Madrid unraveled their duel against Girona in three lines

The Whites faced an unusual duel throughout the week, but not in European competition and had to make an extra effort in the league not to get discouraged in a leadership fight against the Catalans and Baskonia after losing in a direct duel during the Palau days. before.

To clear their sins, nothing better than two back-to-back matches in local competition; this and the next, against Joventut, as an aperitif Partizán’s double visit in the draw that will set them against the Serbian team euroleague as a step before the final to four.

Focusing on what’s closest, serious locals showed up putting two blocks in just a minute and a half with a larger Tavares if possible. Despite this, it was difficult for them to break away from an annoyed opponent who didn’t quite give up when they accepted repetitive points.

It didn’t even seem to affect him. 19-11 when he ultimately broke up since the first quarter A 0-6 start with four points from Marc Gasol, I left two of them. Real Madrid then turned to triple syrup, an effective recipe thanks to the excellent hand of Rudy Fernández and Sergio Rodríguez.

Tres scored first and second in six tries, in addition to the Randolph and Yabusele festival. The rest are five points from Musa with a basket and two free throws. He began to stagger at this acceleration. A Catalan team that went up to fourth place with a score of 14-7.

On the parquet again after the break, Gasol once again wore stripes and four missed dots that served as proof of life. However, two successful outside shots from Yabusele and Causeur resurfaced to lay the foundations for a team that started to add more comfortably from then until they faced a twenty minute advantage (71-51) into the final 10 minutes.

After the match was decided, they both relaxed so as not to tire themselves by thinking about what was in front of them.. There was such a case that even Tavares, one of the few who could not score from distance, was encouraged to try three. Given how unusual it was, he did it right in an act that was widely celebrated by himself, the pavilion and his colleagues. The icing on the cake for a calm and pleasant working day in a low season.
