Real Madrid falls again against Paris Basketball! In the heart of an adidas arena transformed into a cauldron, our Parisians extinguished the Merengues this Tuesday evening (98-92).
The remake of the last play-ins is for Paris! Madrid did not see the light of day during this 25th day of EuroLeague. The fault lies with the Parisians who are simply masterful in all aspects of the game, despite a little scare at the end of the match.
Madrilenians quickly understood that this is Paris! After a handful of minutes leading the score, Real Madrid took the Parisian Express head-on. From then on our 2nd unit on the floor, Nadir Hifi scored his 1000th point in the EuroLeague and took the reins of this 1QT. Well helped by interiors ready to recover the slightest rebound (6 offensive rebounds to 3 in the 1QT), our team imposes ITS rhythm. Everything is going too quickly for the Merengues on both sides of the floor, as reflected by these 6 ball losses in barely 10 minutes. The festival continues in the 2QT: Jared Rhoden and Momo Faye drop very solid blocks, Amath M’Baye scores 12 points in 6 minutes, Justin Robinson delights from the parking lot… In short, Paris dominates in the middle of a crazy adidas arena with every action. However, Real Madrid tries, varies, changes system. But our players seem to see into the future as they anticipate the opposing passing lines so well.
Returning from the locker room, Paris Basketball has a lead of no less than 3 possessions (50-42). In the other camp, the Merengues continue to rely on a saving skill (14/32 at 3 points) in the face of the storm (59-55). However, visitors must constantly fight to get their shots in due to this hellish Parisian aggression. This allows Paris to maintain a lead throughout the entire 3QT (75-66). Especially when Jared Rhoden or Seba Herrera send shots out of nowhere! Once you enter this 4QT, the tension clearly increases a notch. The defenses take over the attacks, to the delight of our Parisians who continue to mix interceptions with lightning transitions. Casa Blanca nevertheless manages to snatch its money time 2 minutes from time (89-87). Worse, they go ahead (89-90)! The moment chosen by The Prince of Paris to perform an extremely clutch and one on the head of Eddy Tavares, followed by decisive shots from Jared Rhoden (him again).
This Real Madrid resplendent lately, the team in good form on the continent was literally extinguished by Paris Basketball (98-92). It’s a victory by knockout! From A to Z, Francesco Tabellini’s team has always been able to disrupt the Madrid mechanism to the delight of our supporters.
