The 5^The The Elite League matchday is over, the seven games will take place on Saturday (October 28th) and the curtain on the matchday will fall on Sunday (October 29th).

The SPORTS24 presents you everything that happened in 5^The Turnaround of the second-place category of Greek basketball, with the leaders of the competition but also the outstanding performances.

THE MVP

Zach Bryant was unstoppable in Hermis Schimatari’s commanding 83-63 victory over Heracles. The American from the Schimatari team scored 30 points (7/10 shots, 7/9 two-pointers, 3/4 three-pointers), while grabbing 5 rebounds and dishing out 5 assists. Bryant accumulated 34 points in the scoring system and won the title of MVP of the tournament.

Attack… fire

Milonas recorded the best offensive performance of the tournament with 100 points. The Nea Smyrni team scored 96 points in their home win over Ayantas Evosmos. Most of the points came behind the 6:75 meter mark, 45 of them with 15/32 three-pointers. Milonas scored 32 points from the three-point line (16/34 two-pointers), while the remaining 19 came from the free throw line (19/22).

Defense… reinforced concrete

Megarida earned a comfortable win against Eleftheroupoli, with the defensive function serving as a reference point in their game. NEM significantly restricted Eleftheroupolis, holding it to 57 points, and with such a defensive performance there would hardly have been a positive result.

They stole the impressions

Doxa Lefkada and Ermis Schimatari achieved two very big victories, both in terms of size and prestige, as the first defeated Panioni 90-70, while the second defeated Heraklis by the same margin (83-63). Both the Nea Smyrni and Thessaloniki teams are teams with a long history and lofty goals, and logically the specific results caused… noise.

Mykonos doesn’t take its foot off the gas

Mykonos remains the only team in the Elite League that measures the absolute number of wins after five games. Tzima’s team reached 5/5 with its victory over Amydas with 69-62, while Milonas remained alone in second place with 4-1 after the defeats of Panioni and Esperos Lamia.
