the era of Roger Grimau as coach of Barça he started this Thursday with a victory in the Trofeu Orum Ciutat de Lleida against Força Lleida (80-103), a team from the LEB Oro (second division), in the first friendly with the public of the preseason for the Barça team .
Both teams are linked by a collaboration agreement and already met last Sunday at the Palau Blaugrana in a match behind closed doors and without a score.
On this occasion, Força Lleida surprised the Barcelona team from the beginning by taking the first quarter (20-16), but Barça turned the result around at half-time (43-44), driven by the versatility of the rookie Jabari Parker and the aim of Nico Laprovittola.
The Argentinian point guard kept the inspiration going in the second half and, with the contribution of Kalinic, Paulí y Satoransky, the Barca team improved its performance on both sides of the track to escape on the scoreboard at the end of the third quarter (54-78). A dominance that continued in the last period until the final whistle (80-103).
Grimau was able to count on all the first team players except for the internationals who have played in the World Cup this summer and have not yet joined the team: Willy Hernangómez, Alex Abrines, Darío Brizuela, Joel Parra y Rokas Jokubaitis.
