THE TAKE

Two teams looking to bounce back from Week 1 struggles meet on Thursday when AXA FC Barcelona hosts Fenerbahce Ulker in a Group C encounter. Barca was upset 81-78 at Partizan Igokea, while Fenerbahce fell to Real Madrid 72-80. Barcelona head coach Dusko Ivanovic saw some highs and lows on his team in that game. Jaka Lakovic was effective as always with 21 points and 4 assists, Pepe Sanchez peppered the courts for 9 assists and just 1 turnover, while starting center Mario Kasun tallied 13 points. On the other hand, Kasun fouled out in just 15 minutes, Michel Morandais went down during the game with an injury and the rest of the interior defense was porous, allowing Partizan to control the paint and score the win. Meanwhile, Fenerbahce was down 20 after 10 minutes to Madrid, which highlights a concern for head coach Bogdan Tanjevic. On the other hand, Mirsdad Turkcan led the team back to within 4 in the fourth quarter, which shows the team's character. In addition to Turkcan and his consistent dose of 18 points and 10 rebounds, Damir Kaan and Ibrahim Kutluay combined to net 9 three-pointers, which were key in the team's comeback attempt. What's more, point guard Willie Solomon should be back for the trip to Spain this week. Historically this matchup favors Barcelona, which is 9-2 all-time against Fener, including winning the last five. Fenerbahce hasn't beaten Barcelona since 2000 and has never won in Barcelona. With Solomon back and joining Kaan, Omer Onan and Hakan Demirel in the backourt, Fenerbahce will challenge Barca's rotation of Sanchez, Lakovic and Gianluca Basile. The hosts small forward Alex Acker will try to bounce back from a rough start against Fener's Kutluay and athletic backup James White. In the paint, Barcelona brings plenty of versatility, with Kasun, Fran Vazquez, Albert Moncasi, Ersan Ilyasova, Jordi Trias and veteran Denis Marconato, as of last week Euroleague Basketball's all-time games-played leader. They will give different looks against Fenerbahce's frontline of Turkcan, Gasper Vidmar, Emir Preldzic, Oguz Savas and Semih Erden. Despite the depth both teams display inside, unless one of the bigs gets red-hot, this game is likely to be decided from the backcourt, with all signs pointing to Sanchez and Solomon. Barca's new playmaker has all the skills to produce points for others, which combined with Lakovic's steady scoring makes Barca tough. However if Tanjevic can find a way to stop him, it could cut off a steady stream of points for the hosts. On the other hand, Solomon has proven that when hot, he can carry a team anywhere. And his penetration skills could open things up for the many shooters on Fenerbahce to do their job. So keep an eye on the coach's tactics for shutting down those point guards as an interesting game develops in Barcelona. Wednesday, October 31, 2007 Euroleague.net - Gokhan Ture, Istanbul

Quotes Head Coaches

IVANOVIC, DUSKO AXA FC Barcelona "We need to win after losing the first game. We have to be patient, prepared to fight for 40 minutes. Our first goal is to reach the Top 16. We got the full roster for the first time, but having everybody fit to play is a different thing. Fenerbahce Ulker is a talented and ambitious team, with an experienced core, made of Kaan, Solomon, Turkcan and Kutluay. The defense will be the key in order to beat them."

TANJEVIC, BOGDAN Fenerbahce Ulker "It's a kind of the same game like against Real Madrid last week. AXA FC Barcelona has a great roster with full of stars and because of that reason, it's going to be another very tough and difficult game for us. It's an additional handicap to play the game on the road. But I expect my young players to play like at home, with the same attitude. Of course, every time we play, we have a chance for the win. But we have to lessen our mistakes first. If we don't miss so many things as we did in the tragic first quarter against Real Madrid, we can hope for something. So I hope and expect improvement, especially from my young players."

Players

GRIMAU, ROGER AXA FC Barcelona "This is the first of four home games in a row that we want to win. But it will be not easy, because Fenerbahce Ulker has many players with a lot of experience. Our goal is to make the Top 16 and losing a game at home would make it a more difficult task. So we need to be very focused. Panathinaikos and CSKA Moscow are perhaps above the pack, with five or six more teams, including AXA Barcelona, looking for the other four spots."

ONAN, OMER Fenerbahce Ulker "The lose against Real Madrid in last week in front of our own fans a little but upsetting and demoralised us. But the big teams must handle this as a part of this exciting game. We lost to Real Madrid because we made lots of mistakes, maby a match full of mistakes just in the first quarter. We have to focus on each game from the first second until the last second. This is a must for success. AXA FC Barcelona is another very tough step for us to move forward. But my teammates and I believe in each other, that we can make a surprise there if we play the way we did in the rest of the game against Real Madrid, except that first quarter."

AXA FC Barcelona picked up its first win of the Euroleague Basketball season on Thursday by downing Fenerbahce Ulker 82-67 at the Palau Blaugrana in a Group C encounter. Jordi Trias led five Barca scorers in double figures with 14 points as head coach Dusan Ivanovic's side bounced back from last week's loss with a convincing win. Fener, which had Willie Solomon back after an injury sidelined him last week, put up a valiant effort before succumbing in the fourth quarter. The hosts scored 13 unanswered points in the first period en route to a 26-13lead after 10 minutes. Barcelona seemed on course for a blowout win as the lead grew to 17 early in the second period, but Solomon and Omer Onan kept Fener going and the latter's three at the end of the period cut the gap to 44-36 at halftime. The push continued after the break and the gap was cut to 2, but Dennis Marconato and Trias had other ideas. With Jaka Lakovic and Pepe Sanchez confidently running the show, Barcelona remained in control. Solomon and co. did not relent, but they didn't have enough to overtake the hosts down the stretch as the Turkish champs fell to 0-2. Lakovic finished with 13 points and 5 assists, Roger Grimau scored 11, Ersan Ilyasova and Marconato had 10 each and Sanchez finished with 6 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists and 4 steals for the victors. Solomon led Fenerbahce with 19 points, Onan had 12 points and 5 assists and Mirsad Turkcan posted 9 points and 9 rebounds. Marconato won the opening tip for Barcelona and was rewarded with the games first two baskets. Solomon hit a long-range jumper and then James “Flight” White drilled a triple to put Fener ahead 4-5. Marconato turned provider and assisted on a Trias dunk, but Solomon kept the visitors going with a jumper. After Solomon tied it at 10-10 with a drive, Barcelona took over as Ilyasova scored 5 and Trias 4 during a 13-0 storm that seemed to break the game open. With Solomon on the bench with 2 fouls, the visiting attack struggled to generate good opportunities. Onan finally stopped the bleeding for Fenerbahce with a fast break layup, but another Ilyasova triple kept the hosts comfortably ahead as the first period ended with the hosts up 26-13. Oguz Savas got things going for Fener with a hook at the start of the second period, but Mario Kasun and Fran Vazquez had the answers for the hosts. Onan's three was matched by Grimau's. Pepe Sanchez got in the act, setting up Kasun inside and then dropping in a finger roll that increased the advantage to 17. Onan's basket and Semih Erden's three-point play seemed to inspire Fener and soon Turkcan's layup made it 35-25. Solomon and Kasun traded baskets, before Lakovic hit from downtown. However Solomon matched him to keep Fenerbahce going. Vazquez scored a tough basket on the offensive glass, but Onan capped the first half with a triple to get his team within 44-36 at halftime. Savas scored inside early in the third period as Fenerbahce continued to chip away. An Onan layup and Turkcan free throws cut it to 44-42. Marconato answered twice inside for Barca to make it 49-44 and keep the lead from slipping away. Trias added a bucket in the paint as it seemed that Fener had lost its edge, but a powerful Erden slam showed that the visitors weren't done yet. However Gianluca Basile had other ideas drilling a triple to make it 54-46. Sanchez soon had the hosts up 10 and even when Emir Preldzic drilled a three, Trias answered with a jumper. Still Solomon hit from downtown as time in the period expired to make it 59-52 with 10 minutes remaining. Lakovic sliced through the defense for a layup at the start of the fourth quarter, but Erden powered his way to a slam at the other end. The ever-efficient Marconato added a bucket and Lakovic hit from beyond the arc, but Turkcan's mid-range jumper and Preldzic's layup showed the visitors weren't going away. However when Erden was called for his fourth foul – on the offensive end – it significantly weakened the Fener interior defense. It slowly took its toll, as Lakovic added free throws and Kasun threw down a two-handed slam in transition to push the lead up to 14. White fought his way to the basket for 2 points only to see Sanchez sink a three and Grimau add a layup as Barcelona looked to seal the deal.Solomon had another long jumper left in him, but Barca was already starting to kill the clock and there was little that Fener could do as the hosts wrapped up the victory.

Head Coaches

IVANOVIC, DUSKO AXA FC Barcelona "We had a strong start, with good defense, but then we had a lot of mistakes against their best players. Pepe Sanchez had a great all-around game, not only in defense, but also making things happen in offense. Denis Marconato also had a very good game. One thing is having our complete roster, but a very different one is to have everyone in shape. We still have some players who are not 100%."

TANJEVIC, BOGDAN Fenerbahce Ulker "If it keeps playing at this level, AXA FC Barcelona can win the Euroleague. It is in excellent shape now, they played better than us, with more rhythm. Ibrahim Kutluay did not plat tonight and he is very important us. We have to be able to play without him, however, and we did not manage to do that tonight."

LAKOVIC, JAKA AXA FC Barcelona "We knew that it would be a tough game. We had a very cold start in the third quarter, playing a little bit slow. We were able to regain our momentum soon enough to win the game easily."
SANCHEZ, PEPE AXA FC Barcelona "This is a very important win for us. It was logical to think that our opponent would come back in the second half. It was very important for us to be able to overcome critical situations in a Spanish League game against Akasvayu Girona last weekend because that helped us today. This is a good sign, as it means we are growing together as a team."

This is a good sign, as it means we are growing together as a team."
