Milan, May 24, 2021 – TheArmani AX Milano does not discount theUmana Reyer Venice and also takes game 2 of the championship semifinals overwhelming with a peremptory 99-65 training in the lagoon and approaching the Euroleague Final Four in the best possible way, scheduled for Friday in Cologne. The script of this game 2 was completely different from that of the first act of the series, because this time Milan immediately took over the reins of the match by placing a partial deadly of 21-0 between the first and second quarters and never turning back. The defense of the red and white who consequently found confidence even in the offensive phase (58.5% from two and 44% from three), where the difference was made by Malcolm Delaney (20 points, all scored in the first half of the match) e Sergio Rodriguez who finished with 14 points and 7 assists in just 15 ‘played.

The breaking latest news
After a somewhat cold start, Milan closed the ranks in defense by closing the pass lines of the Venetian attack (six turnovers for Reyer in the opening quarter) and protecting the perimeter. The offensive phase obviously benefited from this impeccable defensive attitude, starting a 19-0 run (23-7 at 10 ‘) fueled by the baskets of a wild Delaney (12 points in the first 10’) and even became 21-0 at the dawn of the second quarter. Venice, though struggling terribly to find the target from the bow (1/14 from three starting) tried to respond with a 7-0 that brought her back to -16 (34-18), but she still failed to scratch the certainties of Milan and its drivers Rodriguez and DeLaney. The red and white, in fact, soon climbed back to the twenty lengths of advantage by returning to the locker room for the long break at 54-29. A margin of ample safety that did not, however, pull the plug on Olimpia who, even in the second half, did not give up an inch, continuing to run the taximeter of the advantage up to +34 final.
