Barça makes the Chiopos Lleida party bitter – with a lot of suffering –

Almost twenty years later, the Endesa League returned to Lleida. and the Catalan capital lived up to it. The match was long sold out and the stage was set for a first victory, but Barça eventually used logic and quality to triumph over Hiopos Lleida. 74-78.

Although the start was as the locals wanted, something soon went wrong. First basket of the game, work Luka Bozicit was the perfect start. The entire Burris Nord, packed to the brim, exploded with the basket of the Croatian, who starred in a personal duel with Jabari Parker which left the Bordeaux team – and by extension the local team – severely damaged. Turning the match into a duel of personalities was the ideal scenario for Barça: two trebles from Kevin Panther The Azulgranas’ internal strength gave Barça their first significant lead, and the first quarter ended with a goal. 12-17 which showed problems in attacking locals.

Barca’s muscles and physique continued to show in the second quarter. Despite the mobility OriolaHe Willy Hernangomez whistled strangely They took over the territory and with it the lead increased (12-21)… and Lleida reacted. Unsportsmanlike Walden This was just a prelude to what was to come as the former Barca player Pauli He tied the game at 21, sending Barris North into a frenzy, but the decibel rise was as impressive as it was ephemeral. WITH Justin Anderson hyperactive and Fall Being the master of the zone, Barça managed to dampen the mood of the local residents and take the lead on the scoreboard (23-32).

It wasn’t the most attractive game in the world, so… Jabari Parker He was tasked with putting the show into matte form to show that the visit to the locker room was much better for the visitors. Fall, Parra, Willy… All Barça players took advantage of their opportunities and the lead was always closer to double figures than a draw. The third quarter turned into a street race with inaccuracies on both sides, with the big news coming from Peñarroy’s bench. The Barça coach invited two hitherto unseen players to the match. It seemed that the Terrassa coach would decide to use only ten players after the game in Kaunas, but the inclusion Meta And Abrines brought back normality to Barça’s rotation. His presence in the game didn’t change the tone much: there was a lot of haste, little success, and nerves were running high. (Peñaroya’s technique for protesting for all the reasons in the world)although there was news about the closure of the quarter. Barça ended the first 30 minutes with a goal the first double-digit lead (46-57 after Brizuela’s two plus one).

Overcoming the psychological barrier was a heavy blow for Gerard Find’s team, but not all was lost. Despite what I saw The gap was 19 points with the score 53-72 already in the last quarter.this is how it started almost a miracle.
