Madrid devastates Joventut and in the end asks for the time

No one has ever come back from 2-1 in a semifinal playoff to five games, situation in which Madrid is now after passing over Joventut on Thursday in the last 12 minutes (34-14) and repeat this Saturday for almost three quarters to get 30 up (37-67) in a great display of basketball with zero success of three (22%). Great defense in general, limiting Kyle Guy in particular and erasing Tomic, and very good attacks (except for the three-pointers), sharing the ball, taking care of it without turnovers and with Musa (25 points), Yabusele (19) and Hezonja (13) very incisive in shorter distances.

Despite the merengue exhibition, As this sport lasts 40 minutes, the last and final one was entered with Joventut’s options to complete a historic feat (73-78), the comeback father. Musa rang the alarm clock on time and Tavareswith a rebound and a long-range pass to Yabusele, sentenced (73-83). Edy was whistled for three fouls this time and another three were pointed at him (no free throws), he ended up with 0 points after passing only 14:55 on track and yet his team accumulated +34 in that time. Amazing.

After Carles Duran’s statements complaining about the refereeing, the semifinal came to Badalona and what was found could not surprise anyone. A great fill in the Olympic and a lot of initial tension, so much so that the atmosphere was cut off at some point. Joventut raised their physical level, their intensity, to the maximum of their possibilities to discuss the internal white superiority. What they had talked about in the previous one. kyle guy showed up, not with triples, because he was hypervigilant (by Hanga, Rudy…), but he did take free kicks, going to the basket (13 points in the first half with a single 3-pointer). The rebound was more or less even, so… Madrid went 16 ahead at halftime (32-48) for pure basketball. The one that he put on the parquet and the Penya lacked. And that without hitting three (a very poor 2 of 15), although he nailed it with two (14 of 18, 77%) after only losing two balls.

The green-black stands maintained their illusion and celebrated with a roar Tavares’ first foul in the tie, in minute 14, which did not appear, and the second right after a block and the third at the start of the second half. Chus Mateo, however, was there for five minutes before going through the changing rooms with Hezonja and Yabusele as an inner couple and it worked very well. The changes, the quintets, everything was going great for the European champion with the Croatian and the French very successful and looking for and finding the advantages. In La Penya, neither Tomic nor Parra appearedNor Andrés Feliz, involved but failed. Just a couple of triples from Brodzinasky and something from Birgander.

From the class of honor to the comeback

Despite the fact that Madrid had been outstanding, Joventut still had a choice if their staging at the restart (32-48) was up to the challenge, although what was found was a rival now registered, raising the bar to the sky and turning off the boiler (eye, only temporarily). Yabusele returned to the charge, like Goss and, above all, Muse. the bosnian, full of shots and penetrations, very intense, he placed +30 with his tenth point in that third quarter (37-67, minute 26).

Who then thought that the last minute would come with some uncertainty? Nobodybut it happened after a fantastic impulse from La Penya and the relaxation of the visitor. A 36-11 that allowed him to face the final seconds only five down after a three-pointer from Feliz: 73-78. Two free kicks from Musa and a rebound from Tavares (which Mateo recovered from a long rest due to the final burden) With a pass from field to field for Yabusele’s mate, they quelled the green-black rebellion. The one that put together people like Birgander, Busquets, Ellenson, even Kraag. Just believing in her was awesome. On Monday, more in the same place, although at a different time, at 9:00 p.m. as in the first two. We will have to see it.
