Not even the most optimistic fans could have imagined something like this. Before the start of the season, there were more doubts than hopes. The club tightened their belt as much as possible, didn’t take on expensive players, and adapted to a new reality. The crisis had it consequences. A change in the presidency, and full support of the coach. A policy of austerity guided the footsteps of the club that also lost Pamesa as its long-time sponsor. At the last minute, a Valencian brand was found that now is the official name of the team: Power Electonics. In that way, they started the season.With great humility but without holding back came the first taste of satisfaction.

The enthusiasm took hold of the public that again could enjoy basketball thanks to the contagious style of a team that gave their most in every game. The agonising victory against Barça in the last minutes thanks to a fantastic triple unleashed the madness. Rafa Martínez’s basket symbolises willpower. Yes we can. Like Obama’s motto, conviction and self-esteem soared. The fans closed ranks around a team that gave them back their faith and let them feel a sense of pride in their colours. The formula is simple and yet infallible: desire, work and sacrifice. The eternal values of sports. The title proves that they have chosen the right path.
