Quite a few changes took place in the Madrid “Real” team over the summer.
One of the most important – the arrival of Pedro Martinez. The 65-year-old Spaniard, who coached “Valencia” last season, moved to Madrid, replacing Sergio Scariolo there.
It seems P. Martinez is successfully implementing an attacking basketball style in Madrid as well.
In a friendly match in front of 5,000 fans in Leone on Saturday, the “Real” basketball players crushed Vitoria’s “Baskonia” 121:80.
Already in the first quarter, “Real” scored 46 points, while the Basques scored 26. After two quarters, the Madrid team’s lead was huge – 78:39.
