Semi 1: Super Agropal Palencia vs Flexicar Fuenlabrada
They will be the first to take to the court in search of the first ticket to the final and that is why Natxo Lezkano’s men are already perfectly prepared about how they should enter the match. Because the demands of a rival like Flexicar Fuenlabrada will not allow a single moment of doubt in a match in which Iñaki Martín will return to Palencia as coach of the rival team. A match in which the entire Community of Madrid will try to make use of their experience with the help of a leader such as another man from the house, Vitor Benite, who will face his former team as the leader of a team full of virtues. From those that Mateo Díaz will contribute in the direction to those that Benite himself will carry from the perimeter with men like Renfroe or Manchón. All of this is well supported by an inside game in which Iván Aurrecoechea has become the main source of energy for the visitors. And in order to put a stop to it, the Palencia squad will look for the best version of an Alec Wintering who knows very well what it is to reign in this type of event and who arrives at a moment as hot as that of an Ingus Jakovics who launched a whole series in the previous days with his latest MVP. All this to be able to emerge triumphant from an even duel and about which nothing can be taken for granted.

The key: Controlling the rebound. In a high-altitude duel like the one between Súper Agropal Palencia and Flexicar Fuenlabrada, there will be no more important detail than what is put into play above the rings. A rebound that will be fundamental when it comes to being able to win and that has been the philosopher’s stone for both teams in recent weeks. Whoever manages to master it will be a little closer to the final.
The fact: The impulse of your boiler. Super Agropal Palencia will play with a tailwind and that will, without a doubt, be a point in its favor. Because the experienced team of the collegiate team knows very well the importance that the support of a fan who will give their all to the team and who will have to act as a differentiating factor in the hottest moments of the game can have in this type of matches.
Semi 2: Cloud.Gal Ourense vs Movistar Estudiantes
Movistar Estudiantes will once again compete for a cup title and will do so from a Final Four whose first step will not be easy by any means. Because Toni Ten’s team will have as its first rival a Clou.Gal Ourense that represents the hope of a historic square to once again compete for a title for its showcases. A match between two teams willing to impose their law on the court from the management in a duel in which the first anger will be placed on the figure of Jayson Granger who missed the last league game due to injury and who, barring any surprise, will be in the game today. All to be able to impose their style against a Galician team that already visited the Palencia capital last weekend, thus acquiring valuable experience that will be very present today. An afternoon in which the explosiveness of Rafa Lisboa on the perimeter and the forcefulness of Romaro Gill on the perimeter will be fundamental to overcome this first stage before being able to think about the final.
Date and time: Saturday the 24th at 8:00 p.m.

The key: 40 minutes of intense concentration. They should not be carried away either by the euphoria of those partial in favor, or by the harshness of those partial against. Because surely, their duel will not be resolved until the last minutes of the game. Because both teams have shown this year that they are capable of overcoming any adversity, always reaching the final minutes with options. A valuable previous experience that will force them not to relax for a single moment in this first round of the Final Four for both of them.
The data: A new student factor. In the hours before the Final Four, Movistar Estudiantes surprised with a move in their squad and that handicap may already come into play this Saturday. Because the Madrid team arrived yesterday in Palencia with center Petit Niang already in their ranks to experience his first hours with the group. A player still waiting to begin his adaptation process to the team’s game, but who could already have his first playing minutes in this Final Four if the team requires it.
