MESTRE – Varese’s resistance lasts 26′, before the decisive break from Umana, which breaks it mercilessly and consolidates first place in the standings with full points. Reyer (without Parks and with O’Connell knocked out during the match) gives a nice confirmation of solidity. Openjobmetis collapsed in the second half due to a lack of rotations and the only weapon available, the 3-point shot, down. In the Garden City the “panic on” button has already been pressed. For Luis Scola this will be the week of big decisions. Tuesday 31st the desired closing with the Pelligra Group for a new corporate structure (and injection of liquidity), then the two fundamental matches against Tbilisi and Sassari. The use of the market can no longer be postponed: a handler and a big man are essential, the change of technical guide today seems a necessity if we want to turn the season around.
Umana Reyer Venice
Often 6.5: without heroics, there is no need, he shows that he has the team in hand.
Casarin 6: he doesn’t scratch, but gives physicality to the team.
Tucker 7.5: call him Trucker, he blows away everything and everyone with his athleticism (18 points in 21′). Illegal.
Simms 6: a start of fire and flames and then disappears.
Weavers 7.5: a professor. He uses his physical strength to sweep away the Cauley-Stein breadstick, rebounds strongly (8 caroms), opens the field for his teammates (4 assists).
From Nicolao 7: silent? Not much, he fans 7 chocolates and contributes substantially to sinking his former team.
Brown 7: another gold-grenade rubber ball, he punishes from beyond the arc (3/4 from 3), captures 5 rebounds, dishes 3 assists.
O’Connell s.v.: 6′ to leave us with our noses in a bad clash of play.
Janelidze s.v.
Brooks 8: 21 points in 18′. He is practically infallible at shooting (21 points with 8/9 from the field), a verdict for Varese.
Wiltjer 8: a feeling of total and absolute dominance. The figures say a lot, but not everything. For him 18 points in 21′, with 9/14 shooting, 6 rebounds, 3 assists. A post ruling near the basket, silky hands from beyond the arc.
Openjobmetis Varese
Moretti 7: tries to keep things going by making heroic shooting attempts (2/2 from 2, 2/2 from free throws, 5/7 from 3, 4 rebounds, 3 assists), in penetration, where needed. But in reality he is of no use. This team also throws him hard and makes him drown.
Hanlan 5.5: first half as the top scorer in the championship, in the second half he too disappears. Without a handler who creates advantages and offloads for the shot he has to act as an executioner and a hangman.
McDermott 5: scores the 4-0 which is worth -3 in the 26th minute. As if to say the last ring of Varese, which then goes down like the Titanic. But his performance is insufficient and it is not enough for him to adjust the numbers in the garbage time.
Brown 5: dominated in physique, on the other hand he is also out of role and, from his body language, also disheartened.
Cauley-Stein 4: the big misunderstanding of this team. If the lack of the handler is a summer mistake, his presence is a luxury that the team cannot afford. Useless and conditioning, he takes (as expected) blows from Tessitori and Wiltjer.
Shahid 6: he has courage and nerve, this must be acknowledged. It’s not his fault that he was chosen in the summer.
Librizzi 6: you see Shahid, a sufficiency that gives me courage, he is not the one who has to pull Bialaszewski’s chestnuts out of the fire. Indeed, if he were used more he would give something to the team.
Virginia s.v.
Woldetense 5: first half “on” mode, second half “off” mode. He tries to sting and tries in defense, if then in the rotations he is forced to defend against Wiltjer it’s not his fault.
Assui s.v.
