Euskaraz irakurri: Baskoniak galdu egin du Tel Aviven, Makabiren aurka (93-79), baina play-offetan sartzeko lehian jarraitzen du
He Baskonia bucket ha lost this Thursday night before the Maccabi Tel Avivon the track of the Israeli team, for 93-79within the day 29 of the euroleaguein a match whose result prevents the Vitoria team from strengthening its play-off place, but which keeps Joan Peñarroya’s men within the top eight and, furthermore, in a good position to achieve the pass. In the match, the Israeli team, in addition to having dominated the rebound, has been more regular than Baskonia, in a match in which both teams have achieved notable advantages on the scoreboard, although it is true that in the last quarter, Maccabi has brilliantly surpassed Baskonia.
After playing in Tel Aviv, with five days to go before the conclusion of the regular phase of the Euroleague, Baskonia is eighth, with 15 wins. Zalgiris, ninth, have won the same number of games as the team from Alava, with whom they have lost the basket average. The next day presents a Red Star-Baskonia that could be a good opportunity for Peñarroya’s men to add a perhaps crucial victory; To do this, they will have to hit more on the rebound, clearly favorable to Maccabi in this Thursday’s game, and refine the three-point shot.
The final stretch of first quarter has undone the balance that initially presided over the meeting. Maccabi and Baskonia maintained an even pulse until almost minute eight into the game, but then the Israeli team shot up to 29-21, which began to be disturbing, especially given the speed with which the team placed it on the scoreboard local. Finally, two free throws left Maccabi’s lead at six points at the end of the first period (29-23).
He second bedroom It has had two very different phases. In the first one, up to minute five of that second period, Maccabi was more successful than Baskonia, both in front of the Vitoria team’s ring and in defense, and that has resulted in a difference in the result of up to 14 points, in the 43-29 that has come to establish the group trained by Oded Kattash. But, at that point, Baskonia’s reaction came, scoring 11 consecutive points and even coming close to leveling the score. Finally, 49-45; Baskonia, in line with what has been demonstrated throughout the season, was easily scoring points, although it seemed that Peñarroya’s men, facing the second half, should try to adjust under their basket, and force Maccabi to look for shots more complicated.
What happened in the third quarter. In total, Maccabi has scored, in those ten minutes, 23 points, to 20 for Baskonia; but it is curious how those points have been distributed, because they have been achieved in spectacular streaks by both teams.
Baskonia has started giving, which from 49-45 at halftime has been able to go to a 49-60 that was exciting and promised a lot (the accumulated partial was then 6-31 for the Basque team). But Maccabi has not lagged behind: with a 14-0, they have regained control of the scoreboard. And not only that: in the last plays of the third quarter, the Israeli team’s difference increased, to 72-65 with which that period ended.
He last room has confirmed the sensations left by the end of the third. The Israeli team has been superior, and has firmly managed the rhythm of the game and the result. Baskonia did not have the option of pressing, as indicated by the 93-79 that was recorded on the scoreboard when time expired.
