After a solid start from Roberto \u00cd\u00f1iguez, the match turned into a constant exchange of shots where the dominance of the local offensive rebound neutralized the good Girona team play. Despite being ten points behind with a few minutes to go, Girona&#8217;s reaction allowed Spar to turn the score around in the last minute, but Romero&#8217;s points and Mariam&#8217;s basket out of time prevented the victory from traveling to Girona. With this result of only one point, the tiebreaker is completely open for the second leg.   <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\ud83d\udd34 Rueda de prensa post Ida 1\/2 LF Endesa vs Spar Girona | Valencia Basket\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/oxSVFVx765Y?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n<p>While Mariam made an effort to impose the Girona rhythm in the match (0-5), Anderson&#8217;s eight points and a triple by Fiebich put the home team ahead 11-0 (11-5). That said, with successful defenses, attacks inside the zone by Jocyte and Klara tied the score at 11 again and Burgos stopped the clash. Fiebich quickly scored a three, but Spar responded with a double through Cornelius and Jocyte (14-18), while an entry by Ainhoa \u200b\u200bclosed the quarter (14-20).  <\/p>\n\n<p>Hillsman and Axelle scored in the first attacks inside the paint and, then, two offensive rebounds by Buenavida put the Valencians only two points behind (20-22). With Valencia on the rise, Ouvi\u00f1a tied the game at 22 and two consecutive baskets by Carrera increased the home team&#8217;s lead (27-22). Girona&#8217;s reaction was not long in coming and, with good defense and good team play, they imposed a 2-10 run to turn the score around (29-32). Awa Fam&#8217;s final intimidation made it 31-32, but the final play designed by Roberto allowed Mariam to score alone under the basket to leave the locker room with an advantage (31-34).   <\/p>\n\n<p>After the change of dressing room, the Valencian defense became stronger, the Taronja taking advantage of the counterattacks to reverse the score (38-36). At this point, the inside play of both teams became the protagonist, placing Mariam in the Spar on top (38-41) and quickly reversing Fam and Carrera (42-41). With exchanges by both teams, the Girona team managed to get back in front thanks to the choral play and the points from the personal line (47-48), but the final points of Fiebich placed a +4 for the locals (52-48).  <\/p>\n\n<p>With 10 minutes to go, a three-pointer by Anderson and a basket by Fiebich set the game&#8217;s high point, forcing Spar to stop the game (57-48). Carol brought the Girona team closer by three points, but the dominance of the offensive rebounding by the orange team gave Carrera a third option (59-51). Carol, with a layup, and Klara, from the free throw line, brought us closer by 6 points (61-55), but baskets by Fiebich and Buenavida stopped the clock again with 3:25 to go (65-55). Girona&#8217;s reaction was immediate: three-pointers by Cornelius and Carol brought the team to just 4 points (65-61), causing Valencia to call a timeout with 1:45 to go. In the midst of the run, a shot by Jocyte and points from Mariam put Spar within just one point and then Cornelius put the Girona team ahead from the free throw line (65-66). A final action by Romero put the home team ahead +1 and, in the last attack, Mariam&#8217;s basket went in out of time, closing the defeat at Roig Arena by the minimum (67-66).     <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spar Girona competed until the last second on the Valencia Basket court in a duel marked by equality (67-66).
