The Mónaco Maltratta Barça at the beginning of the series | Basket | Sport

A room resisted in Barcelona in the Civettuolo and Gentile pavilion, a monaguco. The rest of the game, with the exception of a good reaction in the second section, was clearly in the hands of From mónacowho started the series better than five games with an indisputable triumph (97-80) which allows him to take the command in front of a team by Joan Peñarroya with allergy to defend and very lost in attack. It wasn’t his day. Friday you will have the opportunity to redeem and look for a triumph that allows you to save the draw in Barcelona.

The first assault of this quarter of crossbar, fourth against the fifth, as a monk against BarcelonaHe faced two teams with a clear offensive vocation. Two sets that tend to look for triumphs thanks to what has been noticed before what they work in their basket. The proposal included a company at the foot of Kevin Punter, who scored three triples in a row to open the way at the beginning of the game.

This Barça seemed to have forgotten his traumas This season and the weeks in which objectives like this seemed impossible: crossing the bridge towards the final 4. But the team managed to turn it, accelerate and end in a great state right in the critical moment.

The worst moment of the game came after a bad exit from the boat in the second quarter. A jam in the fluidity of his game that exploited the monk to make more in defense and approve his rival a partial of those who brill (21-2), an outbreak of inspiration and trust that pushed him to the 14 points ahead (41-27). Peñarroya’s quintet collapsed in attack with two miserable free shots marked in the first six minutes of the second quarter.

Peñarroya did not panic. The technician knew he was two teams of gusts and that everything that goes up falls down. The reaction was activated by the fall of Yousoufa. The huge Senegalese pivot reached a basket with a further free kick and in the following action stole a ball that the Brizuela turned into three points. As soon as the Catalan painting took breath and the fright was removed, he was able to run again and, in some attacks, approach again on the scoreboard (44-40). Fall, with nine points, without a failure in the filming, and many other rebounds in the first half (closed the day with 13 goals and 14 waste), was erected in the Barcelona lighthouse.

Another strip of monk, always guided by Elie Okobo, re -test of those of Piecewho no longer had enough with the centimeters and the success of the fall. The technician has not finished finding the key. His team does not have a defensive habit and in attack, except when he could run, he was too intermittent. Vassilis Spanoulis as a whole began to feel comfortable. Mike James continued with his drip and defense score, the Principality team knew very well how to disturb Barça, who ended up coming out of the game too early. This allowed Monaco to stretch up to 19 points ahead (80-61) and to condemn the first duel too early.
