With 2:19 remaining, the Ibaeta team won 59-64 after a triple by Mariam Coulibaly. Shooting from outside is not the Malian’s specialty but his wrist put the game downhill for IDK. However, in that time, IDK Euskotren was only able to score one point and wasted several golden options to win the game.
His rival was getting closer. First with a basket from the ubiquitous Pierre-Louise. Then with a two plus one from Tate that put the equalizer at 64. Andrijana Cvitkovic took advantage of only a free kick with 28 seconds left to give a minimal advantage, 64-65. And in the next attack, the former IDK player hit the winning basket, 66-65.
There were eight seconds left and Azu took out the board. He marked the play and his pupils followed it to the letter. Cvitkovic received with his back four meters from the hoop but was destabilized and the Leganés players jumped on him. Struggle. New ball for Ibaeta but with four seconds to play. Another dead time and new play, this time in the background. The ball reached Cornelius who could not lift it before a sea of arms from the Madrid team and could not even shoot, while the horn sounded in the midst of the hubbub of Leganés.
A Haitian on the track
If anyone was a giant, it was former IDK player Pierre-Louise Vionise. The Haitian was a pain for the Gipuzkoan defense and she finished with a terrifying 31 points and nine rebounds. Her duel with Coulibaly was monumental, 22 points and eight rebounds for the African, although in that final stretch, the Caribbean made two key baskets in the comeback of innova Leganés.
The IDK was never comfortable. He missed Lauren Cox’s contest, who had a flu at home, and who was only based on the inspiration of Coulibaly and Yurena. Great game of the Canary Islands yesterday. However, Harden started well and faded, Cvitkovic scored only two points in the first half, Maria had no clear shots and Adams went unnoticed.
After the 6-9 (min. 6), Leganés with Pierre-Louise took control and scored a maximum of seven, 19-12. IDK reacted little by little with Coulibaly making eight points in the second quarter to turn the light around before going through the locker room, 34-37. Azu Muguruza’s team could not make a partial in favor and although he was leading, he did not open a gap. He entered better in the final quarter and when it seemed that he could take the game with two triples from Coulibaly, those 139 seconds arrived.
