Escape Olimpia

After the defeat of race 3, Messina changes the quintet with Bolmaro instead of Brooks, while Ivanovic chooses to start Shengelia from the bench. The Olimpia begins better, with Mirotic and Leday very inspired (they create 16 of the first 18 points in Milan), while Virtus becomes dangerous with the central pick and roll and the physicality of Diouf. Free shots are a factor, with the EA7 that pulls 16 in the first quarter alone, and seems to find an important tear after Brooks’ triple at the end. Despite the -12, however, Bologna does not get upset, and recuces clinging to Shengelia. Partial 9-0 of the Vu-Nere, everything returns to balance and the first half closes on 44-42 for Milan.
Virtus feast

In the second half the game opens: it runs more, the errors increase, and virtus benefits from it: Zizic, Crinier and the first basket in the Pajola series bring the Vu-Nere on +6 to 10 ‘from the end. The Olimpia, which sees closely the elimination, raises the intensity, conquers rebounds in attack and relies on the magical hands of Mirotic, but once again Virtus reallungs with a triple of cordinier and a shot from the average of Shengliaia. In the final, then, the Milanese attack melts completely: nobody scores anymore, and Shengelia is a prairie on the counterattack to crush the +6 at 20 ” from the end. Thus the Bolognese festival starts, while the Milan race ends at the fourth title in a row: the Messina team closes a bankruptcy season without trophies and without having even hit the Euroleague play-in.
