Tavares is not the only
If I want to stop Tavareswe stop Tavares putting the five against him. So what do I do with Hezonja? He is a very differential player on the two sides of the court and on which his game turns, but it is not the Tavares Team but Real Madrid. It does not obsess me because I only care that Baskonia wins. Equal 50 points and 45 rebounds, but we won“.
If Real Madrid defeats on the Baskonia courtWhite will access the semifinals of the Endesa League playoffs. The rival would be Barça or Unicaja, so it promises a series of scandal. Even so, everything is still to be decided in both cases.
