Partizan arrived in Madrid after five straight victories. He won in Valencia and Kaunas. Milan, Monaco and Panathinaikos had fallen in Belgrade. With permission from Madrid, the strongest team in the tournament. Added to that was the reunion after everything they experienced last season in the frenetic quarterfinal series. Llull and Punter, with whom the battle of the second game began eight months ago, chatted before starting with the referee trio. It was just about playing and Madrid was once again superior in that area. Very superior. Chus Mateo’s men resolved the match with their usual forcefulness.
Partizan this season has changed a third of the team, but Punter and Leday are still there. They are the soul of the Serbs with the permission of Zeljko Obradovic. They barely resisted a couple of quarters. Madrid dominated because they frequently showed that captivating profile that causes countless problems for the current rival. Musa was the best example. The Bosnian scored 16 points in just eleven minutes on the court before the break. He only made one mistake from the free kick and it was torture for the Partizan defense. The Balkans were not able to withstand the exchange of blows beyond the first quarter. Caboclo, the 2.06 Brazilian with the same wingspan as Tavares, was the only one capable of responding to the challenges of Chus Mateo’s team. When the classics appeared and the external success was maintained, the differences shot up to over ten points. Vukcevic, the former Madrid youth player, took over from Caboclo, but it was insufficient to stop the local waves.
Added to the success that has now become customary was a very hard-working defense by Causeur against Kevin Punter, Partizan’s main scoring focus. The American guard only scored 4 points with 2/7 shooting from the field. The Frenchman’s defense was impeccable. When Campazzo took control of the ship, the game was over. The Argentine is not the star player who started the season, but his current level is enough and more than enough to be decisive. With a quarter of an hour of play left, Madrid had put an end to any discussion against a rival with room for improvement.
