He Bar\u00e7a<\/strong> This Friday he completed the semifinals of the Copa del Rey basketball tournament and, after defeat UCAM Murcia <\/strong>by 91-85 in the last game of quarter finals<\/strong>will be the rival of Kosner Baskonia<\/strong>which was imposed previously <\/strong>by 91-81 to La Laguna Tenerife<\/strong> in the second semifinal this Saturday.<\/p>\n The first semi-final<\/strong> of the tournament that takes place at the Roig Arena until Sunday will face the Real Madrid with Valencia Basket.<\/strong><\/p>\n Kevin Punter reappeared <\/strong>this Friday like a cyclone two weeks after suffering a muscle injury<\/strong> who threatened to keep him out for a month, to lead Barcelona to their semi-final and end the dream of a UCAM Murcia that dominated for many minutes <\/strong>their quarterfinal match.<\/p>\n Guided by some intense and bright Dylan Ennis and Devontae Cacok <\/strong>and with all his players very involved, the university team<\/strong> seemed to have the crash under control, with six points of income with eight minutes left.<\/strong> But then Punter<\/strong>who had already neutralized a first Murcian attack, reappeared to complete his stellar performance: 20 points in 20 minutes.<\/strong> And the UCAM was left without a response.<\/p>\n It seemed that Bar\u00e7a was beginning to doubt, but at the worst moment, they adjusted their defense and Laprovittola found Willy Hernang\u00f3mez and Parra to resist<\/strong>. A Punter<\/strong>which he went into a trance again<\/strong>no one needed to find him and Between the four of them they set up a partial of 17-5<\/strong> that turned the game around and tested UCAM’s mettle.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n For its part, the Kosner Baskonia <\/strong>won 91-81 to La Laguna Tenerife<\/strong> in a match in which was always ahead,<\/strong> although they lost a 16-point lead against a Tenerife team that managed to tie but was not able to finish<\/strong> their comeback, with which the Basque team, in which Trent Forrest was their leading scorer<\/strong> With 21 points, he returns to the semifinals after two years of absence from the tournament.<\/p>\n With the tie completely open Already in its final stretch, the nerves appeared<\/strong> on the Roig Arena court and scoring points became a real challenge. Just 2-6 partial in 3 minutes, but in that context, Tenerife felt more comfortable and was able to tie<\/strong> the match (66-66, min.34). <\/p>\n In the last minutes, Baskonia’s physique ended up prevailing <\/strong>and second chances propelled him towards victory. Furthermore, the people of Vitoria had Kurucs inspiration <\/strong>from three-point range to give back a 9-point lead with just over three minutes left. <\/p>\n Tenerife still had time to give the last scare for Baskonia with a 5-point play<\/strong> with a triple from Thomas Scrubb and two free throws from Aaron Doornekamp, \u200b\u200bbut It did not feature Howard’s appearance. <\/strong>The guard returned the 5 points with another triple and two other free throws to give final peace of mind to a Baskonia that sealed its victory with two consecutive 2+1 actions by Forrest.<\/p>\n The end was placid for Baskonia and could even scratch a few seconds<\/strong> more on the track Stefan Joksimovic<\/strong>which became the Youngest player to play in a Cup with Baskonia <\/strong>at 17 years and three months.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" He Bar\u00e7a This Friday he completed the semifinals of the Copa del Rey basketball tournament<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":120,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-119","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sport-2"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/razak.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/razak.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/razak.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/razak.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/razak.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=119"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/razak.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/razak.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/120"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/razak.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=119"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/razak.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=119"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/razak.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=119"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Bar\u00e7a and Punter react in time<\/h2>\n
