He Surne Bilbao Basket They will have to overcome 19 points next week in Miribilla if they want to be in the semifinals of the FIBA Europe Cup after falling this Wednesday against the Legia Warsawby 83-64, on a very bad afternoon in Poland.
It was one of the worst games of the ‘men in black’ with Jaume Ponsarnau, who greatly missed the injured man Xavi Rabasedaleader of the team in attitude, in defense and in the intangibles that are necessary in a team.
And maybe also Kristian Kullamae so that he would help in scoring and avoid the painful 1 of 19 in triple shots. Although the Estonian guard was one of the discards of the two that he had to do Ponsarnau.
On a fateful day for shots to the basket, in two-point shots the percentage of the final 21/51 was also very low, Surne only found points with continuity in Sacha Killeya-Jones (18, although with only 11 rating). In the first half it helped him Adam Smith (10) and in the second Tryggvi Hlinason (10 and 9 rebounds), he still failed in free throws (4/8).
Legia had fewer problems in a chaotic and unfortunate match on both sides (they finished with 12/34 in T2) because they solved their difficulties from the triple (13/27). And he also knew how to survive a mediocre match for his figure and the competition’s top scorer, Christian Vital (13, 4/14 TC).
The best of the premises were the interiors Aric Holman (16 and 19 rating) and the Croatian Josip Sobin (8, 11 rebounds and 20).
