Exceptional by exception, not by brilliant

• CBA Nikola Mirotic's Blackest Night
• Chronicle: Baskonia, an extraordinary champion: knock out Barcelona and win the Endesa League

Emotion without basketball and without spectators (well, more than announced: the plug still exists in this depleted Spain ), and a very tired and very diminished team has beaten the one with the most class, the most bench and it seems that almost everything is done. But Svetislav Pesic always seems to fail player rotations, and Baskonia retains pride.

At least we have been able to finish a very strange season, which promised other battles at other heights, but after the terrible pandemic until an almost hysterical game, with clouded minds and bent bodies. While the madridistas console themselves with the news of Ante Zizic - what would become of the preseason of defeated hobbies without the proliferation of announcements and transfer rumors? -, The strange 2019-20 season has ended with the logical clash of the two teams that have reached their most complete until this extension after an endless interregnum. So whole that Barcelona and Baskonia have showcased their muscle, their toughness and their will, but not much their game. Frantic, full of failures, this exceptional final has been due to the circumstances without a doubt, but if someone wanted to see high-level European basketball, they would have had to be content with a mockery of the toughest and toughest time in the NBA , back in the years 80 ...

With the exhaustion of this final phase - overwhelming in the second part - and the lack of previous preparation, the cocktail was complete. There was no lack of uneven and mediocre refereeing in the ACB style. The work and anticipation in defense of Baskonia balanced the superiority of talent of a Barcelona also fragile in the defensive rebound, and Ivanovic - the savior of a team that started the season lost with Perasovic - maintained, despite his absolute exhaustion, Toko Shengelia at stake, as a talisman and an example to her companions. Finally, Vildoza emerged from his particular limbo in the second half to provide all the attack his team needed.

Oh, and Niko Mirotic still doesn't know how to play finals. Some things do not change. Next year we will see. Those we may not see are already Tomic, Shengelia, Shields , all the players wanted by the Euroleague for what they have done ... especially when playing basketball-basketball and not basketball-pandemic. We still have to see some NBA, but above all we have to wait for the normality as old as possible for the 2020-21 season. The new one, frankly, is not very convincing.
