This journalist was willing to write about the wonderful, surprising and unbelievable first NBA quarterfinals disputes so as not to depress the rare reader and the rare reader with the CBF and his horrors.
Even as a tribute to so many years, between 1993 and 2005, sports editor of this SheetMelchiades Filho, who wrote about basketball.
The unexpected defeats of Cleveland Cavaliers and Boston Celtics at home to Indiana Pacers and the New York Knicks of unlikely turns and the last seconds; Stephen Curry’s spectacular performances, still in the octaves, who disgracefully was injured in Minnesota and is doubtful for the playoff sequence; And the nine three -point baskets in 11 attempts by Buddy Hield in game 7, also in the round of 16, against Houston Rockets, were more than enough reasons to put football a little aside.
This happens Internazionale 4, Barcelona 3, in the almost centenary San Siro Stadium, for the Championship semifinals.
Still stunned with the game that Inter won 2-0, took the turn of 3-2 at the end, tied in the additions with a defender’s goal, on counterattack, and turned in overtime to qualify for the final, and eliminate the zap on his cell phone: “A suggestion for their next column: who think of writing on the line. ‘ Pulling this unbelievable semifinal as a hook. Only one suggestion, of course, “wrote editor Fábio Haddad.
Yes, it looks like a lie, it has.
Duvideodó who will continue to disagree if he has seen the 120 minutes of pure ecstasy lived in Milan, crowned by torrential rain sent by San Pietro, a day before the Vatican conclave, certainly less exciting than the great European classic between Milanese and Catalans.
What was what happened in San Siro?
Again, as in the first leg in Barcelona, Inter made 2-0, again gave the draw, again regular time ended 3 to 3, with the difference that in Spain, who made the 3-2 were the Italians and, in Italy, the Spaniards.
Spaniards who saw goalkeeper Sommer make the biggest defenses of this century on face face to face with Barça striker when he was 2-1 and get the brilliant lamine yamal to avoid the 4-4. Without talking about the ball sent by Yamal when it was already 3 to 2, seconds before 3 to 3.
Master Armando Nogueira wrote that “basketball was invented by God and is administered by the devil” and Mauro Cezar Pereira says that “football is the best invention of man.”
Hard to say which one causes stronger emotions.
Basketball produces them most frequent.
Football, precisely by producing them with restraint, promotes the largest, because there are hours in which it decides to imitate and overcome basketball, leaving them to the end, as happened in the decision of the World Cup in Qatar and now, twice in a row, between Inter and Barça.
Lord Editor, always suggest. Without embarrassment.
And thank you too, basketball and, above all, football.
May the gods of gyms and stadiums bless them today, tomorrow and always. Amen.
(What now? There is no room for PSG x Arsenal).
