ROME (August 12) - The direct qualification all'Eurobasket 2011 in the Land of Lithuania is becoming a mirage for Italy's Simone Pianigiani. The explosive talent of Nikola Pekovic (28 points, 11/15 da2), driver of the young and ambitious national Montenegro, imposes all'Italbasket a third defeat in four games. The center of Montenegro, fresh from landing the NBA ($ 13 million contract with Minnesota) and led by coach Dusko Vujosevic sailed that has weaned at Partizan Belgrade, is a mountain of muscle and Andrea Bargnani as insurmountable. In hot and enthusiastic gym Bijelo Polje Italy compared to the previous two missteps, especially the Latvia with the weak, is always with his head on the game before succumbing in the decisive sprint.
chances of qualifying. Now Italy will observe a turn off to go back on the floor in the Aug. 17 trip to Israel, which will decide the fate to the Europeans. To have any chance of second place will need to win by 9 points in Tel Aviv (first leg 71-79). To qualify are the best teams in each group, the two best runners-up and one of the six best non-scheduled next summer to compete in the additional round hit the last spot available. The group A is driven with maximum points from Montenegro (6 points), followed by Israel (4 points) and close Paired with just one win Italy, Latvia and Finland. The Finns have the tripping of the Israelis yesterday (84-83) have reopened a po'i games. Without the thud of Latvia, 69-68, the Blues are still in full swing.
time of final budgets so it's premature, but you can get some facts. The quake Pianigiani has not resolved, as some thought, or hoped, by now long-standing problems of the utmost expression of motion in basketball. From the fantastic ride the Olympic silver in Athens 2004, the Italian national team and the former European bronze in 2003 in Sweden no longer has collected the results and did not even sown for the future. We hung out by the elite of European basketball and the world. La strada per rientrarci assomiglia a quella del Mont Ventoux, terribile salita del Tour de France. C'è stato un vuoto generazionale, di leader e giocatori con estro come Myers-Basile-Fucka etc non ne produciamo più, che l'approdo degli italiani in Nba non ha colmato. Forse la notizia migliore di questa estate è proprio la crescita per qualità e quantità della presenza di Bargnani all'interno del gruppo. Questa nazionale è debole sotto canestro, non ha una regia sicura, tolti Bargnani e Belinelli l'unico terminale offensivo con qualche affidabilità è Mancinelli. Fa riflettere che in cabina di regia, complice l'assenza per infortunio di Giachetti, l'incostanza di Vitali e l'esclusione per scelta tecnica di Poeta, ci si debba affidare al "nuovo" italiano Anthony Maestranzi (playmaker oriundo in forza alla Sutor) all'esordio nel gruppo azzurro. Dei rappresentanti della Lottomatica Roma fino a oggi il solo Angelo Gigli ha avuto un ruolo di primo piano: il pivot Crosariol ha confermato l'insostenibile leggerezza, Datome è finito in tribuna nelle ultime due uscite, Giachetti è rientrato con il Montenegro dopo 20 giorni di stop per problemi muscolari.
Al nuovo corso di Simone Pianigiani i vertici della Federbasket e dello sport italiano hanno chiesto una rapida inversione di tendenza nei risultati e la creazione di un gruppo che nel medio termine possa tornare protagonista. Il primo obiettivo sembra sfumare. Addossare le responsabilità Montepaschi Siena at the technical pluric
ampione of Italy and to imagine other scenarios on the bench would be shortsighted and unnecessary. We need to work hard with the human material available, wait for the return of blue Gallinari (our best talent), investing on real farms and dismantling illusions about the real substance of the selection can not snub any opponent. It will also reflect on the television coverage. Italians can not be present, less than rely on adventurous search for streaming on the web, the match away not covered by RAI for the cost of the purchase of television rights.
numbers . Of the 15 selections in the three groups involved the Italian attack is the fourth from last with just 70.8 points per game scored, while the sixth best defense with 73 conceded. One of the Achilles heels dell'Italbasket the shot from long range, we are the last of the lot with a paltry 25% from the field. It should not be a better rebounding: fourth last. Happy note is the control of turnovers. The attack is based on the axis blue Bargnani-Belinelli. The Roman invoice 19.8 points and 6 rebounds on average, 26% DA3. The Bologna just arrived from Toronto Raptors at New Orleans travels to 15.5 points, but pulls with 17% DA3 and is the seventh player in the tournament with six shots attempted triple in the evening. But do not fall on the floor numbers and Italbasket will have to put those ingredients that do not appear on the statistics: pride, determination and will to win.
