A pavilion made exclusively for the sport of basketball, in the country par excellence of basketball. The religion of a nation. And the best four of the regular season arrives. In other words, the perfect highlight of this 2022-2023 campaign. How difficult it is to predict what may happen. Let’s go to the part that touches the fiber the least.

Monaco

James, superlative

The Monegasques, backed by a Ukrainian investment group (what a story) were previous winners of this Euroleague, with the support of great mike james, a superlative, visceral player, capable of everything in a thousandth of a second, with an advantage of one centimeter. He is a beacon. But not forgetting that even during the season, his coach Saša Obradovićhe had to give him a few red cards — separate him from the team — so that the water would go down the drain.

Saša is much more controlled than the previous days in Germany or Russia. His classic acting skills have given way to a less fiery coach who always offers interesting tactical aspects.

Olympiakos

The desire for revenge

AS Monaco vs. Olympiakos. A regular league winner, with a couple of such players Sasha Vezenkov and Kostas Sloukas top value. First, recalling his time in Barcelona, ​​he still sees the hoop as a pot. That’s how he did it with his Bulgaria in that European division B for Europe that was in front of him as a youngster.

And the Hellenic Guardian, Sloukas, who is the rightful successor to someone as great as Spanioluis. Another piece of information, to make things more interesting, Monaco is the only team that managed to beat the Greeks twice throughout the year.

Barcelona

Good moment

Barcelona and Madrid. Madrid and Barcelona. Two aspects. He Saras’ frame arrives at a very high moment of the game, concentration, physical feeling of power and with the Lithuanian coach more focused than on previous occasions. Without a doubt, we all know who will have more support in the stands.

The Catalans, like the four teams competing in Kaunas, have a great team, but Nikola Mirotic and loose verse from Nikola Laprovitola they are your most reliable weapon right now.

REAL MADRID

Once more

Never has such a large pifhostio brought so much income. He was one Madrid against the ropes in his second match for Partizan. Until it was mounted. And everything turned in the other direction. The team suffered Chus Mateo since preseason with the whole Lasso theme. It’s endless. But here he is, again in the semi-finals of the Euroleague.

Last year they lost to Barcelona, ​​and this season the balance in the regular part was tied (Blaugrana’s pyrrhic victory, the Whites’ agony in extra time). Is he Spanish derby par excellencebut also far from the borders.

Listening to those matches in other places makes it clear to you what these two locomotives of our sport mean in Europe. The duel will have many nuances. The best weekend of world basketball is coming. There is no doubt. Let’s enjoy it.
