Euroleague, Virtus torture: Partizan tears it to pieces

Severe lesson for the Cup Virtus, who comes out plucked from the Stark Arena in Belgrade losing without opposition by 90-62. The Partizan of the master Obradovic up to now at zero points was looking for a redemption in front of his people, and found his first victory in the Euroleague in a magical evening for her and cursed and never started instead for Segafredo. That comes out of the week of the double continental match at 0-2 with last Tuesday’s defeat in Kaunas. Never in the game, always far from the Serbian wheels, apart from an illusory -8 in the second quarter, the Vu has not excelled in anything showing instead flaws and defects.

Still under in the fight against rebounds, 11 fewer than rivals, bad shooting with 22% from three, Vu sought light from Teodosic alone, whistled by the Stark Arena, but for Milos it was a nightmare evening without scoring a single point with 0/4. Without him a Lundberg less lucid than other evenings and poised, 0/6 from the field, an assist, and Hackett who never took a bite of the game, there was no alternative, slipping slowly and inexorably in the score. Hit and sunk by an amazing Nunnally, 20 points with 4/6 in the triples, from the initial razors of Madar, 10 at the end and from the baskets to dig the groove of Andjusic, 4/5 to the shot.

At the start it was the small Israeli playmaker Madar who drove the Vu crazy, then when Scariolo stuck Pajola on him, Pertizan passed the baton to Nunnally ready to triple that shaken the already shaken Juventus fort. There was a 24-9, clear picture of the Bolognese difficulties and it was only with a three-pointer that Vu tried to return. Having nothing from the longs, a triple each from Belinelli, Weems and Mickey, Scariolo’s team recovered after 17 ‘of the game to -8. But another lash awaited her again with Nunnaly, again Mader and the matter got complicated when on the emotional wave of 16 thousand at the interval Belgrade touched +19: 51-32 after two quarters to reflect on a debacle defensive never tried up to now.

Trying to mend the Vu he also attempted a 3-2 unhinged, however, by a Partizan who continued to hammer from three. Nothing could then a Vu that dented the series irons and then suffered all the physicality of Lessort under the basket. The 69-47 with which the last fraction was started was a mountain just to look at from the valley. There was also a -31 in a quarter without history, only an agony for a Segafredo once again rejected by Europe. Back on the pitch next Thursday in Spain, at Real Madrid’s home.
