by Eurobasket News - Jun 6, 2008 | |  | Ersan Ilyasova (207-F-87) and his AXA FC Barcelona finished second in Spain after a loss from TAU Ceramica Vitoria in the Final series.Barca previously eliminated Tau in the semifinals back in 2004 and 2007. Tau was even closer in 2005 and 2006 making it to the finals and losing twice.
Tau Ceramica won at Palau Blaugrana to pick up a dominant 64:75 success against Barcelona. The home team had looked like they might be capable of their emotional semi-final success over DKV Joventut but after an impressive and frenetic start top the contest, Barca simply folded and lost all of their intensity when Tau found their feet. Splitter top scored for Tau wirth 21 points while Singleton missed out on a double-double with 9 points and 10 rebounds. Ersan Ilyasova and Grimau were the only players to do themselves justice in the Barca team with Grimau scoring 17 points while Ersan Ilyasova claimed 10 rebounds to go with his 21 points.
Tau Ceramica picked up a second victory in Palau Blaugrana against Barcelona who now look to have had their dreams shattered by the side from Vitoria-Gasteiz. Tau secured the 74:78 win at the Fernando Buesa Arena on Tuesday night.Illyasova desperately needed someone to support him again but nothing comprehensive in the backcourt emerged - and that has been the problem of Barca. Ersan Ilyasova was the only one to reach double digits scoring 15 points.
And it went very easy for Tau as they crushed Barca in all three finals games, ending the series with impressive 76:61 victory. Ersan Ilyasova poured in 2 points and made 3 rebounds. |
