Qualifying ... THY Unics Kazan

Wat een wedstrijd
Wat een beleving
Wat een comme back Turk ..... eeehhhh  .. solly ....
blijft soms hangen ... Unics Kazan.

Helaas was deze basketball gek niet thuis om deze weergalooze comme back wedstrijd
LIVE te zien.
Soms en dan heel erg is saampjes met de famillie naar een bruiloft gaan veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeel belangerijker dan een potje basketball.

Ik weet wel wat ik achter laat als ik het commentaar lees op de web site van euroleague .net
waar de Franse team ASVEL Lyon Villeurbanne  die bijna thuis speelden .. maar dan toch wel in Oostende in Sleuyter Arena daar.

De echte journalisten van de euroleague.net web site hadden het over dat Villeurbanne de wedstrijd
in pocket had en de man met de hamer was al lang langs gekomen en die dreun was keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeei  ... hard en die dreunde na het verschil was eind derde kwart
15 punten volgens de web site en het werd begin vierde kwart ook nog 19 voor Villeurbanne 60 - 41

Maar dan kwam de Russian Beeeeeeeeeeeeeer .... los en werd wakker van de winter slaap en met
een run van 20 - 0 ............... eeehhh zeg waaaaaaaaaa .... een run van 20 - 0 ... ik las goed werd het
64 - 62 en dat was Knockkkkkk Out ..... en zo is dus Unics Kazan de laatste team die mee mag doen
met de Turkis Airlines EuroLeague en zij komen dan in Poules A ... samen met Efes Pilsen Istanbul en nog met Real Madrid en de rest ook.

Ach ... wat ik gemist heb en geschreven heb is afkomstig van de web site van euroleague .net
waar hun schrijven beter journalistiek werk is ..... denken we allen en wil ik al te graag met jullie mee delen
en waar voor mijn dank voor gebruik.

Unics Kazan makes 2014 Turkish Airlines Euroleague!

Unics Kazan claimed the last remaining ticket to the 2014-15 Turkish Airlines Euroleague Regular Season after rallying from a 19-point deficit to beat ASVEL Lyon Villeurbanne 79-88 in the final of the qualifying rounds at Sleuyter Arena in Ostend, Belgium. James White scored 21 points, D’Or Fischer had 18 plus 8 rebounds, and Curtis Jerrells added 15 points plus 5 assists, leading an improbable comeback by Unics, which now joins Real Madrid, Anadolu Efes Istanbul, Zalgiris Kaunas, Nizhny Novgorod and Dinamo Banco di Sardegna in Group A of the Euroleague regular season. ASVEL took control of the game in the second quarter behind veteran center David Andersen, who scored 11 of his game-high 27 points in the second quarter. The French side built a double-digit margin with triples from Taurean Green and Edwin Jackson, going into halftime up 53-39, and Jackson’s triple extended it to 60-41 in the third. But Unics countered with a huge 0-20 run, with White, Fischer and Jerrells in main roles, re-taking the lead 62-64. Unics never trailed again, as a 2-11 run early in the fourth gave it 68-78. All-in-all it was 8-37 spurt that turned the game around, and paved the way to a big victory and a place in the Euroleague regular season. Meanwhile, Jackson and Amara Sy had 12 points apiece for ASVEL, which will resume its European campaign this season in the Eurocup. 

White and Kostas Kaimakoglou hit triples to get things going for Unics, before baskets from White and D'Or Fischer made it 5-10. But back-to-back triples from Edwin Jackson and Yohann Sangare gave ASVEL its first lead, 13-12. Unics regained the advantage with a 2-8 spurt, during which White and Dmitry Sokolov each scored a pair of buckets, before a three-pointer from Sangare made it 20-22 at the end of the first quarter. Bader opened the third quarter with a triple, and Ahmad Nivins added a layup for 26-22. Curtis Jerrells buried a tough one from long range for Unics, but Nivins scored from close range, and Andersen hit one from long range for 33-27. Viktor Sanikidze made another shot from downtown for Unics, but Andersen was virtually unstoppable with his nifty moves inside, and Taurean Green hit from downtown on the way to opening up 43-33 lead. Unics once again contered with a triple, this one from Kaimakoglou, but a baseline dunk from Sy and triples from Green and Jackson extended it to 51-36. Jerrells had a fastbreak three-pointer in the final minutes, but it was only fitting Andersen closed out the half from close range, giving ASVEL 53-39 halftime lead.

Andersen and Sy scored inside, and Jackson buried a triple, extending it to 60-41 early in the third. White replied with a dunk-plus-foul, and after another basket from Andersen, Unics went on a stunning 0-20 run to re-take the lead. Fischer fueled it with a jumper, and added couple more baskets later on. Kaimakoglou hit a triple, Jerrells scored 5 points, while White had a monster dunk and a pair of jumpers which made it 62-64. ASVEL was without a basket for almost 6 minutes, but Nivins hit a long jumper with a buzzer, to tie it at 64-64 at the end of the third quarter. At the start of the fourth, Nikos Zisis and Keith Langford nailed triples, before Jerrells and Kaimakoglou added driving layups. A pair of mid-range jumpers from Fischer extended it to 68-78. Green snapped 2-11 run with a jumper, before a put-back and a triple from Andersen cut it to 75-80 with 2 minutes to go. After a timeout, however, Jerrells threw a pass for Fischer’s alley-oop dunk, then took it to the basket himself, extending it back to 9 points with 57 second remaining, before White and Langford sealed the deal from the foul line, completing a huge comeback victory.

ASVEL Lyon Villeurbanne vs. Unics Kazan         79-88

                     HEAD COACHES       QUOTES

PEDOULAKIS, ARGIRIS Unics Kazan "This game had two sides to it, just like yesterday.In the first half, ASVEL got great percentages and made us nervous. We did not react well, playing with our instincts instead of with our mind. I told my team before the game that they were playing three guards, so we had to put inside pressure and make their guards get into foul trouble. The second half we started from our defense and improved well on that part of the game. We changed our game from playing instinctively to playing as a team, 5-on-5, with our mind. We knew out of our experience that these kind of games can change in 2 minutes, making a 12-point difference. We had to stay calm and did so. I am very happy with our qualification. With having seven national team members playing the World Cup, we only had six practices together.This was the most important game for us. Three days, three games, and every day a final. I am very happy with this great end." VINCENT, PIERRE ASVEL Lyon Villeurbanne "We got close to a surprise but in the end Kazan won. We had a good plan what to do, but it got hard to rotate once we got into foul trouble. We controlled the game very well for 20 minutes, but 20 minutes is not enough to win a game. They put pressure on our 3-position, and when we started rotating and they came back, we were shooting too quickly. We lost confidence, and never found the moment to come back into the game. Congratulations to Unics. They put lots of physical pressure on us in the second half and after that executed very well."
