Queens of the Cup Casademont Zaragoza

Banco Zaragozano already has a successor. 23 years after the actions of Karina Rodríguez, Pilar Valero and her team, in the year that the Aragonese player who unfortunately died, was honored, Casademont Zaragoza took the flag to make history and to open the window of the club.

This is the third major title in Aragonese women’s sport won by Banco Zaragozano and the League’s win by CHJaca just a few weeks ago. Women’s sports take over the sporting achievements of the community, making Aragon champions and bringing out all the pride that sometimes lacks in this land. They take the initiative, they are the ones who step in, they play, they are the winners. This Casademont Zaragoza is in love with a whole city that fell at his feet yesterday, because they always compete, they never disappoint.

this title Casademont Zaragoza is a confirmation of an agreed bet. Basketball feminine, but this is not a pinnacle, nor is it the end of the road. This is just the beginning because this club has shown perseverance by renewing the backbone of this team and above all its big star Leo Fiebich. A complete statement of intent for the future, now confirmed by another award. Because the Cup champion has a place in the next Euroleague.

Once again, Casademont succeeded in the enthusiastic game of not giving up, believing and fighting until the end, and once again overcame difficult moments. Gatling was totally addicted for most of the playoff game without Vega Gimeno and star Helena Oma, who was the MVP of the final. And with a hobby, the sixth player. It’s so impossible not to identify with this team, not to love them, that even Mara, Nguirane and Justiz boarded the ship with the Inchas Lleons to cheer on their bass drums.

maximum equality

Equality prevailed from the first episode. That, and the number of fouls the referees decided on offense set the bar very high in a final and contributed somewhat to the fact that there were a few points. Because the percentages were low, because both teams were more comfortable in defense than offense. There were no big advantages, the maximum was three points, and there were many trade-offs between the score and the draw. The first ten minutes ended 12-14.

The civil war was won by Gatling. Adding ten points and seven rebounds in the first half alone, Reisingerova finished with three personal. And when he managed to score that, the North American was signaled for two fouls on offense… The thing is, Casademont Zaragoza had his offensive bonanza with a very secure Gatling there, while Leo couldn’t find the ring outside and Vega had to back out due to fouls. On defense, the Aragonians worked better and in addition, they were very secure in the defensive rebound, preventing the Perfumers from feeling comfortable on offense with a low score ratio that supported their own interests.

The timeout was achieved with a draw at 24, which was indicative of failure, leaving everything open for the second half. Because of course Casademont Zaragoza came out to compete and it didn’t go unnoticed in those first 20 minutes that the Queens of Cups had faced off against the champions of eight of the last eleven titles. It’s true that this is a slightly more down-to-earth Perfumerías Avenida, but the virtue of Cantero’s team was to catch him from the first minute, to compete with him on an equal footing.

Vega’s expulsion

The third quarter brought First moment of challenge for Casademont with Avenida’s first major advantage (25-34) and Vega Gimeno being ejected from an unsportsmanlike and technical attack. Too much punishment for leaving someone like this forever. The captain left the stands crying. However, nothing can intimidate this Casademont, who is locked in the game with three three-pointers in a row and reaching the end with options (37-42).

The last quarter was crazy. After Vilaró’s fifth and all-afternoon appeal, a technique to the guest coach and Casademont’s success reversed the match (44-42, min. 32). The Aragonese were already in champion mode and sped up to take a seven-point lead (49-42) with five minutes to go. It was an Aragonese demonstration of how to play back then, how to keep an advantage, how not to be nervous even though Avenida went two (52-50) with 19 seconds left. Nothing could stop the champions who knew no boundaries, who had written their names in history with golden letters. He is the champion of the Copa de la Reina.
