Specially all the things going on off-court: on-stage musical performances, Beyonc\u00e9 sitting in the front row, photographers, agents, business and partying. The Americans can turn a simple game of basketball into a non-stop show which makes the crowd think anything can happen at any moment, particularly when Ricky Rubio gets the ball\u2026<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_613\" style=\"width: 633px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.esmadrid.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/2sergio-llul-real-madrid1.jpg\" ><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-613\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-613\" title=\"Sergio Llul\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.esmadrid.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/2sergio-llul-real-madrid1.jpg\" alt=\"Sergio Llul\" width=\"623\" height=\"356\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.esmadrid.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/2sergio-llul-real-madrid1.jpg 623w, https:\/\/blog.esmadrid.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/2sergio-llul-real-madrid1-300x171.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 623px) 100vw, 623px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-613\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sergio Llul<\/p><\/div>\n<p>In our city, the show happens on court and is provided by the\u00a0<a title=\"Real Madrid\" href=\"http:\/\/www.realmadrid.com\/cs\/Satellite\/en\/1193040472450\/SubhomeEquipo\/Baloncesto.htm\" onclick=\"javascript:_gaq.push(['_trackEvent','outbound-article','http:\/\/www.realmadrid.com']);\" target=\"_blank\">Real Madrid<\/a>\u00a0basketball team.

From the word go, the ball flies around the court from one white shirt to another. I haven&#8217;t had so much fun watching\u00a0basketball\u00a0for a long time as I do now watching this team. The creative play of Sergio, the speed of Llul, the quality of Miroti\u0107, our star player Rudy\u2026 But, above all, the team work. It&#8217;s a team which is always looking to win, whoever they are playing, under the expert coaching of my good friend Pablo Laso.<\/p>\n<p>So I highly recommend that everyone inMadridwho can do so should go along and watch these boys play, it&#8217;s a must-see show.
