FC Barcelona I think we set the tone from the first moment. We were very physical, very serious defensively. Offensively, we lacked a little bit of patience, like we spoke at halftime, too many turnovers the whole day. It helped that some of the players really had a very good, calm performance, which got us into some good stuff, and we found some solutions. For sure, this is something to understand for the players, how difficult it is to go to the Final Four. But at the same time, a club like Barcelona has to be there more times, and this is what we will try to do. We will try to build something here and hopefully, we can make it more years in a row. ....
May 01, 2021 by Euroleague.net Print With Zenit St Petersburg missing both its leading overall rebounder, Mateusz Ponitka (5.2 rpg), and leading offensive rebounder, Arturas Gudaitis (1.7 orpg), through untimely injuries, you might have thought it would be difficult for the Russian team to compete on the boards with FC Barcelona in Game 4 of their playoffs series on Friday night. Fired by the necessity of simply having to win to stay alive, however, Zenit overcame those absences to earn a resounding 74-61 victory on the back of a physically dominant performance. The numbers speak for themselves. Zenit won the rebounding battle 40-26, with only two Barcelona players – Nikola Mirotic and Nick Calathes – managing to secure more than 2 boards. Seven Zenit players did just that, led by Will Thomas with 9 and featuring strong contributions from Tarik Black (6) and Alex Poythress (5). ....
May 01, 2021 by Euroleague.net Print After missing almost the whole 2019-20 season with a torn ACL, CSKA Moscow s Will Clyburn was back with a vengeance this season and he sealed that with a career performance that allowed his team to go to its ninth straight Final Four and earn him the MVP of the Week honor for Games 3 and 4 of the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague Playoffs. Clyburn shined in Game 3 with a PIR 38 at Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul and led CSKA to a series sweep that punched its ticket to be in Cologne in late May to play for the title. It was a night to remember for Clyburn, who set new personal bests in PIR, points (34), three-pointers made (5) and free throws made (11). He also added 7 rebounds and 1 steal to a great all-around performance in 31 minutes coming off the bench. It was the highest PIR for the winner of a playoff game in 15 years. Following Clyburn among the week s best inidividual performance was Vladimir Lu ....
Zenit overwhelms Barcelona to tie series Zenit St Petersburg tied its playoffs series with FC Barcelona with a dominant 74-61 home victory on Friday night. Zenit, which was in front all the way, raced into a double-digit lead with an explosive start, and held a 36-26 half-time advantage after a low-scoring second quarter. Zenit further stretched the lead after the break, taking the margin past 20 points early in the fourth quarter, and Barca never got the deficit down to single digits. Kevin Pangos was the chief inspiration for the home team, combining 20 points and 8 assists. Alex Poythress added 12 points, while Austin Hollins and Tarik Black both scored 11. Nick Calathes led Barcelona with a season-high 19 points, and Cory Higgins added 13. The decider will take place at Palau Blaugrana on Tuesday. ....
