20:25 This is an early final between the two battleships of our Championship. Last year it was the V-blacks who raised the trophy, beating their bitter rivals in the final act of the Unipol Arena in Casalecchio di Reno. Red Shoes however, they made up for it and also with the interests, winning first the Italian Cup (on Tortona) and then the Scudetto, removing it from the bosom of the Bolognese. Who will prevail tonight will face Dinamo Sassari in the final tomorrow night, with the Sardinians who beat Bertram Tortona 83-84.
20:15 Good evening to everyone, friends of OA Sport! Welcome to the LIVE LIVE of Olimpia Milano-Virtus Bologna, semifinal of the Italian Super Cup 2022 in basketball!
LIVE LIVE IN TORTONA-BRESCIA, ITALIAN SUPERCUP BASKETBALL SEMIFINAL
The match schedule
Good morning to all readers of OA Sport! Welcome to the LIVE LIVE of Olimpia Milano-Virtus Bologna, semifinal of the Italian Super Cup 2022 in basketball!
The two battleships find themselves in the semifinals in the umpteenth challenge between the reigning Italian champions and the vice-champions, who saw the Scudetto slip from their chest by the Milanese. Olimpia and Virtus have already faced each other in the Supercup in the final act of the last edition, where the trophy was raised by the V-black of the then neo-coach Sergio Scariolo. But now we start from scratch, with several new faces both on one side and the other.
The Milanese greeted Sergio Rodriguez, Malcolm Delaney and Kaleb Tarczewski, but they have brought to the shadow of the Madonnina already decisive players in Serie A like Stefano Tonut (from Reyer Venezia) and Nazareth Mitrou-Long (from Germani Brescia). Ettore Messina also wanted to raise the technical rate to attempt the climb to the Euroleague, bringing to Olimpia names of the caliber of Brandon Davies (from Barcelona, formerly Varese), the guard Billy Baron (from Zenit St. Petersburg – Russia) and the Canadian play Kevin Pangos from CSKA Moscow.
Virtus Bologna also operated actively in the summer market: they have not renewed Amar Alibegovic and Kevin Hervey, but at the same time the Juventus management has signed two players with experience in the NBA as the Danish Gabriel Lundberg (from Phoenix Suns) and Semi Ojeleye (from Los Angeles Clippers) together with American Jordan Mickey from Zenit St. Petersburg (Russia). Out for this challenge several important pawns like Tornike Shengelia (freshly renovated), Daniel Hackett, Milos Teodosic and ‘Mam’ Jaiteh: However, the Bolognese roster is deep, so Sergio Scariolo knows that he can count on several changes on the bench to replace players who will certainly return in the coming weeks.
Start of the match scheduled at the PalaLeonessa in Brescia at 8.45pm. Have fun everyone with the LIVE LIVE of Olimpia Milano-Virtus Bologna!
