THE TAKE

CEZ Nymburk and VEF Riga face off on Tuesday in tight-knit Goup G, where almost anything could still happen. VEF Riga comes off a big win over Hapoel Jerusalem – its second in a row – in which it improved to 2-3, but must follow that up with another win to have a shot at the Last 16. The Czech champs can punch their ticket to the next stage with a win. If Jerusalem (3-2) wins its game against Cajasol (2-3) on Tuesday, Riga would advance if it beat Nymburk by more than 10 points. However if both Riga and Cajasol win, a four-way tie would ensue and Riga would be at a significant tiebreak disadvantage owning a minus-31 point difference coming into the games. Nymburk bested Riga 75-85 in Latvia last month as Tre Simmons led a strong three-point shooting effort and Radek Necas had a fine all-around effort. Nymburk is coming off an impressive win in Sevilla and has looked stronger recently with the addition of Vladimir Stimac inside. Riga’s attack starts with point guards Sandis Valters and Derek Williams, continues with Dairis Bertans and Kristaps Janicenoks on the wings. Big man Kaspars Berzins, the Eurocup’s sixth-best rebounder (8 rpg.) and third-best shot blocker (2 bpg.) anchors the frontline. He will have to deal with Stimac, while the deep Nymburk backcourt of Afik Nissim, Simmons, Mike Lenzly and Pavel Pumprla gives head coach Ronen Ginsburg plenty of options. Nymburk has the experience – it reached the Eurocup quarterfinals last season – and plays this pivotal game at home, making it the favorite. But Riga is the hottest team in the group right now and could be celebrating in the end if it gets hot when it matters.

Ladislav Sokolovsky - CEZ NymburkCEZ Basketball Nymburk became the Group G champion by downing VEF Riga 90-79 in Pardubice, the Czech Republic on Tuesday. Nymburk finished Group G with a 4-2 record and made it to the Last 16 along with Cajasol, that finished second at 3-3 due to its tie-break advantage over Hapoel Jerusalem. Pavel Pumprla paced the winners with 17 points. Ladislav Sokolovsky added 15, Mike Lenzly added 13, Michal Kremen got 12 while Afik Nissim contributed 10 for Nymburk. Kristaps Janicenoks led VEF with 25 points and 6 steals. Derek Williams added 10 for the guests, that led 19-26 late in the first quarter. Lenzly, Kremen and Sokolovsky fueled a game-breaking 19-0 run that allowed Nymburk to get a double-digit halftime lead, 42-31. Nothing changed since that moment, as Nymburk sealed the outcome minutes before the final buzzer and got some hope from Cajasol to finish atop its regular season group.

Pumprla for Nymburk going with a three-point play but Kaspars Berzins answered from downtown for a 3-3 tie. Radek Necas scored in the paint and Vladimir Stimac added free throws but a put-back layup by Art Parakhouski and a jumper by Janicenoks allowed VEF to get its first lead, 7-8. Tre Simmons sank a jumper but free throws by Janicenoks ignited a 0-9 run highlight by Berzins' dunk, enough for VEF to get a 9-17 margin. Ales Chan stepped up with back-to-back baskets but Janicenoks and Williams kept VEF way ahead, 14-22. Chan scored again while Sokolovsky followed an off-balance shot with a triple for a 22-26 Nymburk deficit after 10 minutes. Nymburk improved its defense early in the second quarter and three-pointers by Lenzly, Kremen and Sokolovsky set the crowd on fire, 31-26. VEF went scoreless for more than 6 minutes. Meanwhile, Lenzly made free throws, Nissim added a jumper and Sokolovsky scored again to make it a 12-point game, 38-26, after a 19-0 run. VEF had missed 9 consecutive shots until Parakhouski sank free throws. Williams added a layup-plus-foul but free throws by Nissim and a jumper by Necas gave Nymburk a 42-31 margin at halftime.

Parakhouski scored down low immediately after the break and Gadson added free throws to give VEF some hope at 42-35. Sokolovsky sank foul shots and Pumprla added a layup but Gadson and Janicenoks kept VEF within 46-40. Parakhouski kept pacing the guests with a layup and a jumper by Janicenoks made Nymburk call timeout at 48-44. Nymburk improved its defense right when it mattered while Necas and Nissim fueled a 7-0 run that Pumprla capped with a dunk for a 55-44 lead. Williams stepped up with a layup that Sokolovsky bettered with an acrobatic three-point play. Sandis Valters and Janicenoks kept finding the way to the basket but Kremen followed a jumper with a three-pointer for a 67-55 Nymburk lead after 30 minutes. Janicenoks stayed on fire early in the fourth quarter but a big triple by Lenzly and a layup by Nissim boosted the hosts' lead to 72-57. Bertans and Valters sank consecutive three-pointers and Janicenoks got VEF within 75-65 with over 4 minutes left. Kremen and Lenzly stepped up in crunch time to seal the outcome, 80-67, allowing all Nymburk fans to celebrate a well-deserved, critical win!

"We started the game a bit nervous and with pressure. We changed some players and made it more stable. Then we started to play better basketball. In the second half we played quite well. In these games you are under big pressure, you don't know what is the result in other games. Players showed character and we managed to keep the game in the third quarter. I think we made a great performance making the next round of Eurocup from the first place."
KURTINAITIS, RIMAS
VEF Riga
"I want congratulate Nymburk for today's victory and the qualification to next round of Eurocup. Especially tonight they showed they are much better than we are. They showed something similar to what they showed in Riga. They are a stronger team. We are new in the Eurocup, so a lot of our players are having first time on the European courts, we are lacking the experience, so this is a small excuse for us. Now we have to face future, concentrate on other games in other competitions.“
