basket average between the teams; 3) general basket average
within the group.

The top four teams from each group qualify for a 1/16

RESUMEN (SUMMARY) A pesar de jugar “en casa”, el Pamesa Valencia acusó la presión de su primera final europea y acabó sucumbiendo ante el mayor oficio de la Benetton. Los valencianos jugaron acomplejados durante gran parte del partido, y únicamente a falta de ocho minutos, con 18 puntos de desventaja en el marcador (54-36), decidieron soltarse y jugar a su nivel habitual. Fue entonces cuando iniciaron una espectacular remontada que a punto estuvo de darles la victoria, aunque les faltó rematar en los instantes finales. En la Benetton destacaron especialmente el escolta estadounidense Henry Williams (máximo anotador y MVP de la final), el ala-pívot argentino Marcelo Nicola y el base español Tomás Jofresa (dos jugadores estos últimos que habían salido de la Liga ACB por la puerta de atrás). El menor de los Jofresa dio gran fluidez al juego de su equipo cuando entró en pista en sustitución del base titular Bonora.
La Benetton, por experiencia, calidad individual y profundidad de banquillo, era claro favorito en las apuestas previas a la final, y durante los primeros minutos plasmaron esta superioridad sobre el parqué del Príncipe Felipe. El conjunto italiano ahogaba la circulación de balón del Pamesa con una presión en toda la pista sobre el base Nacho Rodilla, y esto hizo que los de Treviso cobraran las primeras diferencias importantes (10-2, min. 6). El juego interior de Hopkins y las faltas del rival permitieron a los valencianos recuperar el terreno perdido (24-19, min. 15), aunque un nuevo estirón de la Benetton, de la mano de Williams y Nicola, hizo que el conjunto italiano se distanciara de nuevo (38-27 al descanso).
En la segunda mitad, Miki Vuković ordenó una defensa mixta sobre Williams, aunque el desacierto en el tiro exterior de los valencianos y el dominio de la zona por parte de Marconato permitió que la Benetton lograra una máxima ventaja de 18 puntos (54-36, min. 32), que a estas alturas del partido parecía ya irrecuperable. Sin embargo, cuando peor pintaban las cosas para el Pamesa, una reacción inesperada del conjunto azulejero —propiciada por una repentina pérdida de concentración de los hombres de Željko Obradović y el dominio del rebote defensivo por parte de Rod Sellers— propició un increíble parcial de 3-20 a favor de los valencianos (57-56 a falta de 2’16’’) y el partido quedó abocado a un final de infarto.
En el último minuto, con mínima ventaja italiana (59-58), el Pamesa dispuso de la posesión de balón tras forzar un mal tiro de Pittis. Rodilla asistió a Hopkins en el poste bajo y el norteamericano se dispuso a jugarse un “uno contra uno” frente a Marcelo Nicola, pero el ala-pívot argentino logró robarle el balón en una jugada que resultó decisiva para la suerte de la final, ya que en el posterior ataque italiano Williams forzó una falta personal y transformó los dos tiros libres para dejar el marcador en 61-58 a falta de 15 segundos. Tras un rapido intercambio de lanzamientos desde la línea de personal entre Maluenda y el propio Williams, la Benetton se encontró de nuevo tres puntos arriba (63-60). A falta de seis segundos, el escolta aragonés del Pamesa dispuso nuevamente de dos tiros libres, y tras errar el primero tuvo que tirar a fallar también el segundo, aunque el rebote fue a parar a manos de Pittis, que selló el resultado definitivo desde la línea de personal tras recibir una nueva falta (64-60). |
