The Real Madrid faced his visit to Russia with thirteen consecutive victories in the Euroleague and launched in the top positions of the classification, linking triumphs almost by inertia in a few weeks unbeatable. I arrived then Moscow, where Pablo Laso He had never won, and fate responded cruelly.

First Tuesday, in the CSKA Megasport, with the lowest score of the 'Laso era': 55 points at the end of the match. And then this afternoon, in the Khimki Mytishchi Arena, northwest of the Russian capital, where the white team was the victim of offensive gale from the local set. At the break he had already conceded 55 points, the same as he scored in the whole match against CSKA, and I was losing 24 in the middle of the last quarter before putting on the result until the final 102-94, which in a few weeks will be remembered as a matched day, far from a nightmare evening for those of Laso.

The defeat against CSKA created doubts, especially in a defense that was overcome at all times. Madrid allowed trance to enter Alexey Shved, national star, and he paid dearly: the former NBA took 12 points to rest, with four of four in triples, and nine assists. His constant blockade and continuation was incomprehensibly allowed again and again by the white defense, unable to stop Russian bleeding. The base ended the encounter with 21 points, 13 assists and 31 valuation.

From their hands came the whole Russian game, which they took advantage of Devin Booker (15), Anthony Gill (13), Janis Timma (13), Jonas Jerebko (11) and Sergey Karasev (10), almost all successful from a three-point line that was the paradise for Khimki: 15 pitches scored from beyond the arc and 55% correct. Unstoppable

The Madrid endured the exchange of blows until their triples stopped entering and his attack began to go through real problems. Horrible in defense and thick in attack, without speed or pass, neither Campazzo, nor Laprovittola nor Llull They were able to give rhythm to the team. After arriving eleven down to rest, it is presumed that the 'Lasina' of the locker room could wake up the meringues, but it was not so. The whites tightened in defense and allowed less in their area, but the Khimki linked five straight three-pointers that kept him in the dozen points above.

As an example of the afternoon, the 'Tavares' fight with Timma for a possession, that instead of finishing in jump ended with easy basket of the Russians. The white pvot was not in the game. And his team did not.

A Karasev's triple surreal to one leg and unbalanced he put the unbeatable +24 for the Russians, to whom everything entered. Between Mickey, the best of Madrid with 20 points, and Felipe Reyes made up the game, but Russia leaves more doubts than certainties in whites, who missed a lot Anthony Randolph and Rudy Fernndez.
