Andrew Goudelock scored just 3 points in the first half, weakened by flu-like symptoms, Marco Cusin had to leave the game for good with a back injury early in the first and a perfect initial quarter and a 13-point commanding lead was reduced to 1-point at the half. Still, Olimpia overcame all the adversities, led from wire to wire, responded strong when it mattered the most and won the Supercup prevailing over Venezia 82-77. Jordan Theodore had a spectacular game scoring 29 points to go along 7 rebounds and 5 assists on his way to win the MVP trophy. Goudelock shook off the flu late in the game with an 11-point fourth quarter. But it was a total team effort that surprised even Coach Pianigiani. Amath M’Baye had a double double, made a huge three in the fourth. Micov and Gudaitis were solid throughout the game. Olimpia led both Forlì’s games and defended the trophy conquered last year in Milan.
