The EuroCup 2022 continues. Matchday 16 will be played between tomorrow and Wednesday and they will take the field Trento, Virtus Bologna and Venice. All three Italian teams will play their matches away.
He will only play to improve his ranking Trento (the team of Emanuele Molin can no longer qualify for the final stages given the 13 defeats in 14 matches), which will face Turk Telekom Ankara away from home tomorrow at 18:00. Above all, it will certainly not be an easy challenge, considering the moment of crisis that the Trentino people are going through (they come from eleven consecutive defeats). Despite the eighth position in the standings, the Turkish team is in fact a hostile opponent: attention should be paid above all to Aaron Harrison (16 points on average so far this EuroCup season), to former Sassari Anthony Clemmons (11.8) and a Jared Terrell (10.2). Then also pay attention to Jajuan Johnson, very dangerous center under the basket (12.8 points and 5.6 rebounds on average).
Wednesday at 6.15 pm will then be the turn of the Virtue Bologna, who will play on the field of Promitea Patras to hunt for the ninth victory in Europe. The opponent on paper is affordable (the Greeks are currently in last position in Group B with 4 wins in 15 matches), but be careful not to underestimate the commitment. The guards Kendrick Ray (13.8 points per game), Trevis Simpson (11.00), the wing Dimitris Agravanis (10.9) and the center Jerai Grant they are in fact dangerous players who could put the Black Vs in difficulty. To respond to the opponent’s offensives, coach Sergio Scariolo he will rely above all on the usual ones Milo Theodosic (12.2 points and 9.3 assists per game per game), Kyle Weems (13.6 points) And Kevin Hervey (12.1) and newcomers Daniel Hackett and Tornike Shengelia. The center could also be very important Mouhammadou Jaiteh, especially under the basket on both sides (so far 12.2 points and 7.6 rebounds on average), e the handyman Alessandro Pajola.

The sixth (the Venetians) and the fourth (the Slovenes) team of group B will face each other in a match that promises to be really balanced and full of entertainment.
