Olimpia Milano, last call against Obradovic’s Partizan
In the ranks of the Red and White there'è the return of Diop
Forgetting the resounding defeat suffered in Berlin at the hands of Alba. That's the goal of Olimpia, which today (8:30 p.m.), è on stage in Belgrade, on the court of Partizan. The red-and-whites have a negative record in the Euroleague (3-6) but Obradovic's team isn't in total crisis either (2-7). In short, neither canò make a mistake.
The good news in the EA7 house è the return of Diop. The long man canò be an important asset for a team that is struggling a lot defensively, as evidenced by the 105 points cashed by Alba Berlin (in 45', since an overtime was played).
Coach Messina finds, once again, Obradovic. It will be the 23rd challenge between the two giants of European basketball, this time with a somewhat different flavor than many other challenges. For both, it seems a bit like the classic last resort.
L'EA7 è called for a quick redemption. In the summer, among the goals was to fight for a place in the Euroleague playoffs. The start of the European season has been very disappointing. Net of the victory with Real Madrid, there are so many disappointments suffered by Mirotic and his teammates. Winning in Belgrade, always a very hot court, could trigger something in a team currently without identity and unable to give continuity to its positive performances.
