Euroleague, Olimpia Milano challenges the best ever

The record of Jasikevicius’ team è 9-2

Today (2:45 p.m. ball), Olimpia will be on stage at the Ulker Sports Arena, home of Fenerbahce. Coach Jasikevicius's team is, at the moment, the best in the entire Euroleague. In 11 games, it has won nine times, despite many injuries in key roles.

Milan is going through a good moment of form. It has won four of the last five Euroleague games, lifting itself up in the standings (5-6 the current red and white record). Winning at home against Fenerbahce would mean entering the play-off zone and certify the total recovery of the group led by coach Messina.

"We face a team that è has been able to win so many games despite injuries. They are a team with a very physical defense, which on offense è dangerous both in the low post game and through the pick and roll. Ball movement and control of rebounds will be the keys to create us a chance to win an obviously very difficult game", the words of the red and white coach.

Of course, spotlight on Melli and Hall, the two exes of the match. The former will be regularly on the court, the latter è in the pits due to injury, along with other Fener stars such as Wilbekin (season over). Some problems also for EA7, which will not be able to count on Nebo, Bolmaro, Tonut and Flaccadori. Practically certain is the debut in Olimpia jersey of newcomer Gillespie.
