Demonstration power (but also character) did the Real Madrid! Although he lined up decimated from the coronavirus, the “queen” made a deposition of the soul and cleaned 71-65 the big match with CSKA.
Finding a hero in his face Williams-Goss and with the imposing Tavares to cover the baskets, his team Pablo Lasso (who is also absent due to covid) got the victory that holds her in the hunt for Barcelona in the first place of the Euroleague.
The match
Although one would expect (and it would be reasonable) to enter the floor numb, Real appeared stubborn. Whatever the knockouts were Hanga, Hertel, Poirier, Koser, Yabuselle, Randolph and Nounies. Whatever Lasso was missing from the bench. The Madrilenians appeared intrepid.
So with Williams-Goss doing step up (covering both Yul’s initial failure) and Tavares to enter furiously, managed to end the first ten minutes with the unexpectedly big difference of +10.
However, CSKA reacted. Led by Claiborne and finding valuable solutions from him Milutinov, not only covered the handicap, but went to the locker room previous and with three (37-40).
But that did not deter Real either. Why returning from the locker room (and with Yul transformed to be connected to the basket) withstood the pressure. Defeat the inevitable charge of the fact that he counted just nine players.
So with Rudy contributing to experience while taking advantage of the failure of Itoudis’s team (s.s. Claiborne ended the match with 4/16) managed to maintain the lead. Besides, Tavares sealed his big appearance, adding to 15 points, 10 rebounds, 4 blocks and 2 steals.
And although at the same time Claiborne and Milutinov also recorded double-double (17 points-13 rebounds the American, 13 points-10 rebounds the former center of Olympiacos), the meager help that they had from the rest could not prevent the triumph of the hosts.
The one who set their record at 14-3 and in adoration by their friends (but also Vassilis Spanoulis who watched the match behind their bench) remained in shooting distance from Barcelona.
The ten minutes: 24-14, 13-26, 19-15, 15-10
