He Ucam Murcia Cb It will not be part of the Basketball Champions League this season. The university team was only missing the last step of the previous phase that has been played in Bulgaria, after beating the Polish Start Lublin and Juventus Utena Lithuano, But he has not been able to complete the mission he went to seek when he fell into the final against Elan Chalon French (88-96). A Batacazo that prevents the Murcia club from being in the maximum competition of the FIBA, So the Europe Cup will finally play this course.
A UCAM Murcia must be made with the European second course that was overcome and handcuffed at all times by his rival on the decisive day of his concentration in the city of Samokov. He could not face a super intense, incisive rival and with such a vertical game that generated a lot of vertigo in university students. Only during a stretch of the second quarter what Elan Chalon was looking for and ended up condemning a Murcian club that has seen as his main target of the preseason was vanished in his hands.
With a match that remembered what happened both in Prague and in the Palacio de los Deportes last season, Elan Chalon disguised himself from the Nymburk at times to disconnect all the virtues of a university group that does not yet have their defects polished. And you don't have them even even started the course. But the previous round of the Champions League is not designed for it and the UCAM, already diminished in the power wing against the casualties of Gates and Rubén López de la Torre, found no reference to try to counteract a French team that has passed over all the favorites to be done with that place, since it has been imposed since the side of the painting in which the Hungarian falco and the Portuguese Portuguese have also been imposed.
With Emanuel Cate as the only reference, both in attack and defenseto counteract a chalon led by HILL (26 points) and Gaudoux (23 points and 12 rebounds) UCAM Murcia ran out of arguments to be able to turn a game in which he always went to tow. He did not spare the university team in efforts, lacking solutions to the problems he found about the parquet, but it was not enough in a party in which he did not find his maximum offensive references.

An electric start
Sito Alonso began to start with the entrance of Rieste and Falk in the quintet for the positions of Alero and Ala-Povot in about five minutes in which they occurred of everything. The Elan Chalon burned Rueda at the start, the speed in the execution in his game joined his success to take the UCAM to the limit in this section. He endured the university team with a great Rieste that scored 7 points, but who made three fouls in this section in which his team soon entered Bonus (10-10). However, Sito Alonso had to stop it with dead time when the French picture was taken on the scoreboard (14-19). The UCAM had to tighten something else in defense, and with the entrance of Forrest, Sant-Roos and Cate adjusted something more this facet. The success from the free kick of the university students allowed them to maintain the exchange of baskets before a very incisive, vertical and effective Elan Chalon in short possessions (25-25). A new sprint of the French team in the last minute served him to open a small gap again, with an intense defense that led Murcians to make mistakes and not be able to execute their plays (26-29).
The UCAM answers
The UCAM seemed to take the tone that the party required in defense after the triple failed of Nakic and Forrest. Sant-Roos appeared twice, with a robbery and a plug, which allowed Cacok and Ennis baskets to turn the score (33-32). The university team squeezed behind, which seemed to move better in a stage with few revolutions and that is why the Elan Chalon had to stop him after a triple of Dejulius (36-34). Those of Sito Alonso continued with their script, with a mate against Cacok that gave him even more wings. However, four minutes for the break the French team reacted. Especially after a technique to the university bench that opened a partial of 3-11, only broken by a triple of Nakic, which put everything back up by not being able to find the hoop in several plays (41-45). He had to stop the UCAM coach, for a last arreón of his own thanks to the momentum of Cate and Forrest, however, it was the Elan Chalon who closed this first part in which only for a short time he did not play what he was looking for (47-49).
Bad symptoms
The symptoms at the start of the third quarter were nothing good, and they were confirmed ten minutes later. Because the UCAM did not return to the track with a new formula or a new recipe, while the Elan Chalon had a plan that was not going to run. The departure partial of 2-6 began to complicate things and joined a Jeremiah Hill who continued adding points to his score. The French team had an advantage of eleven points four minutes from the end, which made all the alarms jump and cause the dead time of Sito Alonso (53-64). A located Alonso who later had to leave eliminated, by a technique to the Madrid and two to the bench, when the game began to sparks and even Dylan Ennis had to sit after an intense duel with Chouupas. Without Sito Alonso at the controls, the university students maintained an enzyme defense that did not change the script much either. He tried to turn the UCAM situation by mediation of Sant-Roos, Nakic and a cate who pulled the reserve in his deposit to continue scratching points. However, a triple of Darling on the horn was the last blow received in this period (65-76).
No option to the comeback
A 7-0 departure partial, with an incisive Ennis in this section, changed the situation for a UCAM Murcia who took its opportunity to grab the game (72-76). The French team entered Bonus in the absence of eight minutes to the end, but managed to remake to recover the advantage with direct and fast baskets (73-80). It was there when he began to suffocate the possibilities of a UCAM who tired of swimming against the countercurrent. He did not lower his arms at any time the university team, which came to place four points from his rival with Ennis as a reference (76-80). However, with Hill and Goudoux marking the rhythm and campaigning to their wide in the painting of UCAM, they managed to recover the ten points of difference (77-87) and manage them until the end. The Murcian picture tried to hurry his options, but there was no way when the clock also turned to its maximum enemy (88-96).
