Real Madrid is a team incapable of stage fright. Whatever the sport, his mastery of extreme situations allows him to turn the flames of hell into the wind. In Belgrade, which was initially quiet due to mourning over the school murder, the white team did it again, eventually allowing Chus Mateo’s men to leave the series with their second consecutive win (2-2). The fifth and final match, which will determine FC Barcelona’s opponent in the ‘last four’, will be played at WiZink.
The series is kept in the newspaper library. A discussion in every game. A minute’s silence followed by a moment of silence for those who lost their lives in the armed attack in the center of Belgrade, from the second offensive struggle to the reconciliation of the two teams. A tragedy that soaks up faces a crowded Stark Arena that starts out filled with white roses. The excitement of a moment that turned the whole country upside down, when the bullets were echoes of the past and no one wanted to hear again, could be seen on the faces of the players.
Score Duel: Hanga and Leday
But after the first jump, Partizan – Real Madrid was again: great basketball game Chus Mateo’s men got off to a better start, although Lessort was back in the top five. After WiZink fulfilled the sanction for the pitched battle. Good into the game dzanan muse, a player whose series goes uphill. But everything on the track went through Tavares’ health. White’s kicks forced Obradovic to take a timeout at 7-14.
Partizan was tough, however, and they were falling apart to allow direct three-pointers from Hanga, who played 3/3 on the defense as if there was nothing to finish. A Real Madrid changing the district defense He took out the knife abroad in the attack. It was a superior result of 15-27 at the end of the first quarter. Perhaps the best moments of togetherness.
Belgrade celebrates the personalities of Tavares
The game was diluted in every aspect without a clear rhythm. What was beyond doubt was its importance. Tavares, whose physical condition is a state matter. Belgrade celebrates personal fouls against Cape Verde, but opponent lessor, failed to seize opportunities from the free throw line. The violations conditioned the violations of Chus Mateo. The African’s alternative, Randolph, was packed with a 32-34 three on the scoreboard.
This complicated the plans of the Spanish coach, who in one of the breaks told his best weapon: “I’ll take you before the room is finished”. Activated after Gaby Deck was suspended to discourage a team encouraged by the stands when Partizan was finally able to take the lead on the leaderboard. Psychology would be more important than ever.
Serbian ‘sorpasso’ and songs return
A friend from Leday made the situation 39-40 and forced Real Madrid to take a timeout. Like the first quarter, the second quarter ended with a basket at the limit. Papapetrou entered, but Andjusic’s time was up. In the first half, madridistas continued to dominate the scoreboard (42-45). Beyond the numbers and conditions, the Spanish team was alive. Hanga, which rose 15 points in December and had a PIR of 17, drew attention to its improvement margins: “You need to win rebound duels again: you need to improve, especially in defense.”
With its reboot, the songs returned to Stark Arena, and with them the congestion of the white game. Obradovic’s private struggle began, who wanted a ‘challenge’ to revise a celebrated ball trip over Belgrade skies. But Partizan’s never-ending story. Exum failed in his first attempt to put the advantage and protests were alleged for a foul Technique that puts back the limit revealed.
Responsible Tavares and irresponsible Nunnally
In the end, Andjusic managed to find a temporary advantage 51-49 thanks to Tavares, who loaded the opposing defense with fouls (they got a bonus at 3:46), stealing and scoring to quell the rebellion. The third from the Cape Verde Islands has arrived. The specter of his absence on the track was resolved by Deck to put him 55-61 where he came in the final quarter. Without a punter sniper, Partizan’s wrists were shaking except for Leday.
The match would require group work and successful rotations. With ‘Chacho’ Rodríguez on the pitch, the ball started running until he rose to seven assists keeping Real Madrid ahead where coordinated individuality emerged. the most loveliest, Deck, a unique player when it comes to winning the back line. Until a foul by Leday knocked him out of the game 74-78. The pain was so great that it made even a normally unbreakable Argentine’s face grimace.
How harmful are these serials where teams metamorphose. The uneasy face, fear and rush Real Madrid displayed in the second match cost Partizan. Shooters like Nunnally and Exum shied away from their responsibilities while shooting percentages collapse. However, Madar’s sorcery game prevented Goss from scoring and unexpectedly narrowed the lead to 78-80. And once again, as Partizan put his eye on the peephole, a slap from Tavares brought them back to the harsh reality of the 78-85 final that extinguished the entire revolution they had assembled in Madrid.
