Real Madrid left the quagmire that way. Gan after three defeats at the Palace, but far from recovering sensations. In a duel locked and thick, the Baskonia again revealed the white doubts, although this time it did not come to get his way in an end as ineffable as they had been all the previous minutes. A rude error of Stauskas when everything seemed aimed at the extension condemn the Vitorians. The clergy of Ivanovic was anthological. (70-69: Narration and statistics)
Because despite the efforts and offensive prominence of Thompkins (20 points) and Campazzo (11 assists), Madrid did not get rid of Baskonia all night. I permanently felt his breath in the neck, among other things because between Llull (terrible his night), Rudy and Randolph did not match any of the 13 triples attempted (six of 26 in total). And that is not very normal. In the final outcome, when Shields seemed to send everything to overtime, Staukas arrived at Campazzo without any logic, since there were barely a couple of seconds left. The Argentine decided with a free kick.
Obviously, Real Madrid carried everything that happened recently in the backpack. For bad and for good. The mpetu of the one who wants to wake up from his nightmare; impatience and anxiety -Llull was the most obvious face of this, with the run run of the stands in each of his mistakes- from whom he comes from collecting five losses in the last eight appointments, the last Sunday before the Joventut that was Laso's touch of attention. Encasquilladas grimaces, troubled attacks, precipitated defenses. All before a rival in full reinvention, with little to lose more: plagued with injuries and new faces, sunk in the Euroleague table, but with the threat of who won at the Palace a few days ago stating 95 points without complexes.
Christon's Sparks
Madrid, at times, was a love and not power. It linked several positive actions and soon ruined them. Psychoanalysis and it is not the best time of the season for these tribulations, with the Cup just around the corner. Deck, Thompkins and Rudy encouraged the team in the second act, but Baskonia always had a triple by response, especially deadly Matt Janning.
The discomfort had to shake her in some way. Fly over the lack of precision, scare ghosts in the absence of rhythm, the search for the open field, which is the white man. Campazzo knocked at the turn of the locker room and Gaby Deck followed without hesitation. Many of the keys of Real Madrid go through today for the Argentine couple. What a contrast to the third compatriot, one layer cape, yesterday not even among the 12 chosen by Laso.
But Baskonia, despite everything, even with two newcomers with total prominence, is a hard nut to crack. He wasn't going to give up so easy. He grabbed the game with the appearance of Semaj Christon, the talented American base signed to alleviate the plague of injuries at the base post (Granger, Vildoza and now Henry). When I committed the fifth, it seemed the end. Thompkins was already unleashed, but the life of the Vitorians was subtracted. Way back to touch the feat, until Staukas, a guy who comes from the NBA, decided that he had not heard anything. Unforgivable.
