THE TAKE

Kraznye Krylia’s high scoring backcourt combo of JR Bremer and Brion Rush face off against the pairing of Fabio Di Bella and Timmy Bowers of Pepsi Caserta in what is expected to be a high intensity game in Russia on Tuesday night. The Eurocup debut for the Red Wings is considered an excellent chance for the club to establish itself in European competition. And Kraznye boasts the muscle needed to do it with high scoring small forward Gerald Green and an established post presence in experienced center Primoz Brezec. Head coach Mikhail Mikhailov’s team hopes to offset Caserta’s strong rebounding trio of Luca Garri, Olumide Oyedeji and Jumaine Jones. The visitors intend to run, no doubt, with quick and powerful slashers like Bowers and Ebi Ere feasting on forced turnovers and the steady hand of Di Bella orchestrating the transition game. The hosts will try to counter with some rugged inside play and have plenty of size and depth to create matchup problems, especially if Jermareo Davidson shines in his Eurocup debut and Konstantin Nesterov flashes some of that double digit scoring from last year’s tournament. Eric Williams figures to be Caserta’s top low-post scoring threat. If Kraznye is eager to make a statement, it certainly can’t top Caserta’s motivations: having been out of European competitions for the past 17 years, they hope their current array of stars can rise to the occasion from Day One.

Fabio di Bella - Pepsi CasertaPepsi Caserta enjoyed a victorious start to the Eurocup with a 78-85 come-from-behind road win over Krasnye Krylia at the Universal Sports Hall on Tuesday thanks to guard Fabio Di Bella’s 25 points. The Red Wings led by 13 in the third quarter, but Caserta when on a 2-19 run sparked by the offensive prowess of Di Bella, Timmy Bowers and Jumaine Jones to take the lead at heading into the fourth quarter and the visitors made it stand. Krasnye Krylia could not translate a big night by Primoz Brezec, who had 24 points on perfect shooting and 7 rebounds, into their first win of the competition. Luca Garri added 17 points and Ebi Ere scored 11 for Caserta, which hosts Anwil Wloclawek next week. Krasnye Krylia got 13 points from Konstantin Nesterov and JR Bremer added 12 plus 4 assists. The Red Wings travel to play Alba Berlin next Tuesday.

The Red Wings had reason to be excited early on and jumped to a 4-0 start by establishing a post presence. Brezec was a force for the hosts from the get go, as he totaled 20 points in the first half, going a perfect 9 for 9 from the field and dominating the paint, which allowed head coach Mikhail Mikhailov’s side to maintain the margin at 24-20 by the end of the first quarter. Caserta tried to counter Brezec’s scoring spree in the second with Di Bella pushing the tempo some and getting Bowers involved. Brion Rush was up and down for the hosts, as he committed 4 turnovers, but still was able to dish out 5 assists and provide a steal in the half, which ended with a considerable 46-37 cushion for Krasnye Krylia.

But whatever coach Caserta bos Stefano Sacripanti told his players during halftime, it seemed to work, as the visitors started clawing back into it after Rush had pushed the host’s biggest margin of the game to 55-42 with a layup. A 2-19 run led by Di Bella, Bowers and Jones gave the lead to Caserta at 57-58 and the visitors entered the final quarter up 59-61. The Red Wings tried to pry the lead back, but could not get Brezec going again, as he only scored one more basket in the second half. It was Garri who instead dominated inside, as he scored 5 straight points to start the fourth quarter and added 6 to cap it off. Bremer tried to keep his team in the game with penetration baskets, triples and trips to the foul line, but could never push Krasnye closer than 3 as Caserta’s defense, which forced 15 turnovers, held on for the 78-85 road victory.

MIKHAILOV, MIKHAIL
Krasnye Krylia
"We started very well, and the reason for that was mainly Primoz Brezec. But actually he joined the team's practices only on Saturday after his injury, and he didn't manage to play on a high physical level till the very end. We weren't able to find another player in the team who could lead the team in the second half. We have a more difficult game in Germany in front of us, and we'll try to win there."
SACRIPANTI, STEFANO
Pepsi Caserta
"I can divide today's game into two large periods. In the first one we could not do anything with Brezec, who almost killed us with his pick-and-rolls. After the first half we managed to change our game in defense, and it lead us to victory. In general it was a very good game for both teams."

Players

BREZEC, PRIMOZ
Krasnye Krylia
"We played bad in defense today. This has nothing to do with personal statistics. If you play bad in defense, no personal stats will help. I won't evaluate my personal statistics. If the team lost, it means everyone lost, everyone played bad."
BOWERS, TIMMY
Pepsi Caserta
"This game was very important for both teams. We had a series of seven lost games and we were highly motivated. I can say that maybe we needed this win more than Samara."
