[Trending News] Hezonja, Llull and defense wake up from Manresa's dream

It gives the feeling that the greats are always uploading successes, but it is not quite like that. Barça, for example, has been a penalty for several season and has already said goodbye to this Cup. And Madrid, not so much, had to count 19 years between one title and the next. A deep bump from which he left. This Friday He resolved his debut with the most forceful triumph so far in the tournament (92-69), one that classifies it for his twelfth semifinal copera consecutive.

The good defense of the second quarter placed it in another dimension, one that Baxi Manresa could not arrive, And a lethal Mario Hezonja (24 points), with the help of Sergi Llull (13 and 4 assists), made the difference in attack. Campazzo and Tavares, important as always, but very dosed for what is coming. Good final of Andrés Happy grabbing confidence and reappearance of muse with good tone (He added 8 rebounds to his 10 points). As for the Descartes, the three extra-community: Deck for injury and Rathan-Mayes and Dennis Smith Jr (this still far from an optimal way) by technical decision. In Diego Ocampo, Great start with Derrick Alston JR, but some percentages incompatible with any option to give the bell. On the 0 of three of the American is a button of a broader sample, of the 4 of 26 of the collective, a lazy 15% that caused Madrid with its pressure.

The Real clear the path in the first part, although it cost him starting, especially for Alston Jr, a direct dagger to the heart of the hoop. At 7-0 departure, the American responded with two free throws, an additional mate and another mate in front of an eli ndiaye who entered with a mission and could not carry it out. Hezonja relied it soon and as welcome Alston took out the first foul. The son of that illustrious wing-power to make a great career in Spain carried 7 points and three personal personal. 7-0 to 7-10. Chus Mateo soon stirred the bench con Supermariowith Fernando by Tavares, with Llull and Hugo González. At the end of the act, with 6 points of the French pivot Bodian Massa, 22 equal.

A strong stomp was coming in the accelerator, which hit Hezonja to the race. A royal llull seconded him (7 goals and 3 assists in 8 minutes), Happy and Hugo in the perimeter and, inside, Ibaka, perfect and intimidating. He read the aid very well, the short actions, and placed three cap in much less than half a quarter. Madrid took flight to 39-26. In 7 minutes, alone a basket and two free throws of a manresa totally blocked at the very good merengue defense, effective and intimidating (up to six caps in the middle duel). The differential factor, which raises the roof of this team is now the defense. He closed the Aro to Manresa (2 of 11 in that second quarter), which did not find the long distance resource: 0 of 7

Around changing rooms or reacted soon he matagigantes This season Or he would wake up the dream of getting into his first semifinal since 1998. It was the second. The Real found Tavares and Musa near the hoop and Campazzo put the icing with a juggler penetration that caused the admiration of the stands, sides. The gap opened on a channel: 59-37minute 26. The champion did not fail, there would be no second consecutive cup.

Baxi, despite disappointment, lived the moment to the horn and did not let go. Reacted with two triples by Álex Reyes and Mateo had to recover Tavares to avoid a riot conato (65-54). In an outcome without shock in sight, perhaps I would have avoided it. In three minutes, Edy committed his fourth and fifth staff and returned to the bank. Llull with two triples and then hezonja with three resitted everything. The premieres are never simple and Madrid solved theirs very well. It is the cup.
