The second semifinal of the Endesa Super Cup did not have the equality of the first. The even clash that Salamanca and Girona had offered in the first episode, did not have continuity in the second. From the beginning of the match it was clearly seen that Valencia Basket wanted to solve the crash on the fast track. The greatest potential of the Valencian women was revealed from the first minute, acquiring a clear partial 2-13 in the first seven minutes of the game. Inaccuracies were the predominant trend in the Tenerife women who accumulated many turnovers, perhaps produced by the initial nerves of the semifinal.
The Cristina Ouviña, Laura Gil, Queralt Casas, Raquel Carrera and company imposed their authority in the first quarter, being dominated in an authoritarian way by the Rubén Burgos team until (10-22) with which the first ten were concluded. game minutes.
The beginning of the second act had the same courses. The Tenerife women did not find free shots and despite the slight improvement in offensive productivity, the differences remained between fifteen and twenty income points (14-29) at fifteen minutes into the game. As the duel progressed, Tenerife settled on the scoreboard, beginning to appear more players at the collective level. He even got to seven points (23-30), but an unsportsmanlike including technical foul to Tenerife coach Claudio García, again distanced the taronja (25-37) in the electronic game. Cristina Ouviña once again had the leading role on the field, leading hers to regain an important income that avoided any setback for the favorite team. At rest, (25-37).
At the return of the changing rooms, Valencia Basket traced the beginning of the match. Partial 0-9 that caused Claudio García to request time-out with the rent that Rubén Burgos’ team acquired, (25-46). Ouviña with 12 points up to that moment, led his team to victory, who put in those initial measures the direct one to the grand final. But Tenerife was reluctant to throw in the towel. Led by Gaby Ocete’s 2 + 1, the Tenerife team was (36-49). The public that had come to the lagoon pavilion tried to encourage theirs so that they would not give in in their attempt to come back. Paola Ferrari’s caste on the parquet spread to hers until the end of the third quarter (40-53).
The duel entered the final stretch, the last ten minutes. Led by the Valencian team by Cristina Ouviña’s 13 points and Raquel Carrera’s 10, Gaby Ocete with 11 points and Davis with 10 stood out on the Tenerife side in that scoring facet. Valencia did not want complications and showed their desire to seal the triumph. The unknown was to see by how much difference. A new partial 0-6 of the girls led by Rubén Burgos put the (40-59) in the absence of only 7 minutes for the conclusion. It was about time. The Tenerife women were trying with the arreones of a tired (she played practically the entire game) Gaby Ocete. They even reached seven points (52-59) after a great 12-0 run. The last three minutes were a constant exchange of baskets until reaching the final timeout of the clash with twenty-six seconds to go, (58-64).
