Real Madrid Basketball in Dubai: EuroLeague Debut

Today is another demanding test far from home. Nine of Dubai Basketball’s 12 victories have been won in their home arena. On the last day, they won in overtime against Olympiacos (108-98). They are three wins away from play-in and don’t want to start falling apart. It is a team with a good balance between the exterior game (Wright IV, Avramovic, Bacon, Anderson and the former madridistas Musa and Prepelic) and the interiors (Kabengele and Petrusev, who are the highest rated players of the team, Bertans, Caboclo…).

Defense and interior play
Precisely, the battle inside could be one of the keys to the match at the Coca-Cola Arena. THE Madrid features a large bench depth with the Tavares, Garuba, Lyles or Len. The Ukrainian pivot has just achieved his best performance against Panathinaikos, with 18 points and an evaluation of 27, and constitutes a reliable alternative to the pivot position. Defense will be another important factor, as we saw in the first leg at home. Movistar Arena. Ours won 107-93, with an excellent second half during which they achieved a partial of 63-35 thanks to their defensive level. This afternoon we are aiming for a first victory in Dubai.
