The second round starts with the Olympiacos touring where last year he picked up Euroleague and faced Fenerbahce in the crowded Ullker Arena.
As well as Fenerbahce's start in the first phase of the group making a big run and being unbeaten for the longest period of the races, it started so badly at the 2 stage. The defeats in the first 3 fights began and the murmurs slowly but no one expected from the very first year Obradovic to lead to the conquest of Euroleague, but classically the nagging is nagging. After the 3 defeat, however, he eventually met and won Panathinaikos initially within 77-72, then defeated by Armani Milan in Italy, followed by 2 victories either against Efes and the other against Caha Lamboral.
Fener strengthened the team, although Obradovic did not make frequent transfers in the middle of the year, but some injuries and something that forced them to go on with Pierre Jackson to tell the truth I do not know the gentleman.
Fener is in the 5 position with 3 wins and 4 defeats. In the first match in Athens he was defeated with 95-82.
Olympiacos is now a bit better than Fener, although it has been knocked for years, but this year Euroleague has a staggering performance. In OAKA, even with foreign referees, he could not win Panathinaikos in a game that was better than marginal yet again. And as I wrote in the forum, Olympiacos is like Federer facing Nadal. Can the Swiss tennis player be undefeated for a long time, but when he sees Nadal there is neither undefeated nor nothing, so the Olympiacos undefeated is very good but in OAKA to Panathinaikos he will eat it like that lost 66-62.
Olympiacos with 4 wins and 3 defeats is in the 4 position.
I read that Spanoulis had an injury problem but would normally fight. He returns after 1 time and Serdantini where he was injured.
Fenerbahce's announcement was released for fans, where the pitch will be packed tonight, and after the developments in the football club where the 1 slogan team was penalized behind closed doors and because it has become entangled in sports policy, the club has called for the club from the fans to be careful do not come and some punishment in basketball.
Olympiacos is more tied to Fenerbahce and hardly showing character, on the other hand Obradovic is trying to put the ball into the group and the system he had for years in Panathinaikos. If his players are on a good day they even win Barcelona as they did in the first round. Tonight with his world on the side I think Fener will impose the pressure he wants and leave with the victory. Fener, therefore, with a -2.5 disadvantage
