Basketball Olimpia Milano Melli knocked out for a month
Trouble never comes alone. But all together
It rains in the wet. The defeat, of 16 points, in a match that is a quarter-final of the Champions Cup, was not enough to make the Milanese sky gray. The knock-out of Gigi Datome was not enough. A player, to quote our colleague Gianluca Atlante, one that you cannot give to anyone, in this further European club championship. Because that’s what it is.
Towards the end of the havoc in attack shown against the reigning European Champions, Nicolò Melli also stopped after limping. One problem attached to the other, for the coach Ettore Messina. That in view of race-2 he will have to give the bottom to a large squad fortunately but always with fewer players available, in any rotations.

Here is the press release from the company of President Giorgio Armani:
“Olimpia Milano basketball announces that during yesterday’s match against Efes, Nicolò Melli suffered an injury to the medial twin of his right leg which will be re-evaluated in four weeks ”.
It means that they will have to get by, near the basket, for the rebounding battles against an opponent who has already put it yesterday, on the physical level, and also with a lot of blessing from the referees, Hines, Bentil, if used by 5 that is by pivot. And others who will have to be respected. There is little to make other considerations. It takes a team with “cazzimma”, against Efes which is committed to trying to clear Milan from the top 8 of Europe without wanting to make it enter the top 4. Also because the third match will be played, however, in Istanbul, in the home of the holders of the continental title per company.
For Milan, Europe risks drifting apart. And bad. Now, it will be up to see if we are talking about a real group. Cohesive, compact, as certain moments require. There are no further appeals. Tomorrow night.
Elsewhere, in Europe, they would gladly rub their hands, to see Olimpia out of the game. But this is about other people’s thoughts.
Tonight, meanwhile, it’s up to Olympiakos Piraeus-Monaco and Real Madrid-Maccabì.
Tomorrow Milan-Efes second act.
