Real Madrid defeated again | Basketball | Sport

Real Madrid regained its good feelings and in the fifth match of the Euroleague defeated Crvena Zvezda (95-72), which was the leader of the classification. Chusa Mateo’s team, led by Facundo Campazzo, defended very effectively and moved the ball skillfully in attack. Real Madrid, after a start to the season in which they suffered more defeats than expected, seemed to have finally corrected their course and achieved a very convincing victory, their third in Europe. A communal match marked by generosity, reflected in the 26 assists given by the white team,

Red Star made an unforgivable mistake: they allowed Facundo Campazzo to think and run. The Argentine point guard, always so quick and smart, took advantage of this gift to give a two-bar concert. In the first quarter, he turned things around and launched Real Madrid, who were very accommodating in defense and especially generous in attack. He then finished the game in the third quarter, where he again set the pace, completely disarming the Serbs, who arrived at ViZinc with the aura of a defensive team and left with almost 100 points conceded.

Campazzo went to the bench to unanimous cheers from the crowd with three minutes left in the third quarter with a 24-point lead (67-43), scoring 13 points – without missing a shot – and grabbing three rebounds. and dished out six assists – two of them between opponents’ legs – in just 19 minutes. Dazzling. His departure came as a relief for Red Star, who had gained some momentum with the score 0–9, forcing Chus Mateo to call time out to end the Serbian hopes.

This match pays tribute to Real Madrid, so faltering in the first weeks and so solid in the last few days. There have already been three victories in a row, which is perhaps enough to ease his fears while he continues to wait to see if new reinforcements will arrive for his squad. Against Red Star he also took a step forward on both sides of the pitch. Excellent defense, which left the opponents with a mediocre shooting percentage of 40% on two-point shots and 28% on three-pointers, as well as brilliant work in attack, where the players were able to move the ball with calculation and patience, so that the end would reach the player who was in a better situation.

Red Star blamed Real Madrid for synchronicity as well as their absences, two prominent absences such as the absence of Joel Bolomboy and Nemanja Nedovic, which are perhaps too much of an obstacle for them in such a difficult field with the WiZink Center. After the match concluded, Chus Mateo took the opportunity to make his debut for Sido Gueye, a young 17-year-old Senegalese center who was training at the Madrid youth academy.

Baskonia, in turn, recorded a comfortable 80-57 win over Alba Berlin in a match in which Marcus Howard again scored 26 points in 24 minutes, but in which defense was vital against a weak German side. shooting.
