The bottom of the Euroleague dismantles Barça's streak

Barça took an unexpected defeat against Villeurbanne.

The bottom of the competition, who already had three stumbles at home, exhibited his cleanest image against an opponent who, directly, almost nothing came out.

The rudeness of the French team, caused perhaps by necessity, its lethality in the triples and its ability to annul the Barcelona players in this facet of the game were decisive to prevail by a forceful 80-68.

and, above all,

would be in the end more decisive than

, meanwhile, were almost disappeared.

Barça was already completely disarmed by Villeurbanne in the first 20 minutes of the match.

The French brought out their best version and knew how to be at all times above in a score that was quite even in the first quarter but that would seriously take the colors out of Jasikevicius's.

The locals, with an eminently choral game, condemned the Catalans to go in tow.

The visitors weren't able to get ahead even once in the entire first half of the match.

In the final stretch of the first quarter the French began to mark distances, condemning Barça to a point drain that seemed unstoppable (25-19).

Thanks to

centimeters

and his success in the triples, a luck that the Catalans hardly even smelled, Villeurbanne achieved a first maximum difference of 11 points that only

seemed capable of countering.

The unexpected French strength and some refereeing decisions at times unhinged a team that went to rest nine points behind on the scoreboard (45-36) and very bad feelings.

Barça tried to hit the table at the start of the third quarter.

The Catalans achieved a positive streak in which

stubbornness shone

to get five points away on the scoreboard (48-43).

The locals, through a Lighty unleashed, however, returned to send

to the canvas, reaching a maximum difference of 16 points in the final moments of the period.

It would be of no use to the visitors trying to drown the attacks of their rival.

When it seemed that the action was ending without consequences, the players of the French team found time and again the way to punish them from beyond the three-point line.

The Catalans got into quicksand.

They failed again and again seemingly clear actions to score and saw how Villeurbanne, instead, managed to get almost impossible baskets.

The French team, despite having its tall men tremendously loaded with fouls, managed to perfectly control the increasingly lukewarm attempts of Barça to, at least, make up the result a little.

His defeat, in the end, with an 80-68 in the light, would be completely unanswerable.
