Maestro Teodosic’s rhapsody against Maccabi: he was responsible for 59 of Red Star’s 98 points

Milos Teodosic had a… vintage appearance in Red Star’s victory over Maccabi (92-98)do fantastic things.

The 36-year-old guard was unstoppable, scoring 27 points on 2/3 two-pointers, 6/9 three-pointers, 5/5 shooting, 2 rebounds, 14 assists, 2 in 28 minutes and 44 minutes Steals and 3 turnovers Minutes full of action in one performance. That brought back memories.

The Sportish presents the Serbian maestro’s… orgies with the help of Hudl Instat.

The 59 points he was responsible for and the “favorite” teammates

Teodosic was the one who started (almost) everything at Red Star, as evidenced by the incredible +22 he had in the +/- system, while his closest teammate (Marko Simonovic) had +9. The Serbian guard was delightful, combining execution and creation perfectly. First, here is his shot chart:

Here are the ways he scored:

When the conversation turns to Teodosic, it naturally begins with his creation. According to Hudl Instat, Teodosic was responsible for 59 of Red Star’s 98 points against Maccabi, or 60.2% of the Serbs’ points. Specifically: In addition to the 27 points he scored, the Serbs scored another 32 points through his assists.

Now “favored” by Teodosic’s assists was Joel Boloboi, who scored 13 of his 20 points through passes from the experienced guard. Here are the players who received Teodosic’s assists:

One of the last artists of European basketball

Teodosic has always been different. The way he interpreted the game, the passing angles he saw, always put him in a class of his own. He wasn’t perfect, he had his flaws, which were always right. Even his critics couldn’t help but admit that he was a basketball genius. A guard who was worth paying a ticket to see play and who had inspirations that few players in the history of European basketball have had.

This season, at age 36, Teodosic appears to be going through a second youth, averaging 11.9 points, 2.4 rebounds and 5.9 assists in 22 minutes of play. Beyond the numbers, however, Teodosic was always a maestro. A player from another time. An artist.

In 2023, as basketball becomes ever faster and more athletic, Teodosic is one of the last artists still standing on the European courts. Possibly the last artist. And nights like this one with Maccabi confirm it.
