Olimpia Milan out of the top four but there's good news
L’Olimpia has fallen on the court of the leading Trapani. For the biancorossi, it is the tenth defeat of the season. A heavy misstep that, in fact, resets the chances of coach Messina’s team to close the regular season among the top four. With only one game left to play, EA7 is already sure to finish fifth.
“Play-offs? It will be tough. We will finish fifth and we will have three playoff series, assuming we make it to the finals, with the bella away from home. A very tough path, we will have to be very ready”, the words of coach Messina in the post-game.
However, there’s some good news. Against Trapani, after practically five months spent in the pits, Nebo was back. Having the 27-year-old long is excellent news for coach Messina. His physicality will come in very handy in the post season, as will his ability to rebound. After all, he was chosen to be the pivot of the red and white defense.
against Trapani he stayed on the court 14′ giving the impression that he has fully recovered from his shoulder injury. Next Sunday, against Scafati, he will have even more space to regain confidence with the rhythm of the game and be 100 percent for his commitments in the playoffs. Having Nebo available again is, for sure, good news for Coach Messina.
