Campazzo and Calathes, a classic of bases ... and many doubts

• Euroleague Ranking and results

Nick Calathes has just arrived, Facundo Campazzo is not far from leaving.

Nor can there be two more bases in the Antipodes in terms of understanding their profession, the pause and the frenzy.

This Friday at the Palau (9:00 p.m., DAZN), the commanders of the infinite rivalry will face each other, the one who was in the NBA and the one who is leaving,

on the fifth day of this troubled Euroleague .

"It's like a version of

, in the way you have to live it," warns Calathes, who only had Facu in front of Facu in the last Super Cup final, but when he wore green they already suffered each other.

Twice the frustrated last season (both white victories), as many before (nine, eight white victories, in the last three seasons), as when in April 2019 Campazzo signed his record for steals (5) precisely against the born point guard ( and trained) in Florida.

Today the local averages 11 points and 5.8 assists so far in the Euroleague, even with the triples: four he scored last week against his former team.

Like Madrid itself, Campazzo is more irregular (9.5 points, four assists, 1.8 steals) and even so he is indispensable for his team.

Nobody has delivered more assists than them lately:

;

also what they steal the most and among those who have scored the most since 2017: 17.4 points on average for the Greek, 14.9 for the Cordovan.

Because everything is marked by both, essential metronomes, an extension of their coaches on the court.

And neither Barça nor Madrid appear in their second confrontation of the course in full.

If the whites

Tenerife

, now they are entangled in a Euroleague start as was not remembered, conceding more than 80 points per night, three defeats in four games.

Laso will not be able to count on Causeur or Carroll.

"Fabien is at home (positive for coronavirus), Carroll is the only one who has not been able to recover from the discomfort in his knees and it would be absurd to force him," explained the Vitorian.

Saras's criticism

In addition to the setback in the first title at stake, Jasikevicius's project has started with another in Europe and last Sunday in Vitoria in the Endesa League - undefeated (5-0) and leaders of the whites in ACB-, which ignited the fire of Saras's own criticisms: «We let them score 63 points for our own mistakes [sic].

.

We need to improve a lot in the mental aspect.

I am very disappointed ».

As always, the classic - the 27th in Europe so far this century, 14-12 for Madrid - to light and put out fires.

A victory at the Palau would alleviate white doubts, delve into the superiority in the face-to-face of lately and add fuel to Jasikevicius's often histrionic speech.

A local victory, however, would leave Madrid with

, with a drag towards the eighth position that marks the cut.

And all without, as everything seems planned, Campazzo has still packed his bags.

Something that can happen shortly if you confirm your intentions to make the jump to the NBA that, it seems, will begin in January.

Today, the Argentine and

are the beginning and the end of the white game.

And, after a timid summer in the market, with few warranty replacements for them.

A worrying dependency.

The giant will have an interesting duel with Brandon Davies, whom he left dry in the Euroleague duel last year.

The American averages nearly 15 points per night.

«We lack people, some important players are in the preseason phase (Kuric) and others suffer from the virus, as is the case with Niko.

Madrid also have people who are suffering.

It seems to me that we arrived in a very strange situation and far from one hundred percent ", admits Jasikevicius, with the great doubt if Mirotic, already back to training.
