The Baskonia team, which accepted the Catalans, still had a double-digit lead 71:61 3 minutes before the match, but the rivals ended the match with a streak of 11: 0 and achieved a dramatic 72:71 victory.
Š. Jasikevičius explained after the match that Barcelona did not play their game.
“When Baskonia gained momentum, my students got angry. It can’t be. We were looking for solutions because at the same time we were in a very bad situation. It’s a strange match. I don’t understand how we could have won.
Still, we somehow won. Now we have to enjoy it and travel home, “said Š. Jasikevičius, who beat the Basques in the Spanish Super Cup earlier this season but lost to them in the ACB league.
“It just came to us then. It’s good that we were able to win poorly by shooting 3s (33% on target) and losing a lot of balls (19). The right mentality made it possible to win.”
Speaking of the decisive three-minute stretch, Š. Jasikevičius was delighted that the decision to let the club’s five best attacking players onto the field was carried out and thus exploited the full potential of their attack.
“We had a bad time attacking, so at the crucial moment I was looking for five who could play better attacking. We played with Kuric, Mirotic, Abrines and Heurtel because we needed points.
We made the Baskonia basketball players hesitate and somehow managed to win. What can I say … Things like this happen very rarely, ”said the strategist.
At the time, Baskonia helmsman Duško Ivanovičius lamented the failed end of the match for the Spanish champions, but said that this was the beauty of a basketball match.
“We have shown that nothing is impossible. It seemed impossible to lose this game anymore, but we have shown that everything is possible. But it is basketball. That is what makes it beautiful.
Now I’m angry, but I can’t do anything anymore. At a crucial moment, we made a mistake, we threw shots unprepared and we thought we would still win. We did not win. This is already happening, “said D. Ivanovičius.
Baskonia is expected to play their next match on Sunday at 7 pm An ACB League match against Las Palmo Gran Canaria is scheduled. It is true that the club represented by Tomas Dimša registered a case of COVID-19, which caused the postponement of the team’s match with Iberostar de Tenerife on Friday.
