Aris traveled to Italy without Roberto Gallinat, Vasilis Toliopoulos and Ismael Sanogo and lost to Trento by 15 points (58-43) in the 32nd minute he tied the match (67-67) with 4.2″ to go, but saw Quinn Ellis post the final 69-67 with 0.9″ to play.

Yannis Kastritis’ team, which fell to 3:6 after 9 games in the EuroCup, showed great effort, but failed in the details and missed four free throws in the last minute of the game. Ronnie Harrell was the all-time leader for the Greek team as he recorded 24 points (4/6 two-pointers, 4/5 three-pointers, 4/5 shots), 5 rebounds and 3 in 33’43” playing time Steals scored.

The race

The game was fairly even in the first half (17:17 in the 10th minute and 32:32 in the 20th minute), with Aris taking the pace at his own pace. The only negative point for Yannis Kastritis’ team was the lost rebound battles, as Trento conceded 21 – 9 of which were offensive – without being able to capitalize on them.

With a partial 15:2 in the middle of the third period, the home team escaped with 13 points (47:34). Aris responded with a 7-0 run to bring the score to 47:41, but the home team again extended its lead to double digits (53:43, 30th minute).

At 32′ the gap increased to 15 points (58-43), but with 10 points from Ronnie Harrell Aris was just a breath away at 38′ (65-64). This was followed by a basket by Kamar Baldwin, 1/2 shots by Lefteris Bohorides, excellent defense by the yellow-blacks and 2 missed shots by Andreas Kalogiros.

Andrei Grazulis also went 0/2 from the charity stripe, while Ronnie Harrell hit a 3-pointer and earned a foul with 4.2 inches on the clock. He had 2/3 shots to tie the game (67-67), but it was Quinn Ellis who had the final say, making it 69-67 0.9 inches before halftime.

The next games of the two teams: On matchday 10 of the EuroCup, Aris will play at home against Gran Canaria (June 12th, 10:00 p.m.), while Trento will host Ulm (June 12th, 9:00 p.m.).

Yogi Ferrell (1993, 1:83 minutes) and Partizan were close to agreeing on a contract for a few months with the option of an extension until the end of the season. However, the former Panathinaikos guard eventually backed down when he saw that Black and White Belgrade’s fans weren’t very keen on the sound of his name.

However, the small winger wanted to leave China and return to Europe, so he reached an agreement with Buduchnost and will therefore play in the ABA League again, as well as the EuroCup.

Last season, while playing for Cedevita, Ferrell averaged 16.4 points, 2.9 rebounds and 5.4 assists in 29 Adriatic League games.

With a serious problem at the last moment, the Aris Mission traveled to the EuroCup in Italy with a view to the away game against Trento (November 29th, 9:00 p.m.).

The reason for this was Vassilis Toliopoulos, who ultimately did not follow the team on the trip to the Italian city due to severe stomach problems. Although he was at the airport with his teammates, he had to leave one by one.

This is a long absence that forces Giannis Kastritis to readjust the data in the rotation, as it is a regional player who has recorded 11.6 points, 1.9 rebounds and 2.7 assists so far in the EuroCup.
