Euro League
Real is Sarah’s best client in Barcelona
Tough as ever and almost unmistakable, Barcelona continued the tradition they wanted with Saras on the bench constantly beating Real (8-3). Why Pablo Lasso was angry and what Sergio Yul was shouting at the referees in anger.
Even from the position of underdog, tough and almost unmistakable Barcelona took this classic and stopped the Real Madrid team, who had 21 wins in their last 22 games. And if you’re wondering who lost last time, you guessed it. He was one of the “Blaugranas”, in the European duel between the top two teams (10/12 in Barcelona, 93:80).
The Queen is developing into a better… client of Sarah Barça as she lost for the fifth consecutive time in a classic 8-3 in the Lithuanian coach’s season. Real are still ahead in the ACB table (16-2) but have three games more than Barça with a record of 12-3.
The Catalans, who weren’t in their best moment of the year (counting four defeats in their last five games), were desperate for victory to stay close to their eternal opponent but also to regain their lost confidence: ““Winning in psychology will help us” admitted Saronas Yassikevitsios, who looked at the stat sheet with admiration after circling the number 4. It was about his team’s mistakes, of course very few for such a derby: “It’s a scary idea. Almost a miracle…” Add.
In contrast, Pablo Lasso was ready to bang his head against the wall. Real made all the mistakes in the second half. 13 in total, 11 of which scored for Barcelona. Once again, the Madrilenians were betrayed by the “ace”. In the period when Laprovitola in particular, but also Kalathis, who had returned from his injury, gave Barça the right rhythm, all Real playmakers made a hole in the water.
Not so much in the first part, but in the second with the strange Tomas Hertel who suffered from Sergi Martinez’s defense and was the generative reason for Barça to lead by +12 points (56-68). It was the moment Lasso chose a team with Abalde, Rudy and Goss playing… more wood than Barcelona and with a 10-0 lead, Real came back into the game.
Rudy missed the three-pointer that would put Real back in front, Barça scored 10 straight points from just shots and found the crucial three-pointer from Nikola Mirotic’s hand when needed to ‘clear’ the game. Still affected by the coronavirus, ‘Miro’ aimed the shot that brought the difference to +8, 23” from the end, finally ending Real’s hopes of a comeback.
Real looked stronger in the first half, perhaps also thanks to the shine of Felipe Reyes, for whose sake the game was abandoned in the ninth minute (9 was the number) and the legendary captain reverently announced the final with his children at the stadiums: “I think my team has fulfilled all of Madrid’s dreams“However, the finale of the game was anything but dreamy for the hosts.
The excited lasso
Lasso, angry after the end of the game, shook hands with Yassikevitsios with various movements and voices related to pinball. The Real coach didn’t want to continue or attack the referees. At least in the first year: “I had more with my players and the way they handled the game. We lost our minds and couldn’t follow Real. ..”
Saras also did not want to continue the “episode” with the opposing coach. And he hasn’t dealt with refereeing, because as he said… he doesn’t (sic) interfere with referees: “I don’t want to deal with refereeing. I always fight for the good of the team and I do that often because I yell at the players a lot, the referees punish them with technical penalties!”
Real complains about a foul by Laprovitola on Hanga, which was not called by the referees, but who gave the fouls against the Madrilenians easier. Sergio Yul was even caught by TV cameras shouting “You are unfortunate”.
We remind you that Yul in the defeat at the Palau Blaugrana a month ago, he had shown the Barça fans the… middle finger of his hand.
However, Barcelona got the win they wanted as they had more brains and greater accuracy from distance (10/18 threes), but also key players like Kyle Kuric (4/5tr) and Sertak Sunley, who assisted in the second by scoring from medium distance (6/11d) even from the line of three (1/2).
“We showed our strength. We’ve had a lot of problems with injuries and Covid, but we’re slowly getting back to where we should be.” commented the Turkish center as the two sides prepare again for another classic in a few days as the Copa Den Rey (17-20 / 2 in Granada) looms. Barring anything dramatic, we’ll see them dueling again in the finale.
Real, slowly finding those they missed last year (Rudolph and Deck played on Sunday but not Tombkins, who was dropped from the league’s squad), will have to overcome the syndromes they now appear to be permanently confronted with , each time against Barça , which – with Saras on the bench – seems to create client dominance.

Mustafa Fal has delivered a monstrous performance in international matches and Vassilis Skoundis is tackling the problem, inevitably involving the first teacher of the art, Panagiotis Fassoulas.
“The gypsy saw his generation and his heart rejoiced,” says a proverb whose meaning fits the occasion… I mean, the occasion of Fal seeing the other Fal opposite him and enjoying him normally and in accordance with the law!
Let the necessary recommendations be made…
One of them is Mustafa Fal, who was born in Paris on February 23, 1992, he is French, he plays in his country’s national team, his hat comes from Senegal, he has been looking since he was 2.18. He is in his third season at Olympiacos…
Yusufa and Taco
The other person who competed against him yesterday is Youssoufa Fal, who was born in Dakar on January 12, 1995, is a Senegalese with French nationality, has a height of 2.21 m and is competing in Villerban for the third consecutive time…
There is of course the much wilder Taco Fal, who was also born in Dakar on December 10, 1995, spent three seasons in the NBA, is now sizzling in China and has had his head tickling the feet of God since he was 229 cm tall!
Mustafa, Yusufa and Tako have no relationship or kinship between them: they are synonymous, apart from the coincidence that ensures that they are all three kilometers long!
The triple-double figure in Pylaia
He had attacked the Olympiacos central defender again on the 11th of last month, on the occasion of the triple-double he scored in the game against PAOK in Pylaia, rare in our area, but he wanted to make us laugh for a while as his only goal!
At first he missed Yannis Fileris who treated him properly, but I also have some stitches for his fur!
To say my sin, I laughed and liked Fileris’ pun on… Wrong!
Fasoulas and… Lumidis
In any case, “Pani” was like…Lumidis in the field of coffee roasting, plus he made heads turn with soft nails with his unique and unparalleled skills.
To paraphrase Lumidis’ advertising slogan: in our case it was “Everyone in their own way and Fasoulas in their caps“!
Since the conversation broke out, the experienced PAOK and Olympiacos international center has recorded five triple-doubles with points, rebounds and blocks, which are of course rarer than those that include assists.
He scored the first of these goals on October 15, 1988 (PAOK-Panionios) with 18 points, 18 rebounds and 13 blocks.
Two weeks later he “wrote” the second with 20-18-11 against Apollon Patras, on November 19 he followed the third against Sporting (29-19-15), while in the 1990/91 season he added two more: 18 – 14-10 with Peristeri and 19-12-11 with Iraklis.
Vrankovic’s record and the “wow” with Green
Similar triple feats with plugs have also been achieved by Stojan Vrankovic (who is already the record holder in EuroLeague history with 10 in a Fortitudo Bologna-Cibona Zagreb game) with Panathinaikos, Anthony Cook with PAOK, Mike Smrek with Dafni, PJ Brown with Panionios, Efthymis Renzias with the National Youth Team and Antonis Fotsis with the Greens youth team.
On Friday night in Lyon, Fall broke the bank when he nearly followed in Draymond Green’s footsteps and posted a rare triple-double without scoring in double figures.
He reached the final horn with two points, seven rebounds, seven assists and eight blocks, while the Warriors’ cocky forward did so on February 10, 2017 against the Grizzlies with 11 rebounds, 10 assists, 10 steals and just two points.
From 0.8 to 8
Fal had grabbed 14 rebounds in the game against Red Star while he dished out seven assists in the game against Baskonia, so there is no news here…
The wave was caused by the eight caps, because on the one hand there are a lot of them and on the other hand the so-called do not have a big problem with davtes.
Before the game with Villerban, he had taken 12 shots in 14 games, and suddenly he flashed and thundered from a 0.8 average to eight!
What is the key quality a good blocker should have?
The cap for Moretti, the timing and the caps
Instead of answering, I’ll give the floor to a specialist and expert, none other than Panagiotis Fasoulas, who, among other things, scored the most decisive international match in the history of Olympiacos!
I am referring to the match against Paolo Moretti in the third game of the European Champions Cup playoff series in the 10993/94 season, thanks to which Piraeus qualified for the Final 4 in Tel Aviv.
“Everything is a question of timing“he explained to me when I asked him how he cultivated and developed his art.
“You need to know and understand where, when and how to jump to block the opponent’s shot. In addition to this sense of space and time, speed of movement and long arms also play a role. I did the caps and even covered the ball so we could go straight to attack” explains Fasoulas, who is already drawing the moral lesson of the story…
“Attack requires talent, but defense depends on will.”
The spider web
Last but not least, this desire flowed from the… gums of Fasoula, who went out and trapped his opponents in the spider’s web from which no one could escape.
From his appearance in the early 80s until his retirement in 1999, he reduced defense not only to a science, but to a spectacular spectacle!

Matias Lessor received hundreds of interesting messages from friends of Panathinaikos AKTOR about his injury and quickly explained what the situation is.
Matias Lessor’s injury was the only black mark in the game against Armani Milano. For this very reason, the people of Panathinaikos AKTOR didn’t enjoy it as much as they would have liked. At least until they received the results of the sports high school exams.
The day after the game, it became clear that the problem was not serious. However, Matias Lessor explained in detail how he feels after his injury and thanked everyone for their interest.
Matias Lesor’s message in detail:
“Thank you everyone for your lovely messages and your interest. I’m feeling much better. It just hurts, but I’m fine“.

End of alert for Matias Lesor at Panathinaikos AKTOR. The French center has a bad back due to the injury and will miss tomorrow’s (December 24th) game against Prometheus in Patras (20:15, ERT3 and LIVE on Sportish), but his tests were clear.
Matias Lesor will play in tomorrow’s (December 24th) away game of Panathinaikos AKTOR against Prometheus (8:15 p.m., 3 a.m. and LIVE from Sportish) on matchday 11 of the Stoiximan Basket League due to the lower back injury he sustained in this game , do not compete Armani Milano. But he escaped the worst.
The French center was tested immediately after the return of the “Greens” from Milan, who were “clean”. In other words, they didn’t show that the bone was broken in the middle – which everyone feared when they saw the Frenchman slaughtered on the ground. But Lesor is still in pain, ruling him out of the game against Prometheus and considered doubtful for next week’s EuroLeague game against Red Star.
With Lesor out, Oleg Balcherovski, Kostas Antetokounmpo and Dinos Mitoglou will fill the center position in the game against Prometheus.
