The coach of Real Madrid, Paul Lasopraised the level of their next rival, Joventut de Badalona, whom they will receive this Sunday at the WiZink Center (6:30 p.m.), highlighting that they have “competed well all season” Y “the proof” of this is that they are playing with them for second place in the League.
“They have players who contribute a lot of things like [Pep] Busquets, and very talented as [Pau] Ribas, [Ante] Thomas, [Ferran] Bassas… That mix makes them a dangerous team, they have competed well all season, combining Europe and the Endesa League, and the proof is that right now we are playing for second place in the standings”Laso highlighted in statements offered by the club.
The Madrid coach highlighted that the last days of training have allowed them to “cool off mentally” Y “turn page” of the Euroleague quarterfinals in which they beat Israeli Maccabi Tel Aviv, to focus on the national competition.
“For us it will be key to do a good defensive job and contain their scoring ability. They have a lot of people on the outside who can score and in the pick and roll”Laso warned about a Joventut that follows them to a single victory, since they have 20 wins in 30 games, for Real Madrid’s 21 in the same games.
