzetta dello Sport".
"Many people today shoot three-pointers from "placed" with their feet on the floor. Finding someone like Belinelli who shoots with his feet in the air and with those percentages è almost impossible. The reason for the change in shooting technique è was done to pursue one goal, which is to speed up execution. It takes more time to get free in the air, coordinate and then shoot. Marco, on the other hand, manages not to waste any time when he shoots in the air; in fact, he has a very quick reception-throw sequence. The same thing is true in dribble, stop and shoot situations" debuted the'former coach of Olimpia Milano.
"Before the scorer can raise his hand, the ball è already; out of his hands. So he has one of the fastest releases in the history of the game. They say Klay Thompson has the fastest shot in the NBA, only 0.45 seconds from reception to release in the instant the ball leaves his right hand. For me Belinelli è the Italian version of the Warriors guard. The three-point shot for better or worse è the most important weapon in basketball today. Però I have never seen anything like what Marco did on Sunday: for me è even more incredible that he made that performance coming in off the bench, so not 100% warmed up, but cold. Moreover, as a true champion, he scored those baskets at a very important moment in a very delicate game" added the former journalist.
"I was not in Bologna for the derby d'Italia between Virtus Bologna and Olimpia Milano. Like many, I saw it on TV and è it was better that way, because after Belinelli's incredible blitz, someone should have called the emergency room to give me assistance. He è entered a very tight scoring contest and split it in two with 11 points in 35 seconds. It only took him four plays to tip the match in his side's favor: three-point basket, three-point basket, two free throws and another three-point basket" concluded Dan Peterson.
