Explaining why Olimpia Milano was raped by Fenerbahce 2nd team
The game between Olimpia Milano and Fenerbahce was a public humiliation for the Italian team. They showed now in this crucial game their fundamental lack of constancy. Simply said this is the level of a well-paid squad with mediocre results. This season they were better than ever, spending 25 million euros. Maybe they need an NBA budget to reach the Euroleague playoff.
But let’s see some true facts of the game:
- At halftime, Mike James, Nemanja Nedovic and Jeff Brooks had together 0 points and 6 turnovers. These 3 players who earn almost 5 million euros per season. They combined for 0 points in the 1st part of the game against Fenerbahce who came without 4 key players!
- Already in the 1st period, Olimpia Milano had 7 turnovers compared with only 9 made by Fenerbahce during the whole game.
- in the absence of the main centers, Jan Vesely and Joffrey Lauvergne, Fenerbahce was not affected in the paint. Milano’s centers were very weak in this game: Alen Omic played just 17 seconds, Kaleb Tarczewski had 7 points and 2 rebounds and so on. Fenerbahce without their main centers made more rebounds than Olimpia Milano.
- The Euroleague scoring king, Mike James was absolutely ridiculous: he finished the encounter with 3 efficiency value, having 1 from 8 shots made from the field, adding 5 turnovers. Nedovic had 1 index rate but at least he had the decency not to shoot. In 23 minutes spent on the court, he produced 3 points, 1 assist, 1 rebound and 1 turnover. These two guards are really making history for Milano!
- The old guy Sinan Guler, many games not even used by Fenerbahce, was much more efficient than Mike James and Nemanja Nedovic together.
