Obradoiro.Albert Oliver, the amazing case of the player who defies time
A sensational last quarter by the French
Fabian Causeur
and the American
Jaycee Carroll
-20 points between them- allowed Real Madrid to end the resistance of Monbus Obradoiro (71-87) and load up on morale before visiting Villeurbanne in a key duel for their future in the Euroleague.
An overwhelming start in attack, with a great
Nico Laprovittola
, gave a lot of tranquility to
Pablo Laso's team
, who enjoyed an income of 16 points in the first quarter (4-20, min.5), although his rival managed to get into the shock from defense.
Obradoiro grew from his defensive aggressiveness, and little by little he got closer on the scoreboard, forcing Madrid coach Pablo Laso to request a time-out when his income dropped to ten points (13-23).
Moncho Fernández
alternated defensive systems and, as happened against Unicaja,
Steven Enoch was
in command in the paint.
With a partial 11-2, the santiagueses were placed to six (19-25), although the irruption of Fabian Causeur oxygenated the white attack, which returned to hit another small stretch.
Obradoiro continued intense in defense, and that exploited him to get closer to just over four minutes before the break (27-32).
But that good defensive balance coincided with a terrible effectiveness in the three-point shooting, and Real Madrid is unforgiving.
Obradoiro missed four consecutive triples, and the whites, coinciding with Laprovittola's return to the track, broke the crash (29-40).
Mastery of the inner game
The script did not change in the third quarter because the leader continued to play with comfortable rents, despite his disastrous percentage of triples (0/7 in that period).
He survived thanks to his inner game, with a great
Usman Garuba
.
The Canadian guard
Kassius Robertson
and an imperial
Enoch
punished the white defense, to allow their team to reach the last quarter alive, when with a 7-2 start, their rival felt their breath (56-60, min 31).
Real Madrid pulled ex officio to overcome the Galician resistance, with a notable defensive improvement and the success from the three-point line of Carroll and Causeur.
Three of his triples and the Obradoiro jam - he was stuck at 60 points - made Moncho Fernández desperate, who stopped the crash (60-73, min.35).
His team reacted with five points in a row, and Laso also stopped the rival reaction with another time-out.
The Madrid coach's slate worked wonderfully, and his team destroyed the Obradoiro area with two new 3-pointers from Causeur and Carroll that ended the duel (67-79, min.37).
