Spanish basketball summary: Basconia - Braugen 74:76/Sport1
Boban Marjanovic took advantage tonight (between Monday and Monday) of the fact that the game between his team Houston and the Los Angeles Clippers was only for the record and meaningless (Houston is out of the playoffs, the Clippers secured the ranking in the West in advance), and provided a surprise to the audience at the "Crypto Arena" when he deliberately missed a line The penalty to allow everyone in the hall to get a free chicken sandwich.
During the fourth quarter, in Houston's 105:116 victory over the Clippers, the giant center stood on the line, well aware of the marketing campaign of the Chick-fil-A chain that promised everyone in the hall a free chicken sandwich if an opposing player missed two consecutive free throws. The operation is intended, among other things, to fire up the local crowd when an opponent stands on the line in an attempt to get him out of concentration.
Marjanovic (35, 2.24 m) stood on the line, missed the first shot, and the crowd started to get excited, smelling the potential. At this point, Marjanovic recognized the excitement, told the crowd "I'm handling it, it's on me", missed the second shot - and while the thousands of fans cheered, he waved a finger at them and celebrated with them, when even the announcer in the hall went wild with joy.
Of course, this is an entertaining moment, which became viral on social networks, and Buban, full of self-humor, continued to be an entertaining attraction and was called by many as "the people's hero". On the other hand, many called him a "clown" who behaves unsportsmanlike. Center Sain 13 points and 8 rebounds in 12 minutes tonight, well above his average, and he will be a free agent this summer. Now it is interesting whether this incident will strengthen his position in the league, or whether it will harm him.
