Burgoso San Pablo raised the first trophy in the club’s history.
Just five years ago, 180 thousand. The city team debuted in the Spanish Premier League three years ago, last year in the FIBA Champions League and, from the qualifying round, moved on to the Cup.
The 2019-2020 tournament, which was suspended for a long time due to the pandemic, revived the final fights this week, when the top eight teams met in Athens.
Burgos basketball players defeated AEK in the final when five players scored double-digit points for the winners.
Thaddus FcFadden was the top scorer.
The real driving force behind the team was Omar Cook. The 38-year-old American, who competed at Vilnius Morning seven years ago, scored 15 points and had 4 assists.
Many veterans also played for the AEK team.
Another former Ryto defender, Tyrese Rice, who promised to end his basketball career after the tournament, scored 17 points.
Keith Langford scored 11, Matt Lojeski – 9, Marcus Slaughter – 8.
Jonas Mačiulis in 19 minutes. scored 6 points.
The 35-year-old Lithuanian hit 2 triples of 5, missed both shots of two, bounced the ball 3 times.
But he could do nothing when Joano Peñarroya’s coach led the Spanish team in an overwhelming way – 35:12 – won the second half, eliminating AEK’s start in the first half.
The AEK team, which won the FIBA Champions League with J.Mačiulis in 2018, did not help either the local wall or the famous fans this time: NBA star Giannis Antetokounmpo supported the Greek team in the final.
On Sunday, up to 17 triples out of 35, the São Paulo team received 1 million a check worth one billion euros, both promised by FIBA to the champions.
Dijon JDA ranked third in the FIBA Champions League. The French club broke Zaragoza’s “Casademont” in the small 70:65 final, for which former “Rytas” defender DJSeeley scored 2 points.
