essential
The toros, which remain on two victories, are no longer relegated. Their 8th place is fragile. A success in Boulogne, this evening (8:30 p.m.) at home, would allow them to consolidate it.
> The stadium found its basketball
In the second half last Friday, against Charleville-Mézières, and even more Tuesday in Avignon, where they showed exemplary consistency, it was courageous toros who won. Those who in each of their successes this season had been able to stifle their opponents in defense. The desire, the physical condition necessary to give their basketball the best intensity, are ingredients that the Toulousains currently have. As there is no reason why they forget them in the Boulogne/Sea locker room should pay the price.
Laurent Mopsus, the Toulouse coach, is necessarily delighted to have found his team: “We had, like all the teams, a moment which was difficult, very difficult even. Where I am proud of the players is that we have been able to set up the levers to find our game, already. And that we won the matches with quality. We have created the conditions for the future to be in our hands. And that’s good. It will also go through a real defense, the sharing of bullets. And beyond that, it is a commitment to each other, for the club, to finish strong this season. We made very beautiful games. We were not spared from injuries. I think we will remember the way we are going to end. ”
> The team to unlock
But four days from the end of this group B, which will send the last four teams in NM2, excluding France pole, just like the stadium, Boulogne/Sea, 5th, 34 points, is still not assured of its maintenance. It only has two lengths ahead of the Bretons of Fougères, 10th and first relegation, which are tied with the stadium, 8th, and Charleville, 9th. Suddenly, you have to expect a new harsh fight. The Boulonnais will rarely loosen the defense screw (just like that of the STB, it is one of the best in the hen) and will count on their best offensive assets Nolan Kingue, Victor Diallo, Maydden N’Nah Ndong and Zidane Moore well supplied in balloons by the excellent rebounder that is the old Toulousain Franck Yangue. But beaten in the first leg 72-45, in the absence of Butler and Ouattara, the Toulousains want to take their revenge.
