Olimpia Milan, desperate to find the best Nikola Mirotic

The former Barcelona doesn't è yet in the best physical shape

Beaten by Virtus Bologna, Olimpia Milano è already focused on the upcoming challenges. On Thursday, a very delicate Euroleague challenge is scheduled on the court of Baskonia. A win is needed to keep hoping for the play-in but, to do so, the best Mirotic is needed. With Shields struggling with an Achilles tendon problem, the former Barcelona è called, loudly, to raise his level.

"In some games, against Real Madrid or Barcelona, his incidence è has been high but, in general, I would say that his incidence, to date, è has been average. We will do everything to bring it to an average/high level for the end of the season", the words of Coach Messina in the post match of the game with the Black Vs referring to his All Star. In short, Mirotic canò and must do more.

The various physical problems that have affected him in this first season in the red and white are a limitation that must be overcome soon: "I am managing him, for everything that è happened to him", admits the red and white coach himself. However, to hope for a positive end to the season, Olimpia Milano desperately needs what è was the most celebrated market coup of last summer.
