Eurocup 2020-21

(From 30-09-2020 to 30-04-2021)

 

 

COMPETITION SYSTEM

·          24 teams (selected by invitation from ULEB among its registered members, based on their domestic and international results over the previous years) enter a Regular Season, divided into four groups of six teams each playing a round-robin. The final standing is based on individual wins and defeats. In case of a tie between two or more teams after this group stage, the following criteria is used to decide the final classification: 1) number of wins in head-to-head games between the teams; 2) basket average between the teams; 3) general basket average at the end of the Regular Season; 4) points scored; 5) sum of quotients of points scored and points allowed. [NOTE: In accordance with Eurocup bylaws, all points scored in extra period(s) will not be counted in the standings, nor for any tie-break situation.]

·          The top four teams in each group after the Regular Season qualify for the Top 16 stage, comprising four groups of four teams each playing a round-robin.

·          The group winners and runners-up after the Top 16 stage qualify for a 1/4 Final Playoff (X-pairings, best of 3 games) and later 1/2 Final Playoff (also played as a best of 3 games knock-out round).

·          The two winners of the 1/2 Final Playoff qualify for the Final (best of 3 games). The two finalists obtain a wild card to participate in Euroleague 2021-22.

RESUMEN (SUMMARY)

En el primer partido de la final de la Eurocopa, el Monaco Basket superó con grandes apuros, y prácticamente sobre el pitido final, al UNIKS Kazán. Con constantes alternativas en el marcador durante el último cuarto, dos tiros libres de Marcos Knight a falta de 27 segundos y dos espectaculares acciones defensivas de Mathias Lessort otorgaron al cuadro monegasco la primera victoria en esta serie final al mejor de tres, que se resolverá en los próximas días en Kazán, en donde se jugará el segundo partido (y, si fuera necesario, también el tercero) debido a que las restricciones de viajes internacionales provocadas por la pandemia de COVID-19 obligaron a modificar la habitual secuencia de partidos finales 1-2-3 ―con los partidos 1 y 3 correspondientes a los encuentros como local del equipo con ventaja de campo en la serie, en este caso el UNIKS― por 2-1-3.

 

Los locales tuvieron un comienzo fulgurante, y con sendos triples de Knight, Bost y Demahis-Ballou lograron su primera ventaja importante (11-2, min. 4), que entre Canaan, Klimenko y Brown se encargaron de reducir (13-11, min. 7). Un parcial de 0-6 al comienzo del segundo cuarto otorgó al UNIKS su primera ventaja del partido (23-24, min. 13), y en medio de una gran igualdad ―aunque casi siempre con ligeras ventajas visitantes― se llegó al descanso (42-44). El dominio ruso en la pintura se reflejó en canastas tras rebotes ofensivos que permitieron a los visitantes abrir una importante brecha mediado el tercer cuarto (45-55, min. 25), que los locales se encargaron de neutralizar (59-59, min. 29). Una bandeja de Gray sirvió para cerrar el tercer cuarto con ligera ventaja local (65-64). La igualdad continuó en el último periodo, y en medio de constantes alternativas en el marcador ―casi siempre a favor del equipo ruso― se entró en los últimos dos minutos de partido (81-82). Una bandeja de Theodore situó un 86-87 para los visitantes a falta de 48 segundos, aunque en el siguiente ataque Knight volvió a poner en ventaja a los locales desde la línea de personal tras cuatro posesiones consecutivas del Monaco Basket. Una magnífica defensa de Lessort permitió a Gray ir de nuevo a la línea de tiros libres a falta de seis segundos, y aunque únicamente convirtió el primero de sus lanzamientos Lessort nuevamente se erigió en el bastión defensivo de su equipo al taponar una bandeja de Theodore sobre la bocina que hubiera forzado la prórroga.

RESUMEN (SUMMARY)

El Monaco Basket inscribió su nombre en el palmarés europeo tras superar nuevamente en el segundo partido de la final de la Eurocopa al UNIKS Kazán, y nuevamente tras un desenlace dramático. A falta de 15 segundos para la conclusión del encuentro, los locales vencían por dos puntos (83-81), pero un “2+1” de J.J. O’Brien y dos tiros libres de Marcos Knight a falta de tres segundos sellaron la victoria y el título para el cuadro monegasco. El máximo anotador del partido volvió a ser el base estadounidense Rob Gray (25) ―elegido MVP de la fase final―, que estuvo bien secundado por O'Brien (16 puntos), Knight (14 puntos y unos sorprendentes, para un base, ¡¡¡12 rebotes!!!) y Dee Bost (14 puntos y 4 asistencias). En el UNIKS, por su parte, destacaron John Brown (16 puntos) y Jordan Theodore (15 puntos y 6 asistencias).

 

Un triple desde la esquina de John Holland y una bandeja de Artjom Klimenko pusieron el 5-0 para los locales dentro aún del primer minuto, aunque un triple de Dee Bost otorgó la primera ventaja al Monaco Basket (7-8, min. 3). En medio de una gran fluidez ofensiva en ambos conjuntos se llegó al final de un primer cuarto muy igualado (26-24). Rob Gray e Isaiah Canaan intercambiaron triples para abrir el segundo cuarto. Pese a que un nuevo triple de Gray otorgó a los visitantes la máxima ventaja del partido hasta ese momento (39-45, min. 19), Theodore y Brown lideraron la respuesta de UNIKS, y al descanso se llegó con las espadas en todo lo alto (47-48). La igualdad volvió a ser la tónica durante el tercer cuarto, a cuya conclusión se llegó con leve ventaja local (67-66). Dos canastas de Mathias Lessort y Knight a falta de 3’35’’ volvieron a estirar el marcador para los visitantes (73-79), pero los locales se negaron a claudicar y Jamar Smith logró empatar a falta de 1’38’’ (79-79). Un lanzamiento exterior del propio Smith a falta de 15 segundos colocó al UNIKS en posición inmejorable para hacerse con la victoria y forzar el tercer partido de la serie final (83-81), pero el escolta estadounidense falló un triple ganador a falta de tres segundos y Knight certificó la victoria del Monaco Basket desde la línea de personal.
