He Carpena was the Boston Garden y el Forum de Inglewood at once. The Malaga Celtics hugging a showtime with fang There is no name for this team that has cooked Ibon Navarrowho is making a face scario (present in the box). He resounded the immortal melody of Pablo López to close a wonderful 2023 by knocking down the Barcelona, whom he leaves injured with a 91-71. It is fascinating that so many musicians of the caliber that he has on his staff know how to leave room for the soloist on duty so that the brilliance is common.
He wasted his first five attacks on Barcelona and four the Unicaja at startup. Once the weight of the initial baskets was lifted, the game began to boil and both teams challenged each other, especially from the perimeter. At first, the people of Malaga held their own against those of grimacesubject by Laprovittola and, above all, by an inspired Parra who scored 11 points (with 3/3 in triples).
A steal and subsequent dunk by Carter made it 19-19, but from there the Unicaja He lost several balls that the Blaugranas took advantage of to stretch the difference to 19-26. The fourth was going to be a little more exciting, with Carpena beginning to see strange things in the refereeing. The public became unnerved with a few tenths to go when an unsportsmanlike behavior was claimed about Alberto which after being reviewed remained that way, in protest.
The first ten minutes were hectic, but Barça already had an important difference in their favor that Ibon’s men had to correct so as not to lose their way and fight like Sisyphus against the mountain.
If the pace was devilish in the first set, in the second it increased in revolutions. Two triples of Alberto y Taylor -from home- and a basket of Sima they forced grimace to stop the game (27-28). He pulled the blackboard well to draw the path to Willybut another cajista rush made it 35-30 that Darío minimized with a triple (35-33).
He didn’t know how to get his hands on Unicaja, which with a powerful defense, electricity and don Will Thomas increased the income to 40-33. Grimau asked for another time with his team in bonus and almost three minutes ahead. A triple of Parker It gave oxygen to the culés, but the people from Malaga had quick hands and extended the lead (45-36).
a desperate Laprovittola he hit the ball in the back Perry after a foul by the typesetter, who was the master of the game. There was a threat of a tangana and the referees went to review it. The Argentine took a technical for the action after a long time of scrutinizing the images. The American scored his free throw and scored the maximum of the duel (46-36).
Unicaja forced the seventh loss in the second set and Thomas he scored another basket in his hand in hand with Parker (48-36). He Barça He looked for some compensation in the final seconds, he had no other way to stop the green gale. Lapro scored a free throw to make it 48-37 at halftime. The cherry on top could have been a basket on the horn of Kravishout of time by tenths.
The third quarter began with a little less spark but focused towards the greens, with Barcelona disoriented and reaching the bonus in the blink of an eye. He got more than 15 Unicaja (58-43), but the culés forced some losses and to take the clash to another scenario, where Ibon’s men could run less and Satoranski manage the times.
Unicaja was resisting, keeping Grimau’s men at a safe distance, but the fourth Perry With a couple of minutes remaining he disrupted the plans. Kalinic woke up to sign 65-58 e Bird He called time with a long minute left. The Catalan team won the partial, but the 69-60 score kept the flame burning. It was time to use emotional intelligence.
In one minute Grimau called the first time-out and then had to call another one because between Sima in defense (congratulated by Bird in full swing), the tables of Thomas and the hand of Kalinoski They scored 76-62 that put victory on track. He had a hot little hand, although it was Will who scored an impossible triple celebrated with joy by the Carpena to put a +18 (80-62).
The team did not slow down, with Sima very plugged in and Alberto being Alberto ante Satoranski. The bird was in the nest and the Carpena I knew it. 12 wins in a row (exceeding the 2005/06 ACB title) of effort, generosity and giving a hard blow to Barcelona in addition to the potential basketaverage. 91-71 to the old coconut in Ciudad Jardín. What a trip.
