Valencia Basket
En cuanto a la participación de sus clubes en las competiciones europeas se refiere, el baloncesto español afronta una noche grande que espera convertir en histórica. Tres de ellos, el Valencia Basket, el Dreamland Gran Canaria y el Surne Bilbao Basket, se pueden meter este miércoles en sus respectivas finales de la Eurocup y el BAXI Ferrol también tratará de rematar también la gesta que le ha llevado hasta la final de la Eurocup Femenina en su primera participación en torneos continentales.

El Valencia y el Granca buscan una final española en la Eurocup. Los dos disputan este miércoles los terceros partidos de sus eliminatorias. Los taronjas reciben al Hapoel Tel Aviven lo que es una final anticipada (20.30 horas). Será un duelo caliente. Por lo que hay en juego, la clasificación para la final y la posibilidad de pelear por un billete para la próxima edición de la Euroliga. Pero también por lo vivido en el segundo encuentro, disputado en Samokov (Bulgaria), ya que el Hapoel no puede jugar sus partidos como local en Tel Aviv debido a la guerra.
El ambiente allí fue desagradable, pero no voy a incitar al odio contra un equipo de profesionales y compañeros. Apelo a los valores del deporte
Los israelíes ganaron por 96-91 (91-82 en el primer patrtido) y el club taronja presentó una queja ante la Euroliga después de que la expedición recibiera insultos, algunos de carácter racista, e intimidaciones. Por ello, de cara al tercer partido de este miércoles, el Valencia sólo ha proporcionado 50 entradas al Hapoel, el mínimo al que está obligado.
No alimentar la polémica
Pedro Martínez prefiere no alimentar la polémica. “El ambiente fue desagradable, pero no perdimos por eso sino porque jugaron mejor. No voy a incitar al odio contra un equipo de profesionales y compañeros. Apelo a los valores del deporte y a los aficionados del Valencia Basket, que lo que van a hacer, y son famosos por eso, es animar a su equipo, que es lo que necesitamos”.
Homesley celebra su canasta a un segundo para el final.
El Granca, mientras, buscará su pasaporte a la final de la Eurocup en la vida extra que se ganó en el segundo partido de su eliminatoria frente al Bahcesehir, cuando Caleb Homesley anotó un 2+1 en el último instante para vencer por 69-68 (74-66 en el primer duelo en Turquía). Jaka Lakovic cree que la clave es “estar centrados mentalmente, pues estamos en una montaña rusa de emociones”. En la última jornada de la Liga Endesa, los amarillos también ganaron en el último segundo ante el Unicaja. “Tenemos que controlar las emociones, recuperar y creérnoslo”, opina el técnico. La final española está a tiro.
La hazaña del BAXI Ferrol
En categoría femenina, el BAXI Ferrol sueña con proclamarse campeón de la Eurocup, rematando la hazaña que le ha llevado hasta la final en la que es su primera presencia en torneos continentales. Las gallegas visitan al Villeneuve d’Ascq (20.30 horas) con la ambición de levantar el 75-78 por el que perdieron en A Malata en el partido de ida. En la expedición ha viajado Elena Baldonedo, de sólo 15 años. Unos 200 aficionados acompañarán al equipo en una cita histórica. “Esa es ya la mayor victoria”, dice el entrenador Lino López.

También el Surne Bilbao Basket tendrá que remontar si quiere meterse en la final de la Eurocup de la FIBA. Perdió por 77-58 en Dijon, pero en el equipo nadie descarta la gesta pese a las importantes ausencias de los interiores Tryggvi Hlinason y Marvin Jones. “Está claro que se puede ganar por más de 19 puntos”, dice el técnico Jaume Ponsarnau. “Creemos de verdad que podemos”, insiste Melvin Pantzar, referente del cuadro bilbaíno.
Jaume Ponsarnau y Melwin Pantzar se dan la mano tras la rueda de prensa previa al partido ante el JDA.
Este miércoles también arranca la penúltima jornada de la fase regular de la Euroliga, con el Barcelona visitando al Fenerbahce, actual líder de la competición, con dos viejos conocidos: Sarunas Jasikevicius sentado en el banquillo y Nigel Hayes-Davis siendo una de las estrellas en la pista. Los azulgranas, séptimos, siguen en busca de los playoffs de la Euroliga. Los encarrilarían con un triunfo, pero al menos se garantizarían ya el play-in. Ese mismo objetivo persigue el Madrid, octavo, que recibe este jueves al París Basketball. Y el domingo, Clásico liguero en el Palau. Noche grande que se prolongará a toda la semana.

Detroit Lions draft picks, grades: NFL draft order, mock drafts, rumors as Tyleik Williams goes 28th overall
Getty Images The Detroit Lions are no longer the NFL's Cinderella story. Under the fearless direction of head coach Dan Campbell and general manager Brad Holmes, the longtime NFC North afterthought went from scrappy spoiler to conference powerhouse over the last few seasons, complete with a franchise-record 15-2 record and No. 1 playoff seed in 2024. And now, despite an ugly one-and-done exit from their last postseason, the Lions are under pressure to maintain -- no, accelerate -- their ascent after losing two of their top assistants to other jobs. Offensive coordinator Ben Johnson, long heralded as Campbell's right-hand man at the helm of Jared Goff's rejuvenation at quarterback, is still in the division, but now as the head coach of the rival Chicago Bears. Defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn, meanwhile, took his own promotion with the New York Jets, leaving […]
