Virtus Bologna and Olimpia Milano, i.e., the two championship battleships, will play for the title. Among the Black Vs there will be a "kid" of 38 years old ready for anything to bring home the title of Champion of Italy.

"They are playing great basketball, both on offense and defense. Messina will be ready as always, and we are doing an important job to make something positive happen. Right to say that they are the team to beat but we are not afraid. I am proud to be in the finals again, now we want to close in the right way", the words of Belinelli himself to Gazzetta dello Sport.

The NBA Champion with the San Antonio Spurs è returned from a sparkling season.
