No one could imagine that the Final Phase would become Real Madrid's worst nightmare, with barely a thread of life already at La Fonteta after his second stumbled stumble in four games. Much worse than the siesta against San Pablo Burgos was the afternoon against Andorra, a duel that ended up being humiliating for whites, unrecognizable, clueless, without soul or self-love. As never before. Winning Zaragoza on Friday and that mathematics smiles at them are already, who would say, their only options to be on Sunday in the semifinals of the ACB. [91-75: Narration and statistics]
The faces were a poem even in the very heat of battle. The Final Phase seems to have caught Real Madrid on the wrong foot, uncomfortable on their return to activity after confinement. It jerks and every obstacle is a world. Despite enjoying its entire squad, despite the incentive of a treble that, right now, seems like a utopia. Andorra shook the whites in an incredible way, almost from start to finish, with a dominant Hannah and a choral work that is of incalculable merit from Ibon Navarro, another claimed national coach.
Seeing is believing, a team with almost no options, which also lost a strong blow to one of its fittest pieces ( Todorovic , who joined the known losses of Diagnè and Musli), the other with life at stake, with the lesson supposedly learned after the scare against Burgos. And in La Fonteta, suddenly, two groups in the Antipodes, but in pure attitude. The world upside down, with Andorra voracious and without complexes -Tyson Pérez and Olumuyiwa very brave against Tavares-, with Madrid indolent, without rhythm or tusk, with 30 points at rest which is a pittance for the talent he manages.
Campazzo only
Punishing the white defensive laziness, always a second late, Hannah and Massenat hurt without too many sweats , a success that made them shoot (37-23), dominating the rebound and the sensations despite the physical inferiority. Because when Madrid fails behind, it usually does not carbure in the offensive. Only in the flashes of Thompkins and Deck did Laso find some oxygen then. More than a nonsense, it was an ordeal, as if the whites played with crystals in the shoes.
The break this time was a relief, but the expected waterspout did not turn out, despite the change in attitude. Andorra maintained the type (reached a maximum of 51-36), although it was obviously difficult to contain the rival momentum. He was pulling almost heroic actions, also trying to play with the patience of Madrid, which was running out with incredible baskets like those that closed the third act ( Tyson, Hannah, Walker ... ), which also took him away.
Madrid's playing direction was a drama when Campazzo didn't take the reins. Sometimes it happens, but a player just can't defeat an empire. Without partners the Argentinean-nefarious Llull, Taylor, Laprovittola, Carroll; Rudy was down for a few discomforts ...- and with the magic wand in all the Andorran's actions, they didn't even tremble with those crazy white endings. His mattress was too big (83-63) and despite the fact that players with very little experience in the elite such as Guille Colom, Alexix Bartolomé or Babatunde Olumuyiwa had to take responsibility , they took a victory that will always remain in their history and that , in the crazy accounts he now has to do, they make him dream even of the semifinals.
