New Euroleague without our clubs: who will fight for the title? Who to follow? How to watch? - I Feel Devotion - Blogs
Guide to the new season.
A new Euroleague starts this week, even without Russian clubs, the most interesting basketball tournament on the planet is habitually: only here is there a reasonable balance between attack and defense, between three-pointers and fighting under the basket, between watchability and toughness, between show and compliance with the rules, between coaching ideas and individual brilliance of stars…
Let's remember who is who in European basketball.
Who will fight for the gold?
The participants of the Final Four are already obvious on paper - they are Real Madrid, Anadolu Efes, Milan and Barcelona.
All of them have been in the top in recent years and have become even better in the last off-season.
The main question for all four is how they will cope with the marathon distance, whether they will withstand the colossal pressure and whether they will maintain harmony within the team.
For Ephesus is primarily a problem with Will Clyburn's adaptation. The reigning champions had an unreal summer: they kept Mitsic-Larkin, who destroyed everything in a row defenses the last three seasons, and updated the front line (Zizic, Polonara, Clyburn). Although Mitsic and Larkin were somewhat lost at the EuroBasket, there is little doubt that the Turks will again do everything to ensure that Ergin Ataman has the opportunity for extravagant self-expression. The most American team in Europe is only as good as its talent allows, and there is plenty of talent here. The only thing that worries is how the American from CSKA will join here: Clyburn completely fell apart in last year's VTB playoffs and became the main reason why the army team missed the title, and before that it didn’t get along well with De Colo, Higgins and others.
Efes, even in the championship seasons, was a kind of lazy team, gathering only for a serious opponent, and this is also just the feature that has always distinguished Clyburn.
Real Madrid closed the roster problems, but still hear echoes of the Pablo Laso suspension scandal. His former assistant Chus Mateo has repeatedly confirmed that he can lead this team just as well - he took the title in Spain last year and defeated Barcelona in the new season. However, there is still a whole season ahead, and his tasks will be more difficult. First, Mario Hezona, a notorious sociopath who has traditionally disappeared when he is not treated as a top star, has arrived in Madrid. In Kazan, Perasovich managed to squeeze the maximum out of his compatriot, but, as the experience of the national team showed, this requires a non-standard approach. Secondly, Real Madrid is still waiting for Facundo Campazzo - the point guard will have to be inserted into an already existing and weaned team already in the midst of the action.
Thirdly, Real Madrid has always seemed unique in that the team essentially has two squads, but all the players agree to smaller roles, smaller minutes, to be part of the whole. Laso managed to maintain this internal balance for years. And this, perhaps, was his main advantage as a coach. Now let's see if Mateo can do the same.
Giorgio Armani forked out for the best line-up that Ettore Messina had in all his years in Milan – revived the Kaunas duo Pangos-Davis, moved Johannes Voigtmann and Billy Baron, added both quality and depth. Many took this as an indication that it was time for the coach not only to build the right atmosphere inside, but to justify the investment with serious results. Although, rather, this is just a sign of confidence: the coach has proven in recent seasons that spending invariably leads to upward movement, the invitation of Hines to getting into the Final Four, the contract with Nicolo Melli to gold in the Italian championship.
The line-up of the Milanese does not seem stronger on paper than the rest of the favorites, but it looks quite powerful and versatile in order for Messina to surprise everyone. There are enough questions here: Pangos missed a year, Davis got bored in Barcelona, Hines aged another season, the traumatism of the age structure has not gone away ... But you want to root for such a Milan as a real counterbalance to the moneybags.
The season hasn't really started yet, and Barcelona is already in a panic. They lost to Real Madrid once again, now in the Super Cup, Sarunas Jasikevicius burst out with another philippic, now not only to the players, but also to the organizers, Nikola Mirotic flew out indefinitely with Achilles, Corey Higgins is still injured, and a new backbone will need time to play... Barcelona have dominated the regular season in recent years, despite all the damage, but in the new assembly, the Lithuanian coach cannot even establish defense around Vesela, Sanla, Tobi.
There is no particular doubt that sooner or later Jasikevicius will correct everything. You just need to remember that this is a decisive season for him, the last season under the current contract. A promising start to a career led to a genre crisis last season, and now no one will be satisfied with any result other than the final victory. Jasikevicius drove Calathes out and builds an attack through Tomasz Satoranski, replaced Brandon Davis with a completely primitive Vesely, thought that Nikola Kalinich would strengthen the defense in the presence of Satoranski, Laprovittola, Mirotich, Toby ... So far, all this does not work. And the coach has lost any right to make a mistake, any sympathy or understanding over the years.
This will be an epic battle.
Whom should I personally monitor?
In terms of individual talent, Euroleague 23 is perhaps the deepest in recent years. On the one hand, we managed to keep almost all the star players of last season (with the exception of Milutinov and Shved).
On the other hand, the dynamics with the NBA this summer turned out to be neutral - Fontecchio and Dorsey left, but Nemanja Bielica, Kevin Pangos, Tomas Satoranski (and, apparently, Campazzo) returned.
The main characters are the same, but here is an extremely short list of those whose season excites regardless of the team.
Nando De Colo (Villeurbanne)
The 35-year-old Frenchman decided that in his old age he did not want to listen to the teachings of Dimitris Itoudis again, and did not come up with anything smarter than to move to Tony Parker's declining Villerbahn. Parker manages the economy smartly and economically, but this in itself does not serve as a magnet for the players - this summer, not only Vembanyama ran away from him, but also Okoro with Chris Jones. Villeurbanne has probably the weakest squad in the Euroleague (at least on paper) and De Colo is the only one giving them a "puncher's chance".
We've seen tiny signs in the past that De Colo is no longer the machine to churn out hyper-efficient stats, but the difference didn't seem big enough to go from a Final Four contender to a Villeurbanne.
So everyone is waiting for an extremely unusual experiment. De Colo even skipped EuroBasket for the sake of this.
Tornike Shengelia (Bologna)
Georgian forward moped Dimitris Itoudis in CSKA. There were enough reasons for this: the status of “one of”, and not the undisputed leader, and the system in which he was clearly cramped, and the lost long-range shot, and pressure at home, and God knows what else ...
Shengelia also missed the EuroBasket. And thus, he failed to rehabilitate himself as part of his most beloved team - the national one.
And now he's in for a full season under Sergio Scariolo at Bologna, where he's in near-optimal conditions - not only a lot of snipers and pass-oriented defenders, but freedom inside and complete confidence. Shengelia gets every opportunity to return as one of the stars of European basketball. Or at least enjoy the process.
Lorenzo Brown (Maccabi)
Over the past twelve months, Brown has trained everyone in the image of the European Chris Paul - a human-computer who always seems to be on top of the game: he watches, takes his time, controls everything, clearly distributes shots between partners, leads her to the desired result for his team.
It was all the more phenomenal that Lorenzo achieved such harmony at the age of 32. Before that, he was more like a typical American who quits first and thinks later.
But these 12 months Brown spent in two very specific teams - Perasovic's UNICS and Scariolo's Spain national team. Now he finds himself in the eternal chaos of Maccabi with Wade Baldwin, who considers everyone worse than himself, with an inexperienced coach who gives the players maximum freedom and does not fill their heads with any complex interactions, and with a completely unfamiliar team ...
Brown - the one who makes it all work. Otherwise, we will lose him as a particle of reason on the parquet.
Sasha Vezenkov (Olympiacos)
Last season Vezenkov broke the Greek league - he became the top scorer, took the MVP, helped to take all the trophies. At the same time, he entered the first symbolic team of the Euroleague and brought Olympiacos to the Final Four. It all naturally continued at EuroBasket, where he averaged 26.
8 points per game and single-handedly created the illusion that Bulgaria was not completely hopeless. There was even a question about a detour to Sacramento.
Olympiacos lost Tyler Dorsey this summer (he will be replaced by Isaiah Kanan). This makes us think that the Greeks will lose last year's positions.
However, at the same time, this can be seen as a chance for Vezenkov to open up further, turning into a key performer for Olympiacos. He has been touted for so many years for his promise and diverse talents, but only now is the Bulgarian striker beginning to stand out against the backdrop of Bartzokas' rigid structure with his mechanical distribution of minutes. His last year's recognition in the Euroleague is still largely due to team success, but this season Vezenkov is moving towards becoming a full-fledged star of the tournament.
Janan Musa (Real Madrid)
Musa has been associated with Russian basketball for a very long time. Here's why: young talent, generous advances, quick recognition, early departure to the NBA, a confident position on the bench in America, expulsion from the bottom of Detroit, signing with Anadolu Efes and an instant expulsion from there, a link to the Breogan .
.. We have seen this more than once, and the link to Brooklyn made us automatically associate Musa with Sergey Karasev.
It turned out to be a completely different story.
In one season, Mousa made himself a Breogán legend - he played some crazy matches, put the winning shot against Obradoiro, led the club to the Copa del Rey, became the top scorer of the Spanish championship and received the MVP title.
The only thing that bothers Musa is his inappropriate beard. But, apparently, he, still 23 years old, needs it in order to stop making discounts to himself - the Bosnian plays with amazing courage, willingly takes the initiative, does not hesitate to force attacks, destroys all past failures with the confidence of each step.
A year later, he is already at Real Madrid. And not just as young anymore. Rather, as a person who, with his appearance, should radically rejuvenate the team and solve all the problems of the age back line at once.
Tomas Satoranski - Jan Veselý (Barcelona)
Jasikevicius destroyed Barcelona for two years for lack of character and in the end came to the fact that everything rests on the main point guard's lack of a shot.
He agreed with Satoranski even before the end of the season, for some reason he saw in the Czech the one who would fix everything at once and correct the stray trajectory of his coaching career.
The idea behind all this is not entirely clear.
Satoranski in the NBA never became anything more than a substitute point guard for clubs that do not qualify for the playoffs. He throws better than Calathes (which is not so difficult), but not so good and stable that he can be trusted unconditionally. At the same time, it is obviously inferior to the Greek in other components: defense, reading the game, involving partners. Everything is in order with the character (just that the injury did not prevent Satoranski from performing at the EuroBasket and being useful), but the Czech definitely does not have the reputation of Kyle Hines - a man who can change the morale of the entire unit in one fell swoop.
Satoranski's only clear advantage is that he is paired with his friend Jan Vesely, who left Fenerbahce for the Czech holiday in Barcelona.
At the same time, the role of this duo is colossal, especially in the first half of the season, when Mirotic and Higgins are injured. Satoranski and Vesely must become the same core for Barcelona as they are for the Czech national team - to create the same resilience, resilience, resilience at a higher club level, next to more qualified partners. And all this already when their best years, as it seems, are behind them.
Kevin Pangos (Milan)
The Canadian has not played at a normal level for almost a year. And during this time, in the public mind, he turned into practically a magician, curing any ailments. CSKA fought for him for half a season, believing that Pangos would set up an attack and combine too many dissimilar elements. Milan is not that much more realistic: yes, there is no need to glue the incongruous and organize chaos, but Pangos is certainly seen in his Zenit version - perhaps the most unstoppable kid in Europe, having the effect of local Steve Nash on the attack.
This approach seems to be logical. Milan has all the conditions for this - both ways to diversify the game, and mobile combinations with Melly in the post position, and high-quality opening of the perimeter.
In general, the theoretical base is present.
However, in practice, we never saw Pangos as the leader of a team from the big four. He failed in Barcelona, and shone exclusively in Zalgiris and Zenit, where he had the right to completely usurp possessions.
So his year at Milan is only at first glance an ordinary and expected event. Pangos went to this, failed, walked again, ran away himself - and finally his debut in this capacity should take place. Let not in CSKA. But the coach of Messina.
Mike James (Monaco)
There are some citizens who cannot be placed in the frame of a collective. Even in a team game. Mike James manages to attract attention even in the summer - he also went into podcasters and called Steph Curry too predictable player.
James wrote the biggest story of last season. He arrived in Monaco just before the start. Lightly grappled with the coach. Soon he was convinced that the club had picked up another specialist. A little added at the end of the season. He waited for the disqualification of Russian clubs and led his team to the playoffs. After that, he independently created the best event of the year - a phenomenal series with Olympiacos, in which he enchanted, drew attention to himself, added exceptional brilliance when he dragged Durant to the stands, and eventually embarrassed himself in the decisive match.
You can treat James however you like, but his trip last year is something that will remain in your memory forever.
It's not about whether he wins or not, whether you like him or not, whether he is the strongest or not. James is someone who cannot be treated with indifference. He is real, for him basketball is not a job, not something he does for money. He likes to draw attention to himself, but not because of a desire to show off, but because he sees himself at the center of events, as a figure that defines European basketball, changes it, and challenges the elite.
Even if you don't watch the Euroleague for him, he will still make sure that your interest in the Euroleague is focused on him.
Nemanja Bielica (Fenerbahce)
The current NBA champion did not stay in San Francisco, although there were such options. After so many years across the ocean, Bielica is back where the Euroleague MVP once was. True, not to Obradovic, but to his student.
There are two interesting aspects of this return.
The first is Bielica's influence on the game. All this time he remained a reservist with limited functions. And three defenses in a game against Jason Tatum got him a lot of press. Europe will require fundamentally different productivity, performance and resilience to injury. Everything that we have not seen from a Serb for a long time.
The second is Bielica's almost forgotten versatility. In the NBA, he was limited to the role of a stretching fourth or fifth, although he is capable of much more, especially in terms of involving the rest.
Itoudis did not always work successfully with the "big ones", but people of such a warehouse as Bielica (for example, Voigtmann) showed the best basketball in their careers and opened up new areas in their game.
Bielica is one of the few factors that can shake our understanding of the balance of power in the Euroleague. But how important it will be in reality, it will only be possible to verify the case.
Who deserves attention?
The oddity of the new Euroleague is that the summer turned out to be very eventful for many. Habitual spenders took advantage of the wealth of the market created by the exclusion of Russian clubs and made their teams attractive, at least in a vacuum. Naturally, the feeling does not leave that for a number of them it was spending for the sake of spending, and yet it is impossible not to see how it all will work or limp on both legs.
First on this list - Fenerbahce Dimitris Itoudis . Still the most successful coach in the history of CSKA received a bunch of spit in the back, but in a new place he immediately collected a star clip with which he can compete for the next Final Four.
On paper, everything is about as the Greek likes: stretching “big” Bielitz and Booker, hyper-athletic Jekiri and Motley under the shields, creatives Wilbekin and Goodurich, multifunctional Pierre and Nick Calathes as the ideal conductor of coaching ideas. On paper, it looks like Fener will be a contender for the Euroleague's best offense, and the combination of Calathes and an athletic center should be the backbone of a more or less decent defense. There is only one fundamental difficulty here, but the most serious one: Itoudis assembled a completely new team in one summer, and he himself arrived only recently, as he worked with the Greek national team. If everything initially goes wrong, then it will be very interesting further: if we have learned something about Dimitris Itoudis, it is that the anti-crisis manager from him is like a sniper from Nick Calathes.
Naturally, Itoudis's match against Mike James will continue. Monaco turned out to be the main sensation of last year after the Russian clubs were excluded from the list of participants.
And in this it is quoted as high as possible thanks to the same point selection: in Europe there are not so many front lines that jump over Dontu Hall and John Brown, and not so many back lines that could surpass the James-Lloyd-Okobo trio in creativity. Monaco increased their budget by a third this summer to 20 million, but by European standards they are still perceived as average. It is unlikely, however, that someone can call the Royal Club an ordinary middle peasant, if the best defender of the Euroleague of the last season (Brown) and the best attacking player of the last season (James) are gathered here. Last season, Monaco's outbreak struck, this time it is already being anticipated.
Two legendary coaches return to the Euroleague this season: Zeljko Obradovic and Sergio Scariolo. Surprisingly, little is expected from both (the first with Partizan only loses, the second has not shone at the club level for a long time), despite the fact that both have enough ingredients at hand to create amazing recipes.
Partizan lacks depth, but has an athletic backbone built around Kevin Panter's goalscoring abilities: Exam-Papapetru/Nunnally-Lessort-Leday - stylistically not quite the lineup that Obradovic usually plays, but in theory he could be combat-ready. Scariolo has perhaps the most dangerous player in the position of Tornike Shengelia plus the stretching "big" Jordan Mickey, as well as the most diverse Euroleague back line (Milos Teodosic, Daniel Hackett, Marco Belinelli, Gabriel Lundberg, Alessandro Payola, Niko Mannion) . Signature zone defense that hides endless holes and peremptory positional attack are the things with which Scariolo can open the door to the Euroleague with his feet. Lineups Partizan and Bologna are behind the top five, but the performance of their teams will largely depend on the form both coaches are in.
And finally Maccabi . In Tel Aviv, they seem to have done everything they usually do - they disbanded the old team, increased the budget by 40 percent, and bought themselves a new one.
Name sheet inspires: Lorenzo Brown dragged UNICS into the playoffs and made Spain champion, Darran Hilliard and Wade Baldwin (in different seasons) dragged Bayern into the playoffs and put up a fight in knockout matches, Poythress and Neebo are agile athletic centers that will insure anyone ... Only 10 people. And even it seems that not someone is responsible for these purchases, but David Blatt himself, who acts as a consultant in his native club. However, Oded Kattash will have to build a team from scratch and, by some magic, combine comrades who require a special approach and which until then were revealed only by the brilliant Trinchieri, Perasovich and Pascual. All introductory for the disaster, but suddenly there will be an insight.
The Euroleague won't be a Euroleague if one of them doesn't make analysts blush because their forecasts are wrong.
Where to look?
Legally in Russia - nowhere. Euroleague matches will most likely be available either on bookmakers' websites or in pirate groups on VKontakte.
If you have a non-Russian bank card, then you can follow all the games on the Euroleague service euroleague.tv (works without VPN).

Basketball. Men. Euroleague - 2021/22. In the final - Anadolu Efes and Real Madrid
The Final Four of the Euroleague Basketball in Belgrade began with two incredible semi-finals, the outcome of which was decided in the last seconds
(Photo © 2013 Euroleague Basketball)
The fate of both semi-finals , which took place as part of the "Final Four" of the men's basketball Euroleague-2021/22 , which started on May 19 in Belgrade, remained unknown until the very final siren.
But in the end, the Turkish "Anadolu Efes" managed to defeat the Greek "Olympiakos" - 77:74, and in the Spanish derby "Real" was slightly stronger than "Barcelona" - 86:83.
In the match between Anadolu Efes and Olympiacos, the Greek club initially seized the initiative, already in the debut of the match, leading by 7 points (12:5), and then maintaining this advantage almost until the very end of the second quarter. However, the Turkish team still eliminated their backlog by the break, and in the second half of the match the struggle went almost point for point. Anadolu Efes snipers Vasily Mitsich and Shane Larkin scored 23 attempts to hit the ring from a long distance for two in this match. They did it with varying success - with a percentage of hits of about 30. However, in the last attack, which Anadolu Efes launched with a draw score of 74:74, the right of the decisive throw was still entrusted to Mitsic, the best sniper of the current Euroleague draw.
And it was at this moment that the ball, after another three-point shot by the Serb, fell into the ring almost simultaneously with the final siren. The current owner of the trophy - "Anadolu Efes" - will again play in the main final of the Euroleague!
The most productive player in the second semi-final between Real Madrid and Barcelona was the forward of the Catalan club Nikola Mirotić , who scored 26 points and converted, including four of his seven long-range shots. However, his efforts were not enough for Barcelona to organize a repeat of last year's Euroleague final, in which Sarunas Jasikevicius' team played against Anadolu Efes.
This time in the semi-final match against Real Madrid, Barcelona also had the initiative for a long time, and their advantage reached 13 points - 47:34 after an accurate throw Sertacha Shanly in the 22nd minute of the match. At this dangerous moment of the match, Real Madrid organized a chase, and already seven minutes after the exact 3-pointer by Sergio Llula, even took the lead - 58:56.
For almost the entire final quarter, it was the Royal Club that was already leading in the score, but in the end, this meeting also came to a nervous ending. 7 seconds before the end of the fourth period, the Australian point guard of "Barcelona" Dante Exam once again reduced the backlog of his team to a minimum (83:84). The Catalans quickly fouled, and the same Sergio Llull converted only the first of two free throws. And it was at this moment that the rebound won on someone else's shield by a Real Madrid player by Gershon Yabusele became the key episode of the match, depriving Barcelona of the chances for the last attack.
Thus, on May 21, Anadolu Efes and Real Madrid will meet in the Euroleague final. Recall that the Turkish team won this tournament last year, and Real Madrid last won the main trophy of the Old World in 2018, and it was in that year that the Final Four was also held in Belgrade. So, before the Euroleague 2021/22 playoff, both teams definitely have a reason to tune in, refreshing their memory of their recent recent victories.
