Barça falls to Manresa and Real Madrid escapes

MADRID, 9 One. (EUROPA PRESS) –

Real Madrid beat Joventut (71-90) this Sunday and escaped into the leadership of the Endesa League by taking advantage of the defeat (95-96) in Barça’s extra time against BAXI Manresa who achieved their first victory at the Palau Blaugrana since nineteen ninety six.

Knowing that culé setback, the white team did not miss the option of getting 15-1 at the top and scoring four wins for their greatest pursuer. Pablo Laso’s men triumphed in Badalona with a great second half, despite the last local blows.

Guerschon Yabusele celebrated his renewal this Sunday until 2025, with 16 points and 5 rebounds, and Thomas Heurtel was once again the leader with 20 points for Madrid to sign up for the postponed duel on matchday 15 due to coronavirus cases in ‘La Penya ‘.

Yabusele, in the third quarter and Heurtel, in the last, dynamited the Catalan defense, with which Joventut remains in nine wins. The ticket for the Copa del Rey in Granada is getting more expensive every day, and the BAXI Manresa continues to take steps.

Those of Pedro Martínez added the ninth at the expense of a Barça that had the game in their hand until Sylvain Francisco forced the extension in the last second. In overtime, the protagonist remained the same, along with a decisive triple from Thomasson. Barça lacked weapons in this match on matchday 14.

Mirotic was once again the best of his team with 20 points, and his best ally was the youth squad Nnaji, who left a valuation of 19 credits, the best for a Barça player under 18 years of age since Juan Carlos Navarro in 97/98. Hayes had the winning basket and brand-free but it did not prevent Jasikevicius’s men from starting 2022 with defeat, as they ended 2021 against Baskonia.

In addition, in a match corresponding to matchday 17, Valencia Basket beat Unicaja (82-87) in a match without a clear dominator, blows to one side and the other of the court although the ‘taronja’ set took the lead in the second bedroom. Hermansson (23 valuation) was the best in the Martín Carpena, to give his team the ninth victory and leave the Andalusians in seven.
