Olimpia Milano: two games to figure out the future in Euroleague
Returned Nebo, Shields’ condition worries
In the league, thanks to the victory over Napoli, the situation è under control. Olimpia has won four of the five LBA regular season games played. The real problem è the path in the Euroleague. The start of the European campaign è has been disastrous, especially in light of the initial goals, which were to win a place in the play-offs of Europe's top competition.
After the first five games, EA7 won only one game (against Paris) and, more importantly, lost the last two games played at the Forum, with Zalgiris and Efes, respectively. A very delicate situation that has led coach Messina to question whether a new revolution is not needed.
This week, Milan will play two key games for its future in the Euroleague. On Tuesday; the trip to the field of Baskonia. Then, on Thursday evening, the Italian derby, at the Forum, against Virtus Bologna. Two games to be won at all costs to relaunch themselves in the standings and not lose further ground from the clubs aiming to play the post season.
The good news in the red and white house è Nebo’s return to the court. In Naples, the long man showed he has put the injury that forced him to the pits for about a month behind him. The problem now is the condition of Shields, who left the court, again in the challenge with the Parthenopeans, after not even two minutes of play. Shields è crucial to the red and white attack.
