The two sign 39 points and drag their companions to the success on Shengelia and Crinier, who respond with “only” 29 points: Emilian and closer and closer to exclusion from the playoffs
Another knockout for Virtus in Eurolega. At the Segafredo Arena the “v blacks” surrender 81-71 in front of a partizan in excellent form, which relaunches after the derby lost against the Red Star. Too complicated to contain the Bianconeri the duo Brown-Jones, which drags the Serbs with 39 points in combined. SHENGELIA AND CRODINIER TRY Until the end, but they are not enough: the arithmetic exclusion from the play-in becomes closer and closer.
Discontinuous Virtus
–
The good Juventus start sees Alessandro Pajola in direct who, in addition to discreetly directing the Virtussino attack, also stands out in the other half of the field with many played players of pure determination. Shengelia also immediately immediately: dragged by the physicality of the Georgian, Virtus appears almost impeccable under the basket and with a average distance (8/9 from 2 points in the first 10 ‘). Sterling Brown replies to Ivanovic duo, dangerous both in penetration and when he stops from the arch. Virtus appears safe, but a blackout at the opening of the second quarter leaves it dry of baskets for 3 ‘. Then Partizan really becomes: defensive changes begin to work and limit the black and white possibilities. Segafredo no longer hurts under the basket, and now in addition to Brown he also suffers Carlik Jones. In the final of the first half there is room for Holiday’s debut, but the scene takes the former Lundberg with a heavy triple that, combined with the crushed in open field – again – by Brown, drags Obradovic’s men to Maximum advantage: we return to the changing rooms on 36-44.
Jones closes it
–
Same script after the interval: Ivanovic’s men continue to have difficulty moving the opposing defense, while another triple of Lundberg makes the Serbs fly on +14 (38-52). As usual, it is Shengelia to take Virtus in hand, not only from under the basket: Smazza Assist, steals balls and swells the retina even from long distance. Brown, now a sentence from the perimeter (4/4 of 3 points at the end of the third quarter), dampens the enthusiasm of the Segafredo Arena, but when Partizan seems to have the greedy opportunity to escape, here are three consecutive lost balls give breath To the hosts, who in an instant are reported to -5 (61-66) with the accelerations of Cordinier. Obradovic’s team is no longer so solid, the numerous cuts of Polonara left unpunished by the defense demonstrate this. Virtus tries, but the and one of Tyrique Jones gives the definitive blow to the bianconeri and turns on the Serbian festival, which win in Bologna 71-81.
