Heading to the semifinals beating FC Barcelona! (78-82)
Valencia Basket gains access to the semifinals of the
Copa del Rey by beating FC Barcelona in a tachycardic match that dominated in
the second half and that closed in a tight final. Semifinals on Saturday at
18.30. After four defeats this season
In the first quarter, better staging of Barça, which achieved the first advantages thanks to the triples of Víctpr Claver, 3 followed without fail for 11-2. In the final stretch of the fourth, the appearance of San Emeterio allowed the taronja to get ahead with 18-19.
Already in that first quarter had begun a tremendous partial taronja that would pass the score from 18-12 to 18-32 with a 0-20. The logical reaction of Barça would come from Brandon Davies first and Delaney later, to adjust a match that would go 38-41 for the taronja to rest with a triple Doornekamp.
In the second part, the taronja continue to demonstrate that they were willing to overcome the mental barrier that supposed to have lost 4 times to the same rival. Bojan Dubljevic, with a stellar appearance, and Mike Tobey, with another no less brilliant in the last, led an impeccable collective action to get the pass to the next round. Two free throws from Abalde after a fundamental rebound sealed the match.
