In the host team in the semi-final second shot Telenet BC Oostende in Belgium, KK KRKA Novo Mesto in Slovenia.
The success of both teams is not surprising if you've followed the EuroChallenge, but also the broader framework of European basketball.
BC Oostende continues an excellent season for the team to Belgium in the European competitions after Charleroi qualified for the Euroleague Turkish Airlines and presented a very impressive show, including a big victory over Central Real Madrid.
As the second largest club in Belgium, Oostende BC was not far behind, and wrote a great achievement for the club within walking distance of making history.
KRKA wrote one of the best seasons in club history and so is the Final Four of the Adriatic League.
Now each club is very close to signing a new major title in his books and perhaps even in the country.
BC Oostende reached the semi-finals of a European competition just once before, when a double loss to Estudiantes Madrid kept them away from the Korac Cup final in 1999.
KRKA the rules of competition ULEB Cup title early season is back in 2002/03 and has thus lost to a Spanish team.
With a win Friday night, the BC Oostende only the second team from Belgium to reach a European final after Antwerp has the best games of the Korac Cup in 1973 and going all the way, they become the first club to win the Belgian a European title.
KRKA, on the other side could end Olimpija Ljubljana on the Slovenian list of winners, after the latter won the Saporta Cup in 1994.
Long Hard Road
Both parties had the same for the Final Four, but to finish their stories became separate.
KRKA Ostend and won the regular season and the last 16 groups and marched to the quarter-finals with home advantage, but things have changed.
Oostende won the match against Ventspils, but was forced to decide the third game after a double overtime loss on the road.
Krka lost the home court advantage Lukoil Academic in Game 1, but has won two straight wins, including two-point victory resolved.
What makes them special?
If the first semi-final has the two best attacking teams in EuroChallenge, this is a matter of defense.
Both teams have allowed the fewest points all season is KRKA (69.9 ppg) and BC Oostende (71.7), but not more than that.
Krka's 2011 version is a beautiful story of European basketball.
Such success can only be done in a different style of basketball, but European football allows a group of fighters intractable without a remarkable talent on the list to have a good season.
40-year-old coach Aleksandar Dzikic, in his second season with the club, managed to paste together a group of basketball players who play great team defense with a team intense, the kind that makes your opponent to count the minutes ringing.
An American, one in Bosnia, one Serbian and nine rooms are a great success this season in Slovenia.
Only two players in the team's average points in a double-digit - Goran Ikonic and Christopher Booker - but even if they have 13 ppg.
Coach Dzikic six players who score between 7.9 and 12.9 points per game and aggression, which is found in almost all the players, who will take the floor.
It is also the result of soil-sharing Dzikic where the player with the most minutes per game on the floor only to 23.8 mpg and the last player on the list is an average of 11.8 mpg.
Ostend is the exact opposite story.
They have a local coach, not a common sight in the Belgian basketball, as the former national team star Jean-Marc Jaumin, but if you are looking for a player on the Belgian soil, you must be very patient.
Quentin Serrone, and security guard in the next 21 years, is a player list innermost minutes with 12.7 mpg, but it is only ranked 10th in this category.
No less than five Americans, two African, one Serb and one Bosnian spend more time on the ground Serrone, and its workload and the offense is clear.
