Just like last season in Pesaro or earlier this season in Bologna during the Supercup, Olimpia Milano and Reyer Venezia are facing each other in the semifinal of the Italian Cup on Saturday at the Mediolanum Forum<\/strong>. In both previous circumstances, the winner moved on to conquer the title. Combined, the two teams have won the last four Italian league championships. Olimpia is coming off a convincing win over Reggio Emilia in the quarterfinal game. The 52 points allowed are the least scored by any team in the Final Eight history, while Sergio Rodriguez dished nine assists, a club-record in the Italian Cup. Olimpia defeated Venezia in the Supercup then beat Reyer again in the regular season, during the course of this season. Since then, Reyer has changed outlook a little bit, signing a true point-guard, Wes Clark, and moving Julyan Stone to a different role. The team coached by Walter De Raffaele is riding a six-game winning streak in the Italian league and prevailed in eight of its last nine outings. Olimpia will play the official game number 51 of the season. Reyer elected to rest center Gasper Vidmar in the quarterfinal wire-to-wire win over Virtus Bologna, while Jeremy Chappell completed the perimeter players rotation that included Michael Bramos, an elite shooter who added 13 rebounds to his game-high 23 points in the quarterfinal win, and Stefano Tonut, the team’s leading scorer in the Italian league, close to 15 points per game, who had 22 himself. Mitchell Watt is another big-time scorer and rebounder. Austin Daye is shooting the lights out in the Italian league, he is over 52 percent from three-point range. “We face the best Italian team of the last three years, they all know what to do and they also know what not to do. Against this kind of opponent, we need top concentration, high-level attention to detail and hopefully we’ll have good shooting percentages,” Coach Ettore Messina said after practice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
