Undoubtedly, the biggest surprise of European basketball this season, Frutti Extra Bursaspor will take the stage to make history on Wednesday, May 11th. The green-whites, who worked in the training hall, which was established in 2015 and prepared with hardwood and armchairs brought from many halls, and which was established with only 1 million dollars, will face Virtus Bologna in the final of the EuroCup. The final match, which will start at 21.30 and will be broadcast by TRT Spor Yıldız, will be held in Italy due to the status. The team that won the EuroCup will take part in the THY Euroleague next season. If Bursaspor becomes champion, it will qualify to play in the most important club-based organization of Europe next season.
4 NAME’S SALARY 7 TIMES THAT OF BURSA
Competing with a modest squad, Bursaspor wants to reach the championship in front of Bologna, which draws attention with its Euroleague level players. Bursa’s total salary payment is approximately 1 million dollars against Bologna, which only pays around 6 million 850 thousand Euros per year to famous players such as Milos Teodosic, Marco Belinelli, Tornike Shengelia and Daniel Hackett. Maybe not the most career in the team, but French center Mouhammadou Jaiteh, who is Bologna’s leader in EuroCup points and rebounds, draws attention. Jaiteh, who also wears Gaziantep Basketball jersey, is struggling with 12.8 points and 7.5 rebounds averages in EuroCup this season.
