He did not count on Radisevic, Christodoulou, James, Lountzis, Giannopoulos, Agravanis to return after their own adventure, but Prometheus was not ready on Wednesday night (11/11) to face the champion of his group in the EuroCup. He asked for a postponement, the Euroleague did not accept it, he finally went down with ten players (he used eight) and even so he was not only competitive, but also claimed victory until almost the last minutes of the match.

The Patras team was defeated in Tofalos by Trento (89-80), fell to 2-4 and left the Italians alone in first place with a 6-0 record. The Italians arrived in Greece with ten players, they did not use Luca Lechtaller, they lost Jacori Williams early and went to a rotation of eight players to get a great victory with character and good basketball.
Great game by Dimitris Agravanis who overcame the coronavirus, played 21 minutes, scored 22 points from 4/4 two points, 3/4 three points and 5/6 shots while Ian Miller (22 points but from 4/13 two points and 3 / 9 triples) and Mo Fage (8 points, 13 rebounds, 3 blocks) were his mainstays.

2. Cedevita 4-2
3. Gran Canaria 4-2
Four. Nanterre 2-4
5. Prometheus 2-4

The MVP
Victor Saunders was amazing, he finished the game with 22 points from 4/7 two points, 4/6 three points and 2/2 shots, he was the one who cleared in the fourth half with big shots, of course Gary Brown and Jeremy Morgan put the stones his. Saunders, however, was the leader of Trent.
THE WEAK LINK
Vangelis Mantzaris (6 points from 0/4 shots and 6/6 shots, 6 assists from 6 errors) and Danny Agbelese (7 points from 3/7 two points) share the specific title, of course in an eight-player rotation and against such a good opponent is very easy to seduce a player who organizes and one who is at the heart of the racket.
THE STATISTICS THAT stood out
Prometheus closed the first ten minutes with 5/17 shots, with Miller having just 1/6. At halftime Trento had made only three mistakes, at the end of the night he had six and that was an element that helped them win the game and go up to 6-0 which qualifies them for the next phase.
THE RACE
With Mantzoukas in their starting eleven, Prometheus didn’t have a good pace. However, he played an effective defense and with a free-kick from Agbelese – Miller scored 8-4 in the 5th minute, before Trento made his outburst and with a run of 0-9 in two minutes he led 8-13 . The hosts didn’t seem to have much energy and passion in their game, but five consecutive points from Mandzuka (three points from the right corner and an impressive layup) balanced the game and led to 17-17 in the first period.
Giatras made his first substitution in the 12th minute, when Agravanis replaced Agbelese and the second in the 14th minute when Giannopoulos replaced Mantzoukas, with Agravanis doing a great job with his stubbornness, scoring 12 points in six minutes and to keep Prometheus in vertical position. Towards the end of the second period the hosts seemed very tired, they made easy and consecutive mistakes, the guests took advantage of them and with easy baskets in the surprise they remained at 41-41 of the time.
A quick 0-11 from Trento early in the third period gave him a double-digit lead, with Agravanis firing big shots in succession, but Saunders hit him back again and again. The Italians kept Prometheus at arm’s length until the end of the quarter (59-69), but Giatra’s players counterattacked early in the quarter. They cut to one point (72-73), but Saunders, Morgan and Brown hit big baskets to beat the overall best in the game. And Trento was better this time.
