MADRID, 19 May. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Anadolu Efes will defend its title in the final of the Euroleague in Belgrade thanks to a basket on the buzzer by Micic, who knocked down Olympiacos (74-77) in the first semifinal of the ‘Final Four’.
Ergin Ataman, coach of the Turks, was clear on the last possession with 74-77: “Six seconds, Micic.” The Serb didn’t really let go of the ball and, in the countdown, from the line of three, with a step back to avoid the wall, he won the game.
The Turkish team, defending champion, will play its third consecutive final on Saturday against the winner of the second semi-final, which is followed by Real Madrid and Barça at the Stark Arena.
