THE PRIDE AND THE LOSSES
Carles Duran Three said the first game that his team had not made a playoff game. With the lesson well learned, Joventut conspired to equal, and surpass, the intensity of Barça.
The green-and-black coach bet on not making defensive changes, and the bet worked out well for him. Until the break, the game was even and spectacular. Constant alternatives and spectacular individualities. But Barça finished with 9 lost balls and the consequent easy baskets of their rival, and Joventut lost only one.
The feeling was that the pace and ambition were clearly favorable to Penya. Barça was diluted little by little, and in the resumption everything was clear and decided. A black-green gale. While those of Saras were still stretching, the men of Duranwith the necessary pride to play this type of duels, snacked on their rivals and headed straight for victory.
Barca continued to lose possessions and La Penya took advantage of it to run, score easy baskets, and bring out the colors of those from Saras. Joventut closed his painting well, floated to Calathes Y exum, and was even able to nail a series of blocks that ended up intimidating Barça’s inside game. Barça fought until the end, but La Penya had more desire and ambition. Receiving 87 points at the Palau says it all.
THE BASES AND TOMIC
The Croatian pivot was the ultimate stiletto. He snacked on Barça’s interiors when and how he wanted. he had in Birgander an ideal complement with which they blurred Davis Y Smiths, zero points between the two, and, in general, dominated the paint at will. incomprehensible about Davis. But, Penya’s victory began to take shape in the base position.
In particular, I would highlight an incisor Happy. He did not have his day in the first game, but today he was unstoppable. Brash, fast, aggressive and forceful. Calathessix lost balls, could not with him at any time.
But they were no less transcendent basses, thirteen points in 12′, and Vives. A demonic triangle. Before them, the Blaugrana game direction made waters. laprovittola is missing in the series and Jokubaitis he wants, but, if the scenario is not favorable, he is not capable of changing the dynamics of the meeting. Calathes “make up” his numbers in the final room, but he was never the Blaugrana benchmark.
mirotic was intermittent, while Parra overflowed effervescence at all times. A 1-1 that reflects what has been experienced. La Penya was able to learn from his mistakes in the first duel, and a Barça that I suppose knows that without suffering they cannot go to the final. Everything open in Badalona.
