(Boxscores)


Game recap: Alicante, 4 September 2007 - The Italian team, after a good start
versus the Slovenian one yesterday, hvae lost the second game of the preliminary
round versus a strong and Brilliant French Team.
Tony Parker have
played like in the Nba Finals finishing with 26 points with 10/18 from the field and 3 of 6
from outside the arc. The Italian team started well with a Bargnani in a big night and a
Belinelli very concrete; also Bulleri and MArconato did a great job in the first, in fact
Italy won it 34-25. It was and high scoring game.
SECOND QUARTER In the second the story changed: the French Team
dominated the Italian one, also the substitutes did a great job.
Galebale
and Diawara made some spectacular actions and the key of the French recovery
was steals: they had 14 steal at the end, most of them was made in the second
and in the third quarter.
The game at the half was 49-44 for France.
CONCLUSION In the third quarter the Italian team recovered 3 points and
they began the last period down only by 1 point.
But now,
when they tought that they could try to win, Tony Parker gave them the last heavy blow.
The Finals mvp made some spectacular actions but with 2 minutes to go he suffered
and injury: Nothing special, he will play in the next games anyway.
Now the
French team is in the first place (4 points) followed by the Slovenian and Italian one
(2 points) and by the Poland one (0 points)

(Boxscores)


Game recap: Alicante, 5 September 2007 - A 73-72 triumph over Poland
was enough to see Italy progress to the qualifying round at the EuroBasket.
Guard Marco Belinelli had a 12 points game for the winning side while forward
Andrea Bargnani added 11 points and 5 rebounds, 9 of which came in the first half.
Just like they did four years ago, the Italians bounced back from their nightmare
start to the tournament by winning their final and vital group game.
SECOND QUARTER Italy were up 20-14 going into the second quarter.
And then with Belinelli, Bargnani and Mancinelli Italy had a 40 -35 lead at the half.
The Azzurri came out of the locker rooms refreshed and ready to run and Belinelli's
three-pointer early in the third quarter pushed their lead up to 48-37.Italy were still
unable to pull away as Poland refused to give up the fight and made sure to punish
the Azzurri for their mistakes. Four turnovers by the Italians - including two in a
row by Marco Belinelli sparked an 8-0 run by the Poles to cut the deficit to
48-45.
For the Poland Wojcik long-range bombs kept Poland's dreams alive as they
trailed 64-60 going into the final stanza.
CONCLUSION In the Last quarter the Poland team made their best to kept
their hopes up, and with Pluta in a big night they could do that.
With
13 seconds left they had the chanche to won the game trailing only by 1 but Koskarez
couldn't hit the shot: Italy won and they will go to madrid with France (3-0) and Slovenia (1-2).

(Boxscores)


Game recap: Alicante, 8 September 2007 - The 2003 champions Lithuania
remained undefeated in their quest to regain the EuroBasket title by beating
Italy 93-86 to improve to 3-0 in Group F and take a giant step towards reaching
the quarter-finals in Madrid. Songaila led Lithuania by pouring in 21 points, including
a three-point play with 3:12 remaining to spark a 8-0 run to finish off the game.
Sarunas tallied 19 points, two rebounds, five assists and three steals in 28 minutes.
Lithuania built up an 11-point lead midway through the first quarter but allowed
Italy back into the game and finishing it up by two. It was the third straight game
in which the Lithuanians were unable to control a double-digit lead. Italy, who
were out-rebounded 29-20, now have a real fight on their hands to qualify for
the quarter-finals. They need to win the other two game. Andrea Bargnani collected
19 points and four rebounds while Belinelli and Mancinelli added 16 points each.
LITLLE DREAM The Lithuanians started the game strong defensively,
holding the Italians scoreless for more than five minutes in using a 13-0 run to
pull out to a 15-4 lead with 6:30 left in the first. Belinelli and Mancinelli answered
with 11 straight points to help close to 29-27 and going 36-28 going into the second
quarter. Lithuania kept trying to scrap themselves back into the game and Italy
continued to fend them off. But in the third they reached the Italian Team with an
Important performance by Kleiza. The final seven minutes of the third period
saw nine lead changes but the game was still tied 69-69 going into the fourth
after Siskausas's jumper with 22 seconds left.
BROKEN DREAM Lithuania in the last period changed the game with an impressive
defensive and offensive perfomance winning the last quarter 24-17 and concluding
the game 93-86.
Lithuania next face France on Monday while Italy take on Turkey.

Tough loss looser, Lithuania were just better in the last quarter. But I think you have good chances to make it to the quarterfinals.

I'm seriously jealous of your graphics card man... Graphically, I feel so inferior everytime I view this dynasty...

Word. I'm in the same boat; when the people in the stands look better than my players on the court, that's just wrong! ah well, i aint upgrading anytime soon so the 'Street Fighter' graphics will have to do!

Italy - 72
Turkey - 71
(Boxscores)


Game recap: Alicante, 10 September 2007 - Atsur poured in a game-high
20 points for Turkey but it wasn't enough to upset Andrea Bargnani and Italy on
Monday. Bargani scored all 18 of his points after half-time as the Italians won 72-71
in a final game thriller. Turkey had a chance to win at the end of regulation
but Ibrahim Kutluay missed a wide-open attempt from the left corner to leave the
game at
72-71. Belinelli, who is set to begin his rookie season with the Golden State
Warriors in the NBA, was amazing. He scored 14 points but with always when
his team need them; he had also 4 assists in the game
TOUGH TURKEY In the first quarter the guys started well with a 9-0 run but
the Turkey could reach them at the end of the first quarter trailing only by 2 points
with Kutluay’s three.
Neither team could pull away in the second half and the game was eventually
decided in the extra period. In the third Gallinari, the 18 years old Nba Prospect
hit two important consecutive shot giving italy a 4-0 run and the 3 point lead.
Unfortunately Ilyasova woke up in the third quarter
When he
was unstoppable: he had all his 9 points in this period and his performance gave
Turkey a 6 point lead at the end of the third quarter.
ITALY GOES TO THE NBA In the last period was a Bargnani featuring
Belinelli show: the two Nba guys put up a big show aleternating some spectacular
actions and moments of concrete basketball.
But with 4.3
seconds left and Italy up by 1 but Kutulay missed a wide open attempt and Italy now
will face Germany on Wednesday - still with a chance to reach the quarter-finals
should they win.
Turkey is now out of the Competition.

Game recap: Alicante, 14 September 2007 - Finish today the hopes of the Italian
team to be a top contender for the European title: they lost versus Greece by 12 Points...
anyway they will play for the 5-6 place versus the Russian team.
The big game
of Bargnani wasn't enough: he played a solid and remarcable game; he had 27 points
with 11/19 from the field.
Instead of
Bargnani Belinelli had bad game...he finished only with 6 points.
THE GAME The Italian team started strong and they were very focused:
with Bulleri and Belinelli runnig the floor and Bargnani finishing strong they could stay
with the Greece team.
In the second the Italy put up a 12 to 3 run and they finished the second quarter up by 7.
But then in the third something changed: Zizis and Papalukas were on fire!!! They
hit almost all the shots they attempted. The Greece finished the third quarter with
a 24-9 partial.
In the last quarter the effort of Bargani wasn't enough, Greece won 90-78.
CONCLUSION The Greece team will go versus the Spain one in the first Semifinals,
in the second there will be Lithuania versus France.
For the 7-8 place
Latvia and Germany will face up, and for the 5-6 Italy will face the Russian Team.
