Those of Belgrade went out in the outcome of the Palau (87-80)
MADRID, 14 Mar. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Barça has won this Friday by 87-80 to Belgrade Party on day 29 of the regular Euroleague season, with an outstanding role of the New York escort Kevin Púnter in the ranks of the Culé team, which is protected at the border between the positions of the ‘play-in’ and the direct access zone to the ‘Playoffs’ of the quarterfinals.
After a month in the dry dock due to an injury to his left shoulder, Kevin Punter was the main protagonist of this commitment in the Palau Blaugrana. Not surprisingly, a few seconds from the initial jump, the escort with a Serbian passport greeted the entire ‘Staff’ technique of the party, a club where he played from the summer of 2021 to the summer of 2024.
But Pinter and his current companions were overwhelmed by the beginning of the Serbian team. The score was inaugurated by a triple of Sterling Brown from the right side of the court, followed by another triple by Isiaha Mike from the opposite side and an attack on the attack on Vanja Marinkovic, former Valencia Basket and Saski Baskonia.
The locals woke up with a triple of ‘Catch and Shoot’ scored by Álex Abrines from a side. However, a penetration to Brown’s ring forced Joan Peñarroya spent his first dead weather, and his pupils did not become concentrated, as they granted a triple released to Mike. At the moment, the party did not miss Gabriel Lundberg.
The Danish escort, who had traveled to Barcelona, became ill and did not play this game. With less rotation in its rival for exterior positions, Barça could find there a trick with the role of Tomas Satoransky. And precisely the Czech base signed up to be enough with a robbery, career and mate to mitigate the badly Blaugrana start (7-13).
But in front of Mike, author of a third triple in that brilliant start of the party, who again had a +10 after an easy robbery and mate for Frank Ntilikina. There was only a possession to play in the first period, which embroidered Barça to fasten the stopwatch with a triple of Darío Brizuela that the stands celebrated.
It was the prelude to the Barca reaction, guided by another Triple de Púnter and that placed 30-32. The former party was then a nightmare for his former teammates, as he demonstrated his assistance for the ‘Alley-Oop’ of Justin Anderson, an instance that Anderson repeated to Willy Hernangómez’s pass, culminating the comeback (37-36).
As if that were not enough, a triple apron of Punter prolonged the joy of local fans, and on top of Chimezie Metu joined from the ‘painting’ to that scoring festival. A great mate of his, on the face of Brandon Davies, served to establish 43-36 to 3:04 of rest.
The partial of Peñarroya was open and, almost on the horn of going to changing rooms, another three-point skimm sneaked, (54-41) sneaked. According to that inertia, Satoransky inaugurated the second half with another success from the perimeter, although the party had recharged batteries in the intermediate and gradually limited his disadvantage.
Promoted by two triple from Marinkovic and Davies, the Serbian picture came to go down (68-65), just before I put a triple of relief and that Brizuela Hilvanó with another basket to stretch to Barça (73-67), facing a fourth and final period that wanted intense.
Carlik Jones had taken offensive responsibility in the squad trained by veteran Zeljko Obradovic, tanned in millions of battles. Under that growing voltage aura, both teams resumed the game on the parquet without aiming. But as an example and badly for visitors, the ball made the ‘tie’ in a launch of Jones himself.
Three and a half minutes it took the scoreboard to move, by the work of ‘Sato’, to which a triple of Brown and a success in Curlik Jones. The clock vanished and Barça managed its possessions well, in addition to scoring free throws. Although Mike achieved his fourth triple in five attempts (77-75), the Serbs died on the shore.
Between arbitral reviews, the fifth lack of Marinkovic and Punter’s tino from the personnel line, the match was consumed and awarded the Barcelona team a key triumph in their aspirations to occupy one of the positions of the ‘Top 6’. Now his balance is 16-13, leaving his rival this Friday, somewhat below, with a record of 15-14.
