Spanish Copa del Rey (Sergio Llull)

12

In case you are interested in catching footage of 2009 Rockets 2nd Round pick Sergio Llull, ACB is providing a high quality internet stream of the Spanish Cup tournament, the "Copa del Rey" (King's Cup) this weekend. The Copa del Rey is a prestigous cup tournament in the middle of the season, clearly one the season highlights, even if not as important as the ACB championship. Since Americans are not used to this concept - think about a small midseason tournament consisting of the best four NBA teams from each the East and the West, which doesn't have any influence on NBA standings, but everyone badly wants to win. This Cup tournament is really an enjoyable product - high quality stream, high level of play, solid attendance numbers. Yesterday, FC Barcelona - Ricky Rubio (5th pick 2009), Erazem Lorbek (Pacers 2nd Rounder), Juan Carlos Navarro (former Grizzlies), Pete Mickeal - beat CajaSol Sevilla 77:72 and Power Electronics Valencia - Nando de Colo (2009 2nd Rounder), Victor Claver (2009 Trail Blazers 1st Rounder), Florent Pietrus (Mickael's brother) - defeated Estudiantes Madrid 75:73. Today Llull's Real Madrid will face DKV Joventut Badalona as favourite to make it to the semis. Real Madrid also features Lithuanian center Darjus Lavrinovic (who had been rumoured many times to join an NBA team), potential 2010 2nd Rounder Vladimir Dasic, Marko Jaric and the veteran playmaker Pablo Prigioni, plus Americans Travis Hansen and Louis Bullock. Joventut Badalona is the former team of Ricky Rubio and always features a ton of talented youngsters, among them Christian Eyenga (30th pick 2009 by the Cavaliers), Henk Norel (2009 2nd Round pick by the Timberwolves), American sharpshooter Clay Tucker and the up and coming 1991 born point guard Josep Franch, one of the revelations of the season and surely a future NBA draftee. The other quarterfinal will feature Caja Laboral - the great Tiago Splitter, Mirza Teletovic (a more athletic Vladimir Radmanovic) and Brasilian playmaker Marcelinho Huertas - versus hosts Bizkaia Bilbao. Bizkaia Basket Bilbao vs. Caja Laboral Baskonia 19:30 local time Real Madrid vs. DKV Joventut Badalona 21:50 local time Correct me if I'm wrong, but US Central Time Zone should be -7 to the Central European Time Zone, so the Real Madrid game should start at 14:50 US Central Time. The online stream should be accessible via the headline link, or via the official website www.acb.com, which will have a link to the online stream before and after the games. (I haven't heard of any restrictions, usually the stream works fine for watchers from all countries)
