THE TAKE

Akasvayu Girona hopes to remain among the leaders in Group C as it hosts CSU Asesoft. Coach Pedro Martinez's Girona improved to 3-1 by securing a clutch road victory at Spirou Charleroi as veteran point guard Arriel McDonald hit 4-of-4 free throws down the stretch to secure the victory. The Spaniards shot just 47% from the field and turned over the ball 21 times, but a distinct advantage from the foul line (20-of-23 - 87% to 10-of-15 - 67%) proved the difference. Power forward Jackson Vroman had 21 points and seven rebounds while small forward Fernando San Emeterio had 13 points, eight rebounds, two assists and two steals and center Marc Gasol collected 10 points, eight rebounds and three blocks. Martinez's team has found its form and welcomes the Romanians with a three-game winning streak and its sights set on being co-leader of Group C at the end of the day. Asesoft is 1-3 and knows its chances of reaching the elimination rounds sink drastically if it cannot produce a road win in Spain. Coach Mladan Jojic's Romanian champion has dropped its third straight game last week, losing at home against Galatasaray on a game-winner by reserve Cuneyt Erden in the waning seconds. Asesoft shot a respectable 47% from the field and turned over the ball just 10 times. But the Romanians could not take advantage of a 11 more free throws made than Galatasaray took (24-of-29 to 8-of-13), wasting a 27-point showing off the bench by Bojan Obradovic. The power forward actually was one of just a larger spark by Jojic's reserves, who out-scored the starters 47-34. Jojic will need to find a better balance than that if Asesoft wants to stay alive for the elimination round.

Akasvayu Girona took an important step forward to reach the elimination rounds in Group C by beating CSU Asesoft Ploiesti 73-65 at home on Tuesday. Akasvayu now ties with Galatasaray Cafe Crown for the top spot in Group C, each with a 4-1 record. Meanwhile, Asesoft dropped to 1-4 and ties for the fifth place with Hanzevast Capitals of Groningen. Arriel McDonald paced the winners with 14 points while Roman Montañez, Fernando San Emeterio and Marc Gasol each added 10 for Akasvayu. Arvydas Cepulis had 22 points for Asesoft, Rashard Griffith posted a double-double of 15 points and 10 rebounds, Reggie Elliott added 11 points while Bojan Gnjato grabbed 11 boards for the guests. McDonald and Victor Sada allowed Girona to get a 18-9 lead after 10 minutes, while Montañez had 5 points in a 7-0 run that broke the game for good, 34-19. Cepulis and Griffith tired to get Asesoft back in the game, but Girona boosted its lead to 42-24 at halftime and then again to 54-31 midway through the third quarter. Nothing changed in the final period, as Asesoft only rallied once the outcome was clear.

Both teams struggled to score in the early going, as free throws by Jarod Stevenson and a three-pointer by McDonald gave Akasvayu a 6-3 lead after 4 minutes. Cepulis and Griffith kept Ploiesti in the game, but Gasol and McDonald ignited a 10-2 run that Predrag Drobnjak and Sada capped with consecutive baskets, good for a 18-9 Akasvayu lead after 10 minutes. Montañez buried a three-pointer while San Emeterio added consecutive baskets to keep the hosts way ahead, 25-14. Darius Hargrove stepped up with a basket and Cepulis added a three-pointer but only managed to get Ploiesti within 27-19. It didn't last long, however, as Montañez had 5 points in a 7-0 run that broke the game open, 34-19. San Emeterio kept pacing Girona, as the hosts dominated the game now with outstanding defense. Jackson Vroman and Stevenson boosted Akasvayu's lead to 42-24 at halftime. Griffith stepped up with a put-back layup right after the break but Gasol answered from downtown while McDonald added free throws for a 47-26 Akasvayu margin. Ploiesti needed a comeback to return to the game and Reggie Elliott tried to ignit one with a layup and a three-pointer. McDonald shined with a three-pointer while San Emeterio made free throws to make the hosts stay out of trouble at 54-31. Griffith and Cepulis did not find much help around, while foul shots by McDonald and Sada made it a 21-point game, 62-41, after 30 minutes. Akasvayu tried to sit out its best players and give the chance to seldom-used ones such as Ivan Radenovic. Ploiesti only managed to trade baskets, as Cepulis and Elliott got the guests within 71-54 with 3 minutes to go. The outcome was clear and even when Asesoft rallied, Akasvayu had already cruised to a well-deserved win.

Head Coaches

MARTINEZ, PEDRO
Akasvayu Girona
"We have played very well in defense and now we have to think about our next game which is going to be more difficult. The last five minutes we played very badly in attack, only shooting threes without scoring. This was also influenced by the lack of concentration of the players, because when you feel that the game is already won, your defense decreases and you normally don't play very well. Arriel is fine. He just has a cut in the eyebrow nothing, to worry about."

"Today was an easy game for us, we needed this game to prepare for our next game against Bilbao. We tried to put Jarod Stevenson into the game to have more confidence, we tried to work Jackson Vroman and tonight we made a good job to give them a good chance and opportunity."
