- The Slovenian escort scored 22 points and was key in the victory of the Joventut
Real Madrid ended up losing a game that dominated for 36 minutes against a Joventut who knew how to wait for his moment to prevail in the last four minutes of the game 83-86.
Klemen Prepelic with a triple drew 81 to enter the last minute of the game, and Tony Wroten with another 3-pitch shot ahead of Penya, 83-84. Another basket of Prepelic, after a strong defensive failure Madrid put the 83-86 final without the triple throws and Randolph or Laprovittola could take the team to extra time.
Bleeding and with little rhythm. That's how the game started. Real Madrid and Joventut took the pulse of the crash. Defense failures included from the green-black team that allowed Anthony Randolph to think and almost write a book to score two triples.
Pablo Laso coach of Real Madrid, ruled out Facundo Campazzo, Trey Thompkins, Jeff Taylor and Salah Mejri for the match, because the accumulation of matches – this week there is a double Euroleague day again – he runs over the players.
Another highlight of the first act, which ended with 17-10, was the attempt to reconcile Jaycee Carroll with the score that ended with 7 points to his credit.
White dominator start
In the second quarter, Madrid played tripping. When it seemed that he was going to break the game, he slowed down and allowed the Joventut to reengage on the scoreboard, at which point he would squeeze a little to distance himself.
The rebounding superiority of Real Madrid was enough to reach the changing rooms with 42-34 on the scoreboard.
An incentive of the match was the test that Klemen Prepelic, a player assigned by Madrid to Penya, had to pass. He did it without penalty or glory in the first 20 minutes of play.
Carroll and Prepelic matched in the third quarter. Professor and applicant. Present and, perhaps, future. While Gabriel Deck took a good run in attack to cement the Madrid advantage, 52-38 (m.23.30).
The landscape did not change and when it seemed that Madrid was definitely breaking the game, the Joventut, on its own merits and other people's demerits, returned to approach on the scoreboard although without more, without fear, without trying to undertake larger companies. At the end of the third act, 70-61.
The game was embarrassed at the start of the final quarter with losses, bad decisions, failures and fouls by both teams. The marker narrowed, 73-68 (m.34.15).
Penya knew how to wait for her moment
Laso freed Sergio Llull from the corset of the direction of the game, putting Nico Laprovittola on the track and at the same time, while Joventut, now yes, scared Madrid and for the second time in the game he put himself on the scoreboard , after the initial 0-3, 75-76 (m.36).
After a placid match came the pressure and nerves the last four minutes of the crash. A basket of Deck and a triple of Randolph returned to franchise Madrid, 80-76, in a pispás, but a triple of Prepelic put the tie at 81 with which he entered at the last minute.
Madrid paid for their fatigue, for not breaking the game when he could and for his loaded schedule.
