Unicaja had won at the Palau to delve deeper into Bara’s sadness, outside of the Final Four. To put pressure on his rival, who would say so, for the leadership of the Endesa League. And Real Madrid later succumbed in La Fonteta and lost the lead of the ACB with one day left. The Malagueos, who receive the relegated Palencia on Sunday, now depend on themselves. Although it was surely not the greatest penalty for Chus Mateo. “The worst of all,” in the words of the white coach, was the injury to Gaby Deck missing five minutes. [99-93: Narracin y estadsticas]
The Argentine left with his hands on his face, paralyzed from the very moment his teammate It was left over It fell on him and his right knee made a strange movement. Maybe it was the pain and surely it was the memory. A year ago, in Belgrade, it was Zach Leday the one who, also unintentionally, ruined his season, this time on the other knee. He missed the Final Four. Now he awaits a medical verdict.
The wonderful duel for the leadership took a turn on the penultimate day. Rarely has that first place been so honored, which guarantees nothing, just the home court factor in the entire playoffs. But Madrid and Unicaja are determined to take it to the last breath and it will be, because this Sunday everything will be resolved. The Malaga team, on their particular wave, won at the Palau with a final basket of Kendrick Perry. The whites, absent in defense, could not do the same against Valencia with an unusual success: they finished with 15 triples from 20 attempts.

Some of them in the very outcome, where the orange baskets and the white misses contrasted. oh with Justin Anderson Pletric, the locals had the maximum and did not release their prey. Pradilla joined the bandwagon of success and Chris Jones, the best of the night, he said. Valencia Basket had not beaten Madrid at the Fuente de San Luis in a league match since April 2013. Those of Xavi Albert They will fight on Sunday to finish third.
The duel had been a constant exchange, an exhausting pace, with the attacks clearly imposing themselves on the defenses and a stupendous intensity in which neither of the two was able to distance themselves too much. The Euroleague has given them both a break, the Taronjas without playoffs and the Whites, who have played one game in the last nine days, quickly resolving their ticket to Berlin against Baskonia. And that freshness was reflected in the game.
Madrid adjusted its defense somewhat in the second quarter, but they continued to be penalized for losses against a Valencia without Brandon Davies but with the command of Chris Jones and the regained confidence of a group that, since the arrival of Xavi Albert to the bench instead of Alex Mumbr, has won four of the last five games. That was reflected in the external success, in the triples of Ojeleye, Jovic it is included Ingliswhich continued after the break and at times made Madrid desperate.
“We have not defended anything. We have allowed too many licenses,” concluded Chus Mateo, who after the joy of going to the Final Four sees his goal of the ACB leadership moving away. On Sunday he receives Baskonia without depending on himself.
