Experience and seniority in classics in the stages of promotion to the elite

Alcobendas, ranked third in the regular season and Celta’s opponent on Saturday, is a veteran side, with the backbone of a squad that has been repeating for many seasons, with a deep bench and plenty of skill.

In addition, Alcobendas has an important outside shot (in which they confirmed 14 three-pointers against Estepona). His game plan is always to set the pace.

CELTIC TOOL

Defensive toughness and competitive gene

ATMOSPHERE

Ship as pressure boiler

On Saturday, the home field factor was felt and Celta is pulling all the strings to repeat at least the atmosphere experienced in the Vigo pavilion with the best entry in many years. The final four is the culmination of a great year, regardless of the outcome, and means the return of the final stage of the senior category to Vigo after many years. Zamora bet a lot on the stage, but the availability of hotel beds was crucial for it to be Navia.
