Diego Ocampo analysis: Final between two experts at the highest level

He Real Madrid they have played in eight of the last ten Final Fours, while Olympiakos has been in the title game three times lately. They are real experts in playing this type of match and have many very experienced players for this match. And seniority matters in top-level matches.

One of the key ones will undoubtedly be the duel in the box. Tavares, until now the decisive player of Real Madrid, will have a tough opponent in the fall. This head-to-head matchup will be vital and will need to see how much arbitration leniency is there and how they can affect the various accumulations due to fouls. Being such big players, they would be very conditioned if one of the teams decided to make a run, and the attrition of the semi-finals and the games themselves would be decisive there. I think that the one who can tire the other one more will have a good advantage, because it will affect the defense and attack of their headquarters, the basic figures.

In it basic pillar duels will not be less attractive. Both sets have signs physical (Walkup and Williams Goss) and the organizers (Sloukas and Sergio Rodríguez). It will be necessary to see different abilities to create shots, from technique, athletic superiority or magic.

MVP Vezenkov and Papanikolaou They should take advantage of it, true, but it should be noted how Chus Mateo turned White’s defensive situation around despite the sacrifices.

So, the mastery of the inside game, the duel of the point guard and how Madrid resists that supremacy in positions three and four, seem like the keys to try to predict the development of the game. However, in a final full of experts like this, you never know what can happen. That is the charm of basketball and the Euroleague. It remains to be seen, furthermore, whether the Spanish team will finally be able to break the curse of the semi-final derby, as whenever they beat Barcelona in the semi-final, Madrid lost in the title game.
