With more than tough way ended her journey this year AEK in BCL.
Opposite one Hapoel who thirsted for revenge and within one closed-hellthe “yellow and black” they drifted off with a difference of 40 points (91-51).
He didn’t enter never in the spirit of the match the “Union”, which succumbed to his appetites Randolph (25 p.) and his company, saying goodbye to the Final 4 with the sole survivor of the shipwreck Lemar (21 p.).
The match
Clearly influenced by her atmosphere – and from Hapoel’s tough defense – AEK entered the game. With only mitigating the ease with which the fouls were whistled in favor of the Israelis (5 in just 3.5 minutes), it was not so much the defense that hurt the “Union”. Because she may have been left behind early by Megaris’ three-pointers, but the dominant her problem was that she herself “learn” to score on the other side of the floor.
Indicative that throughout the first quarter the Kanzouris players they did not score two points! And scoring points with just one Mitchell shot and two consecutive 3-pointers Lemar which they gave (temporarily) a breath, they went continually to “killed” attacks. So it wasn’t enough 18-7 of the decade, the picture was getting worse, instead of getting better.
Tremendous difficulty in attacking (with Mitchell switched off) and cheap concentration errors that gave Hapoel easy points. So continuing to play in defense at the foul line and with Randolph executing from everywhere, the Israelis did party. How else to describe a half-time where AEK succeeded just two two points (!)he was finding points only from Lemar or shots and went to the locker room with the heavy 43-22…
Of course, when he returned, he showed his determination to play better defense. But it was too late most. Not only because Hapoel was still finding solutions in attack (with Randolph unsolved problem). But also because the aggressive drought continued (with the most typical example of Miles, which tested the strength of the crowns). So no matter how much Lemar fought or gave some solutions o Jankovic, the game was lost. And the fourth period looked procedural with the score at 59-36.
Still the Israelis didn’t seem willing to pull foot off the gas. It was obvious that they wanted, not only to win, but to do it with me emphatic way. So from the moment that the hot Randolph found another supporter in his person Come on (aside from Carrington), the gap started to grow even bigger. Until it finally reached -40, with the 91-51 to characteristically seal the inability of AEK to cope with the superiority of the opponent and in conditions that had formed against her.
The quarters: 18-7, 43-22, 59-36, 91-51
