Anyone would say that Gaby Deck grew a span in the World Cup in China. 'El Tortuga' continues to work on the foundations of that great performance with the Argentine national team and is already one of the players that marks the pulse of this Real Madrid. He may not yet have a voice of command, because at 24 he is still early, but he always has a winning play in his pocket. In the victory against the Zenit of St. Petersburg (71-86) he returned to be the most prominent with 15 points, 8 rebounds and 25 valuation.

Moving to the sound that Deck and Facundo Campazzo marked, and with Edy Tavares guarding their backs, Real Madrid completed with a full its particular Russian trilogy. He has won the Khimki, CSKA and Zenit in a row and already has six straight wins in the Euroleague. After an irregular start, with those three consecutive defeats away from home, those of Pablo Laso are consolidated in the noble zone next to Efes, Barça and Milan.

There is a trait in this Real Madrid with which it is still difficult to say whether it is good or bad: to what extent it depends on Facundo Campazzo. Good because it is one of the best bases in the Euroleague: the Argentine base scored or assisted in the first 15 points of Real Madrid. All of the first seven minutes of the game.

9-0 without Campazzo

Bad because there is not always someone who takes over. Laprovittola still does not fit and before the Zenit left with a strong ankle sprain. The team usually deflates when he sits: the 9-0 run with which the Russians went around the match coincided with their first break.

With Llull injured, Campazzo will have no respite but for the moment he responds on a good note: 19 points and six assists. Between him, Deck and two triples of Fabien Causeur armed the 0-13 set at the start of the third quarter with which Real Madrid seemed to sentence the duel (37-57). But Zenit would continue to stretch the rubber all the way to the shoulders of one of the many old acquaintances, Gustavo Ayón. And Joan Plaza has set up a branch of the Endesa League in St. Petersburg: up to seven ex could be counted.

In five seasons of white, the Mexican was a key piece in two Euroleagues and four league titles and, although he has no grudge against Real Madrid for his departure, he showed that he still has gas: 18 points, 10 rebounds, four steals. Enough to sustain the ups and downs of Zenit, well escorted by Voronov and Will Thomas, another ex, but not to jeopardize the triumph of Real Madrid.
