Real Madrid-Lenovo Tenerife: demanding game at the WiZink Center
The leaders go in search of another win in league game 24 (12:30pm CET).
Real Madrid welcome Lenovo Tenerife to the WiZink Center with the aim of winning their 21st league game in order to continue defending their lead at the top of LaLiga. Our team face a tough test today against a team which is currently on a winning streak. The madridistas lead the standings with 20 wins in 23 games and they face the sixth-placed team, Lenovo Tenerife, who are on great form with five consecutive victories. In addition, the Tenerife side go into the game with added confidence after reaching the quarter-finals of the Champions League this week.
It will be a clash between two of the best teams in the competition. Real Madrid are the highest rated in PIR with an average of 110.7 compared to 92.5 for Lenovo Tenerife. Also, in attack. Real Madrid score an average of 89.1 points and Tenerife 84.5. The leader will have to pay special attention to our rival's three-point threat (38.2% shooting rate), with great shooters such as Guy, Fitipaldo, Jaime Fernández, Salin, Abromaitis or Doornekamp. Their main references continue to be Huertas and Shermadini.
Maintaining their winning streak
Dominating the defensive rebound and remaining focused in order to commit few turnovers will be two of the keys against Lenovo Tenerife. In the first round match, we won away by 76-82 with a crucial performance from our power forwards Tavares (23 PIR) and Poirier (20). We are eager to extend the winning streak against the islanders at home, where we have beaten them in their last 9 visits since the 2013/14 season.
