Euroleague day 24
Forrest received the ball, discounted to Núñez and rose above Parker to turn on and resolve the game in three seconds and please a Baskonia (88-86) that showed to have seven lives. Enough to dismantle and superiority.
Barça’s staging was tuxedo, aggressive defense and robberies to show that it is the best thief from Europe, also a team that likes to run in transitions. And although the baskonia accepted the challenge -which was evidenced with baskets of the little ones and anonymity of the gigantones -, did not know how to throw the loop to Satoransky. The Czech is an irregular player, of bursts and times, sometimes unknown to the parquet and in other effervescent, a typhoon without remission. And that did in the first act, suspended baskets, trays, a triple and even a mate, a full-rule exhibition that, however, was not indigestible for Baskonia (23-25 when closing the prologue) because he knew how to take advantage of the Indolence of the second Barca unit and because Forrest, Luwawu-Cabarrot and Forrest were defined with the penetrations to show that Fall is as high as unfortunate when the tickle are sought. A ownership that points to Willy Hernángomez, who continues without Peñarroya’s confidence; which also explains that without Vese (injured of the knee) in the paint there is no muscle or brega in the defense in the bottle.
But the problem of Barça, proclaims Peñarroya with persistence and the four winds, is the short template and, above all, the lack of a base that occupies the place of the injured Laprovittola, a request on the list of the kings that is not completed, Discarded Heurtel by the pull that the fans had and banished. Tara that, in any case, Satoransky discredited from the start. Although Brizuela’s take off, which based on stellar actions and points is winning the gallons and compliments, in addition to minutes. Condition that replied in the Buesa Arena when the opponent appeared the leg through the door, six runs next to the appearance of, plastic and effective. Baffled that they made to Baskonia row again, unattached Howard in the launch, but reliable Samanic and Hall under the hoop as Forrest with their entrances to the basket to rummage in the Barca sore. That and the aim from the outskirts of Rogkavopoulos enough to twist to Barça and erase an advantage of 12 points, 44-46 to the inter-ever.
It happened then that they are the ones who play the most and the ones who throw the most, often selfish because they understand American basketball, glare attacks and something else butterfly. Although Satoransky had the day and did not want it to be in bucket, rebounds and also assists, all in one to keep the pulse of a baskonia that lengthened the attacks and put all the triples that failed initially (Baldwin, Moneke, Luwawu-Cabarrot ). An uncertain final battle (65-64) that was summoned for the last act.
With the clock, discounting minutes, the teams lost their fluidity, as if their arm shrunk or weighed their responsibility, only Forrest and Moneke played with a layer while Hall imposed their law in the areas, as it counted up to four plugs and He stressed in the rival basket with rebounds and points. Problems to, paid with Forrest, Moneke and (at last) Howard as snipers, even though Núñez set a sensational act, direction and points. And, although Pinter scored the draw in the penultimate sigh in the absence of three seconds, Forrest put the sentence to the joy of a Baskonia who could with his ear -in four of his last six Euroleague games he had lost for 1 or 2 points- And finally look up at the Euroleague. For restlessness, incidentally, of a Barça that is not found.
