He was something very different. It was a good type of different as Nick Calathes led Fenerbahce to a crucial win in the Euroleague playoffs.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>For over a decade, we\u2019ve gotten used to taking the bad with the good when it comes to Nick Calathes. On Wednesday night, the Fenerbahce man showed that doesn\u2019t have to be the case. In a brilliantly efficient performance, he guided his team to a crucial win in the Euroleague playoffs against AS Monaco.<\/p>\n<h4>Who is this guy?<\/h4>\n<p>Nothing about this performance was the Nick Calathes we know. He shot 6 of 10 from the field, taking and making just one three pointer. There were 5 assists and 2 steals, with just a single turnover. The tally was good, not eye-popping but still very good, and efficient.<\/p>\n<p>This is not the guy that never saw a three ball he didn\u2019t think he could make. This wasn\u2019t the wild man passer who would give up a few turnovers while loading up on silly assist numbers. No, what we saw was a man who has adjusted his game with age.<\/p>\n<p>It came later than we might have thought. That doesn\u2019t bother me, I loved getting every season of wild Calathes. Still, his timing of this adjustment couldn\u2019t have come at a better time for Fenerbahce. In the type of game where a competitor might feel the urge to force it more, Calathes was calm. That was vital to them taking Game 3 of the Euroleague playoffs against AS Monaco.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"http:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- In Post Ad by Rob --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-8330822894995250\" data-ad-slot=\"1076584095\" data-ad-format=\"auto\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<h4>Yet he is still himself<\/h4>\n<p>Things change as we get older. Given I was made redundant from my day job in December, I get that more than most. Still, knowing what to do when life hits you with changes isn\u2019t easy. That\u2019s particularly true when you have been so used to certain things working.<\/p>\n<p>In the post game, Calathes was his usual self. He\u2019s never been shy with a microphone in front of him but he\u2019s also not a big talker. Calathes got to the point, saying his play was adjusted to the game plan and he found a way to make it work.<\/p>\n<p>Wednesday night against AS Monaco was not an isolated incident. Calathes was a little wild with his handle in the second game of this Euroleague playoffs series but he has been consistently more selective than usual with his shooting. He also has just 1.8 turnovers per game this season, compared to a career average of 3.7. The player Fenerbahce needs right now is a more controlled version of Calathes. That he has shown the way to do that while still being a brilliant passer is no small achievement in the 15th year of his career.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>BallinEurope is ramping up its YouTube game this season. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/ballineurope\" rel=\"noopener\" >Subscribe to our channel now<\/a> for player exclusives, analysis videos, and much more.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<h4>Control is the name of the game<\/h4>\n<p>It\u2019s not just Nick Calathes. Sarunas Jasikevicius has several players who have it within them to go to hero ball. Scottie Wilbekin, Marko Guduric, Nigel Hayes-Davis, and even Tarik Biberovic are the types of scorers that have the confidence to do so. Biberovic, while the youngest of the bunch, was notable in how reserved he was. A joyous spark for Fener this season, he took just 8 shots in the whole game. Even when he was looking ready to explode in the first half, Biberovic held it in.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_26308\" style=\"width: 1930px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-26308\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ballineurope.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Calathes-changes.jpg\" alt=\"Life changes.

Not everyone accepts that. Nick Calathes has and that&#8217;s made him more valuable to Fenerbahce.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Nobody took more than 10 shots for Fenerbahce against AS Monaco on Wednesday night. Everything was about control and efficiency. Saras realises that a wild west shootout favours the opponent in these Euroleague playoffs. He doesn\u2019t need cowboys out there, he needs chess players.<\/p>\n<p>This approach has clearly got buy-in from the players. When Calathes can lead by example and show that he won\u2019t hog the ball, others will follow. Nobody has earned the right to say \u201cmy ball\u201d on this Fener team more. It\u2019s a sacrifice that is benefiting the whole.<\/p>\n<p><b><i>BallinEurope has a book, a real life actual book called I Like it Loud, and you can buy it on Amazon now.

Nick Calathes is a long way past the kid I saw being interviewed after the 2011 Greek finals on a stream of questionable legality. Back then he really hadn\u2019t got the memo that shaving his head would make him look younger. Don\u2019t worry Nick, it took me another 2 years to realise that my hair was grey and not still mostly brown.<\/p>\n<p>There is a joy in a baller raging against the years. Those that seek to defy their body and keep playing the game that made us fall in love with watching them. Even though he somehow only has a single Euroleague championship to his name, you can\u2019t write the story of the competition without him.<\/p>\n<p>Here, at Fenerbahce where he is a lot closer to retirement than his rookie days, Calathes has figured it out. He\u2019s a veteran who hasn\u2019t ignored what made him but adjusted his game to who he is now. The timing really couldn\u2019t be better. It\u2019s clearly proving a nightmare for AS Monaco.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ballineurope.com\/nick-calathes-has-found-his-perfect-role-at-the-perfect-time-for-fenerbahce-8419\/\">Nick Calathes has found his perfect role at the perfect time for Fenerbahce<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ballineurope.com\/\">BallinEurope<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<h2><b>Commercials Cooperation Advertisements:<\/b><\/h2>\r\n<p><br>(1) IT Teacher IT Freelance<br> <\/p>\r\n<a href=https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress><img src=http:\/\/gamefootballmobileanimeiphone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/ITTeacherITFreelance-Website.png alt=IT\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2 java\u88dc\u7fd2 \u70ba\u5927\u5bb6\u914d\u5c0d\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2,IT freelance, \u79c1\u4eba\u8001\u5e2b, PHP\u88dc\u7fd2,CSS\u88dc\u7fd2,XML,Java\u88dc\u7fd2,MySQL\u88dc\u7fd2,graphic design\u88dc\u7fd2,\u4e2d\u5c0f\u5b78ICT\u88dc\u7fd2,\u4e00\u5c0d\u4e00\u79c1\u4eba\u88dc\u7fd2\u548cFreelance\u81ea\u7531\u5de5\u4f5c\u914d\u5c0d\u3002\/><\/a><p><a href=https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/findteacher>\u7acb\u523b\u8a3b\u518a\u53ca\u5831\u540d\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2\u8ab2\u7a0b\u5427! <\/a><br>\r\n\r\n\u7535\u5b50\u8ba1\u7b97\u673a -\u6559\u80b2 -IT \u96fb\u8166\u73ed\u201d ( IT\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2 ) \u63d0\u4f9b\u4e00\u500b\u65b9\u4fbf\u7684\u7535\u5b50\u8ba1\u7b97\u673a \u6559\u80b2\u5e73\u53f0, \u70ba\u5927\u5bb6\u914d\u5c0d\u4fe1\u606f\u6280\u672f, \u96fb\u8166 \u8001\u5e2b, IT freelance \u548c programming expert. \u8b93\u5927\u5bb6\u65b9\u4fbf\u5730\u5c31\u80fd\u627e\u5230\u5408\u9069\u7684\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2, \u96fb\u8166\u73ed, \u5bb6\u6559, \u79c1\u4eba\u8001\u5e2b.  <br>\r\n\r\nWe are a education and information platform which you can find a IT private tutorial teacher or freelance. <br>\r\n\r\nAlso we provide different information about information technology, Computer, programming, mobile, Android, apple, game, movie, anime, animation\u2026 \r\n<\/p>\n<p><br>(2) ITSec<br> <\/p><a href=https:\/\/itsec.vip><img src=http:\/\/gamefootballmobileanimeiphone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/ITSec-Main-Promotion-Image.png alt= https:\/\/itsec.vip\/\r\nSecure Your Computers from Cyber Threats and mitigate risks with professional services to defend Hackers.  \r\nITSec provide IT Security and Compliance Services, including IT Compliance Services, Risk Assessment, IT Audit, Security Assessment and Audit, ISO 27001 Consulting and Certification, GDPR Compliance Services, Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA), Penetration test, Ethical Hacking, Vulnerabilities scan, IT Consulting, Data Privacy Consulting, Data Protection Services, Information Security Consulting, Cyber Security Consulting, Network Security Audit, Security Awareness Training.\/><\/a> \r\n<br><br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/itsec.vip>www.ITSec.vip<\/a> <br> <br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/sraa.com.hk>www.Sraa.com.hk<\/a> <br> <br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/itsec.hk>www.ITSec.hk<\/a> <br> <br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/penetrationtest.hk>www.Penetrationtest.hk<\/a> <br> <br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/itseceu.uk>www.ITSeceu.uk<\/a> <br> <br> \r\nSecure Your Computers from Cyber Threats and mitigate risks with professional services to defend Hackers. <br><br>\r\nITSec provide IT Security and Compliance Services, including IT Compliance Services, Risk Assessment, IT Audit, Security Assessment and Audit, ISO 27001 Consulting and Certification, GDPR Compliance Services, Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA), Penetration test, Ethical Hacking, Vulnerabilities scan, IT Consulting, Data Privacy Consulting, Data Protection Services, Information Security Consulting, Cyber Security Consulting, Network Security Audit, Security Awareness Training. \r\n<br><br>Contact us right away. <br><br>Email (Prefer using email to contact us): <br>SalesExecutive@ITSec.vip<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"667\" height=\"667\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ballineurope.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Calathes-Game-3-vs-Monaco-667x667.jpg\" class=\"attachment-post-image size-post-image wp-post-image\" alt=\"Nick Calathes has changed his game for Fenerbahce.
