• Classification This is the ACB

It is one of the great hallmarks of

Pablo Laso

, a rarity because it is hardly seen in current basketball. The Vitorian coach likes to save some bullet for the second parts. Elements that break into a battle already launched and that unbalance it so many times. Faced with a courageous Valencia despite their casualties, it was

Heurtel and Rudy Fernández

who revolutionized Real Madrid until they put the triumph on the Fonteta and forget the setback on Friday in Athens, the first of the year. [79-93: Narration and statistics]

It was the couple a total spring for Madrid's fifth ACB victory, the eighth of the season. It was Rudy and Heurtel who ended up denting the local resistance, whose short rotation finally took its toll. When Madrid went wild, no one remembered the bad aim, neither

Carroll nor Randolph and Thompkins

: up to 10 triples in a second act that was a whirlwind.

It had been an entertaining first half, with two aggressive teams, on the run, brave.

A vibrant equality after

Joan Peñarroya

nipped the good morning visitor in the bud, led by

Williams-Goss

.

He was staring at the whites, who still cost a world to do damage from the perimeter, as if that backpack of frustration had been brought from Piraeus.

Jasiel rivero

Each addition from the bench brought energy. The young

Tristan Vukcevic

, from whom something more was expected at the start of the season in which his team has only one healthy power forward, showed his desire to assert himself.

Llull

abused his young defenders - Valencia continues to have many injuries:

Van Rossom, Tobey, Prepelic

... - and

Yabusele

continues to be a hammer, although in Valencia he encountered opposition from his compatriot

Labeyrie

.

But Valencia did not wrinkle, with the debut of

López-Aróstegui

-injured since the Games to which he had to go urgently to replace

Juancho Hernangómez-

, the push of

Hermannsson

and, above all, with the joyful game of

Jasiel Rivero

, who bravely stood up to the white towers.

A puff of Cuban sauce at the Fonteta.

Nor at the return of the locker room, where Madrid finally found the triple as an ally with the tremendous irruption of Heurtel and Rudy.

Where it seemed that it was sprinting to break the afternoon.

Those of Peñarroya held on with pride and courage, answering each white stab.

Until they couldn't anymore.

Because the blow of the last act was like a direct to the canvas.

Rudy stole, patted, hurt.

It multiplied, with the push of a fifteen-year-old.

And Heurtel liked each other while the rival staggered.

When he wanted to give an account, with the Balearic's fourth triple in the afternoon, Valencia had a slab on top.

23 points, seven assists and six triples between the pair and a 19-29 final to face the first week of the course with three appointments: Wednesday and Friday Euroleague at WiZink (Monaco and Panathinaikos) and Sunday visit to the Breogán River.
