In addition, O\u2019Bryant went 7\/8 from beyond the arc, had 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals while Alex Tyus scored 16 points and pulled down 8 rebounds in the win. Milano featured 6 players in double digits including Nemanja Nedovic led Simone Pianigiani\u2019s squad with 17 points, Mike James and Vladimir Micov chipped in with 16 points a piece while Jeff Brooks added 13 points in the loss.<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Maccabi FOX Tel Aviv - AX Armani Exchange Olimpia Milan Highlights | Turkish Airlines EuroLeague RS Round 15\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"1080\" height=\"607\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dailymotion.com\/embed\/video\/x6zm5x4\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay\"><\/iframe><br \/>\nMaccabi jumped out to a 7-2 lead with Kane dropping 5 quick points but Milano turned up the heat with a pair of smart Nedovic 3-pointers to give the visitor\u2019s a 18-10 lead, forcing Sfairopoulus to call a timeout to settle his troops.

O\u2019Bryant drained a turnaround jumper on the baseline and then hit a 3-pointer giving him 30 points on the night, tying the game up at 83-83 with 5:24 left in the contest.

What can we say about him? He was an absolute rockstar on the floor tonight for Maccabi scoring 32 points and recording an efficiency rating of 44!  <strong>Wilbekin<\/strong> spoke about #3\u2019s performance, \u201cHe was unstoppable. We kept feeding him and he kept scoring and making the right decisions. It was fun to watch him out there.\u201d <strong>Kane<\/strong> took a more fatherly figure approach to O\u2019Bryant\u2019s game, \u201cWow. Johnny\u2019s a guy who can fill it up any night. We see it in practice and we know what he\u2019s capable of, it\u2019s up to him. He\u2019s a little brother to me and I know what he can bring to the table, but it\u2019s up to him. When he\u2019s aggressive on defense his offense is better and he\u2019s more locked in. I try to tell him that all the time, don\u2019t lack on defense and think you\u2019re going to score on offense cause it\u2019s not going to happen. Today you\u2019d seen it, he\u2019s out there blocking shots, rebounding, get the ball and he\u2019s in a rhythm to knock down the shot and that\u2019s what he did today, he had a great game, amazing game.\u201d<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_12500\" style=\"width: 990px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/96E61E83-60D6-435B-B89A-40D54EA251D4.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12500\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/96E61E83-60D6-435B-B89A-40D54EA251D4.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"980\" height=\"551\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12500\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-12500\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Maccabi.co.il<\/p><\/div><br \/>\n2) <strong>Jonnny O\u2019Bryant II<\/strong>. The Maccabi big man was very modest after the game and took a low key approach to his play while complimenting his squad, \u201cMy teammates trusted me to make plays and make shots and I can\u2019t thank them enough. I got hot and hit shots. I\u2019m just trying to do whatever it takes to win.\u201d Milano also featured a number of bigs who were vey physical over the 31+ minutes that O\u2019Bryant was on the court, \u201cThey got some really good big guys and some 7 footers which were tough to deal with down there. It was a dog fight and we came out on top. I\u2019m really proud of my team and we got to keep fighting.\u201d Between O\u2019Bryant\u2019s 32 points and Alex Tyus\u2019s 16 points, 7 rebounds and 3 blocks in roughly 30 minutes the two made Tarik Black\u2019s absence feel negligible as the center was out with a fever. In fact, many will overlook Tyus\u2019s performance because of O\u2019Bryant\u2019s career night, but truth be told #9 put in some very important minutes and the game winning free throws to give Maccabi the victory. <\/p>\n<p>3) <strong>Johnny O\u2019Bryant III.<\/strong> I asked <strong>Coach Sfairopoulos<\/strong> about giving O\u2019Bryant the liberty and freedom to take shots and he spoke about that he not only wants O\u2019Bryant to take the shot when he\u2019s open but the same is true for all of his teammates, \u201cIt\u2019s not only Johnny that I give him confidence and freedom to shoot the ball. I want every player who has a good option to shoot the ball after we\u2019ve moved around the back and they are open to shoot the ball. Most of his options were not forced except maybe one or two which he missed and then I took him out to rest, concentrate himself and then go back again. I\u2019m not the type of coach that says that says certain players shouldn\u2019t shoot some players should shoot. I want the team to work together offensively to find the open player to shoot the ball. When you are open you need to shoot the ball. For sure when you are hot we push the game to those players and this is what happened with Johnny.\u201d<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_12497\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/C9ECFD5A-76AF-4B22-9D47-88652770AF39.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12497\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/C9ECFD5A-76AF-4B22-9D47-88652770AF39-1024x682.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" class=\"size-large wp-image-12497\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-12497\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Euroleague.net<\/p><\/div><br \/>\n<strong>Overtime<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Mike James.<\/strong> He almost signed with Maccabi over the summer but ended up choosing Milano and he played for Hapoel Galil Elyon back in 2013, so there was no question that he wasn\u2019t going to try and show his worth back in Israel. It was <strong>DeAndre Kane<\/strong> who was tasked with shutting him down and even though he scored 16 points and 8 assists, the all world defender forced James out of his comfort zone, \u201cMike James is a great player. He\u2019s going to miss and make shots and I wanted to make it as difficult as possible from the beginning of the game, not let him get comfortable and get to his spots and get easy shots. Our bigs did a great job when he came off of screens; Johnny, Jake, Alex and Angelo were there to help me fight back over to get back in front of him.

For the redord the zebras definitely let the players play but they did call an even game with Maccabi being called for 20 fouls and 16 free throws to Milan\u2019s 19 fouls and 15 free throws. <\/p>\n<p>I asked Coach Pianigiani about James and what he brings to the team (below) and he did not even mention that he felt that he didn\u2019t get any calls. So Mike, relax. You can\u2019t win them all.<\/p>\n<p><strong>And-1 and some<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Coach Sfairopoulos<\/strong> also discussed how his team was able to stop James, \u201cEven though Johnny scored 32 points it was the defense of DeAndre on James. He scored 16 points and had 8 assists but I think that a lot of times we disorganized their game and our defense was forcing them to do things that they weren\u2019t in their habits. They had six players in double digits but the defense on him was important to keep the leader out of the crucial moments of the game and out of scoring. You saw we played good defense as Brooks took the last shot instead of James, Jerrells and Micov who are clutch shooters at the end.\u201d<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_12496\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/85F35AFA-DEE9-4EF3-BBBC-A1A776F2A5B5.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12496\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/85F35AFA-DEE9-4EF3-BBBC-A1A776F2A5B5-1024x717.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"717\" class=\"size-large wp-image-12496\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-12496\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Euroleague.net<\/p><\/div><br \/>\n<strong>Coach Pianigiani had kind words for James<\/strong>, \u201cHe\u2019s a huge player for us.
