Real Madrid takes off against Partizan

Real Madrid defeated Partizán (93-86) this Thursday on the second day of the Euroleague in a hard-fought victory from the step forward in defense and under the direction of Facundo Campazzo who, luckily for the whites, received the precautionary his sanction.

Chus Mateo’s team seeks to grow and fit together its new pieces and, with successes, it is always easier. In an irregular start, the availability of ‘Facu’, who is pending the resolution of his one-match ban for his protests last week in Munich, prevented the whites from having to improvise further.

The Argentine was one of the best at the WiZink Center and, in addition, the locals were left without Andres Feliz before the break due to injury, so Mateo had to pull even more from Campazzo who finished with 8 points, 6 rebounds and 11 assists . Madrid, in search of a solid 40 minutes, went in spurts, ahead since they found their inner ways in the first quarter.

The whites moved the ball well and, after the break, adjusted better in defense, especially in the barrage of three-pointers they were receiving once again. With many new pieces, Partizan did not have everything with them either, although those triples gave them the first gains (16-21). On his return, Mario Hezonja started like a shot, but it was also noted that the rhythm was difficult to catch.

In a duel of youth players, Nakic and Ndiaye challenged each other in the first minutes, but it was the seniors, Campazzo and Tavares, who tied the match (24-24). Serge Ibaka, with the fouls from Cape Verde, also had an important role, and the rebound gave many lives and the rhythm that Madrid wanted.

Mateo’s men made the rubber, but Zeljko Obradovic’s men always came back (50-47). At the restart, under the leadership of Campazzo, the locals once again had victory in hand, but it was not until a 15-0 run at the start of the last quarter, when the version that the Palace and its coach want was seen. of yours.

From the defense, from the rebound, Madrid flew and definitively left behind a Partizan that seems to have more work than the Spanish team. Those from Belgrade suffered their second defeat in two Euroleague games and the Madrid team found themselves in part on this second day to break the record of victories and hope to start rolling after starting.
