Incredible, unimaginable and unrepeatable!
The match between Real and Ephesusin Madrid, made history for the Euroleaguebut at the same time he did something similar Shane Larkin!
In a game that was then decided from four overtimes (!)the American guard became the first player to stay on the floor for over 53 minutes!
In particular, the player of the Turkish champions fought for 53:11”having 32 points (6/7b., 4/11d., 6/11t.), 5 rebounds, 9 assists, 6 turnovers and 9 earned fouls, accumulating 33 points in the rating system.
However, apart from Larkin there was one more Efes player who stayed more than 50 minutes on the court. THE Tibor Plaiswho fought for 52:56”having 14 points (1/2b., 2/6d., 3/11tr.), 11 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 foul, 1 block.
In the meantime, Larkin and Pleiss made history with minutes played in a match, surpassing another Efes player who held the record to this day!
He was the Marcus Brownwho in the defeat in the second overtime (92-91) of the Turkish team (s.s. then called Efes Pilsen) by the Barcelona, on October 30, 2002had struggled for exactly 50 minutes!
!? HISTORICAL RECORD !?
Shane Larkin is the FIRST player in TODA la history @Euroleague que supera los 50 minutos jugados en un unico partido.
