• Chronicle: Baskonia, an extraordinary champion: knock out Barcelona and win the Endesa League
  • Statistics.The match numbers

Until the grand finale tonight against Baskonia , Nikola Mirotic's worst performance in the Barcelona shirt had been a 9-rating against Valencia Basket in the Super Cup semi-finals . The Catalan team won that game and then fell in the final against Madrid, with 14 points and a 12-point valuation by the Hispanic Montenegrin against their former team.

During the regular league , Mirotic was an absolute robot, winning a well-deserved MVP with a 12 as the lowest rating, 22 on average and 18 points per game. He did not disappear in the Copa del Rey , despite the defeat of the azulgrana in the first round against Valencia Basket. He went to 25 points and pulled the car without success.

He was also seen on every Euroleague night , aware of the weight of his signing for the continental competition. It averaged 22.5 valuation with a minimum of 13. One cyclone . And in the final phase of Valencia , while Real Madrid was packing prematurely, Mirotic has guided Barça to the final with 16.5 points , the third best mark in the tournament.

Tonight, however, La Fonteta has witnessed Nikola Mirotic's worst night . In what was supposed to be his first big title as a big star for Barcelona , the former Chicago Bulls , New Orleans Pelicans and Milwaukee Bucks wrecked against Baskonia's defense. He scored just eight points , 4-for-8 on two- pointers and an incomprehensible 0-for-5 on triples . He gave an assist, caught just one rebound and was fouled four minutes from the end of the game.

When the hands of his teammates and rivals trembled the most, Mirotic left the bench. His -1 rating , the worst among the Barça players, sums up an inexplicable performance seeing how his season had passed both in the Endesa League and in the Euroleague. "We have risked with him. He had two different physical problems. We have tried several therapies," Pesic justified, who also argued why he decided to leave him on the court with four fouls: "There are players who stay many minutes with four fouls."

"In Europe there is more competition . In the NBA the style of play is more individual, it goes through the star of the team, and the year is very long," explained the player during his presentation with Barça after rejecting an offer of up to 45 million for three years by the Chicago Bulls. The course was not long, but the final was.
