Euskaraz irakurri: Baskoniak ez du asmatu azken laurdenean, eta galdu egin du Bayern Munichen aurka, Buesa Arenan (68-76)

He Baskonia ha lost this Tuesday night, in the Buesa Arenaby 68-76before him Bayern Munichin the third day of the Euroleague of the 2023-24 season. The Vitorian team, without much clarity in the game during the match, dominated the scoreboard until the final minutes, but In the last quarter he only added six pointsand has fallen to the German team, which trains Pablo Laso. In this way, Baskonia adds a victory in three days in the Euroleagueand he still hasn’t opened his locker as a local.

As has been said, The key to the match was in the last quarter, in which Baskonia has been far from its usual level. At the end of the third quarter, Joan Peñarroya’s men They won by ten, 62-52; From there, until the end of the match, the German team scored a partial 6-24, which has made any attempt by the Alava squad to avoid defeat impossible. Bayern Munich was better in the final stretch of the match, and thus took the victory from Vitoria-Gasteiz.

Baskonia and Bayern Munich arrived at the match tied for a win, after two days of Euroleague already played. The team coached by Pablo Laso beat Alba Berlin in its debut, and lost last week at Panathinaikos, while Baskonia lost at Buesa against Real Madrid on the first day and defeated Alba Berlin itself at home. in his first meeting as a visitor. The different squads are now placing themselves in the standings, and the victory that was at stake tonight had a lot of value in that direction.

Baskonia has not been able to play too comfortably in the first quarter, but, despite this, those from Peñarroya have closed with an advantage, 22-20, in those initial ten minutes. Matt Costello, with five points, has led the Vitorian team in scoring, which has seen how Bayern Munich’s Carsen Edwards has stood out against the hoop with seven points. Baskonia tried to run, but was unable to do so on many occasions, given the good defense of the German squad.

Equality has continued in the second quarter, in which the local team has gained an advantage of up to seven points, with just over two minutes left before the break, at 39-32; Bayern Munich, however, reacted brilliantly, and, after a timeout by Pablo Laso, scored a 0-7 run that tied the match again. Marinkovic, with a triple, once again put Baskonia ahead, although the visiting team had time to close the gap before the intermission, which was reached with a score of 42-41 that left everything to be decided for the second half.

At times, Joan Peñarroya’s men have overwhelmed their rival in the third quarter. That period has had a livelier rhythm, and, in it, Baskonia has been able to play its game with more clarity. Marinkovic scored from three-point range, and Kotsar, very firm in defense, pushed the team forward. The Vitorian squad had an advantage of up to ten points, 62-52, which seemed to break the game, but Bayern Munich responded once again, with a 0-5 in the final minutes that left the result, with no ten minutes, at 62-57.

That push by the visiting team has been crucial, and has marked what was to come. Baskonia has been blocked in the last quarter, has not been able to refine in attack nor has he closed well in defense. He has been left with only six total points, and has seen how Bayern Munich, first, tied at 64, how they then took the lead, after many minutes without doing so, and how they expanded and maintained their advantage by playing with a cool head, with courage, with the precision that Baskonia has not been able to find. The final score of 68-76, thus, was a disappointment, because the Baskonista squad had the game on their field, but they did not know how to finish and they paid dearly for it.
