Absences h Khimki, but also absences and Panathinaikos...
Yes, the Russian team played without them Svend, Vialchev, Price and Booker, but on the other hand the “greens” had not learned to play at the same time without them Papapetrou and Papagianni. And that; There were Dinosaurs Mitoglou as the … third bodyguard of the “clover” who steps forward and takes matters into his own hands.
With 29 points (10/14 two points, 9/9 shots) and 12 rebounds, having a staggering 42 points in the PIR, he made … a racket and a feather for his racket Khimki for his seventh victory Panathinaikos in the Euroleague this year. From … near and Nemanja Nedovic, who added another 21 points and 5 assists.
The final 94-78 and the 16-point difference could have been much greater, as the scoring index had reached +20 in the 3rd period of the match. In fact, the “greens” managed to “unload” 20 offensive rebounds, which is the second best performance in their history in the top European interclub competition. .
The match
THE Panathinaikos wanted to take advantage of his absences from the start of the game Khimki and the lack of many solutions. Initially he was ahead at 7-2, but some consecutive errors led to the individual 11-3 of the Russian team to 10-13, which became 12-15 a minute later. THE Κάτας He began to shuffle the deck trying to find the correct form, especially near the basket where the solutions of the home team were more than limited.
And he did it as offensive rebounds Mitoglou, Bentley, August helped the “greens” to respond with their own 11-2 (!) for 23-17 just before the end of the ten minutes (23-20). A space where the Panathinaikos he had 5/11 two points, 3/7 three points, he had +3 rebounds (11-8) but also limited creation with only 3 assists. At the same time Khimki He had “executed” only a triple in the tenth minute and three in total in the first half (0/3).
And in fact the team is the second in Euroleague with the most 3-point attempts with 27.3 on average. In the second ten minutes the Russian team went ahead with 25-26 but there was no continuation. With a lasting counterattack and a good “read” of the game, or Panathinaikos He went ahead for the first time with +11 points (44-33) while he closed the first part of the match with a difference of 13 points (46-33). At halftime, the “greens” had 11/22 triples, 5/15 triples and 12 offensive rebounds, which was the “key” of the game. THE Mitoglou broke (16 points, 8 rebounds) while I put my hand Nedovic (11p., 2 / 6tr.) For the +13 half.
From the moment the water definitively entered the ditch, the Panathinaikos He took the situation completely in his own hands and essentially turned the second half into … a formal process. THE Nedovic increased his performance even more (ss is characteristic that he targeted the first in a child in the middle of the second period) Mitoglou He continued at the same pace and the difference reached +20 (62-42) in 25 ‘, throwing away the titles at the end of the match.
THE Khimki the only thing he achieved in the last period was not … letting himself go and taking advantage of the expected, perhaps, relaxation of the hosts. THE Jordan Mickey was the one who tried the most for his team’s attack with 25 points and 7 rebounds, while McCollum added another 17 points.
WON WHY: Panathinaikos dominated in rebounds with 36 against 23, of which 20 were attack! In addition, he gave the ball close to the basket and thanks to Mitoglou he managed to open the difference having good percentages in shots inside the child (20/36 two points, 10/27 three points).
MADE A DIFFERENCE: Dinos Mitoglou was “all the money” for Panathinaikos with 29 points with 10/14 two points, 9/9 shots, 12 rebounds, 2 assists and only 1 error in 28:47 accumulating 42 points in the PIR.
INVISIBLE HEROES: Nemanja Nedovic ideally completed Mitoglou with 21 points with 4/6 two points, 3/10 three points, 4/5 shots, 5 assists, 2 rebounds, 1 steal and 3 errors.
MAIN POINT: The second ten minutes and the fact that Panathinaikos conceded only 13 points, leading by +13 points difference (46-33).
HAPPENED AND DIDN’T TOUCH: With the exception of Mickey, McCollum all the other Khimki players.
THE MATCH PHASE: Eric McCollum’s incredible basket in the second ten minutes of the game, when he found the ball in his hands behind the backboard as the “24ari” of the attack ended and impeccably sent it to Panathinaikos basket. Maybe it’s the racing basket!
WHAT THEY LAUNCHED: Panathinaikos committed 15 errors while Khimki gave 20 new attacks to the “greens”.
The ten minutes: 23-20, 46-33, 70-51, 94-78
