Hanga and the 'new' Real Madrid, too much for Tomic

With the inertia of the new wave and the mechanisms revealed in the quarter-final series against Maccabi that everything seems to have changed, Real Madrid strung together their sixth victory in a run, as a return to the good habits of not so long ago, as an escape definitely to those black clouds that clouded the last few months.

Joventut was the victim at the WiZink in a duel of rhythm and exchanges, which was also a qualifying wink, as the Whites cleared one of those rivals that lie in wait for second place.

[99-89: Narration and statistics]

It seems clear that with the Final Four on the horizon,

is not going to touch too much what has brought him back to success.

Except for necessity and beyond integrating

into the offensive gear, his rotation roadmap, that key he pressed to escape depression, also worked against a contentious Penya.

One of those guys who looks like someone else is

.

Paradigm of the winds in favor, the Hungarian (five triples and 20 points, his white cap) was a torment.

Wisdom, experience and power for the moment of truth.

Because, in the afternoon-night of the former azulgranas in the Palace,

seemed willing to entangle Madrid.

His exhibition came in the second half, before Penya seemed still weighed down by the tremendous ko that caused his unexpected elimination in the Eurocup round of 16 (he also suffers without the injured

His initial defense without impetus were wings for Madrid.

Duran's area

With Hanga abusing Busquets and the only response to Andrés Feliz's blows of genius, Madrid opened the gap (20-11), more so with the second unit, in which Poirier burst in forcefully (40-27, min. 15) .

He scored at an intolerable rate for Joventut until Carles Durán pulled a zonal defense out of his hat with which to reverse the panorama.

And so he managed to survive, a partial of 2-15 while Madrid did not solve the escape room.

Dereck Willis dominated, Pau Ribas led the charge and Tomic did damage in the paint.

A blow from Joel Parra - recently named best youngster in the Endesa League - put the finishing touch to a two-sided first half.

From the locker room, Madrid returned even hungrier, with an offensive efficiency that skyrocketed.

First Hanga and then Yabusele and almost always Causeur, baskets on the run and the green-black area that was no longer so paralyzing.

Joventut clung to the match as best he could.

Giving the ball to Tomic in the paint is always a good solution, even if Tavares is the one in front.

The Croatian's dances were oxygen before the final round.

It was talent against physique, because Poirier also suffered against the former Barça player.

And Joventut was infected to the point of leveling again (83-83, min. 34), again with the area as a roost.

At that key moment, the one who grabbed the afternoon at the Palace by the chest was Adam Hanga.

A triple, a steal, an assist and boom.

A 10-0 that was already too much of a burden for Penya.
