Real Madrid no longer advances from victory to victory, it does so from beating to beating, in a terrible habit for its rivals. Not even fatigue makes a dent in those of Chus Mateo, which accumulate trips, games and triumphs in a spectacular succession. Joventut was the latest victim of a week in which it had already fleeced Estrella Roja and Partizón. [73-101: Narracin y estadsticas]

No victory by less than 14 points. Conceding little and scoring a lot, more than 100 at the Olympic, in a huge and spectacular afternoon, against a team that is in the middle of a battle to qualify for the next Copa del Rey in Malaga and that arrived after seven wins in a row. Real Madrid, very solid, remains at the top in Europe and in the Endesa League. He still has two games left to close the year, Asvel and Valencia.

In Badalona he appeared again without Deck (an absence in the four that joins It was left over) and also without the magician Sergio Rodríguez. But Mateo always has a soldier ready to step forward. Very early he began to open the gap in the Olympic, dominating the rebound and running, a deadly combination if they let Madrid.

Halfway through the second act, the black-greens were already staggering, unable to advance against the gale. To all his virtues, Madrid combined success, devastating from the perimeter. At halftime he had already accumulated 10 triples from 21 attempts, especially effective a Mario Hezonja that lives in the clouds in recent weeks. A triple from the Croatian made it +21 in less than 19 minutes (32-53).

But Hezonja is angel and demon. On an afternoon without much tension, a protest ended with his expulsion. He got tangled with the referees in the last play of the first half and a double technique, the second already in the locker room tunnel, prevented him from continuing with his show at the Olympic Stadium: he accumulated 14 points, four triples and six rebounds.

It was a small spring for Penya, who with the free throws got a little closer to the return. A mirage. The white response was even more forceful. A run of 2-16, four more triples along the way, to leave everything ready for judgment with still a quarter of an hour to play.

At that point, the Whites had accumulated 14 three-pointers, above 50% success rate. As if someone had widened her earrings. They continued advancing in steamroller mode, with minutes of confidence to Carlos Alocn (the only one over 20 minutes on the track), This is Ndiaye (nine points, four rebounds, two blocks) and the youth squad Hugo González (more than six minutes of play and four points) and advantages that exceeded thirty.
