Ergin Ataman’s students in the first match on their field 90:63 (20:18, 24:22, 20:10, 26:13) beat Real Madrid and went 1-0 ahead in a series of up to three wins.
The second meeting will take place on Thursday in Istanbul.
At the end of the fourth quarter, Vasilije Micičius faced an opponent and hit his leg. The Serb lay on the floor for a while and then got up easily.
For the remaining six minutes of the match, Micičius watched from the substitute bench.
“I feel good,” said the defender on the Euroleague broadcast after the match. – The collision occurred completely unintentionally. Hope all is well. “
For the former Žalgiris, the start of the playoffs was terrible: in 23 minutes of play, he hit only 1 of 9, made 4 of 4 penalties and scored 7 points, in addition to 5 assists.
“It just came to our notice then. I’d say I played solid together, but I just missed the shots, which is part of basketball, Micičius continued.” Many played on our team today, especially Rodrigue Beaubois, who turned out wonderfully.
Beaubois scored 19 points in 23 minutes, hit 5 of 8 two-point shots, 3 of 6 three-point shots, and was the most productive among the winners.
Anadolu Efes led by just 4 points after the first half of the match (44:40), but everything turned upside down in the second half of the match. The Turks won the 14 minute section including 36:14 and dominated the field – 80:54.
“But so far it is only 1-0,” commented Micičius. – It doesn’t matter, you won by one or 20 points. The victory is exactly the same. Now we have to forget about this game and prepare for the next one ”.
The most useful player on the Turkish team was Sertan Sanli, who scored 16 points (3/6 doubles, 2/4 trit., 4/4 penalties) in 20 minutes, bounced 8 balls and recorded 19 utility points.
Anadolu Efes: Rodrigue Beaubois 19, Sertac Sanli 16 (8th ed.), Shane Larkin 14 (3/10 trit.), Bryant Dunston 11, Krunoslav Simon 10 (2nd ed., 4th ed.).
„Real“: Trey Thompkinsas 13, Walteris Tavaresas 10 (9 atk. Kam.), Nicolas Laprovittola 9.
