Euskaraz irakurri: Baskonia titulua lortzeko aukerak dituela itzuli da Kopara

Cazoo Baskonia returns to the Final Phase of the Copa del Rey in Badalonathis time with real options to take the title after being absent in the last edition held in Granada.

If the qualifying rounds had been played in the month of December, there is no doubt that those of Joan Penarroya they could have lifted the title because they played the best basketball in the ACB and the Euroleague, probably.

Although the azulgranas were unable to maintain that high level in January, they have recovered sensations to stalk a title that they have not won since 2009.

The simple fact that Real Madrid and FC Barcelona have fallen on the other side of the table has left the path to the final somewhat smoother for the Basques, with the permission of the host, the youthrival of the first round, and the two Canarian teams.

The fact that the people from Vitoria reach this stage as third place after a single win over the blaugranas and whites does not mean much, but it does indicate that the Buesa Arena team has maintained significant regularity to date.

The suspension of Pierria Henry after doping control It could have been a turning point for Baskonia, who have taken it upon themselves to demonstrate game by game that that episode is already forgotten.

Eight of them will debut for the first time in a Copa del Rey that will once again have the fans from Vitoria as one of the most numerous, as is usual in this event, whether or not the Basque squad qualify.

The fans still have in their retina the cup match of their team in 2019 in which they were precisely eliminated in the quarterfinals by the same rival they are measured in this edition, Joventut, with a stellar Nico Laprovittola. But everything indicates that the script will be different.

The Baskonia arrives with an important internal battery that, however, makes its debut in a competition of this magnitude. Except Dani Diez; Maik Kotsar, Matt Costello, Daulton Hommes and Steven Enoch They will experience a special cup for the first time in which the Catalans start as favorites to be in the final.
