HE real Madrid won his visit. Bologna Virtus in Euroleague (79-96) in a match with five Hezonja trios at the beginning of the last quarter quenched the desire to return of a local cluster that goes from less to more.
He visited the white box against a cursed opponent who had only been defeated once in the previous five duels in the Euroleague, but with the peace of mind that gave him the knowledge that he had qualified for the quarterfinals of the competition. However, this award is insufficient for the team that is pursuing the ambitious award of finishing the regular season in the top four.
For this they qualified in Bologna, playing well from the start. A 2-10 partial start was a pretty goodwill statement against a home team with two balls running almost to the limit, weakening in the trio and shooting by Jaiteh.
Then a technical problem arose that caused a short pause in the central computer. away from the cold Real Madrid continued to play their part until they confirmed a 0-13 where rebounds in both hoops had a lot to do with it., dominated dictatorially (2-15). Two of them were attacked by Tavares, allowing the center to place in the all-time top 8 in the competition in this division.
Belinelli was responsible for hardening madridista rictus, whose age did not take away his talent. Spinning around the perimeter, he managed to score three triples and six free throws from fouls on outside attempts. Thus, he left 15 of his first 17 points away in the second quarter; at a time when visitors are less inspired.
As the bad moment came, it was left behind with an effective reaction before the break. This resulted in a run aimed 2-9, and when Yabusele shot the bell from his own free throw line, he was 2-12 and left. the most amazing moment of the afternoon (33-50, min.20).
The Italian team, who left the dressing room to reverse the match, returned to the fight with a 10-2 win. The warning aroused the madridistas who did not respond to six consecutive points but were immediately handed a similar penalty. In this regard, Virtus was under ten points and managed to advance on those margins. Start the decisive quarter while the opponent is within range.
They came 3-15 with five threes in a row from the Hezonja cloud and put the game on track. From there, the intensity dropped and relaxed shots began to multiply on both boards to make the final result more appealing.
