• Fall of Real Madrid Objective reasons and incomprehensible reasons

The ring of trust has become tiny for a Real Madrid that has been fully stamped in 2022 with an unknown reality.

If the Cup, to which he already attended full of doubts, set off all his alarms, what has happened since then does not alleviate the present of

Pablo Laso

's group , even more bloody if compared to the seamless power of Barça.

The focus of the problems is on the direction of the game: "The base is the one who has to organize and make the team play well."

It's not just the defeats anymore, that have gradually dislodged him from the leadership of both the Euroleague and the ACB.

Not even the style, so conditioned now by the type of players that Laso manages, so little to do with that offensive vertigo of his early years.

It is the rudder.

He scares, above all, the flagrant lack of success from the perimeter of the group.

And in modern basketball, without triples there is no paradise.

The whites have played seven games since the lost final in Granada.

They fell, on a run, in the next three, with some negative marks for history, such as 47 points in Kaunas.

Although it seemed that with the victories against Armani in extra time, in Burgos and against ASVEL he recovered his tone -he closed a streak of seven losses in 10 games-, against Baxi Manresa on Sunday he returned to his old ways: it was the fifth consecutive defeat in WiZink at ACB, never seen before.

Absence of Causer

Pablo Laso puts the accent on the direction of the team, a key position, where

Sergio Rodríguez, Luka Doncic or Facundo Campazzo

recently passed .

"Now it's costing us that and it's what we have to improve for the future. To play well, a team needs everyone to join in. It's not a question of whether they put them in or not, but since Causeur's departure we have lost generation of play , something that helped the point guards and now it's costing us", admits the coach from Vitoria, who is also not being allowed to have continuity in his rotation due to the continuous physical problems.

Without

Carlos Alocén, Fabien Causeur or Alberto Abalde

, the problems in the construction of the attack are more evident.

Without pure shooters -- there was no substitute for

Jaycee Carroll

-- the perimeter is no longer a threat and the interiors have less space.

The return of his long injuries to

Trey Thompkins and Anthony Randolph

, still far from what they were, does not help either.

In the seven games after the Cup, the aim of the three white guards reaches alarming levels.

Between

Sergio Llull

(6 out of 44),

Thomas Heurtel

(two out of 19) and

Nigel Williams-Goss

(0 out of 5), a horrible 8 out of 68.

Nico Laprovittola

, who left for Barça last summer, has 24 of 52 in recent days.

The overall team in this section is 51 of 189, 26.9%.

What was once the most productive team in Europe offensively is now only seventh in points scored in the entire EuroLeague (77.7) and one of the worst in percentage of three (15th of 18 with 33.8%).

In the Endesa League it is sixth, with 36.5%.

After falling against Manresa, Laso pointed directly at their bases.

"With 13 assists and 19 turnovers it is very difficult to win a game. There are many things: the circulation of the ball, the rhythm... When you see the numbers of the point guards today... We have played with four different ones [the youth squad

Juan also appeared

Núñez

] and none have been able to find the game of the team".

The Whites, second in the Euroleague after Barça, face a very tough week in Europe with visits to Efes (today, 6:30 p.m., DAZN) and Maccabi.

The goal of finishing in the top four to achieve home court factor in the quarterfinals is close.
