Euroleague Qualifying
The
Real Madrid
scored his eighth victory Tuesday in the Euroleague after winning with solvency 74-87 during his visit to the ASVEL Villeurbanne French, led by an inspired
Fabien Causeur
.
Causeur had a successful night at the Astroballe and his 25 points, with 5/6 in triple, were key to propelling an always important European win away more placid than expected.
Along with the forward,
Yabusele
(18)
shone
in his return to 'home' and
Tavares
, author of a 'double-double' (12 points and 10 rebounds) and with a lot of impact on defense.
On the negative side of the ten-time European champion were the 17 losses that allowed the locals, too dependent on
Okobo
(26), to reach the final stage still with options to fight for a victory that always had a Madridista color.
Real Madrid came out with fine-tuned artillery and in the middle of the first quarter had already scored 20 points, with much offensive inspiration from Causeur and Yabusele, honored together with
Heurtel
in the previous game.
ASVEL, despite Okobo's efforts, could not keep up with that rhythm and the 4/4 away triples posted a dangerous 14-27 with an outstanding Causeur (10 points).
But from there, the Madrid team was losing efficiency as the local defense was tightening and complicating things more.
Losses, once again a drag on the 10-time European champion with nine at halftime, began to appear and Okobo's points (16) kept
TJ Parker's
points alive at the
end of the first quarter (24-33).
The clash had been balanced and the French team could manage better, although it lacked continuity in its good moments and although it found the right hit from the triple (
Jones
and
Osetkowski
) to survive while its base rested (34-37).
Decisive 0-13
Real Madrid held on and did not allow him to get closer, also taking advantage of some precipitation in attack by ASVEL and the return of the triples (
Rudy Fernández
and
Vukcevic
) allowed him to stretch the score again somewhat for the break (43-51).
After passing through the changing rooms, the Madrid team overcame an erratic start thanks to the outside aim, and with the triples of Yabusele and Causeur they chained a 0-9 partial to threaten to definitively break the game.
However, the visitors stopped again with another series of erratic attacks and ASVEL, led again by Okobo, replied with a 7-0 (54-62) that seemed to return options before receiving a severe partial that would end all them despite their resistance.
An incredible triple on Causeur's horn closed the third period and the beginning of the final quarter was Madrid in color, which seemed to leave the game sentenced by closing a 0-13 (54-75).
Losses and triples gave the hosts an extra life, who had a triple to go 73-78 before Rudy Fernández's wrist ended the excitement at the Astroballe.
