Virtus Bologna beats Olimpiacos and è second alone

Tuesday&#39s was a magical Euroleague night for Virtus Bologna: in fact, the Black VUs won on a comeback against Olympiacos, winning 69-67 after starting the last period down by 10 points. The success è also important in terms of the standings: thanks to Barcelona’s simultaneous knockout against Alba Berlin, Virtus è second alone, with 11 wins and 4 losses, behind only Real Madrid (14-1 record for the Blancos).

On the sidelines of the victory, Luca Banchi explained the key to success: “In the second half we showed the identity of a team made up of players who want to compete, no matter what the physical differences noré the score on the scoreboard. We attacked better and slowly crumbled them, while in the first half we were shooting 20% and never went to the lunette”.

“What è changed in the last quarter? We played on tracks more congenial to us,” Banchi explained, “and I won’t hide the fact that the great support of our fans helped in no small part. We know that it takes little to involve the’environment, and we succeeded in the final. But it was already from the beginning of the third quarter that the feelings had become positive, while in the first half there was a bit of surrender”.

Virtus Bologna thus obtains victory number 11 in this Euroleague regular season: with three more victories it would have already equaled last year’s win total, obtained forò playing 34 games.On today’s night, in terms of statistics, Cordinier’s 13 points, Belinelli’s 12 and Dobric’s 10, as well as the all-around performance of a Hackett with 8 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists, are worth mentioning.

The bronze medal at the Olympics and the semifinals at Wimbledon have charged her up

This is it. Italy è is ready to start on the road to another possible dream, which is to win the Davis Cup again. The first obstacle è represented by the hostile Argentina (absolutely not to be underestimated). The Azzurri are betting, of course, on world No. 1 Sinner but there’è great confidence also in Musetti who arrived in Malaga in great form.

The blue number 2 è has been the protagonist of a heavenly season. The bronze at the Olympics and the semifinals at Wimbledon have charged him up. Now he è ready to be an absolute protagonist in the Davis Cup: “I arrive with a different maturity at all levels”, his clear words to Gazzetta dello Sport.

“I’m ready to take more responsibility and have a more central, more important part than 12 months ago. There will be a lot of excitement, a lot of adrenaline, and I have a lot of desire to experience the competition”, the commentary of Musetti himself, who arrived in Malaga in excellent physical condition, having had some time to rest after Paris-Bercy.

Clearly, with such a motivated Musetti, è much can be expected from Italy. Sinner è an absolute guarantee but, to make it all the way, the help of all the members of the blue team led by captain Volandri is needed. There’s a strong desire to accomplish another feat and return to celebrate, all together.

Well Golden State, black crisis for Philadelphia

So many contests in the NBA night. With its back against the wall, Milwaukee finds the strength to fight back and take home a crucial victory in the match with Chicago (122-106 the final). Race dominated by Antetokounmpo who finished with an impressive 41 points on the scoreboard, including 25 in a surreal third period, with also eight assists and nine rebounds.

Thanks to this success, the Bucks record rises to six wins and nine losses. After losing the unbeaten streak to Boston, Cleveland returned to success: 128-100 over New Orleans. Excellent performance by Jerome (29 points). The record of the Cavs è the best in the NBA with 16 wins and only one loss (suffered, precisely, against the Celtics).

Most delicate moment for Philadelphia, which continues to sink. The 76ers also surrendered in Memphis (117-111 the final), collecting their 12th defeat of the season (only two wins). A strong showing by Embiid (35 points and 11 rebounds) wasn’t enough to bring a smile back to the interior of a team in total crisis.

As for the other games, OKC folds Portland (109-99) while Houston gets rid of Indiana (130-113) rather easily. New York wins the challenge with Phoenix (138-122) while Golden State prevails against Atlanta: 120-97 the final for the Warriors with 23 points by Curry.

Ferrari è currently second at -36 from McLaren

.

The Las Vegas GP takes the stage. A new opportunity, for Ferrari, to try to get even closer to McLaren, currently leader in the constructors’ standings with 593 points, 36 more than the Cavallino. The circuit would seem to favor the Rossa, although Sainz points out an important detail.

“Ferrari competitive? Looking at the track I would say sì, Ferrari should be competitive or at least should be able to fight but when we see that tire temperatures rise, then I would say no”, the clear words of Sainz reported by Marca.

The Cavallino driver knows that in order to take home the Constructors’ World Championship title, he needs “help” from McLaren: “I think we are close. But at the same time, we also need McLaren to make some mistakes, becauseé, if they don’t make any mistakes from here to the end, in case we have to win all the time and we and they come second in every race, I think McLaren will probably still be able to keep the title”.

Sainz, in addition to trying to win another GP before ending his adventure with the Cavallino, wants to try to help the team win the constructors world championship: “I would like to win the championship for Ferrari this year. And sì, I think it would be a great way to end the season”.
