Real Madrid won the second leg 90-73 against Joventut Badalona in the Endesa League semi-finals, sluggish for just a few minutes before the break, then balanced out with a solvent version that revitalized after the break. .
Gershon Jabusele led the White team at the start of the match, scoring the first seven goals by hanging over the rim from the free-throw line and hitting from the perimeter. With no reaction from his rivals until the end, Vives had nothing to eat in the attacking section and broke his first streak at three and a half minutes.
The witness to Yabusele’s departure was Nigel Williams-Goss, who scored two baskets in a row to make it 11-2 and forced the visiting team into its first timeout. This suited them well, as they were one step away with a 0-7 run off the bench. But I could see them in the rear-view mirror and thanks to the momentum of Walter Tavares and again Yabusele, Real Madrid picked up speed again and hung in the whoops without regret (22-14, 10 minutes). ).
