Funambulista since the course began, required by the serious lesions of Laprovittola – the authentic orchestra director – Núñez and conditioned by a stunted basketball that has led him to accumulate 25 embroidy stammed in the course and a dialed one to remember, Barça took a morrocotuda joy after declassing to the virtus boltus. It has been enough for sound triumphs () to achieve safe -conduct for the playoffthe pass also to measure with the monaco, although with the court factor against, for a hole for the Final Four from Abu Dhabi from May 23 to 25. It is not, however, the only Spanish team that is requested to play at the European basketball party, as Madrid says present from the second step.
It turns out that six won wins, far from the meager version of the course of course, when he counted the meetings away from home for defeat. But Chus Mateo asked for calm and time, rebuild the team after the hierarchical casualties of Rudy or Sergio Rodríguez, also keys such as Yabusele, and the white team has taken color and shape, again a mirror of European basketball. Although its sprint Final has not earned him to reach the playoffultimately used by the triumphs of Barça and Epes, assembled in seventh position to dispute the play-in next day 15 against Paris at the Wizink. To win, it will be cited in the playoffs With Fenerbahçe, second of the Euroleague. To lose, he would play on the 18th to the winner of the other duel of play-in With the last place for the next phase in Liza, which gives a ticket to beat with the Olympiacos, the phase champion in the competition.
Again uncovered from Europe ahead of time, lost in the table (the 14th of 18 teams), without muscle or rotations to combine Europe with the League. That is a reserved preserve for the two greats of the ACB. For now, for Barça, which before the Virtus managed to give up the size in hot moments, and perhaps for Real Madrid, which will be seen with Paris.
The duel of the Palau with frenzy began, where the attack was imposed on the defense, with shots and successes, points and more points, a joy for the view and a despair for the coaches, who released outsurrects at the same time claimed more intensity and less facilities. Anderson took advantage of that to explain once again that the secondary actors are not so much in this Barça, now the American, formerly Parra, at first Brizuela. But Clyburn replicated from the outskirt while Zizc was looking for him (and not always successfully) the tickle to Hernangómez in the bottle, baskets everywhere. Although the doll was twisted both in the shots and in the passes, multiplication of errors and losses-it is Italian and five Catalans-, a disinfle from which Barcelona, 23-16 when closing the first act.
Sorry of Europe, the virtus after a stunted, penultimate exercise in the table, soon overcame the Barca effervescence, the will and enthusiasm of the one who has something at stake. He snorted and resigned the illustrious Dusko Ivanovic from the bench, once again tried Cordinier and Pajola to put the team in the game, a plan that never fails. But in the last dates, a player who has confident has won centimeters, speed and aim, the giant awakening. It was applauded by the Palau as well as the return of Vesely, which made 19 games that did not tied the shoes, referential pivot and true mood leader of Barcelona, medium-distance basket as likes and mate, a return to be to reach the inter-everlaw with a suggestive income (45-38).
Cordinier and Clyburn protested on the return to parquet, but Anderson, Satoransky and Púnter, who had one of those days, stratospheric from the periphery, did not put the other cheek, making that idea of Joan Peñarroya good that he has finally curdled, at the bad weather good face, before the absences he becomes a team, all for one for all The balls. A small script change – because of course, as the best of the team that they are, they are still the ones that execute the most launches – that has given revenues to the team. Also against the Virtus, no matter how much the rival, Clyburn and Holiday in front. 71-65 In the absence of an act, that of the European confirmation of Barcelona.
The virtus came out with the turbo on, again with another triple from Morgan and with the defense for flag, electricity that was indigestible to Barcelona and that put the envite of the setback, and five points ahead of the Italians. Decomposed faces and hands on the eyes, nerve fans in the Palau. Peñarroya had no choice but to get Palestra to Parker, who, for a day, did not make one right -wing, crooked doll. But a mate of Hernangómez, plus the appearance of Brizuela returned to Barça to the meeting, 87-87 in the absence of a minute. The virtus and Barça failed a triple, with two interior passes, from Parker to Vesely and the Czech to Parra, took the lead. And, in a defense that was worth a playoffBarça returned, the team, to cause the steps of the rival., To think about the Final Four.
