Madrid wins at Valencia and is not giving up on the lead

its inertia Epic victory over Partizan Chus starting Wednesday was stronger than the fatigue of Mateo’s team. Some rotations of the Madrid team (several of them struggled due to injury) and the failure of the locals alongside Guerschon Yabusele’s scores helped. The first mistakes undermined the fragile morale of Álex Mumbrú’s men (4-14, art.6).

The involvement of Martin Hermannsson and Jonah Radebaugh calmed the game for Valencia, and the intensity and success of James Webb III and Bojan Dubljevic allowed them to enter the match despite Mario Hezonja’s explosive entry. The local team maxed out the score, but the visitors stayed on top, squeezing Walter Tavares’ points (23-24, m.14).

Chris Jones finishes Valencia’s comebackbut a brilliant Hezonja supported the madridistas from the 6.75 streak and Yabusele’s drive meant they reached the break with a small income (35-39).

More stuck and came back Standing out with a 5-0 series in one minute, Valencia reappeared on the scoreboard. Yabusele resurfaced and stifled his attempt to shift the balance and restored control and composure to the Madrid team. The fact that the locals did not score a goal in the outside shot made it easier for Real Madrid to gain control (53-60, m.30).

with some Good times from Fabien CauseurMateo’s men knew how to punish their opponents’ defensive changes, and with a rested Hejonza reappearing, they didn’t have much trouble advancing the clock without jeopardizing their victory (63-73, m.35).

Rejected on three-shot (only six of his twenty-eight shots) Valencia’s arguments are exhausted content to fight for victory and not stop looking for him, which didn’t stop him from some final whistles.

Two days before the end of the first stage, Real Madrid’s victory keeps them alive. Barça and Cazoo Baskonia win and therefore there is still the option to win either of these first two positions.

In its place, defeat leaves Valencia behind with just one win over UCAM MurciaThe one who finishes ninth and earns a certain ‘basket average’ and therefore has no margin of error to qualify for the playoffs.
