Real Madrid's climb in the Euroleague ended at the feet of Armani Exchange Milan (76-80).
After seven victories in a row, 12 in the last 13 days, the Whites fell again against
Ettore Messina's team
, which had already won the fight in the Lombard capital.
Pablo Laso's team managed to reach the final seconds of a game that they lost by 17 points with options, but Sergio Rodríguez, also an executioner in the first leg, and former Blue Malcolm Delaney frustrated the comeback.
Armani has been putting money into his basketball team for some time, but he has not quite made a profit from it.
It is not the Khimki, a cartoon, but a collection of talent that still needs to take shape.
Of course, when everything is fine-tuned, it is a rival that no one would want to find on a heads or tails.
Madrid has already experienced it in Milan and suffered it again at the Wizink Center.
If it wasn't
Punter it
was
Delaney
, if it wasn't
Hines it
was
Tarczewski
.
Too many waterways to cover them all.
Milan took temperature in the third period and before an erratic Madrid conjugated a partial of 2-19 that seemed to leave the game sentenced until, rummaging in the mixed bag,
Laso
found a way to stop the bleeding: joining
Edy Tavares
and his relief,
Alex Tyus
.
The last white signing has the cut of
Marcus Slaughter
, a center who makes up for the lack of centimeters with mobility and athletic ability.
He arrived to rest Tavares, but in his debut he found himself sharing minutes with the Cape Verdean.
The pair, while odd, worked, and he managed to bolt the hoop in time to give the whites one last option.
Jaycee Carroll
, very fine in the last games, took out the machine to print points (30) so that the game came tight to the final seconds (74-77), but between Chacho and Delaney they dispatched 10 of the last 12 points of Armani Milan to save the Lombard triumph.
