Jasikevicius'

Barça

tries to end the unforgettable

Laso era

, there are things that do not vary. The character of Real Madrid is still there, heroes and years go by. It is like an identity stamp, a rebellion that may not give him to reign in Europe, but that makes him feared by all. And what better than to inaugurate the new times with a title, with the fourth consecutive Super Cup, thanks to a spectacular comeback, full of epics. And to a proper name.

Sergio Llull

, eternal. [83-88: Narration and statistics]

Because Llull (MVP), who ended up in tears of emotion where four summers ago he broke his knee, was the main rebel. Like so many other times. The one who infected the rest before the Barça might, the one who believed when no one else did. With 19 points of disadvantage and all deranged. The Spaniard played the rebellion and his ride was joined by

Alocen, Poirier, Williams-Goss

... Those who were already there and those who arrived. To stiffen Barça, which melted in the heat of Santiago Martín, who improperly wasted a huge income.

The final was a final, as if it were not preseason, as if the brown skin of the players still did not exist. The classic of always, with its intensity and its controversies. With the pending accounts, with the types that take the airlift, especially moved this summer. Contrary to what one might think, fatigue was not synonymous with mistakes or boredom. In Santiago Martín, fireworks, a first half marked by the exchange of offensive blows, the triples of Oriola and Alocén, the early irruption of Llull and the referee errors that led to the only pull.

With the youth squad Ndiaye on track for Yabusele's third - without Randolph or Thompkins still the position of four is lame for Laso - Brandon Davies started alone in a counterattack in which he clearly committed steps before the intimidation of Poirier.

Pérez Pizarro signaled a foul by the Frenchman and Peruga punished Causeur with technique.

After a robbery by Mirotic, Barça put the maximum at that time (46-37), although a triple by Heurtel avoided greater evils just before the break.

But the cliff was there for Madrid, which was launched between its own ruckus with the protests and its slump around the dressing room.

With the prominence now of Mirotic, whom Yabusele watched from too far away, those of Jasikevicius gave a whip in the afternoon with a 17-4 return (63-44).

Laso asked "aggressiveness!"

and the whites were trying to reengage, but Barça had the game downhill.

Everything seemed doomed, actually.

He ran and liked himself, he threw with the confidence that his mattress of points gave him, Higgins appeared ... And with the fatigue in the opponent's legs, who finished playing the previous morning and lost on the way to Rudy.

But, when the panorama is more complicated is when that self-love that this Madrid seems to have not lost usually comes out, despite the facelift in its squad.

Alocen emerged (unpublished in the semifinal) and, above all, a Llull as it was not remembered.

In the throes of the comeback, with no air in his preseason lungs, the Spaniard grabbed the duel by the lapel.

He scored two consecutive triples and the whites came close with a 2-12 (71-64) run.

Higgins responded and Calathes tried to lower his hand to the shock, but it was difficult for him to finish off Barça, also with beach energy.

After a triple by Kuric after a wonderful pass from the Greek point guard, another white blow, this time with Alocen and Poirier as the protagonists.

The hand showing the personality that promises a beautiful future.

The Frenchman with a physical display that did not make Tavares miss.

Yabusele ended the comeback with two free throws and then it was Barça already a boxer knocked out.

No news from Mirotic, with Higgins well defended by Taylor.

Davies took the responsibility, who missed the last two on a finish line to which Madrid went with inertia, a final partial of 4-19.

The Super Cup is not comparable to any other title, it does not erase the past 'blank' year.

But beating Barça like that, smiling like this, is not a bad plan to start the course.
