Overwhelming Triumph in the Semifinal
Valencia Basket, in a masterful performance, once again beat Casademont Zaragoza, this time in its own fiefdom. The 80-60 victory sealed their place in the final for the title, where they will face Perfumerías Avenida.
Mastery from the beginning
Despite the absence of Awa Fam and Elena Buenavida, Valencia Basket came out determined to win the semifinal. Alina Iagupova, Queralt Casas and Leti Romero led the attack with accurate three-pointers, forcing the rival coach to call a timeout.
Triple Fest in the Second Quarter
Three-pointers continued to be Valencia Basket’s lethal weapon in the second quarter. Iagupova, Romero and Casas scored from 6.75, extending the lead to 47-32 at halftime. The accuracy from the three-point line reached 52%, demonstrating the team’s great aim.
Sentence in the Second Part
Valencia Basket did not let up in the second half. Ouviña opened with a triple, while Vega Gimeno, in his last game in the LF Endesa, contributed his first points. The defensive intensity and the success in attack sealed the match, putting La Fonteta on their feet.
Tribute to Vega Gimeno
With victory assured, the La Fonteta crowd paid a well-deserved tribute to Vega Gimeno. The player, who has not worn the Valencia Basket shirt, received a standing ovation in recognition of her brilliant sporting career.
Perfumerías Avenida, the Next Challenge
Valencia Basket already knows its rival in the final: Perfumerías Avenida. The Salamanca team, who came back against Girona, will seek to retain the title in a best-of-three series. The home court factor will favor Avenida, but Valencia Basket trusts in its strength and the support of its fans to win the trophy.
