The third act was not over and the night in Istanbul was already a street runner: Real Madrid had torn apart Anadolu Efes, a rival far from the peak of competitiveness in which it lived for nothing. They are eight victories of carrerilla in a resounding start of the season for those of Chus Mateo, although the summer 'only' has reinforced him with Campazzo. He went to 103 points in that usually fierce Sinan Erdem, a display of power with several proper names through the roof, from Yabusele to Causeur. [80-103: Narrative and statistics]

The NBA falls in love with the new Bernabéu: "We will tell Florentino Pérez to organize an official game here"

The hangover from the "Doncic party," as Mateo called Tuesday's win against the Mavericks, was a double-edged sword. The rush of going to almost 130 points, of defeating an NBA rival, but also the fatigue of an effort that perhaps not even the coach himself expected to be so extreme considering the madness of the calendar. But it's what it takes to manage a group of tireless winners. And in those ups and downs Real Madrid advanced in Sinan Erdem, against an Efes in search of recognizing itself in this post-Ataman stage (and, above all, post Vasilje Micic).

The dawn was pure effervescence, as if it were still in full comeback against Dallas. In less than seven minutes, the Whites, who recovered Deck (Tavares was already on Tuesday) had given 26 points to a perplexed Efes. In that fleeting journey, driven from the success and the offensive rebound, Yabusele chained 14 consecutive points.

But the advantage, which came to be 17 points (9-26), as it came vanished. Madrid's second unit lowered the piston and Beaubois and Darius Thompson injected a 15-0 run to the edge of the tie at 31. Because, Campazzo returned (he finished with 10 assists) and with Hezonja now awake, the momentum and the visitor advantage returned, dominating everything that happened on the court, as if playing with two more speeds. The physical level was evidenced by Poirier, who signed a brutal stopper to Yilmaz.

The Efes had risen once from the canvas, but the second time he would end up throwing in the towel, knocked out. In the second half Madrid continued to fly with the current in favor in an increasingly tense Sinan Erdem. A lot of work lies ahead of Erdem Can, who was second to Zeljko Obradovic in Fenerbahçe and who comes from Ankara. His team was unable to contain the white speed, a team that cannot be allowed to play on the run. And, despite some small nap of Madrid, the matter had been finalized very soon, with advantages that reached 23 points.
