by

With a big weapon the defense and with the Shane Larkin to make his appearance when the ball… was on fire, Anadolu Efes went through with victory (67-76) from its headquarters Virtus Bologna and started her duties in the Euroleague with the right.

On the other hand, his team Luca Banki he could not find solutions against the very good regional defense of the Turks and with them Sengelia and Belinelli being in an average evening could not claim anything more.

The match until its third period was a derby, with the two teams going hand in hand in scoring and half time to end in a draw 36-36. A balance that continued in the third period, with neither being able to build a streak.

All this until the fourth period, or the Shane Larkin moment. The American guard was terrific, scoring 8 of his 11 points in the final quarter while also creating for his teammates. This outburst was more than enough for his team Mijatovic.

OR Bologna failed to respond to Ephesus’ crescendo from 6.75, it was quite misguided and defeat was inevitable. Leading for the Italians was Cordinier with 16 points, while for the Turks, in addition to Larkin, O Otorou (14 points), as well as o Bryant (12 points).

The quarters: 21-15, 36-36, 52-51, 67-76.
