Barca looking for their first win of the season against Laboral

  • Published:

The previous two games were very close and Laboral managed to emerge victorious in the end both times. However, Barcelona's form is now better, especially after Laboral suffered a bad defeat to Unicaja

Laboral are one step away from securing spot two ahead of this game. A win mean an escape from Barcelona in the table but a defeat would definitely get them back in a rather tricky situation. That makes this a particularly important game. Perasovic and his players are to face Barcelona after their worst game of the season, which resulted in a 27-point defeat to Unicaja home. It's hard to explain what was happening to the team that beat Real, CSKA, Barcelona and Olympiacos in that game.

- First of all, I have to offer my apologizes to anyone who came out to watch us today. You can always lose but not in this manner. I take part of responsibility because I had no idea what was happening to us. I was surprised, which I should not have been - Laboral's coach said. 

However, those games occasionally happen and that just the way things are. Much greater problem is confidence or lack thereof. Perasovic's players are still recovering from that game in the mental sense and it's questionable what kind of mental state they are in ahead of Barcelona:

- This is a match in which we have to do our best. It will be tough but we need to have rhythm and be aware of the fact we cannot have turnovers. Barcelona are in fine form with a good roster and a lot of discipline. They are a team everyone should fear but we beat them twice this season and we have every right to hope for another win - Perasovic said. 

Laboral took advantage of the confusion on Barcelona, as well as their poor form. But, Barcelona are now in excellent form, which means Laboral need to put up one of the best performances this season to beat them. Forward Hanga said:

- Barcelona are a great team when it comes to tactics and we need to be very focused. It's good that we play home. Our fans will help us win. 

Hanga and others need to put a lot of pressure on Barcelona's back court again. Only that can see them win. Laboral will have much greater problems in offense since they rely on Bourousis and Adams too much. Barca have Tomic and Satoransky as great solutions for those two. We'll see how Perasovic plans to go about that and whether he improve team's overall mental state.

Barcelona finally claimed the ACB League top table spot as they beat Murcia the last round. That is very important for team's confidence and for the confirmation of great form. After a 9-point deficit at half time, they went on to get better and win. Satoransky hit 14 points, Doellman added 18, while Tomic fell short of expectations once again to hit only 2 and receive 5 personal fouls in just 16 minutes. 

Tomic will play the crucial role today as he is the only one who can stop Bourousis, while at the same time causing him trouble in offense. Barca won't stand much chance here if Tomic doesn't do his best. The last two games in which Bourousis outplayed Tomic and Laboral ended up winning are the best proof of that.

- Today's game is a chance for us to get back at them for the defeat home. We want to win away, especially because our only away win is the one against Real.

If Barcelona were capable of handling Real, they can definitely handle Laboral as well. The home team caused them a lot of struggle in defense in two previous matches. Let's just say that Laboral have the best defensive end in Top 16 when it comes to opponents' shooting percentages. On the other hand, Barca have less turnovers than any other team, which means this could be a tough game.

Laboral are playing their dream season at home floor, but there was an obvious drop of form lately. Unicaja crushed them by 27 points this weekend. That's not the first time with Perasović's teams because he made this roster do better than their best. The opponents have now started reading actions through Bourousis, and Barcelona have a big advantage there because Tomić and Dorsey can guard Laboral's center pretty well. Their second main weapon is Adams, who'll be guarded by Satoransky. Laboral have beaten Barcelona twice in intense final moments this season, but Barcelona didn't have good form then. Now they're great, they're the first in the national league, and this match could secure them in the Euroleague. The pressure is definitely on Laboral because they can't afford another mistake, especially not after the -27 against Unicaja. Barcelona are playing great, Dorsey brought firmness, Satoransky and Doellman are doing great, and Barcelona won't play another bad match soon, and when that's the case, Laboral don't stand a chance.
