After seven consecutive victories, the Madrid more irregular, the one who collapses on the outside, the one who does not make the three-point shot, the one who suffers worrying disconnections. This is how white people presented themselves Milandominated by Cape Town residents … all the way, except for a small glimpse of a second-half comeback led by the inexhaustible heart of Campazzo. Beyond their individual performance, the Scariolo boys had little to say against an Italian team that competed and had fun without restraint.

It didn’t take long Lyles by imposing his talent, premium movements from the Canadian in the post crowned with a superb triple. The whites were very healthy, aggressive on both ends of the pitch, Milan were undone by their defensive moves and only Elise and their free will allowed the inhabitants to remain standing. His compatriot LeDay rallied to the cause and scored five consecutive goals with his signature, as well as a spectacular against Nebo to Len, had the script changed.
The Merengue force had disappeared, the losses were constant and Hezonja continued to accumulate very forced shots. Giuseppe Poeta’s students, on the other hand, were all energetic and determined, virtues embodied in Lorenzo Brownhero of the Spanish conquest at Eurobasket 2022. A triple from the leader brought Madrid’s disadvantage to ten, forced Scariolo to try all the quintets that have existed and will exist. However, the Italian’s attempts were not fruitful, his knowledge undermined by a Milan which was close to perfection until the break.

Shortly after, Hézonjawith eight points, finally appeared and brought the difference down to four. Many battles still loomed on the horizon.
The last act began with pyrotechnics, facing Leon And Nibo in a spectacular block fight. During this time it was Okéké and his gift of opportunity that threatened home-field advantage, the same one that Brooks and his pecks maintained. GuduricWith his always reliable Balkan character, there was also a fantastic duel, with the Serbian managing to derail any comeback attempt with three points. Campazzo’s efforts were not enough and Milan, without fear, accelerated towards victory.
