Bologna –
The last regular season game gives Segafredo the trip to Bourg, a town in the Alvernia-Rodano facing the Alps, that will dissolve the last doubts on the decisive playoff grid. They’ll find an adversary back from the recent blitz in Podgorica but out of the games, soft especially in the area, last in offensive rebounds (7,4), penultimate in defensive ones (21,3) and total (28,7).
The fixed protagonist is the athletic Maxime Roos, one of the few who didn’t raise the white flag in the unlucky French Eurocup, with performances topped by 14 caroms often useful to wash many sins of others, joining anyway the hard work of Pierre Pelos (11,3 points and 4,0 rebounds) a 205 cm with conclusions divided almost equally between perimeter and small court: 60,4% from two, 49% from three, distance in which the troop of coach Laurent Legname remains curiously the best of the entire competition (43,3%). The smooth perimeter becomes for Bourg a bullfight that bites for its best shooters: Axel Julien, C.J. Harris and Maxime Courby with his unreal 64% from long distance. It remains weak instead the defense on the conclusions from the distance where Bourg, in undergoing the bullfight and the lottery of the heavy shots, concedes an unedifying 45,0%, often challenged to the draw by the impudent adversary, that when accepts the bet almost always wins it.
