Le premier tour s'est terminé avec quatre thrillers à la hauteur de tout battage médiatique de pré-saison et ont mis une étiquette "à ne pas manquer" sur toutes les actions de l'EuroLeague à venir.

Un premier vendredi passionnant a prouvé que nous pouvons croire au battage médiatique

Eh bien, cela n’a pas pris longtemps, n’est-ce pas ?

Avec une férocité slam-dunk, la première semaine de l'EuroLeague de Turkish Airlines a rapidement confirmé toutes les anticipations et le battage médiatique précédents.

L'électricité a crépité dans toute l'Europe tandis que près de 100 000 supporters remplissaient les arènes d'Istanbul à Belgrade, en passant par Tel Aviv, Munich, Valence et plus encore.

Si la soirée d'ouverture de jeudi semblait destinée à être dominée par les équipes locales, Zalgiris Kaunas a corrigé cette idée avec non pas un, mais deux retours après un déficit de 15 points pour laisser les supporters de Virtus Segafredo Bologne écrasés.

Aussi rapidement, on nous a rappelé que tout arrive – et arrive généralement – ​​les soirs de match de l’EuroLeague.

Un autre moment fort de jeudi a été le retour du double champion Pablo Laso sur le banc avec le FC Bayern Munich pour remporter le derby allemand en égalant un record de l'EuroLeague pour la plus grande différence sur les rebonds, devançant l'ALBA Berlin par 49 à 17 !

Mais si jeudi a allumé l'étincelle, le premier vendredi a fait exploser le toit de cette nouvelle saison. L’imprévisibilité totale, essence du drame sportif, était à l’ordre du jour. Considérez que :

• À un moment donné, les quatre matchs du vendredi présentaient simultanément des écarts de 4 points ou moins au tableau d'affichage en seconde période.

• Des tirs en l'air au buzzer du quatrième quart auraient changé le vainqueur de trois matchs s'ils étaient tombés. Hélas, tout a été raté.

• Deux de ces trois matchs se sont déroulés en prolongation, le plus grand nombre lors d'un premier tour depuis 2000.

• Le quatrième match a vu une équipe du Final Four de la saison dernière subir la première surprise de la saison.

La première prolongation a eu lieu à Istanbul où l'ancien MVP Nikola Mirotic a marqué 27 points pour sa nouvelle équipe, l'EA7 Emporio Armani Milan, mais n'a pas pu empêcher Fenerbahce Beko de s'imposer 85-82 en prolongation devant ses supporters reconnaissants. Son essai à trois points pour forcer une deuxième prolongation a manqué.

Le drame a atteint des proportions littéraires alors que près de 18 000 supporters du Panathinaikos Athènes ont retenu leur souffle collectif pour le dernier coup du temps réglementaire, un vainqueur potentiel de leur nouveau héros, Kostas Sloukas, qui avait le même coup pour remporter le titre au printemps dernier pour leur grand rival. et adversaire vendredi, l'Olympiacos Le Pirée. Cependant, aucun des deux tirs n'est tombé et, dans ce cas, l'Olympiacos a dominé en prolongation pour s'imposer 78-88.

Bénéficiaire du raté de Sloukas au printemps dernier, l'actuel champion du Real Madrid, a affronté son ennemi national Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz toute la nuit avant de s'envoler avec une victoire de deux points sur la route, 77-79, malgré l'absence de la tour de puissance Walter Tavares pour le premier match. La beauté de Markus Howard au buzzer n'a pas diminué, au grand dam des plus de 14 000 supporters présents à la Buesa Arena.

Fans lived every emotion on Friday of Round 1

Et avant la fin de vendredi, Valencia Basket a lancé son chapeau en battant l'AS Monaco 70-65 en s'appuyant sur un casting de nouveaux venus jusqu'à ce que Chris Jones prenne le relais au quatrième quart-temps pour s'en assurer.

Au total, vendredi, il y a eu 29 égalités et 40 changements d'avance sur quatre matchs s'étalant sur moins de quatre heures, et aucune des huit équipes de la soirée ne détenait plus de 10 points d'avance pendant le temps réglementaire.

On dirait que les supporters étaient sur le bord de leur siège mais, bien sûr, c'est l'EuroLeague. La plupart d’entre eux étaient debout pendant la majeure partie de la nuit et on ne pouvait guère leur en vouloir. Ce fut un début de saison passionnant qui promet d’atteindre de nouveaux sommets en matière de compétitivité du basket-ball. Croyez au battage médiatique.

\[IT\] With a heavy heart, Euroleague Basketball joins the world basketball family in mourning Dusan "Duda" Ivkovic, the two-time EuroLeague champion and dean of the coaching profession, who died in his hometown of Belgrade, Serbia, on Thursday, six weeks before his 78th birthday.

After following his late older brother Slobodan into coaching at age 25 in 1968, Mr. Ivkovic served at the head of benches around Europe in different five decades from 1978 to 2017. He coached at 12 pro clubs in his native Serbia, Croatia, Greece, Russia and Turkey, as well as leading the Yugoslav and Serbian national teams in three different decades. His impact on the sport and his status among his fellow coaches was such that he served as president of the World Association of Basketball Coaches in the mid-2000s.

"We at Euroleague Basketball are beyond sad to know that a close friend and a true giant of our sport, Duda Ivkovic, has left us too soon," Jordi Bertomeu, Euroleague Basketball CEO, said. "It is no exaggeration to say that Duda impacted European basketball as much as any coach ever, growing up in one of the cradles of the sport, Belgrade, and taking many teams to the heights of success. Even more than his accomplishments, however, Duda will be remembered as a true leader to his thousands of players and to generations of coaches. Basketball has lost one of its pioneers, but Coach Ivkovic's legacy lives on in a thriving European game that he helped lift to where it is today."

Mr. Ivkovic, a relative of the world-renowned inventor Nikola Tesla, grew up on the same street in the Belgrade neighborhood of Crveni Krst as the open basketball courts belonging to Radnicki, the club where he would coach youth categories from 1968 to 1978, when he moved across town to Partizan, with whom he won the Yugoslav League and Cup, as well as the FIBA Korac Cup, in his first season at the head of a bench.

Mr. Ivkovic alternated between Serbia and Greece for the next decades, then started winning titles in bunches with four Greek teams in between 1990 and 2001. His first Greek League title came with PAOK in 1992 and his first EuroLeague crown with Olympiacos in 1997, when he won the national league and cup, as well, for a triple crown. He then added a FIBA Saporta Cup title in 2000 with AEK Athens.

In 2002, Mr. Ivkovic moved to Russia and led CSKA Moscow into three consecutive EuroLeague Final Fours while winning the national title each of those seasons. He moved next to Dynamo Moscow, with whom he won the 2006 EuroCup, making him the only coach ever to collect four different European competition trophies. But he was far from done.

Younger generations will remember Mr. Ivkovic as the mastermind behind one of the most unlikely EuroLeague titles ever won, when he guided Olympiacos to an upset of his old team, CSKA, in the 2012 championship game despite trailing by 19 points with 11 minutes left to play. He took a break from coaching after that but came back to lead Anadolu Efes Istanbul for two seasons before retiring officially in 2017. He was honored soon after as the first and still-only coach to be named an official Euroleague Basketball Legend.

In addition to his long list of championship victories as a club coach, Mr. Ivkovic had another one as head coach of Yugoslav and Serbian national teams, starting with a silver medal at the 1988 Olympics in Seoul, South Korea. Yugoslavia went on to win FIBA EuroBasket gold medals in 1989 and 1992 with Mr. Ivkovic on the bench, while in between his team climbed to the top of the sport globally by winning the 1990 FIBA World Cup in Buenos Aires, Argentina. He would add another EuroBasket title with FR Yugoslavia in 1995.

Rest in peace, Duda.

\[IT\] He may be the owner of several assists records, and on his way to more, but Nick Calathes of FC Barcelona is far more than a passing fancy or a fancy passer. Indeed, sometimes his skills as a passer can overshadow the many other attributes that Calathes brings to his teams. As a 1.96-meter point guard, Calathes knows how to use his size to score inside the arc, attacking the basket or playing one-on-one. He also rebounds really well for a playmaker. All that has allowed Calathes to become the first player in EuroLeague history to hit 700 two-point shots, dish more than 800 assists (at least) and pull down 900 rebounds during his career. Of course, he's made almost double those assists, with 1,526, and is on pace to become the EuroLeague's all-time leader next season. But don't forget, Calathes is a true all-'rounder, too!
