Duel of Champions
The Regal Barcelona receives this Thursday in Los Angeles Lakers in a matchup headliner between the European champions and the NBA.
No doubt the presence of the Lakers at the Palau Blaugrana is a great attraction for the fans, as is the opportunity to see in action the best team in the best league in the world.
It will be the showdown between the top two teams from each continent, a final Intercontinental to settle who is the best.
With Pau Gasol and Kobe Bryant as the main figures, the Lakers come to this party in the middle of the season, while the Catalans do more filming.
Andrew Bynum will be sidelined by injury in the run by Phil Jackson, while Bryant will play just a few minutes, and that is not in top physical condition.
Barcelona feels capable of beating the super champions, they said the “bomb” Juan Carlos Navarro: “I told Pau, half joking and half serious, we’d win for sure.”
This Thursday at 20 and 30 hours will be held this meeting, which will be played rematch in October 2008 in Los Angeles when the Lakers won for just the four points (108-104) to the Blaugrana.
We believe that men Xavi Pascual, owners of the best squad in Europe, can give a surprise to the all mighty Lakers….
