El Real Madrid achieved this Saturday its first victory of the preseason with dominance and great performance by Vincent Poirier against UCAM Murcia in the Costa del Sol Tournament (80-65), the last test before the Endesa Super Cup next weekend, at the one that adds the doubt of Thomas Heurtel, who retired injured in an ankle.
With the absences of Sergio Llull and Rudy Fernndez, Pablo Laso repeated an inner pair and the decision was translated into immediate impact, as Yabusele and Poirier were differentials in points and rebounds under a good direction from Heurtel. A 4/8 in triples was a useful weapon to march nine up in a first quarter where UCAM Murcia went from less to more.
With the rhythm of the game increasing, Jeff Taylor raised the audience with a spectacular dunk (27-16) and the Murcian team looked for a way to do damage from the inside, aware of the bad percentages from outside, with a great Emanuel Cate, but his defense was still too soft for a lethal Madrid, led by Causeur (39-27 at halftime). Minutes before the break, point guard Thomas Heurtel sprained an ankle in a jump and left the track with a visible limp.
McFadden warmed his wrist and UCAM Murcia faked with a reaction that managed to stop the white team, closing back and driven by Alocn with confidence from the triple, who shared a quintet for a good handful of minutes with Ndiaye: a clear bet for the talent young man picks up wickers in the rotation.
The last quarter was a formality for the Madridistas and a not very hopeful scenario for Sito Alonso’s team, closing the gap with an outside shot and cleaning up the final score of a match where Vincent Poirier was the main protagonist in the paint with 18 points.
Real Madrid concludes its preseason with this victory against Murcia, who managed to beat the whites last Monday, and already set the goal in the Endesa Super Cup, which starts next Saturday 11 against Lenovo Tenerife (10pm) .
