The feeling is so overwhelming, that it seemed that Edy Tavares was knocking Hereda San Pablo Burgos down alone, which is not just anyone.

Such is the dominance and influence of the giant in the game, the frustration it causes in the rival, that so many times it comes down to that.

Whether or not he is on the track.

Without fanfare or fuss, he signed one of the best nights of his career.

And those of

Joan Peñarroya

, sixth in the ACB and brand-new champions of the Intercontinental Cup a few weeks ago, could not even compete in the WiZink.

[96-81: Narration and statistics]

"But I've only caught seven rebounds ...", Tavares lamented with a half smile, so internalized has his work in defense.

Nobody competes there with him, but his nights above 20 points are becoming more common.

It was a record against Burgos (27 points), the top of his career, plus six blocks

(37 PIR in 26 minutes)

.

All this and what does not appear in the statistics for another Real Madrid victory in the League, the 21st of 22 games.

Although not everything is smiles in the white house.

Against bad omens, against the plague of injuries -

Trey Trompkins sprained his ankle yesterday

, who could not continue - against the absence of reinforcements, against blows in the form of lost finals like that of the last Cup ... Real Madrid can only put its professionalism first.

The seriousness of the group that advances through the waves, that faces each game without looking around too much.

After Barça's wiggle and the bad hangover a few days later at La Fonteta, two samples of white competitiveness.

Burgos, like Zalgiris on Thursday, suffered it.

When he wanted to realize where he was, the San Pablo had a slab on top

(27-10 start)

.

Tavares, who is increasingly accompanied by Usman Garuba, was the lord of painting.

Peñarroya asked to push, but to stop the giant not only needs muscle.

Between them they dominated the rebound in a huge way and that allowed Madrid to have fun, score with rhythm and ease, feel comfortable.

Those first bars were going to mark the remains.

Tavares' exhibition revealed all the virtues that are confirming him this season as a unique player.

He went into halftime with 16 points and six rebounds.

Burgos hardly reacted (36-28, after a 2-10), now with more energy, with

McFadden and Benite

, when he rested and was replaced by a Tyus that did not finish curdling.

But on his return, the ordeal again and the advantage shot up.

The second half was a desire and not power of the Castilians, who could not get too close.

Carroll, as always without making too much noise, went to 17 points.

The young Tristan Vukcevic

had even a few minutes on the track

.

And time to think about Real Madrid on the Russian tour it faces this week (Khimki on Tuesday and Zenit on Thursday) in the Euroleague.
