Madrid remains intractable: 19 consecutive victories | Basketball | Sports

Euroleague day 9

Real Madrid Monaco

And there are already 19 wins in a row this season, all he has played. Madrid remains intractable in whatever scenario (eight wins in the Euroleague, nine in the ACB and two in the Super Cup) and against the rival that is put in front of it, the last one being Monaco that appeared at WiZink with the poster as a semi-finalist in the Euroleague and left disfigured, shaken by Campazzo’s baton, Musa’s points (21) and Tavares’s mallet.

Madrid woke up with Causeur in the starting five to handcuff Mike James and Loyd, the outside threat. Monaco turned inside and Motiejunas performed a classic on the board, trying to get Tavares out of the cave. In the opposite direction, the center was the target of Campazzo’s passes and the focus of the local attack. Monaco was trying to put the game to sleep, to prevent Madrid from speeding up the clock. He only managed it for a few moments. Soon Chus Mateo’s team began to burn shoes. Tavares put the lock under his net, rebounded and assisted almost in the same game, throwing the ball as if he were a baseball player. The Madridistas were running and Musa didn’t stop scoring. Sasa Obradovic’s team only took refuge in individual actions (23-10). The white Meccano worked so well that Chus Mateo barely changed pieces (30-20).

Musa’s dynamite was inherited by Llull in the second quarter with three triple masters. Madrid continued in roadrunner mode, displaying the arsenal they have as a squad. Sergio Rodríguez relieved Campazzo, Rudy completed the trio of veterans and Monaco, unhinged at times, only reacted in the final moments to continue with a thread of life (53-39) at halftime. The whites had fun even if they changed the pawns. Monaco was a caricature.

Campazzo returned to the wheel. The Argentine is a coach on the court and the best orchestra conductor. The point guard stopped and accelerated, scored and assisted. Next to him, Tavares emerged again in another burst of fury to sink James and smash the rim (70-47). Madrid controlled the distances without excessive sweat, much superior in every corner. Not even Tavares’ fourth foul altered the situation. Musa lived one of those nights in a trance and in defense he did not give himself a crumb.

Madrid entered the last quarter with a lead of 30 (80-50). The difference was so abysmal that he spent five minutes without scoring a point, frustrated in the triple. But Monaco was exhausted and the minutes ticked away until the 19th victory in a row.
