A Packed Coliseum of Gladiators in the Epic Final Battle for Promotion

Por ·

Four teams, 48 players, three games and 120 minutes of play to determine which team will claim the second promotion spot to the Liga Endesa in a thrilling weekend. A Final Four that begins with host Leyma Coruña seeking a finals berth against Súper Agropal Palencia and Movistar Estudiantes facing Alimerka Oviedo.

All four protagonists of the Final Four will be searching for the coveted promotion spot to the Liga Endesa, but before they can think about Sunday afternoon, each must focus their efforts on two demanding semifinals. Two genuine blockbuster matchups between four truly evenly-matched teams that will raise the level of competition to unexpected heights as they battle for the two tickets to Sunday's championship game.

Host teams in the Final Four have not enjoyed excessive fortune throughout history, which is why Leyma Coruña will attempt to break with this "tradition" in a Final Four they reach after an outstanding season. In their year of return to Primera FEB, Leyma Coruña completed a solid regular season that they built upon with an effective quarterfinal round (3-1) in which they secured their ticket to the promotion battle. A team that Carles Marco has been able to give its own identity on the court with fast and effective play with which to dominate their rivals from both ends of the floor. A dominance they will now try to impose against one of the most demanding rivals in the category, a Súper Agropal Palencia that has only lost one game throughout the entire second half and that demonstrated its strength in a first playoff round that was a complete exercise in concentration and resilience against Flexicar Fuenlabrada. Because of all this, collective work appears to be the most decisive element for a Saturday afternoon in which, without a doubt, the individual standouts from each team will play a key role with one-on-one matchups in the battle between Wintering and Cuevas, with the shootout between Jorgensen and Borg or with the great battle in the paint between Diop and Armus.

All to decide the first ticket to the Final on a Saturday afternoon that will continue with the arrival of the most regular competitor in this competition in recent years. A Movistar Estudiantes team that will try to end five years in Primera FEB by beginning their journey against the debutant team in the promotion battle, an Alimerka Oviedo that arrives at the Coliseum in the best moment of their history and ready to blow up the first of the contests. Because Javi Rodríguez's squad is a fearless team without any complexes and will give everything to beat a rival full of stars. All led by Jayson Granger ready to shed the disappointment from last season as leader of a locker room that arrives with the peace of mind of a job well done and confident in their possibilities. All in hopes of reaching a Final where they can try again and from which they hope to keep out an Oviedo team driven by the Asturian fans.
