LIVE – Paris Basketball-Real Madrid: follow the outcome of the big Euroleague evening at the Adidas Arena

Two free throws made by Malcolm.

The big shot from the Parisian leader who equalizes after a series of dribbles coming off the screen!

Will Paris achieve a new feat?

Small mid-distance shot signed Nadir Hifi at the buzzer and the Parisians, manhandled by Real, return to one possession. The last quarter promises to be hot!

A big shot from Cavalière and a counter from Hayes immediately brought the Parisian public to their feet. What really ignites this meeting?

Maodo Lo adds two points in his bag by going to the circle and allows his team to breathe.

Very present on the rebound (12 including 5 offensive rebounds), the Cape Verdean from Real Tavares really hurts the Parisians. And Abalde ends up sanctioning Nadir Hifi’s partners with three points, who no longer find the target.

The Parisians no longer score while Musa takes the points by penetrating the home defense. Coach Splitter calls for a probably welcome time out.

In difficulty defensively on the other side of the field, Maodo Lo suffered a drive from the Bosnian Musa who gave Real Madrid a small cushion under the circle.

Leader Maodo Lo scores from long distance and another crossover in this Euroleague shock!

Taking advantage of a gift from Real on a throw-in, Ward wins the foul in front of Musa and adds two points on the free throw line.

Ball in Parisian hands.

Facing the Madrilenians who were very lively at three points (73% success), the Parisians kept their backs to finally fall just four lengths behind at the break. Nadir Hifi (16 points) and Maodo Lo (12), in the absence of TJ Shorts, kept the Parisians alive during the second quarter as the gap increased to +10 in favor of Real.

Five points in less than a minute signed by the French guard (16 points in total), still in his confusing style. The Parisians refuse to break at the end of the first half.

Campazzo with the baton then Llull with the three-point finish twice in quick succession. The visitors, always insolent from long distance, took off again with a score.

Malcolm takes advantage of an effective screen from Kratzer on Tavares to go to the basket. Real takes a time out.

After another three points signed by Hezonja for Madrid, Sy scratches the mistake by falling to three points. The referees review the action on video. Unsportsmanlike given to Musa. Sy succeeds in 2/3 on the throw line and Paris regains possession.

Three-point step-back missed by the French rear who gets the foul from Gonzalez on the following action. Madrid is in the penalty, Hifi makes two free throws.

Contact is seen again between Hayes and Garuba under the Madrid circle. Challenge won by Paris and his coach Splitter, “and-one” in favor of Hayes.

The Argentinian from Real Madrid brings the gap back to +9 for his team with a new award-winning shot taking advantage of the screens. Time out.

Malcolm attacks the gap to the left of the basket and finishes with a nice touchdown. He also gets the foul and adds a free throw to the Parisian counter.

This also award-winning shot by Tyson Ward, at 45 degrees, is good for Parisians!

Hezonja offers himself a big shot in the axis of the basket.

Here we go again for ten minutes.

Campazzo adds two points with his left hand under the circle and Real Madrid increases its lead. Well into the game, Paris gradually lost track offensively while Madrid enjoyed themselves (5/8 from three points, 70% skill).

Even if Lo survives in Paris, Real continues two new three points thanks in particular to Hezonja. And the gap increases in favor of the Spaniards, who are not missing much offensively.

After a big blast of Hi-Fi, the Madrilenians react immediately and circulate well. Campazzo punishes from long distance, the visitors pass in front.

Rather open at three points, on two occasions, the Chilean entrant Sebastian Herrera showed imprecision.

The Parisians lead 12-9 in this tight first quarter. Maodo Lo has already scored seven points.

After a light Madrid run carried by Musa (four points), Hifi stopped the bleeding by scoring at almost zero degrees, to the left of the basket.

Entering the floor, Nadir Hifi shifts to the left at three points but the ball hits the circle without entering. Real recovers.

After a three-pointer, Maodo Lo enters the racket and scores again with his right hand to allow his team to lead by six points.

Served under the basket by Ward, Hayes suffers the counter from Tavares!

Facing the basket from long distance, the American Tyson Ward scores the first winning shot of the match.

After a tribute to Janis Timma, a Latvian player who died at the age of 32, it’s time to play. First ball in Madrid’s hands.

Lo – Malcolm – Ward – Jantunen – Hayes

The presentation of the Paris Basketball players begins, a show in “NBA mode”. Big ovation for Nadir Hifi, eagerly awaited in the absence of TJ Shorts.

As in football, the Madrid club reigns supreme in the European Basketball Cup with 11 Euroleague titles won in its history. However, the Merengue, beaten in the final last year by Panathinaikos, are having their worst start to a season on the European scene in 22 years. The departures last summer of Frenchmen Guerschon Yabusele (Philadelphia), Vincent Poirier (Efes Istanbul) and Fabien Causeur (Milan) hurt very badly, as did the retirement of Spanish legend Rudy Fernandez.

Under pressure, Real Madrid needs a victory this Tuesday in Paris while it also occupies 2nd place in the Spanish championship behind Valencia.

A real blow for Paris Basketball before the match. Second best scorer and passer in the Euroleague (19.3 points and 7.8 assists on average), pocket leader TJ Shorts (1.75 m) was announced ill and forfeited for this meeting. For the first time since the start of last season, the capital club will play without its American star during a European match. Maodo Lo and Nadir Hifi will therefore be responsible for leading the Parisian game.

Other bad news, fullback Yakuba Ouattara and strong winger Enzo Shahrvin are also absent this evening.

2nd in the Betclic Elite French championship, the Parisian club is particularly impressive on the European scene this season, for its first participation in the Euroleague. After 15 matches, Paris occupies the top of the 18-team ranking with a win ahead of Monaco, Bayern Munich and Fenerbahçe.

Since October, Tiago Splitter’s men have won 11 matches for only 4 defeats in this group stage, notably taking the scalps of Olympiakos, Monaco and Barcelona. This Tuesday evening, another European giant stands at the Adidas Arena, Real Madrid, outgoing finalist but in difficulty in the rankings (13th, 6 wins for 9 defeats).
