The last day of the International Tournament EA7 in Santa Margherita Ligure started with the 7/8 place Final between Tigullo Sport Team and Union Olimpja Ljubjana with an inspired Haris Cucovic (C, 205 cm, 1998) that ended the game with 24 points showing interesting offensive skills like low post moves but with the persistent inclination to play outside the paint forcing his three points shot. Jurij Macura (G, 192 cm, 1999) from Ljubjana is still raw but a skinny body with long arms and a good feeling for the game are a solid base to build an intriguing future. In the 5/6 place Final Assigecp Casalpusterlengo overcome Armani Junior Milano in a thrilling last minute thanks to 2 points basket from Andrea Bianchi (G, 178 cm, 1998) with Francesco Badocchi (SF, 196 cm, 1998) from Milano that showed an explosive physical/muscular structure and a important technical upside. In the 3/4 place Final Stellazzurra Basketball Academy thanks to 22 points from the Italian guard Davide Moretti (PG, 188 cm, 1998) and 14 points from Serbian playmaker Lazar Nikolic (PM, 200 cm, 1999) won against Partizan Beograd. The Serbian team had foul problems with its leader Sava Dukic (PG, 185 cm, 1998) that came out with a good performance in the minutes that he spent on the court, same problems also for the big man Srecko Gasic (C, 205 cm, 1998) meanwhile Tadija Tadic (PG, 188 cm, 1999) is still raw and a little bit shy to carry the team. In the Championship Final Real Madrid defeated Montepaschi Siena with the final result of 84-64 with an incredible performance from the MVP of the tournament Luka Doncic (G, 194 cm, 1999) that ended the game with 37 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists and an incredible 8/10 from three points. Lorenzo Bucarelli (G, 196 cm, 1998) with 36 points tried to lead Siena to a comeback in the last 2 quarters of the game but the dunks and the rebounds from Samba Thiago (C, 201 cm, 1998) that ended the game with 12 points and 8 rebounds and the smartness and the effectiveness from Acoydan McCharthy (G, 195 cm, 1999) that ended with 13 points gave a well deserved victory.
