Pablo Laso’s long-awaited welcome to the WiZink Center only lasted until the match began. The special night of the Vitorian, who returned home for the first time since he was fired in the summer of 2022, ended when Madrid turned on its powerful engine, the one that allows it to dominate, and with great ease, this first part of the Euroleague. Logical, because one thing is feelings, beautiful memories, and another very different thing is the hunger for victory. And Real Madrid, as Manquiña said, is very professional.
The whites closed their hearts to the emotions, which were many, and after recovering from the surprise of seeing Bayern’s good start, very physical thanks to the size of Ibaka y Thank you, they were closing gaps little by little. First in defense, very good Campazzo and his hyperactivity, and then in attack, clarified by Hezonja and above all Llull, top scorer of the duel and responsible for the game breaking in favor of his teammates. Not in vain, in an interview in ‘As’, the Basque acknowledged that his son tells him that the Balearic Islander is god.
Tears in the stands, tears on the face of Pablo Laso. A little piece of basketball history was written at the WiZink Center last night, as a legend returned home. Accustomed to showing a grumpy, very competitive attitude, the Vitorian’s eyes moistened. After all, before one of the best coaches in the history of the Real Madrid, is human. He gave eternal applause to receive him, with even his former pupils very excited, who paraded one by one to greet the teacher, share confidences and laughs. It was an incredible tribute, no one wanted the game to start. But, after a few minutes that seemed eternal, the ball flew into the Madrid night.
And, after a year and a half, Laso’s board appeared, although this time he led the enemy side. Great was the first quarter of the Germans, competing in intimidation with Tavares Serge Ibaka e Isaac Bonga, who accumulated up to four blocks to even the balance. Even the whites seemed surprised by such a display. I suffered Musa (one of eight in shots in the first period) and only Causeur managed to fine-tune his sights. The Gaul Sylvian franciscoformerly of Manresa, added the spice from the line of three and the Bavarians, with great enthusiasm, commanded the scoreboard.
The German muscle was so broad that Poirier He couldn’t stop being beaten (he even touched his teeth, in fear, in case he had lost a piece after being elbowed). But it was a tremendous dunk by the Frenchman, with two hands, that accelerated the locals. He was picking up cruising speed and, at the same time, Ibakaimmense and who played a few months in Madrid during the NBA strike in 2012, cast the anchor so that the difference did not hurt too much at half-time.
It was an ugly game if you looked at the whole, but very intense in the details. Bonga, brilliant world champion with Germany, continued to torture Madrid. Fine, athletic, with long limbs and an innate intuition to disturb, the former Los Angeles Lakers player was a certainty. But his rivals, with Campazzo in the lead, they had managed to short-circuit the Bavarian attacks in the third quarter. AND Hezonjawho has been splendid in recent duels (his contract expires this summer, by the way), began to weave a nightmare for the visitors.
There was also time for the offal, blood on Rudy’s face and on one of Tavares’ fingers. The battle had threatened to be suffocating. But Madrid also enjoys having mud on their shoes, especially when the veterans, Rudy, The thing y Llull They are on the track. Bayern was exhausted and Ibaka was frustrated, afraid to even shoot. Madrid only had to raise the sword and bring it down with force.
