Basketball: Real Madrid defeats Barcelona and is crowned champion of the Copa del Rey | Basketball | Sports – Archyde

Madrid agreed to play runner’s basketball, the one that sprints and can’t find a break, the comings and goings. Something that favored Barça, comfortable with free will because Grimau understands that with freedom on the hardwood talent emerges. And there Jokubaitis appeared, as well, of course, as Parker. And even Parra, who scored a triple after a hit. Chus Mateo then asked for a header from the bench, to lower his heart rate a little. But play with it fast forwardHowever, it was not a problem for Madrid either when Hezonja stepped onto the court, who is a repeating rifle, who scores from any position, who likes to run to stop in his tracks and rise above his rivals to hear the always desired memory. His 12 points in the quarter, well accompanied by Campazzo’s incessant dribbling and, above all, by the number of offensive rebounds, rebalanced the balance. Until Kalinic decided otherwise with a triple at the buzzer, 43-45 at the intermission.
The battle for supremacy, although it was going to be a one-night affair, would not be a breeze for anyone. And the tension, the electricity, the deep-rooted enmity between the teams was chewed, reverberated by Rudy Fernández and Satoransky, who faced each other without major problems before going to the locker room. Keep going, keep going, this is basketball and a good one.

Barça tried to go one step further in intensity and was punished personally. “You can’t play like that,” Laprovittola complained to the referee moments before Vesely was eliminated due to an accumulation of fouls. Jauja for Poirier, who once again ruled under the boards, who showed muscle and wrist, who devoured Hernángomez and certified Madrid’s victory. He who says that Cups nobody beats him. He doesn’t even empathize.
There is no one to argue with this Madrid, a team that has made victory a routine and that no longer boasts of muscle for leading the ACB or the Euroleague, but rather does so as a record to explain that it is the authentic and only one. King of Cupsthat the crown is not shared nor is it two-headed. He has 29 laurels (in 52 finals) compared to the Blaugrana’s 27 (out of 39) and clarifies that history is on his side. Also basketball, a choral team like few others where the brilliance is shared because Campazzo is the brilliant director of an orchestra where Musa and Hezonja punish from the perimeter, where Deck and Yabusele do it with their penetrations or mid-distance shots, and where Tavares does it. does under the hoop. Although Poirier also did it at Martín Carpena, a giant with the ball in his hands. A championship cocktail.

As if losing the initial jump had made him indigestible in a bad way, Tavares raised his arms to the sky to close his basket, to put three glorious blocks – to Kalinic, Da Silva and Hernángomez – that left Barça stunned, to the point that later From Parker’s initial basket they conceded a partial 9 to 0, butter hands and turnovers at the edge. Musa asked for the ball, who seemed to be having one of those nights in which the ring gets bigger with every shot he makes, and Campazzo followed suit, who was as happy to express himself with drives to the basket as with three-pointers, a player who always responds when he he demands. Madrid, enjoying itself, licked its lips while the famous So so so wins Madrid!the culés were annoyed because they whistled personally at their team every time they made contact with Tavares. But this Barça is something that doesn’t exist, now bad, tomorrow good, the day after I don’t know. And Satoransky, who until now had made a Cup to forget, raised his voice. And encouragement for the Blaugrana. None, in any case, like Parker, who overnight has become the light that illuminates Barça’s path, the player who doesn’t even shiver at three, the one who with every basket the public gives him the ears with “¡MVP, MVP!”. Because that apparent reluctance he shows, that not knowing if he is at a barbecue in Texas or at the Cup final, that saddened running, is the carny’s trick. Because Parker was there and wanted the spotlight, also the ball in his hands. A layup, a basket from the past hoop and the witness for Laprovittola, who had it—his friendship and historical rivalry due to sharing the Argentine team—of all colors with Campazzo. And his two triples were enough to close the prologue in a draw (19-19).
It happened that at the moment of truth came the white character, that of the team that knows itself to be the best, that knows nothing other than winning. So after Brizuela’s triple – a good progression for him as a Barça player – Madrid responded with three shots from outside the radius that absorbed the net. One from Deck and two others from Yabusele (77-68), the maximum difference of the match. And it was over.
It was Vesely’s moment of outburst, a hot-blooded Czech. Although he had been blurred by Tavares until now, he understood that one step back from the bottle was three steps ahead of the team, since the one who took the white center out of his zone of influence gained a whole lot. And more with his wrist for those mid-range shots. Eight points that, however, were no more than a caress for Madrid, who took refuge in Deck, another player who thrives in hot moments, the greater the challenge, the better the response. Because when Deck goes to the basket he does it with everything. And, above all, with success. Also a Poirier who won the battle in the low post. Racquets on each side of the net that, fueled by the missed shots at the Barça free throw line – seven out of 13 for Barça and 21 out of 24 for Madrid in the match – caused the scoreboard to alternate, leading to the last act (66-63) with all the unknowns to discover.
