Postponed game for the 5th game with Efes hosting Villeurbanne.
Another home defeat for Efes and this time the culprit is the very good Basconia this year. He fought the match for about a half but then had no way to react to the pressure of the guest. Larkin on a bad day with only 8 points (2/11 shots) like the whole team since no one was in double digits in the match. Towards the end, Ataman even threw a white towel as in the last 4-5 minutes he was playing with the substitutes. Plais is the only absentee due to a crown.
On the other Villeurbanne is on a great moon has achieved 2 wins in the last 3. In the most recent one, they lost 91-84 to Real in Spain, but it was difficult to put Lasso in the team as Real lost for most of the match. Its great strength is the accuracy in the three-pointer as well as in 3 last has the amazing 61.2% and this gets more value if one thinks that in these matches shot 67 times and in fact by 7 players. The way the team plays seems to have gained confidence and now plays much freer basketball. The only absentee again is Stranzel who does not have much participation.
In summary, I do not know in what condition Ephesus will find itself as it is completely unpredictable but Villeurbanne is able to score the 77 points that are required especially in a team that is not famous for its defensive skills and in the home so far receives 78.6 points per average.
The point I choose is ... Villeurbanne (Over 76.5 pts) in performance 2.20 in Betshop.
