Anadolu Efes Istanbul swingman Elijah Bryant has become the second player to win the NBA and the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague titles in consecutive seasons. 

Bryant joined an exclusive list of champs

Anadolu Efes Istanbul won its second consecutive Turkish Airlines EuroLeague title at the 2022 Final Four in Belgrade, Serbia. When it won its first crown in Cologne, Germany, a year ago, Bryant had just joined the Milwaukee Bucks of the NBA. Bryant played one regular-season game with Milwaukee in which he scored 16 points. He then took part in 11 playoff games and averaged 1.3 points in helping the team win its first NBA title since 1971. 

By following that NBA ring with a EuroLeague crown, Bryant became just the 11th player to win both the NBA and EuroLeague titles. His teammate Rodrigue Beaubois, an NBA champion with Dallas in 2011 and now a back-to-back EuroLeague winner with Efes, is on that list, too. 

Only two players, however, have won the NBA and EuroLeague titles in consecutive seasons. Jim Brewer was the only player to achieve that until Bryant came along. Brewer helped the Los Angeles Lakers lift the NBA trophy in 1982 and went on to claim the EuroLeague crown with Ford Cantu in 1983. He scored 14 points and had the game-sealing block to lead Cantu to a 69-68 victory in the championship game against Billy Olimpia Milan.

Bryant plays key role at the 2022 Final Four

Bill Bradley was the first player to win both titles. He led Milan to its first EuroLeague crown in 1966 and helped the New York Knicks win NBA titles in 1970 and 1973. Manu Ginobili won the EuroLeague with Virtus Bologna in 2001 and four EuroLeague titles with the San Antonio Spurs (2003, 2005, 2007 and 2014). Bradley and Ginobili each have won an Olympic Gold Medal, too. Toni Kukoc is the only player to win both titles three times; First, he three-peated with Split in 1989, 1990 and 1991 and then with the Chicago Bulls in 1996, 1997 and 1998. The other player with multiple wins in both competitions is Bob McAdoo with the Lakers (1982, 1985) and Milan (1987, 1988). 

Larry Wright (Washington Bullets 1978, Virtus Roma 1984), Zan Tabak (Split 1989, 1990, 1991; Houston Rockets 1995), Rasho Nesterovic (Virtus Bologna 1998; San Antonio Spurs 2005) and most recently, Josh Powell (Los Angeles Lakers 2009, 2010; Olympiacos Piraeus 2013) complete the list.

Anadolu Efes Istanbul went from the worst to the best again, but this time within one season – in points allowed.


Efes's defense went from worst to best in a matter of weeks

It is well-known that Efes went on a journey from the last place in the 2017-18 season to the championship game a season later, followed by back-to-back titles in 2021 and 2022. On its way to the EuroLeague crown the team lifted this past weekend in Belgrade, Efes completed another worst-to-first change, but this time with its defense.

After finishing the regular season allowing a league-high 81.0 points per game, Efes completely turned things around defensively. Efes has had the best defense in terms of points allowed since the end of the regular season - and by a wide margin. Efes held opponents to a league-low 64.0 points per game in the playoffs and at the Final Four in Belgrade allowed just 65.5 points. 

"Everybody speaks about our offense," Shane Larkin said after winning the crown in the lowest-scoring EuroLeague Championship Game since the turn of the century. "Everybody talks about how we can make exciting plays, the threes, the alley-oops, the step-backs, all those things. In a game like this, 58-57, we get to sit down on defense, get our own rebounds, dive for loose balls, take charges. It just proves the heart that we have, the character we have, the championship character."

That was not only what Efes did in the championship game, but throughout the postseason during which it has not allowed more than 74 points in any game. 

It was only the second time that the team that allowed the most points in the regular season even made the playoffs, let alone reach the Final Four and win the title. The only team before this season that allowed the most points during the regular season and then reached the playoffs was Asseco Prokom in 2010. But Prokom also played a Top 16 phase during which its defense ranked seventh.

The 16.5-point swing, from 81.0 points in the regular season to 64.5 points in the postseason helped make Efes the first team this century to allow the most points in all games before the playoffs before locking things up on defense and marching to the EuroLeague title.

Rarely, if ever, has Anadolu Efes Istanbul had trouble scoring points under Coach Ergin Ataman like it did in the championship game, but 58 points turned out to be enough to beat Real Madrid.

Efes wins the crown despite its scoring-low

When the final buzzer on the 2021-22 Turkish Airlines EuroLeague season sounded, Efes was celebrating its title defense after a 57-58 win over Real. What was unusual about Efes’s victory was that it came in such a low-scoring affair.

For one, Efes under Ataman has not been in this position before because the 58 points marked the fewest Efes has scored in a single game over the last four seasons. It is also tied for the fewest points scored in any game under Coach Ergin Ataman, who began his third stint as the team's head coach in December 2017.

The majority of Efes’s players have been with the team since the start of the 2018-19 season. Ten players who dressed for the season opener that campaign are still on the team and helped Efes win back-to-back titles. 

But over that span of four seasons and 146 games, Efes has scored fewer than 60 points just once before this championship game, when it lost 59-77 at home against Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz in December 2020.

Moreover, before the start of the 2022 EuroLeague Playoffs, Ataman's Efes had not won a single game when it scored fewer than 69 points. However, two of the team's biggest wins of the season came that way.

First, in Game 1 of the playoffs, Efes downed AX Armani Exchange Milan on the road 48-64. It then edged Real on Saturday night to lift the crown.

"During the season we were one of the best offensive teams. I don't think there were a lot of games where we scored under 80 points. So, it was a special game today,” center Tibor Pleiss said. “In the end, we were lucky."

Three days after lifting the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague crown, Anadolu Efes Istanbul got back to domestic action, winning a deciding game of their Turkish League playoff quarterfinals series. Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul won its best-of-five semifinals opener.

Domestic roundup, May 24: Efes moves into Turkish semis

### Turkey: Champs move into semis

Efes defeated the visiting Pinar Karsiyaka 83-68 to win their best-of-three series 2-1, and reach the semifinals where it will play Galatasaray Istanbul. Efes jumped in front early on, behind Vasilije Micic, Elijah Bryant and Tibor Pleiss. Latter of which made it 29-18 at the start of the second quarter, but Karsiyaka replied with a 0-7 run. Larkin's triple opened 39-30 late in the second quarter, but Alex Tyus and Tony Taylor helped Karsiyaka cut it to 45-42 at halftime. The visitors tied the game soon in the second half and Efes kept a slim margin until the fourth quarter when Larkin strung together 8 points, including back-to-back three-pointers to open 72-61. Back-to-back threes from Micic and Rodrigue Beaubois opened 78-65 with 2:17 to go, sealing the deal. Micic finished with 18 points and 8 assists, and Larkin also scored 18 in a victory. Pleiss and Bryant scored 13 apiece for Efes. Michael Roll led Karsiyaka with 17 points.

While Efes made it to the semis, Fenerbahce opened its semifinal series by beating Darussafaka Istanbul 94-69. Jan Vesely, Sehmus Hazer and Nando De Colo fueled a 7-0 run that opened a double-digit lead, 42-31, in the second quarter. The visitors cut it to 47-40 at halftime, and got within 52-50 in the third. But Jan Vesely and Marko Guduric kept Fenerbahce in front with a 6-0 run, then Devin Booker hit a triple before Melih Mahmutoglou and Pierria Henry scored to open 66-52 margin. Ismet Akpinar hit one triple to end the scoring in the third quarter, and one to open the scoring in the fourth, extending the margin to 75-56 as Fenerbahce cruised the rest of the way. Mahmutoglou finished with 14 points, while Henry had 10 points, 8 assists and 4 steals. Vesely collected 10 points plus 6 rebounds and Ahmet Duveriouglu 10 points and 6 assists in a victory.

Real Madrid guard Sergio Llull became the all-time leader in assists at the EuroLeague Final Four over the weekend in Belgrade. 

Llull is all-time Final Four leader in assists

Llull arrived in Belgrade ranked third on the all-time charts with 53 Final Four assists. His 3 in the semifinal against FC Barcelona tied him with former teammate Sergio Rodriguez (56) for the second place. With 6 assists in the EuroLeague Championship Game, Llull soared by Theodoros Papaloukas (59) for the all-time lead with 62 assists. The record became his seconds after he entered the game early in the third quarter with a dish for Adam Hanga's three-pointer

The 2022 Final Four was the eighth time Llull played at the pinnacle event on the EuroLeague calendar. His personal best at a Final Four was a 9-assist effort in leading Los Blancos past Fenerbahce Istanbul in the 2015 semifinals in Madrid. That season Llull lifted the first of his two EuroLeague crowns. The 2017 EuroLeague MVP, Llull is also seventh on the all-time assist charts with 1,260.

When he blew his whistle and spread his arms to mark the end of the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague Championship Game on Sunday in Belgrade, Serbia, veteran referee Luigi Lamonica also was signaling the end to his days of running the court and making sure that the games are played cleanly.

Lamonica, 56, was one of the longest-tenured referees on the continent, with this having been his 21st season in Euroleague Basketball competitions. The Final Four in Belgrade marked the 10th time that Lamonica officiated at the event, more than two decades after first doing so, in 2002 in Bologna, Italy.

"Luigi is well known around Europe by coaches, players and fans and has been at the top of the sport for the last 21 years. I have known Luigi longer and, as well as being an excellent referee, he is, as with most top officials, an excellent person," Richard Stokes, Euroleague Basketball's Senior Director of Officiating, said. "He's always ready to give advice, answer questions, mentor younger officials and spend time with basketball people. It has been a pleasure to have him on our staff and his commitment and dedication to his craft have been outstanding. He has been one of the best European referees of his generation and he will always remain part of the EuroLeague's officiating family."

Having started officiating lower division games in his native Italy in the 1980s, Lamonica was promoted to the Italian top flight in 1993. His first international duty came in 1997. In June of 2019, Lamonica was presented with the Order of Merit of the Italian Republic.

Saturday's 57-58 victory by Anadolu Efes Istanbul over Real Madrid was the seventh EuroLeague championship game of Lamonica's career. After serving as crew chief, he revealed that he had blown his whistle for the last time.

"I saw a small group of European teams establishing a new concept of competition on our continent that, year by year, became bigger and bigger, attracting more and more fans and sponsors and not only in Europe, but even worldwide. Now the games are televised on every continent and colleagues from South America, Asia and Oceania look at our games and dream of officiating them. I was able to live that dream for so many years and it made me proud to be one small part of the product," Lamonica said.

"I had an amazing life thanks to officiating and thanks, in particular, to the EuroLeague, which in the last six years, with a real European league, is the strongest and toughest competition in the world after the NBA playoffs."

The final game of the 2021-22 season turned out to be the last in the distinguished career of one of the standard-bearers of Euroleague Basketball's officiating collective.

Anadolu Efes Istanbul became the fourth team in the Final Four era to win back-to-back EuroLeague championships and it did so by leaning heavily on its two biggest stars.

Larkin and Micic lead in minutes, and to the EuroLeague crown

For the first time at the Final Four this century, two players on the title-winning team averaged more than 35 minutes per game. Larkin led all players at the Final Four in Belgrade with 37:23 per game and Final Four MVP Micic was second with 35:40 per game. Larkin spent just over 5 minutes of play on the bench over the entire Final Four weekend and Micic was on the bench for less than 9.

 

There were only two other players who averaged 30 or more minutes per game at the 2022 Final Four: Olympiacos Piraeus All-EuroLeague forward Sasha Vezenkov (33:00) and Efes swingman Elijah Bryant (30:00).

Larkin and Micic at the Final Four

Larkin and Micic, however, entered rare company when it comes to playing heavy minutes and winning the Final Four. There have been only 10 occasions at Final Fours this century that a player has averaged more minutes than Larkin's 37:23 and only four of them did so without playing overtime games. The leaders are Dejan Bodiroga in 2002 with Panathinaikos Athens and Vrbica Stefanov with Montepaschi Siena in 2003, each with 38:30 per game. Ekpe Udoh averaged 37:33 with Fenerbahce Istanbul in 2017 and Bodiroga again in 2003 with FC Barcelona (37:30).

 

The theme of Efes relying heavily on its two All-EuroLeague guards is not new. Larkin and Micic were first and fourth, respectively, in minutes played this season at 31:53 and 30:12. Only seven players averaged more than 30 minutes per game and none of the others were teammates, like Larkin and Micic who became the first teammates to play at least 35 minutes per game while winning the EuroLeague crown.

First tested for two seasons in the mid-1960s and later adopted to crown continental champions from 1988 onward, the Final Four evokes all the suspense of a do-or-die drama. 

Final Four History: All the champions, 1988-2021

For one weekend every year, the eyes of the global basketball community are placed squarely on the Final Four, which has proven itself time and again to be a showcase of the unpredictability, unmatched passion and vibrant color of European basketball. The event has been staged in many of the continent's historic cities, giving fans a combination of superb games and elite culture in one spectacular package.

Final Four History: All the champions, 1988-2022

Vasilije Micic came through in the clutch in both games of the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague Final Four to lead Anadolu Efes Istanbul to its second consecutive championship.

Micic repeats as Final Four MVP!

Micic was named 2021-22 Final Four MVP and joined a very short list of stars to win that trophy in consecutive seasons. He poured in a game-high 23 points with 4 three-pointers and had 2 rebounds and 2 assists in Efes’s hard fought 57-58 win over Real Madrid in the championship game. That came after he collected 15 points, 6 rebounds and 9 assists in the 74-77 semifinal win over Olympiacos Piraeus, which he sealed with a last-second three-pointer to win it.

He became just the fourth player to win back-to-back Final Four MVPs joining Toni Kukoc in 1990 and 1991 with Jugoplastika Split, Dejan Bodiroga in 2002 with Panathinaikos Athens and 2003 with FC Barcelona and Vassilis Spanoulis with Olympiacos Piraeus in 2012 and 2013. It was Spanoulis who handed him the MVP Trophy in the post-game ceremony.

“Thank you every one for being in the gym. Thank you to all the fans who participated in the Final Four. Honestly, I am speechless because four years ago I played here and finished third and I came up short. And this time we won the title,” said Micic after the game, referring to taking third place at the 2018 Final Four with Zalgiris Kaunas in the same Stark Arena where he would celebrate back-to-back crowns with Efes in 2022.

“This one also feels amazing. Still, I’m speechless. These things for all my life will stay with me, forever. It will be a marker in my heart. Again, nothing without my teammates is possible. Four amazing years together, two titles, and this \[MVP\] title, but once again, a team title is more important.

“Tonight, everywhere will be very, very hot, everywhere in Belgrade. I’m going to take all my team together and we will celebrate like never before,” Micic, who spent half his childhood in Belgrade, added almost with a sly grin.
