Fenerbahçe Doğuş did not allow any new accidents at home after last week’s defeat against Zalgiris, and made a show of strength in the second half when it wiped out Red Star, which had gained momentum with three consecutive victories in the THY Euroleague: 82-56.
After trailing 9-4 in the first 5 minutes, Canary increased its defense and finished the quarter with a 13-2 series (17-11). The shocking 14-2 Red Star series at the beginning of the 2nd period (21-25) virtually restarted the match. F.Bahçe was ahead 41-33 at the end of the half with a 20-8 series in which Vesely played the leading role in both aspects of the game.
In the third quarter, Canary almost locked the ball. The Yellow-Navy blue team held their opponent to 9 points in this period with a 6-0 score with Wanamaker & Datome, and entered the last period ahead 62-42 with a quarter score of 21-9.
F.Bahçe Doğuş did not slow down in the last quarter and increased the difference to 31 points (81-50) with Dixon and Sinan’s three-pointers, and won the match 82-56.
In yesterday’s match, the fans were as amazing as F.Bahçe’s performance. While they praised their former Red Star player Antic, they honored all the players entering and leaving the field with cheers, and they received 10 points out of 10 in both sportsmanship and support.
They did not forget Pero Antic
Fenerbahçe Club and its fans did not forget Macedonian center Pero Antic, who lifted the Euroleague cup last year with the Yellow-Navy blue jersey, had a share in the historical success, and went to the Serbian team Red Star at the beginning of this season. The spectators, who showed great interest in Pero Antic before the match, cheered the famous player and opened a banner saying “Watch your beard, Pero Baba is back” for the Macedonian player who cut Datome’s hair after the Euroleague final. Then, Gigi Datome and Antic, who did not break the audience’s request of “Pero & Gigi, hand in hand, go to the stands together”, hugged each other in the middle of the field, amidst the applause of the stands.
