How could it be otherwise, it was a strange night in Miln. A soulless duel, which cost to carry out much more of the account to Real Madrid. The coronavirus left the Mediolanum Forum empty and in that strangeness of canvases in the stands and squeak of slippers, those of Pablo Laso did not find the devastating rhythm of the last days. Finally, Armani's own negative inertia collided with the endless desire to never lose Rudy Fernndez and with a Tavares for which no one finds antidote. It was the sixth triumph of white's run in Euroleague. (73-78: Narration and statistics)

The sport without the heat of the stands is a different show. But before the silence, the rarity of an encounter in which everything was heard, Madrid was affected by the casualties. Although since the triumph cup seems to travel by rocket, fatigue takes its toll on those who pull the car in this imps. Two days after winning the Unicaja in Mlaga again, I traveled with only 11 pieces –without Randolph, Llull, Mickey, Deck or Causeur– and rotate only with 10, including three minutes of a Salah Mejri that is not adapting at all on his return to the club. In the quintet itself with three 'greats', Laso's juggling was seen.

The Armani took advantage of the initial confusion with an unusual fang. It is a team that has lost its way, also hit by injuries, after its hopeful start to the course. With his children and the joy that gave him the success, shake Madrid and put distances (30-13) that he could not have dreamed in the full every one he is in: he has lost, with last night, eight of the last nine in Euroleague. And the playoffs move away. The coldness affected Campazzo and also Carroll, without the usual habit of the last few days.

Laprovittola

But the whites, with the energy of Rudy and Laprovittola – still finding their place – from the bench, plugged in a brave lease, with a 0-17 of pure self-esteem. Although on the first break of Tavares, which was undoubtedly the only problem that Ettore Messina was not able to solve, he lost his way back to the game.

So I wandered the night in Miln, in which neither shone nor Sergio Rodrguez, in which Felipe Reyes and Luis Scola relive those unstoppable battles of yesteryear in the quarantine. Madrid missed Campazzo, who made the third foul just back from changing rooms. And he couldn't get back into battle, as if loneliness affected him at his own vital pace. Again as in the second quarter, he had to return for a whip of rage, also commanded by Rudy Fernndez, enviable his delivery and his energy, three triples as puales in the finish line.

The final act was a white storm. Now, Garuba, who had had problems at the beginning, became strong in the area. And Madrid, with its two usual struts on the bench, without the huge Campazzo and Tavares, flew into the Mediolanum, delving into the doubts of the Miln. It was another hurtful partial (0-15), of which they indicate that a team does not walk fine. With Rudy putting Madrid ahead for the first time all night.

In the absence of four minutes and already with inertia of victory, Laso injected the duel to his mortal do, which has dominated any rival that comes before him, whether in ACB, in the Cup or in Euroleague. Campazzo, missing all the above, took the reins. Y Tavares influences key actions. Even in the last one, in which Micov had a pitch to take the game to extra time, he found his infinite hands. And before that fast giant, everything gets dark.
