Eurocup
2011-12
(From 27-09-2011 to 15-04-2012)
COMPETITION SYSTEM
·
26 teams (selected by
invitation from ULEB among its registered members, based on their domestic
and international results over the previous years) are eligible to participate
in the competition. A qualifying round is played first in order to reduce
the number of entrants to 18, to which the 14 losers of the Euroleague
qualifying tournament are added to complete a final pool of 32 teams.
The losers of this preliminary round will access the
Regular Season of FIBA EuroChallenge 2011-12.
·
The 32 teams qualified for the Regular Season are divided into eight groups
of four teams each playing a round-robin. The final standing is based
on individual wins and defeats. In case of a tie between two or more teams
after this group stage, the following criteria is used to decide the final
classification: 1) number of wins in one-to-one games between the teams;
2) basket average between the teams; 3) general basket average within
the group.
·
The group winners and runners-up after the Regular Season
qualify for the Top 16 stage, comprising four groups of four teams each
playing a round-robin.
·
The group winners and runners-up after the Top 16 stage qualify
for a 1/4 Final Playoff (X-pairings, home and away games). · The four winners of the 1/4 Final Playoff qualify for the Final Stage (Final Four), played at a predetermined venue. The winner gets a wild card to participate in Euroleague 2012-13. |

RESUMEN (SUMMARY) En la segunda final hispano-rusa consecutiva de la Eurocopa, el Khimki —un equipo joven con una progresión realmente espectacular en los últimos años— se proclamó campeón tras derrotar a un Valencia Basket que, pese a ir por detrás la mayor parte del encuentro, nunca bajó los brazos y logró forzar un final igualado a falta de dos minutos. En ese tramo final del partido, no obstante, el cuadro ruso supo jugar mejor sus bazas y se alzó con el título ante la alegría desbordante de su afición.
El partido tuvo un comienzo igualado, con ambos equipos aplicados en defensa. El base croata Zoran Planinić marcaba el ritmo en el conjunto ruso, aunque la calidad de Rafa Martínez permitía al Valencia aguantar las acometidas del Khimki. Pese a que el pívot Krešimir Lončar se cargó con dos faltas personales en apenas tres minutos de juego, el entrenador local Rimas Kurtinaitis, en vista de la igualdad que existía en el marcador, se vio obligado a devolverlo a la pista al final del primer cuarto, al que se llegó con mínima ventaja del cuadro local (16-15).
En el segundo cuarto, el talento de Planinić y la superioridad física de Lončar bajo tableros, unidos a la aportación de Fridzon y Nielsen en el poste bajo, permitieron al Khimki lograr su primera ventaja importante (28-19, min. 14). El Valencia, carente de fluidez ofensiva, logró mantenerse en el partido gracias a la solidez de Lishchuk (y su relevo Faverani) en la pintura. Las constantes pérdidas de balón, sin embargo, eran un lastre demasiado pesado para el equipo español, y el Khimki sacó provecho de ello para anotar canastas fáciles al contragolpe y volver a estirar el marcador al final del segundo cuarto (37-30).
Tras el descanso, el Valencia se aplicó con intensidad en la defensa de Planinić, al que por fin pudo frenar, y esto, unido a la ausencia de Lončar (que había cometido su tercera falta personal en el primer minuto del tercer cuarto), hizo que los taronja pudieran imponer su superioridad bajo tableros gracias a la labor infatigable de Lishchuk y el ímpetu de Caner-Medley. Cuando el Valencia logró finalmente darle la vuelta al marcador (43-44, min. 26), Kurtinaitis se vio obligado a devolver a la pista a Lončar. Pese a que el Khimki recuperó la iniciativa, el choque había entrado ya en una nueva fase de igualdad, y al final del tercer cuarto todo quedaba aún por decidir (52-50).
En el último periodo, con Planinić y Lončar de nuevo juntos en pista, el cuadro local aprovechó unos minutos de falta de concentración del Valencia, con nuevas pérdidas de balón, para estirar otra vez el marcador (58-53, min. 33, tras un mate de Monja). En ese momento surgió la figura de Víctor Claver, que provocó dos faltas consecutivas del base croata del Khimki que suponían su eliminación. Un triple de De Colo y dos de Caner-Medley sirvieron para igualar el partido a falta de dos minutos (66-66) y aumentaron la presión sobre un Khimki huérfano sin la dirección inspiradora de Planinić. No obstante, el cuadro ruso supo gestionar mejor que sus rivales el tramo final del partido: un triple de Fridzon, dos robos de balón y cuatro tiros libres encestados por Chris Quinn sirvieron al Khimki para abrir una brecha en el marcador que parecía ya definitiva (73-66 dentro del último minuto). El Valencia, pese a todo, siguió sin bajar los brazos: Caner-Medley anotó dos tiros libres (73-68 a falta de 36 segundos) y a continuación Piétrus robó un balón, pero los árbitros no señalaron lo que parecía una clara falta de Gélabale sobre la penetración a canasta del ala-pívot francés. Ahí perdieron los taronja su última oportunidad de forzar un final igualado, ya que en la siguiente jugada Matt Nielsen certificó la victoria del Khimki con un mate (75-68). |
