The full 10-game win in the Endesa League and the streak of seven consecutive wins, including three in the Euroleague, still do not fully convince
Pablo Laso
.
"Sometimes we lack a bit of consistency. We have a lot of room for improvement and we have to focus on that," admitted the Real Madrid coach after a morning game against Urbas Fuenlabrada decided by the success of
Jaycee Carroll
.
[Narration and statistics (79-68)]
"The third quarter has made the difference," Laso analyzed in reference to those minutes where only Carroll's aim (18 points) could knock down the Fuenlabreños.
"We had to lower his shot and our best defense was achieved in the second half, in addition to the fact that the shots hit us," developed the coach, who had seen his team give ground during the first two sets.
The courage of the renewed Fuenlabrada, since
Javier Juárez's
arrival on the bench
, and the fatigue of Madrid with their ninth game in 20 days since October 20, had been clear from the beginning.
Garcia and Eyenga
The neighbors to the south congested the area and always left open the shot of three against an obtuse Madrid in the launch.
The first advantages (18-24 as the end of the first quarter) strengthened the conviction of a Fuenlabrada, where
Marc García
and
Christian Eyenga
stood out
.
The 4 of 17 triples, including the four errors by
Facundo Campazzo,
showed the null inspiration of Madrid.
However, two consecutive triples by Carroll, in the first two minutes of the restart, immediately connected the Whites (39-40).
The veteran guard, accurate as always, scored a third to put his team ahead (45-42), after a 12-2 run.
28-11 Partial
With the offensive success recovered and a more effective defense, Madrid began to dominate, 52-45 (m.26) while Fuenlabrada's legs began to tremble.
The best thing about the Juárez men in this quarter is that they did not lower their arms and remained hooked despite a 28-11 run.
An effort, in any case, insufficient.
"The defensive rebound has not allowed to run in the first half and leave Madrid in low figures," said Juárez, who came from three consecutive victories in the Endesa League.
"At all times we compete to win and if we continue like this, working and competing, many victories will come," concluded the Urbas Fuenlabrada coach.
