Xavi Pascual half - life is spent in an attic. It is decorated with dozens of photos with titles won in his years as coach of Barcelona. Before descending the narrow staircase leading to the track Palau, often look askance snapshots. And it does, perhaps aware that sooner or later, despite the successes pasts, it's time to leave his small temple. At the moment, still he is wringing his head to correct those infinite systems that players saved as they can. And assuming resists, and also claiming that he, and he alone, will be the designated -and despedido- if the season ends again white .
Unpredictable by nature, Barcelona, after leaving derided in the last Copa del Rey, after seeing how Gustavo Ayon - rejected in Palau- just as MVP, changed its face against Olympiakos. And if he did was radically not only by the tremendous eruption of Dorsey (12 points, eight rebounds, two blocks and three assists) , the great success in the outside shot or the involvement of new defensive players. He also had something to do Xavi Pascual, who rescued for the cause Perperoglou and toyed four. And the Greek forward, in addition to sustaining Printezis, traditional whip, finished as top scorer of the match (16 points, the same as Hackett).
While looking arguments put Barca metamorphosis, few as resounding as the oneproposed by Dorsey. The same thing, just after winning the league fled to the NBA, where he returned to Europe with more pain than glory. Former Galatasaray winger, although it was two weeks without competing with its endless biceps dragged to a club that begins to look with new eyes its future in the Euroleague. With 4-4 forward also to Olympiakos who snatched the average of the first leg (+12), shares the fourth place with his next opponent, Khimki . Real Madrid, who won in the first round and must still play at the Palau, is one win away.
The day had not started well, with Abrines in the newly operated hospital for acute appendicitis . Olympiakos, who started walking freely through the Barca area with Spanoulis scoring three consecutive trays (3-10 min. 5) was removed from the track just in time Dorsey replaced Tomic. The Greeks, with the stunning view of the US, are vision blurred, both in attack and defense. Doellman not even matter that go unnoticed to see three fouls in the seventh minute (he closed the evening with valuation -8). Or that Tomic scored his first basket 23 minutes.
Passed a first quarter that Barca ended with a two plus one of Samuels, Barca began to fly before a melted Olympiakos that badly. Spanoulis was immortalized in the bank, and Pascual, this time astillarlos clenched teeth until they held on average as there's no tomorrow. Another world.
