20.37: It is a Milan that has found Shavon Shields in the last few games, who was the top scorer in the last match against Bayern Munich, played only 48 hours ago.
20.32: There is only one precedent between Olympia and Monaco and it is the one that dates back to the first leg match, won by Milan 71-65 with 13 points by Sergio Rodriguez.
20.29: It is definitely the evening of Mike James, the great ex of the match. The American played in Milan for a year in the 2018/19 season, winning the Euroleague top scorers.
20.27: Monaco have won 11 out of 14 matches starting from January, overturning the standings coinciding with the arrival of the new coach Sasa Obradovic.
20.24: The words of Ettore Messina “This is a tough match, against an opponent who is doing very well, extremely athletic, with top-level scorers in all perimeter roles and Mike James who of course can change any game on his own. Consequently the defensive aspect and the control of the rebounds will once more be fundamental. We will have to restart from the intensity shown in the second half of the victory over Bayern ”.
20.22: Monaco is in great shape and comes from three consecutive victories. The French are very close to qualifying for the playoffs, but they need a win to avoid closing round of 16 and meeting Barcelona, who have already mortgaged their success in the regular season.
20.20: Milan will not have its captain, given that Nicolò Melli will be absent due to gastroenteritis.
20.18: The ranking sees Real and Milan with a record of 18-8 (with 2 games still to be played including tonight’s), while Olympiacos are 18-9 (only one match to be played, tomorrow night at home against Barcelona).
20.17: It is a very important match for Milan, which in case of victory would approach third place and could also attack the second of a Real engaged in these minutes in OAKA against Panathinaikos.
8.15pm: Good evening let’s start the live Olympia Milano-Monaco.
The presentation of the Olympia-Monaco match
Good evening, and welcome to LIVE LIVE of Olimpia Milano-Monaco, match valid for the thirty-third day of the Euroleague. The Messina team is looking for the third consecutive victory after the one against Efes and Bayern Munich.
Milan has already obtained the certainty of having the home factor in the playoffs, but aims to obtain the best possible position at the end of the Regular Season. Olimpia is currently in third place, but can still close in second place, having the same record as Real Madrid (18-8). Milan still has to pay attention to Olympiacos (18-9), but the Greeks still have only one game to play.
A challenge, therefore, between Olympia and Monaco that could also be repeated in a few weeks, given that the French occupy seventh place and are very close to having the certainty of qualifying for the playoffs. It will also be the great evening of Mike James, the long-awaited ex who returns to the Forum after the Milanese seasons.
The duo’s ball Olympia Milan-Monacoa match valid for the thirty-third day of the Euroleague, is scheduled at 20.45. Have fun with OA Sport LIVE LIVE!
