“We have regained confidence,” he said. Adam Hanga after the game of Euroleague last Tuesday, despite defeat against Efes. the shock of istanbul showed some improvement in the galloping irregularity of the last two months. The Real Madrid changed his face, with a good defense, with more stripes to Deck, Yabusele, Williams-Goss and Hanga himself… It was a good way to get momentum to start getting out of the rut, the hole or whatever you want to call it. The meeting of this Thursday in Tel Aviv, a classic against Maccabi, it was an ideal moment to confirm it. Madrid followed the same trend, almost with the same protagonists. Yabusele and Deck They were once again the players with the most minutes. And the development of the duel was so similar, that it also ended with the same outcome. With another slip. If Madrid was beating Efes by 10 points with nine minutes to go, against Maccabi it reached a 9-point lead with 5:41 remaining. And she ran away again. In fact, those of Paul Laso they haven’t scored since, only to succumb in another damn fourth quarter.
Madrid has shown an improved version in this double European day, but the result has been similar. And, finally, this is going to win. The two stumbles, both traced, make that “confidence” that Hanga spoke of shiver, because the dynamics continue in a negative trend. The week had at least one good news. The white team has ensured a place in the top four of the regular league and will have the field in favor in the playoff of rooms. The next objective is to finish second, to avoid a crossing with Milan or Efes, two bones that threaten on the horizon. Gone is the glorious start in which she fought for the leadership with Barça. It’s time to get back on the road. An optimal playing tone has already been restored. Now we need to finish the job… without die on the shore.
