Hi!

 

Some news from Marcin from his official website www.gortat.net:

 

RheinEnergie lost the game with team from Tubingen 81:72. Marcin Gortat was played 18 minutes and he had 6 points (3/4 FG), 5 rebounds and 4 turnovers. The best player of the game was home team's center-Rasko Katic.

 

-Honestly, we deserved such defeat. Some of our teammates are still thinking, that we are Germany's Champions. Coach Obradovic was disappointed with our game. I couldn't find right rhythm and that's why I had so many turnovers. This week we are going to analyze our game and prepare to next match.- said RheinEnergie center Marcin Gortat.

 

And good information!!!

In the last game RheinEnergie won high 80-59(19:11, 20:14, 24:20,17:14) with TBB Trier. Marcin Gortat helped his team a lot and had double-double.

I'm glad to see he's progressing .Maybe he will be able to come over next year. I definately do not want see Fran any time soon.

Thanks for the updates, Fendi. Its nice to see how our new big man is progressing. He should fit in nicely with Battie on our bench.

This is who we should be talking about not the NANNY and he would be the nanny in that relationship of his.

After match I talk with Marcin and he said that he lost form and he think that now he is fainest point of his team, but in next time he will very hard work!

I like how Gortat's progressing as well, but keep in mind that those numberfs are in the Euroleague/European leagues, which generally are less competitive/strong than the NBA. Nevertheless, though, it's a great sign. Do we have his rights indef b/c he was our 2nd round draft pick?

 

Now, I wouldn't mind Fran coming back. Having another good player or the option to have another player is always good, even if that player did spurn the club at first. If he contributes, I'ld wlecome him.

Marcin yesterday play first match in Euroleague whit Dynamo Moscow.

 

His team lose, but he play good match and in 21 minutes he had 12 (4/5 for and 1/1 for three) points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist.

 

Report about this match from euroleague.net

 

Dynamo Moscow needed to battle for all 40 minutes and get a extra boost from its latest teenage sensation to beat RheinEnergie 75-68 in its brand new Krilatskoe Arena in Group A on Thursday night. Dynamo led 41-21 at halftime, but RheinEnergie rallied in the final period to get within 68-65 with a minute to go. Khvostov, Hansen and Yuri Vasilyev combined for 5 free throws in crunch time to give Dynamo its first Euroleague win

 

Dynamo struck first with Papadopoulos finishing a three-point play inside, his team's first-ever Euroleague points. Mallet answered with a mid-range jumper as RheinEnergie looked to slow down the tempo and use strong defense early. Dynamo missed three times around the basket before Fotsis fed Papadopoulos for a close basket that made it 5-2. Immanuel McElroy drove for a layup and Mallet added a driving basket to give RheinEnergie its first lead, 5-6, and when Fotsis fired in a three-pointer, Martin Gortat answered the same way to keep the guests in front. Dynamo found a go-to guy in Papadopoulos, who scored around the basket and then fed Fotsis for another layup, good for a 12-9 advantage. After a RheinEnergie timeout, Marcus Faison came in to give the guests instant offense, but Hansen slashed for a basket and Papadopoulos added a put-back for a 16-11 Dynamo edge. Mallet scored again and Gortat dunked, but Papadopoulos scored inside and Hansen beat the buzzer from downtown to give Dynamo a 21-15 lead after 10 minutes.

 

As Papadopoulos rested with 2 fouls to begin the second quarter, RheinEnergie took advantage by looking inside to Guido Grunheid and Alvin Jones inside. Jones scored in the paint and started to dominate on defense, but he did not find much help. Ronald Burrell and McElroy missed consecutive shots, while Hansen stepped up with a score and Bojan Popovic fired in a triple from the top of the key to give his team a 26-19 lead. The visitors entered the foul bonus with six minutes to go in the period, and Dynamo tried to play more aggressive to get to the line often. In the resulting possessions, Popovic made free throws, then found space for a layup and soon Papadopoulos scored off a steal to make it a 13-point game. Gortat continued to pace RheinEnergie with a close basket, but Popovic and Papadopoulos answered with more free throws. RheinEnergie struggled to find the way to the basket and Dynamo's second unit took over. Dmitriy Khvostov followed a layup with free throws while Andrey Trushkin hit two more from the foul line to cap a game-breaking 18-2 run, which give Dynamo its biggest lead yet, 41-21, at halftime.

 

Mallet tried to ignite a RheinEnergie comeback with a layup after the break, but Dynamo continued to dominate with strong defense.Yuri Vasilyev buried a jumper from the right wing, which Burrell matched on the other end. Dynamo followed its game plan by attacking the basket and getting back to defend. Khvostov shined with a big basket and free throw, but a very active Burrell answered with a dunk-and-free throw to bring RheinEnergie within 46-28. Jones hit free throws and Faison fought his way to a layup, hit free throws and traded baskets with Popovic, but a three-point play by Hansen kept Dynamo up 52-36. Gortat followed a layup with his second dunk, but free throws by Trushkin and a big three-pointer by Fotsis allowed Dynamo to keep a big margin, 57-43, after 30 minutes.

 

RheinEnergie needed a wild comeback, but Mladjen Sljivancanin and stroke from downtown to give the guests some hope at 59-49. A Dynamo turnover allowed McElroy to score an easy layup, while free throws by Alvin Jones capped a 0-10 run which brought RheinEnergie back into the game, 59-53, with 6 minutes to go. Hansen stepped up with a put-back layup and Khvostov added free throws to give Dynamo Moscow some fresh air at 63-53. Faison provided a highlight with a big dunk but Fotsis bettered him with a put-back basket and another close basket which forced RheinEnergie to call timeout at 67-55. Mallet took over with a triple from the right wing and Faison added a layup-plus-foul which made it a six-point game, 67-61. Papadopoulos could not score against Jones but Faison missed a critical three-point shot in the other end. Hansen made 1 of 2 free throws but Jones dunked it for a 68-63 RheinEnergie deficit already in the final minute. Mallet brought RheinEnerge within striking distance, 68-65, but Khvostov became the game hero with free throws. Popovic collected a critical steal which allowed all Dynamo fans to celebrate a big home win.

 

Marcin said after match: "It was a hard game, especially the first part because we started with a lot of nerves and lots of errors. We have a young team, inexperienced, and we committed too many turnovers. That has cost us a defeat, even though in the second half we improved. I hope that this game will serve to correct our errors for the upcoming games."

I still wish he was here this year, hope the team gave him the same lifting plan that Dwight and Darko are on in the meantime.

That's surprising, I didn't realise he had 3pt range. I thought his offensive game was still pretty raw.
