October 15, 2015, Thursday. 20:00 GMT. Moscow, Russia). USC CSKA them. A.Ya.Gomelskogo. 4811 spectators.
Start CSKA Moscow in the main round of the Euroleague has turned out surprisingly bright, if we recall that on the eve of “CSKA” lost a good half of the front line players, and resisted the Russian basketball grandee not kakoy- something inconspicuous newcomer, and the formidable “Maccabi” in the offseason renewing two-thirds of the composition and has done a tremendous job for part of the strengthening of the bench.
However, if the fans squads Dimitrios Itoudis and had to worry about the outcome of the match, not more than one quarter – almost Muscovites increased pressure on the opponent, build Guy Gudesa have collapsed like a house of cards, to the delight of the stands filled to capacity USH CSKA. Among the guests of honor, which habitually were many, stood out in the first head coach of the football team of Russia Leonid Slutsky : he and a standing ovation from the fans was awarded, and in communion never refused.
Stop Jordan!
In the debut segment renovated “Maccabi” look, I must say, very adequately. To postpone plans to conquer the third NBA title for an indefinite period Jordan Farmar did not fail to demonstrate that the replacement of Jeremy Pargo Israelis guessed at 100% and led the partners for a so inspired that in less than six minutes, “CSKA” missed 16 points – obscenely large figure for the team, famous for the ability to bind any opponent on the hands and feet.
stands out, however, not only ex-player, “Lakers” and “Clippers “: using huge height advantage, Vitor Faverani versed with Kyle Hines « as is “barely got the ball in the enemy’s three-second zone (zone defense Itoudis worked is not the best way and a Greek expert very quickly to give it up) and Trevor Mbakve and Arinze Onuaku , which Gudes united on the principle of “two towers” desperately fought for a rebound on another board, scratched and five rebounds in the attack had the first break – despite the fact that for the whole match they scored only eight.
Small part, big problems
own advantage in the long run, even if the minimum Guests do not have to. The emergence of the “Maccabi” gaming problems coincided with the appearance on the floor of 18-year-old supertalant Dragan Bender , which is clearly not enough experience of playing at such a high level, but the blame for the failure of the young Croatian is not necessary. Firstly, because the first attempt was not included in the game, even the best sniper of the last Euroleague Taylor rochestie (ex-player “Nizhny Novgorod” zeroed only after a long break when the intrigue of the match kicked the bucket) , and “CSKA”, to understand what was happening, began to act in the defense much more aggressive, alternating magnificent action in the destruction of a lightning attack. Spurt 14: 4 which has turned everything upside down, did not wait.
It has been made possible thanks to the percussion trio Jackson – Teodosic – de Colo : not becoming to reinvent the wheel, Itoudis freed the hands of the leaders back line and concurrently the main stars of the team, and before the “big”, whether it is Demetris Nichols , Andrew Vorontsevich or mentioned above Hines, set the task to withdraw their counterparts from the three-second zone, Defenders of freeing space for maneuver. Those were the passages in the dagger, taking advantage of the speed, tied up the safety net and pass the ball on the perimeter, which has always kept watch sniper, while being in splendid isolation. Joke, out of 44 points in the first half CSKA scored 30 Serb, American and French.
At full speed – a concrete wall
felt that the ground is slipping from the “Maccabi” from -under feet Gudes “burned” one available to him timeouts around the equator fateful leap CSKA, but the minute suggestion of coach visitors did not help, as it followed soon after the break. It seems to be to patch up holes in the defense, the expert was faced with a fundamentally different problem to solve it and could not – told off in a fight between two pivot without medium (not to mention the far!) Throw, it deals a fatal blow to effectiveness of team play in the attack.
To save the Israelites might have taken Devin Smith , but all his efforts were divided on the redoubts, lined Itoudis taking into account the strengths of svingmena. Americans are not allowed without resistance to attack from behind the arc, and any attempt to go to his passage nipped fear of “great”, in which one of the best players in the Euroleague last season, rested sample if in a concrete wall, making one loss after another. His first points of the game in the second quarter of the visitors scored after six and a half minutes after the start, that the hideous realization of penalty (44%) was the verdict.
Time to experiment
Series Farmara hits and rochestie from distance shortly after the start of the second half was not enough to return to the game – in the middle of the third quarter of CSKA, taking advantage of the fact that the opponent completely lost faith in their own abilities and no longer laid out in the defense, led for the first time “20″, and a spectacular “bazzer-beater» Vitaly Fridzon finally calmed even the “bench”, “Maccabi”.
In the final segment from Itoudis there was a great opportunity to experiment with compositions and mentor Muscovites did not fail to use it, he gave the play Vyacheslav Kravtsov , previously appeared on the floor only occasionally, and almost all of the Russian part of the roster, including Paul Korobkova to Dmitry Kulagin . And the reservists do not just brought the fight to a legitimate victory: they possibly delighted the audience with bright moments (which is just spectacular dunk Nichols fast break!), And do not deny yourself the pleasure to knock a hundred. That honor fell Fridzon, pointed out yesterday his 30th birthday. The holiday was a success.
