The first game didn't go according to the Spanish playing style and they lost by a large margin. It's clear that Valencia needs to play their fast and offensive style of basketball. Unfortunately, they couldn't do it in the first game due to their tragic 3-point shooting (6/33). The total score decreased and it's a total that wouldn't have been possible to achieve in the regular season. PAO also has their own weapons in offense, but Valencia has the advantage and if they can make their shots, the game should be played in a more traditional style. This could be a tougher match for the home team and if they lose, the series should be put to an end.

The first game went not according to the Spanish playing style and ended in defeat. It is clear that Valencia has to play their fast paced and offensive style of basketball. Unfortunately, they were unable to do so in the first game due to a tragic 3-point shooting performance (6/33). The total score has decreased and it is a total that would have been difficult to achieve in the regular season. PAO also has their weapons in offense, but Valencia is superior in this aspect and if they can improve their shooting, their playing style should also become more typical. It is one of the better home teams, but if they suffer a defeat, they should also consider changing the series.

Osman is a high-level player. He should have even better statistics on another team. In Pao, it's clear there is no shortage of stars, but Osman is still one of the main weapons for Ataman. The Turk throws a lot of 3-pointers and hits them well. But he also has other weapons on offense. He is one of the best players at driving to the basket and is often difficult to stop.

It would be regrettable not to take such a coefficient because the first game, or more precisely the second period, was a complete misunderstanding, which led to losing the game. Excluding the second period, in which Zalgiris only made 1 shot out of 11, they returned to the fight and maintained a decent tension. Essentially, this suggests that the teams were equal and it was only one period that made the difference, which Fene took advantage of and determined the game. If they manage to avoid periods where they lose by 16 points tonight, Zalgiris should be able to fight for the victory.

Strazeli performed very poorly in the first game. He made 0 out of 9 shots. Although some players on the Monaco team have recovered from injuries, their rotation is still limited, and some players are simply not performing at the same level against Oly. Strazeli is one of the main players and gets a lot of playing time. It is quite easy for him to score such a low total.

Start has already understood the level of competition in the Norwegian division, this season they have entered the top of Norway and are currently at the bottom of the league after 6 matches, and now they are facing a CL level opponent, although their form is not the best. But the difference between the teams is very big. When looking for form, Bodo is a great opponent to face. My prediction is 6-0.

The role of substitutes and leaders here is completely different, which is why players like Gossas don't shy away from taking on responsibilities. He played well in the offense, but also scored 6 points. There's a lot of talk after the game that Gossas or Francisco can't rest at the same time. The importance of the game is immense, and they should be solid every minute and again.

Hello.
Euroleague. Playoffs. Valencia against Pao. Let's go with Taylor over 10.5 points.
Taylor plays a lot of minutes and makes a lot of shots. After Montero, this is probably the second most important game for Valencia. In the first match, the team didn't perform well. The same Taylor only made 1 out of 4 3-pointers (season average 40 percent) and 4 out of 8 2-pointers (season average 60.4 percent). Plus, he didn't make a single free throw (while on average he makes over 2 per game). Montero alone won't be enough, so we will need Badio, Reuvers, and Taylor to have a better game. In the poor first match, he also had 11 turnovers, so today I expect an even bigger contribution and a Valencia win. Good luck.

There is not much to talk about here, Žalgiris made a lot of mistakes in the first series of matches, but today they will correct them and make Sara worried and think about the next matches already in Kaunas.

Hello. Euroleague. Playoffs. Oly against Monaco. We're going with Diallo over 11.5 points. Mikey won't be able to handle Monaco on his own, so he will need some help. Oly's defenders are not bad at defense, and under the basket there's Milutinov and Fall, who won't make it easy for the centers. The weakest spots seem to be on the edges (especially when they are more focused on offense). So realistically, we need to choose between Diallo and Blossomgame. Blossomgame is more limited in offense, so let's try Diallo. In the first match he scored 15 points (1 out of 5 from 3PT and 5 out of 9 2-pointers). He gets a lot of shots, and will also have opportunities. He plays a lot of minutes (27+ minutes in the first match) and doesn't really have any competition on Monaco, so he will have to be on the court. The handicap is not high for a player like him, so let's give it a try. Good luck.

Hello.
Euroleague. Playoffs. Fener against Žalgiris. We are moving with Žalgiris +6.5 handicap.
Everyone probably saw the game and I won't say much new here. I think corrections will be made and Biberovic Žalgiris won't allow such a big gap. Even at -18 Žalgiris looked good in the second half and almost made a comeback. Plus, we have a lot of reserves - Lo, Sleva, Butkė, and Cisco didn't even play. 3PT didn't work out for Žalgiris, which is one of their main weapons. Today I'm expecting a completely different outcome and overall I believe we will have a 1-1 result when we come back to Kaunas, but for safety we're taking the plus. Good luck.

Bodo had a somewhat difficult round of matches, but today it seems like a good opportunity to let off some steam. Bodo is the top-level team in Norway, currently dominating especially in offense. The start of the season was not the best, but it was definitely influenced by their matches in the Champions League. It is clear that the start does not always reflect the level of the highest league, and this is often the case with teams that have been promoted from a weaker league. Bodo should take advantage of both their own level and their opponents' poor results.

I am going over with the intention that Baptiste Hailey will take at least one set. Baptiste Hailey, 24-year-old American, is currently in the highest position on the WTA rankings, very dangerous, can make other players lose their patience with her game, has a decent serve, and good technique. In this tournament, the American has had three impressive victories against Paolini, Bencic, and Sabalenka, especially the great last victory against Sabalenka, where she came back from a loss in the first set.
Andreeva Mirra, a 19-year-old Russian, has been playing here without any problems so far, although Fernandez Leylah was a tougher opponent. However, I have noticed a lack of stability in finishing the points, as even when leading with a break, she cannot close out a set and starts making double faults or similar mistakes. I believe the American will not give up easily, unless there are any health issues, as the only past H2H record was a win for the Russian at Wimbledon last year.

Andreeva Mirra, a 19-year-old Russian, has been playing without much difficulty here, although Fernandez Leylah proved to be a more challenging opponent. However, it seems that she lacks stability in crucial points, as she struggles to close out sets even when leading with a break, often leading to double faults. I don't think the American will give up easily unless there are any health issues, as Andreeva was the only one who defeated her at last year's Wimbledon.

The total performance for this player was too low, despite a poor first meeting. I believe we can expect a bounce back game from him, especially considering that this veteran player has won major trophies in his career. He can turn the game around at any moment and lead the team to victory. However, I don't think we should focus too much on the fact that Zalgiris had a tough time in the first meeting, since they could score within seconds. I think minutes will pass quickly, especially considering the fact that Zalgiris struggled in offense during the first meeting.

Of course, on paper PAO is stronger, but Valencia's team should not be written off completely. At home, they are capable of taking one game, and I also believe they can do well away since I expect all five games to be close theoretically. PAO did well against Valencia, but I think they will find their fast game tomorrow and won't miss so many long shots like in the previous game that was an important focus in that match, making it hard to believe they will continue to struggle. It is possible that in the first half there will be a lead of almost 10 points and then PAO will try to make a comeback.

Even though Mirra has returned to a good form, the American also demonstrates a strong game. Of course, for now there is a considerable difference in experience, titles in Mirra's favor, but the American should not be underestimated so strongly. Considering that the period for the American was much more difficult than for the Russian, it makes us think whether she can still surprise us. Knowing how emotional Mirra can be when the game doesn't go her way, we just have to wait for that moment and anything is possible. So I will try to predict that there will be three sets and a small bet on the American, hoping that she is mentally prepared, as many battles have been won by her.
