Between the departure of his buddy Campazzo and the rumors about his own departure to the NBA (he still does not renew his contract), it was not the expected season for

Gaby Deck

.

Always important, but not so capital.

That necessary step forward.

That aggressive and decisive version that was seen against Panathinaikos, omnipresent and effective, too much for a Greek team that was not even worth their reaction in the second half to have a chance of winning at WiZink.

[76-66: Narration and statistics]

Because Real Madrid, powerful from the start, faltered badly after returning from the dressing room.

The momentum was left there.

And he was about to squander his advantage against the Hellenes, who are no longer what they were.

He did not suffer, because a pair of triples

(Abalde and Llull)

, finally broke a dangerous inertia.

But what a placid night was presupposed was not so much.

With Llull and Rudy, life is easier, even if they are not 100%.

Its mere competitive presence is usually contagious.

Having them back was the best preamble for Pablo Laso, who saw his team, hesitantly lately, hit the table against Panathinaikos, who has just changed coaches, with the Israeli

Oded Kattash

, that impressive scorer who had to leave the courts early due to injuries, now at the controls, trying to refloat a ship that runs out of options in this fierce Euroleague.

Madrid, who had lost

the last two games at the WiZink in Europe

, - three of the last four in total to lose step with the top of the table - came out full, with a devastating pace and a great Deck.

Then came the triples, three in a row from Causeur, and a distance that soared (49-27).

The greens also missed Papapetrou and Papagianis, two of their props, and their aim was horrible: they didn't hit any of the 10 triples they tried.

Everything so unusually expensive .... That the relaxation finally arrived, a lowering of the arms of which the visitors took advantage.

And some bad news like

Carroll's ankle injury

after a dirty action by Bochoridis.

While Alocén, in one of his best performances, was trying to keep the ship afloat with Deck, the PAO came close to five (66-61).

He did not get the impetus and not a hurry passed Madrid.

Oxygen for what is coming, which does not stop the march: on Friday he visits Berlin before

the Alba de Aíto

.
