• Chronicle.Deck, Thompkins and the competitive wisdom of Real Madrid destroy Valencia

The first two semifinalists are a Canarian team that continues its march towards the podium of the best Spaniards and a Real Madrid in a difficult transition, but with much merit despite its ups and downs because pride and class are still there.

The cyclothymic Real Madrid, with curious lineups due to its long collection of injuries, was once again the one that faced Valencia yesterday.

Two blazing streaks in the first quarter and the third, and to suffer.

It is his fate this season in which

Sergio Llull

becomes the third baseman, the centers are alternately injured and each change of player can mean a radical change in the game, up or down.

But Valencia, another of the traditional greats, should be able to do more against a rival that everyone knows is suffering.

Last night the not very sporty display of flopping of all the brands of an ex,

Klemen Prepelic

, was what attracted the most attention along with the inner efficiency of

Gaby Deck

and

Trey Thompkins

and

Rudy Fernández's

star defense

.

Perhaps the empty courts are allowing the referees to express themselves more freely.

What the refereeing team showed yesterday was, in any case, that they did not pass one to the local team, except for a little push in the last two minutes, with the game decided.

FIBA arbitration is getting more fickle and mannered every day.

On paper, Lenovo Tenerife and San Pablo Burgos were, together with Joventut, the poor relatives of this Cup by history, but the magnificent fourth place in the league table of the Laguneros could not be ignored.

Burgos had just won a minor competition with an impressive name - the FIBA ​​Intercontinental Cup - and they are always a competitive team, but the trip to Buenos Aires seems to have tired their players somewhat.

On the other hand, it is clear that

Txus Vidorreta's

Tenerife

has assembled a squad like never before and that it is at the level of the best, with several class men in all positions.

By making triples in the first half and pressing defensively in the second, the Canaries will have the opportunity tomorrow to show in a semi-final whether they are indeed already in our elite.
