Legia has been waiting for such a match for years, but Warsaw is a groan of my profession. Silesia is two steps away from the zloty
And yet you could not have missed it on the streets of the capital. In Warsaw, thanks to the wonderful game of Legia this season, basketball fashion is back, you can see. In a thousand entertainment and opportunities in the city, people think of basketball, wear basketball T-shirts, look for tickets to a match.
Basketball is back in fashion in Warsaw
In Sunday’s match number three in the Energa Basket League final – after two games in Wrocław there was a 1-1 draw – tickets were stopped fifteen minutes after the sale was launched. The defeat of the team from Warsaw was all the more painful – 74:81.
It was not much. 75 seconds before the end of Legia, she was losing, but only 71:74. I’ll hold my hands. She got three chances from fate to lead to a draw, because after each inaccurate throw she managed to tear the trace from the hands of Silesia. But this time, the Fighting gods did not favor the hosts.
In the end, the end captured Silesia, from under the basket, which Aleksander Dziewa hit and was fouled. He got a free kick and it became clear that this evening for Legia it was the end. Although I built the coach Wojciech Kamiński, which in the game-off many times made up for the team team, this time he will not recover.
Anyway: Dziewa caused the most problems from the beginning, he played concerts. Not.
Legia from the beginning of the blocking possibilities, where they could be done – that is there. The winger Grzegorz Kulka entered the hall on crutches, the middle Adam Kemp did come out on the dance floor, but not in full shape – after taking the bones of the eye socket, he made an entry in the semi-final match with anwil, with a mask on his face. And I couldn’t present myself to myself.
Andrej Urlep used the problems of the Legion perfectly. In the top five, we focused on Martin Meiers, which relieved the center Aleksander Dziewę. And this one on Sunday – especially in the first B – turned out to be for the rivals.
A show by Aleksander Nina. But Legia will also be available in its ace
Although even before the meeting, he was humming “Sen o Warsaw” with Legia fans, there was no further sentiment. which for the center can be embarrassing. But Dziewa – a pupil of Wrocław, a representative of Poland – dominated. In the second quarter, he gathered access to the base several dozen seconds earlier, blocked his opponent on the other side of the court, and after a while he hit for a great pint. Silesia felt at ease with him, built parks.
Do not use the services of Legia, using the services that serve to make the coach Kaminski also get an ace from his sleeve. It cannot be said that Jure Ski was in the foreground from the end of the bench, but it was impossible to check with the character of Legia this season. Until Sunday.
A 33-year downtime for every user with earnings points when leaders – Raymond Cowels (seven points to), Robert Johnson (nine), and Luke Koszarek (zero) – were not doing well.
Skip the entire repertoire of games in vehicles – three-point throw, from the knee, all trade. In 13 minutes he accumulated 13 points, had three harvests, he missed only one throw. In short: he has relieved the leaders of his own.
Fortunately for coach Kamiński in the second Johnson, Cowels at Muhammad-Ali Abdur-Rakhman returned to the game. A good defense (a Legion that wants to defend itself in a zone) can go wild in the attack. The third legionnaires won 22:14. the hall in Bemowo exploded almost immediately. The fans for kosli and ska charge intensely, that they sing in the fourth part of the quarter, they have to stop the game, they perform operations on jumping with them.
This is not the end for Legia
But the people of Wrocław won the nerve. Unexpected end of the hero. D’Mitrik Trice – brother of Travis Trice (15 points on Sunday) – got his equalizer at the very end of the game and used it perfectly. She scored an important seven points, including three, which silenced the stands almost for good.
Five seconds before the end, the hall was filled with the wild joy of all Silesian footballers and the singing of the fans: WKS, WKS, WKS! But it’s not over yet. On Tuesday, Legia will again have a chance to level the rivalry – just like in the match number two in Wrocław. And still be able to dream of the title of Polish champion.
