Nando de Colo: 3 Clutch Shots – [Vidéo]

He did not finish as top scorer in the match between ASVEL and Paris this Tuesday, December 30, but it was nevertheless he who took on the hero’s costume. With his 17 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists for 24 ratings, Nando de Colo (1.95 m, 38 years old) had a match to his high standards. But it was his last four minutes that elevated him to the rank of XXL performance, pushing the EuroLeague to designate him Man of the Match, despite the 28 points of a Glynn Watson Jr also fantastic.

While the game was tied at 74-74, De Colo drew three times in a row at 3-pointers, each time a minute apart, and while Paris answered him each time (77-74, 80-77, 85-79). Three cool-headed winning shots, while he was… 0/3 behind the line before that. Three shots that made the LDLC Arena roar, and gave ASVEL two victories in a row for the first time this season in the EuroLeague:

“It could indeed be that this is my last season”

If the main person concerned mainly highlighted the collective performance of his team in a post-match interview, this is not the case for his coach Pierre Puppetwho highlighted the « tirs clutchs » returned by its veteran leader: “we were able to rely on him and Glynn [Watson Jr] At the end of the match, you have to give them credit. » Even the opposing coach Francesco Tabellini recognized that ASVEL had “executed better than us at the end of the match, they took the shots they needed, and we didn’t. »

The second-highest scorer in EuroLeague history – who recently surpassed the 5,000 career points mark – shows that he still has some under his belt. Better than that, with his 13.6 points average, it’s his best season on the European scene for three years. Enough to place him as ASVEL’s second scorer in the competition. We can say that it ages like a good wine.

In an interview with Le Parisien this Wednesday, he announced that this “could indeed be [sa] last season »even if he does not want “don’t worry about that” and that “nothing is 100% done. » His mastery of the game illustrated by his clutch performance last night indicates that he could in any case still have the level to play for a long time.
