After the hard blow received in Kaunas, Barça surprised Real Madrid with two exercises of extreme competitiveness to stay just one victory away from recovering the Endesa League scepter, precisely against the rival who took it from them twelve months ago. The Spanish basketball classic has recovered all its splendor thanks to the resurgence of Barca, a team that seemed difficult to bet on after once again volatilizing in a final four.
Jasikevicius’s men have been able to minimize the enormous potential that the European champion shows with two collective functions of those to put in basketball schools, which have allowed them to add the first two wins. And all of it, under the effects of Hurricane Mirotic, raised to the altars by dedicated fans, but which in other times would have been a cataclysm for sports performance. “Everyone has been able to see how he is playing to win the title, then he will think about the future,” Kyle Kuric remarked in the previous one.
Barça travels to the capital of Spain in search of the definitive triumph that will give them the title and abort a second Partizan case. Neither in the ACB has anyone ever raised a 2-0 up to now. If he doesn’t succeed, he would have a second chance on Thursday, still at WiZink, and even a third, on Sunday back at the Palau.
But this third game of the final playoff is guaranteed strong emotions. Madrid has activated all its machinery to try to sign what would be a historic comeback. For the moment, the arbitration trio has already been highly marked by various sectors of Real Madrid after the second game.
The protests, both from the players and the bench, including two techniques, were evident during the match but, at the end, according to various sources, the revelry continued in the changing room area. Barça sources speak of serious insults from Rudy Fernández to the referees or of material breakage by Yabusele. “We know which team we’re playing against, they’ve won a lot and have a lot of experience,” Kuric pointed out.
Be that as it may, tonight curves are coming on Goya street. Curves that keep the fan hooked on television. Also, no one wants to miss what may be Mirotic’s last game with Barça.
