| COMPETITION SYSTEM
·
48 teams (domestic Cup champions plus best qualified teams
in the most important European leagues) enter a Preliminary
Group Stage, divided into eight groups
of six teams each playing a round-robin. The final standing is based
on individual wins and defeats. In case of a tie between two
or more teams after this group stage, the following criteria
is used to decide the final classification: 1) number of wins
in one-to-one games between the teams; 2) basket average between
the teams; 3) general basket average within the group.
·
The top four teams from each group qualify for a 1/16
Final Playoff (X-pairings, home and away games), with winners
advancing further to 1/8 Finals, 1/4 Finals and 1/2 Finals. · The final is played at a predetermined venue. |

RESUMEN (SUMMARY) Tras un periodo de gloria durante los años 80 de la mano de Arvydas Sabonis ―que sin embargo no cuajó en ningún trofeo continental― el Žalgiris de Kaunas volvió a reverdecer (y nunca mejor dicho) viejos laureles y logró su primer título europeo. Y lo hizo gracias a la portentosa actuación de Saulius Štombergas, un alero rocoso a la antigua usanza dotado de un lanzamiento tan poco ortodoxo como efectivo. En los escasos 29 minutos que estuvo sobre la pista, Štombergas anotó 35 puntos mediante una espectacular serie de lanzamientos.
El Stefanel Milán, que partía como claro favorito, solamente opuso resistencia durante los primeros veinte minutos, pese a que en este periodo los lituanos dominaron claramente el rebote (19 rechaces frente a 9 de su rival). Los norteamericanos del conjunto italiano, Kidd y Bailey, lograron igualar en esta primera mitad un choque en el que el Žalgiris se mostraba claramente superior en el aspecto físico, y posibilitaron que el conjunto italiano lograra su única ventaja de todo el partido (19-21, min. 10).
En la segunda mitad, el bloqueo mental se adueñó de hombres tan experimentados como Nando Gentile, Flavio Portaluppi o Warren Kidd. Tras varios ataques consecutivos fallados por el cuadro lombardo, la ventaja del Žalgiris se disparó hasta los dieciocho puntos (60-42, min. 34), lo que dejó el partido visto para sentencia. Al final, clara victoria del cuadro báltico por quince puntos de diferencia (82-67), ante el regocijo del apenas centenar de aficionados lituanos en las gradas del Pabellón Pionir. |
