Jaycee Carroll closed the year by winning a match in Istanbul and started it the same way in Tenerife.
He does not spend time for him, because his kind, those who are always hungry, are eternal.
It is a luxury microwave for Pablo Laso
, who keeps it as a cruel surprise for his rival.
The Iberostar succumbed to the entry of the shooter in the second half and to the ability to compete of a Real Madrid for which there are no valuable setbacks.
[85-92: Narration and statistics]
Because a trap awaited him at Santiago Martín and he escaped bravely, accepting the precious pulse of the ACB revelation team, resisting again and again the attacks of Tenerife, which put on its boots from the triple, which made a hole in the paint with Shermadini and who came to command by 10 points in the third act (66-56).
Where many would have thrown in the towel, Madrid found encouragement.
Nothing can with the self-love of Laso's.
Carroll's 18 points in 18 minutes and the incredible resolution capacity on the finish line, conceding just one point (plus Shermadini's final basket, with everything resolved), increasing the intensity like a sprinter, against an opponent who had him done 82 in the 35 above.
The game was an amusement park, because something fun always happened.
The leadership of Madrid was threatened by a Tenerife which is a pleasure to see play and also came with significant casualties -
without Llull or Deck, Alex Tyus has not yet arrived
- from two battles that leave sequels, the league defeat against Barça and the triumph in Istanbul against Efes to close 2020. And on Monday I travel to Andorra ...
And there Laso, with the abacus, making speculations in the rotations, but with the premise that makes this team perhaps different from almost everyone: they always compete.
And since dawn, despite the fact that soon the islands showed their weapons, the success from the perimeter - nobody like them in the ACB, at halftime they added eight triples of 12 - and the power of Shermadini, in that fight of giants with Tavares in the one that slipped a great Garuba that would also be decisive later.
The first part was a slide, but always with equality as a flag.
Because Madrid responded with the power of the group, with triples as well and with that Thompkins who has become a silent leader, leaving behind his periods of insolence.
Now the need is pressing and the dapper power forward is the one pulling the white car.
The offensive rebounds, in addition, gave him extra lives while Taylor busied himself in infinitely drying Huertas.
And Madrid continued in the battle despite the fact that the locals, the only undefeated at home in the entire League, squeezed out of the locker room.
A survival exercise against the aurinegra avalanche, with an already imperial Shermadini, with the triples wounding like daggers in the white heart.
With the now overwhelming defense that led to constant losses, repeatedly surpassed the still tender Alocen.
But there was Carroll, that bullet in Laso's chamber so that the duel would not break in the third act.
After two more triples from Cavanaugh, the duel started again (82-82).
But in that abyss, the one who could seem the most exhausted became emboldened, cutting off all the offensive avenues that were giving life to Txus Vidorreta's group.
A triple by Laprovittola, the rebound and, again, Carroll, made Madrid more leaders in Tenerife.
