Sixth consecutive final for Altuna III

Jokin Altuna will play his sixth consecutive final of the Cuatro y Medio on November 14 at the Bizkaia fronton. The champion will defend the title against Laso, the new contender, after taking the ticket against Ezkurdia this Sunday at the Ogueta de Vitoria. Amezketa’s was intractable. Again. In decisive matches he always brings out his best version. It is the same as in the three previous games in the quarter-finals, the feelings that he had transmitted would not have been so good. It is true that the Gipuzkoan had gone from less to more, but compared to the Navarrese he touched almost perfection.

Ezkurdia could not with the proposal of his rival. He arrived grown up but the challenge was very great and given the level that the one who wore red exhibited had to surrender to the evidence. Only in the first goals could he present some battle. The rest of the game had to suffer. In excess. The one from Amezketa took him out of the game by lowering the ball, moving him a lot and with speed.

Altuna III’s right wing had a lot of spark. His wall cuts were devastating. If you add to that the fact that he put the ball where he wanted most of the time, his profitability was maximum. The Arbizu did not find the formula to return to the crash. He had almost no chance.

The party responded to expectations in the early stages. Both started very concentrated and at a hellish pace, which gave more merit to the effectiveness shown. Each one took advantage of the slightest concession to finish the goal. The scoreboard registered three draws in the initial goals because nobody forgave anything. The tension was cut in the air.

It was from then on that the Amezketa drew his whip and subdued his rival. He drew deeper and started the recital. He was placed in the center of the court and began to distribute balls with great discretion. By wall, volley to two walls, crossed with the left to the width … Without stopping. So many shorts that they did a lot of damage. Because Ezkurdia was feeling good on her legs but she was not coming.

Farewell to Olaizola II

He fell six in a row in 30 balls. He had the chance to compose himself after landing a good hook, but he couldn’t continue his game. Altuna III did not grant anything. Another shot of four in his favor and the crash was broken (13-4).

The Navarrese took risks. He had no other choice. But Altuna III always found a ball with which to dismantle him and regain the initiative. The breaks requested by his botillero did not work. The colorado was launched. He had taken a lot of running and there was no longer qJokin Altuna celebrates the victory against Ezkurdia that will allow him to play his sixth final of the Four and a Half. ien will stop him. And it remained the same. By now he was grown up because he had verified that almost everything came out, and in a situation like this, Altuna III is too dangerous. Ezkurdia played his last cards, but did not make a trick.

Then came Olaizola II’s farewell to a pediment on which he has also left his mark. Together with Mariezkurrena II he beat (22-20) Jaka and Aranguren. And he left with the sounds of a mariachi and the stands overturned singing to him ‘I’m still the king’.
