BarcelonaAfter Sito Alonso threatened to have the players on his bench leave the dressing room three-tenths of the way from the end of the first half, Sergi Llull tipped the UCAM Múrcia coach. The Menorcan was tired of the coach’s protests, who became very angry. “When I see an abnormal situation during the game, I absolutely do not care what others think. I will defend UCAM Murcia tooth and nail and everything it takes. Sergi Llull? I have no idea, I have nothing to say. I defend the interests of my team,” he said.

Grimau takes a demanding duel of friends

Roger Grimau won the match against Jaka Lakovic’s Gran Canaria, his former teammate at Barça (73-83). When they were Cullers players, both lifted the legendary Euroleague in Paris 2010. The Blaugrana team repeated Olympiacos’ strategy of the day. When trailing by nine points, the best version of the visitors arrived. A very solid final stretch helped him secure victory in a week of great physical demand. The next challenge will come on Tuesday at the Partizan court.

Emotional reappearance in the New Gorge

A basket by Musa Sagnia three seconds from the end gave Baxi Manresa the victory against Zunder Palència (92-91). The 20-year-old Gambian player finished with 9 points and 7 rebounds against an opponent who had the last shot to turn the score around. Vitor Benite missed his shot and the team from Bagan celebrated their third win of the season. Eleven years after his last home game at Nou Congost, Pierre Oriola reappeared playing for two minutes. The pivot still needs game rhythm.

Youth, defenseless

El Joventut lost at Unicaja, where they conceded 113 points (113-91), the fourth best historical score of the Málaga team. “We lack team chemistry, and that’s what worries me the most. We have to work together,” analyzed Pau Ribas. “We have to reflect because the intensity is not negotiated”, added Guillem Vives. After starting the season with three victories, Básquet Girona suffered its second consecutive defeat. The Catalan team could not reach 70 points against the Lenovo Tenerife (66-79).
