Map of shooting, play by play and all the details of the Real Madrid-Barcelona
Real Madrid defeated 78-74 in a match between two giants vibrant and takes over the leadership of the League Endesa. The Catalans raced until the last second despite the lower Navarro plantar fasciitis and they recovered a second quarter in which the Jaycee Carroll shot brutal reached levels of precision.
Two significant events, important but rare, noted in the initial act. The first was that Ante Tomic was planted in the field displaying unusual aggression, claiming two consecutive kill. Other nights he walked timid and overwhelmed by circumstances. This did not happen in this league opener against Regal Barcelona. The second striking fact was reflected in the success the triple zero on both sides. The Madrid missed all five attempts, while Barca missed three shots.
Nikola Mirotic Carlos Suarez and also delivered to the white cause burning and success. In the Barca side, Boniface Ndong exhibited rebounding ability and added important points. The white tide gathered at the Palais des Sports, with 12,888 people awaiting the sets of the game, wanted to drown the ghosts of the past duels, which gave a 15-3 advantage to the pupils of Xavi Pascual. A cap Kyle Singler ended the quarter with 18-16 lead for the hosts.
Baskets from the line of 6.75 had to appear. There was too much quality on the track and to be resisted much longer. Marcelinho Huertas and Chuck Eidson, immediately afterwards, plugged in the first two. Equality in the mail continued until the 30-30, just in Ecuador in the second quarter.
The revolution was led by a man in a few months the public has gotten in my pocket: Jaycee Carroll. The U.S. looks like a machine gun from the perimeter. Amaze your natural shooting mechanics and outspoken, supported by a vertical jump on legs very prodigious. He put 11 points in the second quarter and riddled with bullets defense staged by Xavi Pascual.
Ndong was still the fighter in Barcelona, but the rush of Carroll were unstoppable. Martynas Pocius A triple of the half-time gave him the greatest advantage of the Real Madrid match (48-36).
Two quick fouls undermined the contribution of Pete Mickeal in the first period. After leaving the tunnel, the player lost time with dots and force for the whole squad. In Madrid, Suarez, who caught on his best performance so far this season, connected with Mirotic to try to keep at bay the versatile attack of Barca.
The marker, in a tissue
Huertas left the five-point lead and led the Catalans to the comeback (57-52). Some bad decisions Real offensives, the increase in the intensity back and a more belligerent attitude of Barcelona shook the fence. It was the final act with the options wide open by a clapping of Fran Vazquez (62-58).
The mistake of Sergio Llull and precipitation when the parties get ugly start worrying. Against Joventut made a good game, but missed the last three shots. Against Barcelona Regal, its last quarter only be described as forgettable.
Neither Navarro nor without Erazem Lorbek achieve targets undermined its authority against arch rival. Barca tied at 68 after several minutes in tow. The guys are like machines Pascual, nothing discourages them. Nothing and no one away from his way of thinking about basketball. They get into the mind of the front and end with casting doubts where previously there were only certainties. However, Pocius escaped the spell and a great insight reversed a fate that was elusive to Madrid.
