THE TAKE

A classic Euroleague showdown is set to take place in the Spanish capital on Thursday when Real Madrid welcomes Armani Jeans Milano in Group D. These two teams have not faced each other in Europe's top competition in more than two decades. Their last Euroleague showdown took place in 1987, the year in which Milano lifted the first of two consecutive titles. Real Madrid has taken all the major games against Milano, including in the 1964 Euroleague semifinals, the 1984 Saporta Cup final and in the 1967 Euroleague final. Real downed Simmenthal Milano 91-83 in Madrid on April 1, 1967, to win its third Euroleague title behind 29 points from Emiliano Rodriguez and 23 from Miles Aiken. More than four decades have gone by, but the memories stays intact. This season, Madrid has registered consecutive losses, while AJ Milano looks for its first 2008-09 Euroleague win. Madrid relies on its powerful frontcourt to dominate the game. Felipe Reyes is at right at the prime of his career and Jeremiah Massey is quickly adapting to his new role, while Axel Hervelle, Lazaros Papadopoulos and a recovered Venson Hamilton are ready to contribute off the bench. Reyes will test his rebounding skills against blue-collar forward Mason Rocca, while Papadopoulos and Massey are ready to battle against Mindaugas Katelynas and Joey Beard, since center Pape Sow is not expected to help Milano in this game due to an injury. The matchup between Mike Hall and Hervelle, however, could be the key to this game. There is some good news for AJ Milano, as Luca Vitali and Massimo Bulleri are back in action, ready to share the point guard duties with Yohann Sangare. Madrid relies pass-first playmaker Pepe Sanchez to run the point, with lightning quick combo guard Sergio Llull ready to offer explosiveness. Of course, Milano must worry about slowing Madrid's top gun Louis Bullock. Milano, however, has two reliable shooters in Marco Mordente and Jobey Thomas ready to pull the trigger against Bullock and Llull. Madrid is deep at small forward with Quinton Hosley providing athleticism and power, while Alex Mumbru offers shooting range, experience and driving skills. Hosley will have a strong test against another force of nature, AJ Milano swingman David Hawkins. Meanwhile, Vitali may see some minutes at small forward against Mumbru due to his size and quickness. Madrid needs to run the floor and take advantage of its athleticism in defense. Meanwhile, Milano needs to get Thomas and Hawkins involved, just as it did in the first half of last week's game against Partizan. Above all, this is a classic Euroleague showdown, so sit back and enjoy a big game.

Power forward Felipe Reyes’s next rebounds will be the 500th of his Euroleague Basketball career. He would become the 24th player in competition history to achieve that feat. Point guard Pepe Sanchez has now gone back-to-back games without attempting a shot of any kind. This is the second time in his career that he has done that. Another time he went back-to-back games with attempting a field goal, but did shoot and make free throws. Sanchez has never gone three straight games without shooting. Last week center Lazaros Papadopoulos attempted a three-pointer for the first time in his European club competitions career, which consists of 124 games in the Euroleague, ULEB Cup and SuproLeague. Armani Jeans Milano Guard Massimo Bulleri enters this week’s game against Real Madrid needing 4 more points to reach 1,000 for his Euroleague Basketball career. Only 13 of his 996 points to date have come against Madrid. Bulleri has only played one Euroleague game against the club back in November 2000. Armani Jeans is shooting 89.7% from the free-throw line through three games this season. No team has ever shot above 83% from the line in a Euroleague Basketball season. Armani Jeans is last in the league in rebounding with just 24 per game. It is also one of only two teams without any players with at least 5 rebounds per game. If Luca Vitali plays this week, he will have seen action with three different teams in his first five Euroleague game. Vitaly played two games for Virtus Bologna in the 2002-03 season and two more with Montepaschi in the 2003-04 season. Wednesday, November 12, 2008 Euroleague.net

Quotes Head Coaches

PLAZA, JOAN Real Madrid "We are expecting a motivated AJ Milano, who will want to put the first win in the column as soon as possible to make the Top 16. They are winless for now but in the game thay have played, they featured quality minutes especially in the last game against Partizan on the road, a game in which they were dominating by 17 at the break. We are expecting a team that will start strong and that increases its playing level when it is leading on the scoreboard, so we will not be able to concede anything to the rival and we have to start at 100 percent. We have to maintain the line we showed in the second half of our last game against DKV Joventut."

BUCCHI, PIERO AJ Milano "We are going to play against a deep and dangerous team. Even if they won only one of the first three games, they always were competitive, leading for a big part of the game in Belgrade and forcing CSKA to score only 58 points. We are going there after our important victory in Ferrara in the Italian League and with some players which had recovered now from their injuries, after we missed them in the first Euroleague games. We played three good quarters in Belgrade last week, where we did a pretty good job excepted for situations which made us lose the game in the final minutes. We go to Madrid to play the best game we can, we know it won't be easy but we are very focused and concentrated to find our first victory in Euroleague. We're gonna play with intensity, defense and great concentration on all those details which can make us win the game."

HERVELLE, AXEL Real Madrid "We want to maintain the image we showed in the second half against DKV Joventut, and in order to do that we are well aware that we need a big collective effort, both in offense and defense. We want to be strong at home and keep improving our game little by little, gaining confidence so we need to start strong in this game. To reach the Top 16 you have to be a strong team at home and after losing against CSKA Moscow last week we do not think about anything else than a win."

VITALI, LUCA AJ Milano "It's very exciting for me to start my Euroleague in this moment and in a such important arena like Madrid facing Real, after all the troubles we had in the first part of the season. I already played and won in Madrid with Virtus Bologna a few years ago. It's a very important game for us, and I think we can say that this game ends our preseason and the real season starts. To win this game we have to work hard in defese, where all begins in basketball, but I like to think that offensive play will have a great importance too, excpecially sharing the ball each other."

Louis Bullock's layup with 3.8 seconds remaining lifted Real Madrid to a hard-fought 70-69 win over Armani Jeans Milano at the Palacio Vistalgre in the Spanish capital on Thursday. Milano used a late 0-10 run thanks to Felipe Reyes’s unsportsmanlike foul on Mile Hall to take a 64-69 lead after a Luca Vitali three-pointer with 51 seconds remaining. But the visitors faltered down the stretch, turning the ball over on a 5-second violation and failing to create a good shot on offense as Madrid rallied for the win. The hosts bounced back from back-to-back losses to improve to 2-2, while Milano remains winless through four games. Reyes finished with 15 points, 9 rebounds and fouls drawn for Madrid, while Jeremiah Massey scored 15 as well. Sergio Llull added 11 and Axel Hervelle had 10 for the winners. Hall paced Milano with 21 points and 9 rebounds and David Hawkins added 13. Madrid won the opening tip and got on the scoreboard first as Alex Mumbru sliced through the Milano defense for a layup. Some crisp passing led to a basket inside and a three from the wing by Massey as Madrid took a 7-0 lead before Hall got the visitors started. Massey threw down a monster slam on the break to assert his dominance. Jobey Thomas and Bullock swapped triples, and then Hawkins scored for Milano before Bullock added another three. Then Pepe Sanchez fed Massey again on the break to give the hosts their first double-digit lead. Baskets by Hawkins and then Thomas brought Milano within 19-12, but Massey continued his strong opening period with a power basket. Hall hit twice from the line and then buried a three to cut the gap to 4. The pace slowed a bit, but in the final minute, Luca Vitali buried a long three for his first points of the season to bring the visitors within 21-20 after 10 minutes. Milano continued its momentum into the second period as Mindaugas Katelynas scored down low to give the visitors their first lead. Free throws and then a basket by Hall completed a 0-14 charge – during which Hall scored 9 – that put Milano ahead 21-26. Reyes hit a jumper from the top of the key to end the Madrid drought, but Massimo Bulleri and Marco Mordente chimed in with back-to-back threes to increase the lead to 9. Hervelle answered with a triple of his own from the corner and after Milano’s Mason Rocca scored a basket, free throws by Marko Tomas and Hervelle plus a Llull layup carried Madrid within 3. Hawkins scored only to see Llull fire in a triple that made it 34-36. Hall answered with a basket, but Hervelle had the last word with a three-pointer that narrowed the gap even further as Madrid went to the locker room at the half trailing 37-38. Reyes restored Madrid’s advantage on the first play of the second half, but was answered by a nifty move from Yohann Sangare. The game was moving at a fast pace, but the shots weren’t falling for either team. Massey finally got the hosts going with a pair of baskets inside. Hawkins kept Milano close with a short jumper. Madrid threatened to pull away when a Mumbru slam made it 47-42, but Hall stepped up with a triple. Thomas kept Milano close by answering Reyes and Llull’s free throws with jumpers and then Vitali fed Joey Beard to tie the game at 51-51. Reyes powered his way through Hall for a basket-plus-foul and that gave the home team a 56-53 lead heading into the fourth period. Reyes extended the home team’s advantage with free throws, but Katelynas kept Milano in the game with a bucket in the paint. Llull dished to Tomas for a pretty reverse-alley-oop. Rocca connected twice from the line, but Hervelle corrected his own miss to keep Madrid’s 5-point lead intact. Hall scored on the offensive glass to get Milano within 62-59. Sanchez went down awkwardly after attempting a layup and needed to be helped off the floor. Llull stepped up with a jumper, but Hawkins kept Milano’s hopes alive with a basket. Thomas then missed a three that would have tied the game. But after a Madrid turnover, Hawkins buried a three that tied the game at 64-64 with 1:35 remaining. The game took an unexpected turn when Reyes was called for an unsportsmanlike foul on Hall, who made both free throws. Vitali then hit a huge three with 51 seconds on the clock to give Milano a 64-69 advantage. Madrid took a timeout after which Llull scored a quick basket. Madrid’s press then resulted in a 5-second violation on Vitali. Reyes then trimmed the gap to 1 with a pair of free throws. Hawkins missed a tough three-point attempt with 20 seconds remaining. Madrid took the ball down and Bullock drove for a layup with 3.8 seconds to go that prove to be the winner. Thursday, November 13, 2008 Euroleague.net

Head Coaches

PLAZA, JOAN Real Madrid "I cannot be happy, because it was not a good game. On the other hand, it was an important win that we took under pressure. We need more wins like this to take this pressure off our backs. There were some positive things for us, like the way Jeremiah Massey and Pepe Sanchez played together. We have to improve a lot, but it was an important, hard-fought win."

BUCCHI, PIERO AJ Milano "It was a good game. We played well, but now we have the feeling that we lost a good chance to win in Madrid. We worked hard during the game and managed to keep our options alive when Madrid played better. It was a nice, balanced game, but we go back home with a bitter feeling due to a last-second loss."

Players

MASSEY, JEREMIAH Real Madrid "It was a tough game. We had to work hard to win. We played really intense and all the players made great contributions. I felt a bit helpless in the final minutes watching the game on the bench, but Louis [Bullock] stepped up with an incredible basket. I think that if we keep working hard in this direction, this team has a good future ahead."
BULLOCK, LOUIS Real Madrid "We struggled against a good team, but this is the Euroleague and there are not easy wins out there. We worked hard all 40 minutes long, especially on fullcourt defense, which was important for us. That is the way you win games, keeping your head up high. I feel relieved for making a critical shot, one of those that I missed in the past. We have to keep improving and work in this direction."

HALL, MIKE AJ Milano "We played really well and it was a tough game. It is a shame that we could not get back to Milano with a win, especially a Euroleague one, as winning on the road is really tough. We lost the game in the final shot and it hurts. I was quite confident tonight and my teammates helped me, but that doesn't mean anything if we don't win. Even though we are 0-4, we cannot give up. We must keep working hard and try to win all the remaining games."
