In Paris, the basketball players of the Moscow CSKA lost to the Spanish Barcelona in the Euroleague semifinals with a score of 54:64. The game took place with varying success, but in the key moments the Catalans who sympathized with the judges were stronger.
The beginning of the game remains with the army - 9: 2, but Barcelona does not allow to develop success, noticeably strengthening the game in the defense. 50 seconds before the end of the first quarter, Vasquez for the first time takes the Spaniards forward - 12:11. It is funny that out of 12 Barcelona 8 points on Mikel’s account, 6 of them from the penalty.
After a short rest, the Catalans are already completely dominated by: Rubio spread out, N'Dong is good under the shield. And now - 27:21 to a big break in favor of Barcelona.
It is obvious that turning the stroke of the dispute will be difficult. But the army team and Sishkauskas do not even want to think about it! They are the best in Muscovites! The gap is reduced! Already 51:48 After throwing CSKA Captain, but the Bars does not allow more.
Although CSKA still had one chance: with a score of 56:50, the ex-armeas Erasmim Lorbeck receives an unsportsmanlike foul, but Caun scores only one penalty, and the boat does not fall due to an arc. In response, Treshka is all the same Lorbeck, who calls the winner of the match ahead of schedule.
“I believe that we looked worthy,” said CSKA CSKA “Soviet sport.” “We fought a lot, won the selection, had good chances of victory. But the judges, in my opinion, broke the game. Can one of the teams in the first quarter to pick up 12 points - eight from penalties?! And why did I not understand a couple of fouls at all.”
We add that for the title of the best team of Europe, Barcelona will argue with the Greek Olympiacos, which turned out to be stronger than the Belgrade Partizan - 83:80.
