• Semifinal Barça abuses a diminished Valencia

Real Madrid survived.

In the heat of Santiago Martín, at his own preseason rhythm, the dominance of Tenerife and even his mistake.

Also to

Rudy Fernández's

knee injury

, very ugly waiting to know the scope, at that same fateful point where

Llull

broke it four summers ago.

He survived and came back this new Madrid with a French accent and this Sunday he will see them, the usual final, against Barcelona for the Super Cup.

[70-72: Narration and statistics]

If a year ago

Campazzo

was

the hero of the third consecutive Super Cup, if

Doncic, Deck, Garuba

, so many marched to the NBA, now

Pablo Laso's

project 11.0 is reinvented

with new and necessary wickers. And everyone, from day one, seems willing to adopt that warrior DNA that has marked the entire stage of Vitoria. In a tough battle against Lenovo, with the wind against the missed triples and a threatening score (52-42 at the end of the third quarter), the whites, on the shoulders of their new heroes, came back in agony.

Of the new ones and of

Fabien Causeur

, the old Frenchman, decisive in La Laguna.

It was

Hanga

who broke the jinx with the first triple white of the night -he nailed another key from the corner at the end-,

Williams Goss

who took the reins at the time of the overturn and

Heurtel

and, above all,

Yabusele ( 15 points, eight rebounds)

, those that gave a victory like a birth to Madrid, in search of their fourth Super Cup on Sunday, the title that alleviates their drought.

Huertas's class

Tenerife dominated the first half, with more fang in defense, more oiled mechanisms of a group that is known by heart, to which the histrionic

Txus Vidorreta

has injected a dreaded competitiveness. Based on the pillars that represent the pair of bases (

Fitipaldo and the infinite Huertas) and the giant Shermadini

. And everything that flows around. He dominated the rebound and the sensations and left a too green Madrid dry from the perimeter (0/15 in the first half).

Each basket cost whites a visit to the dentist. With such a blackout from the perimeter, the options are reduced, even more so in a team still under construction, with an

exhausted

Tavares

and somewhat confused after his recent participation in the Afrobasket. It was two of the new ones, Heurtel and Yabusele, who threw the group on their backs and Hanga, already in the 25th minute, who hit the first triple after 18 attempts. It coincided with the absence of

Sulejmanovic

, one of those who was doing the most damage, by a cut on his eyebrow.

But when it seemed that Madrid were hooked, he turned the script like in a thriller.

Huertas' temperance appeared, Rudy slipped and twisted his left knee badly and Tavares committed the fourth (more technical to the white bench).

A lap start although something had changed.

Between protests, controversies and passion, the party no longer had an owner.

With his two towers (

Tavares and Poirier

) eliminated, with Rudy out due to injury, with Santiago Martín pressing, Causeur and Hanga were like daggers in that moment of truth.

Tenerife, again on the shore against the whites, 13 consecutive defeats.
