Direct Narration and statistics
Real Madrid came out of trouble in Belgrade with a win over Estrella Roja (67-73) and that may have been the only good news for the Whites.
The third straight win in the Euroleague brings them closer to the playoff spots, but to save it they needed Campazzo to play the entire second half without a break.
A week after the NBA opens the market and can get its hands on the Argentine, the lows without him on the court worry for the too near future.
Pablo Laso
said
in the previous one that the possible departure of Campazzo worried him "zero", but at the moment of truth he could not do without the Facu to ensure a victory that at this stage of the calendar, so soon, was already vital.
In these three years the Cordovan has gained such magnitude that in a fateful night in the shot (1/9 in triples) it was key: you do not need success but legs to lead an improvement in defense, and vision to clarify the attack.
In his hands were born the two triples with which
Trey Thompkins
sentenced the game in the final stretch.
The first half was so weak that after the break Laso left the rotation almost at fixed gear.
Two quick fouls by
Edy Tavares
stripped the defense as soon as the game started and the minutes with
Laprovittola
in command continue to cause short circuits.
Abalde is an excellent generator from the forward position, but if
Campazzo
left in 10 days, the Whites would lose a safety net.
Still, it was not a brilliant afternoon for anyone: 17 assists for 17 losses and 14/39 on 3s, more than double the number of shots from two.
As always, the reaction came in the third period and as almost always, from the defense, where in addition to recovering Tavares and having Campazzo as the spearhead,
Rudy Fernández
, Llull and Abalde
shone after the break
.
It was that improvement, together with the scoring of Thompkins (14) and
Anthony Randolph
(13) that allowed Real Madrid to leave Belgrade with a victory and, for the first time in the Euroleague, treading on playoff positions.
