Basketball (female league play-off). Basket Landes snatches his ticket for the final

FInale in sight! Basket Landes managed to tame his emotions and reverse the trend to get his ticket for the final of the French championship. A ticket that Landaises, once again heckled by Charnay (56-50), actually always had in his pocket this Sunday afternoon, but for which they had to work, failing to get safe earlier.

Besides, Basket Landes started as usual: led. But this time, the Landaises did not drag on the way to take their destiny in hand. They only spent 4’30 ” to run behind charnaysiennes still as sticky. The difference, among others? Effectiveness from afar, failing on Wednesday during the first leg. Lacan and, above all, Slocum, who alone scored three awarded shots during the first quarter, placed the Landes at the head at the end of the first ten minutes of play (16-8).

Engagement total

The commitment was total, between constant harassment of the ball carrier to take away any lucidity when making her choice and dive of all kinds to recover the slightest possession. The game, it spun from one racket to another and the brand painting remained blocked at 8-6 for almost four intense minutes. Before two slocum missiles interspersed with a very applied two point of forgiveness which put Basket Landes in the nails, at + 5 (13-8, 8’30 ”). He was not going to leave them until the break.

The gap in favor of blue and white would even reach 11 points in the 15th^eafter 5 points in a few seconds of Treffers (28-17). This second quarter, so often complicated in Basket Landes this season, was harsh, hung, often rough on both sides, moderately mastered (and lost 14-17). The success of the shooting, always as precarious: 35 %, a little below that of the Burgundians (39 %). But at the break, the nails were always solidly planted in Mitterrand’s parquet: + 5, right, what it takes to tip the scale on the right side.

Sorry ascending

Above all, physically, if the fight was still as intense as during the first leg in Saône-et-Loire, the Landes showed more breath and percussion than their opponents, handicapped by limited rotations due to a limited workforce with the absences of their two trade leaders, Coralie Chabrier (injured) and Monique Akoa Makani (part in the United States). And they particularly treated their return from the locker room: to the shots of Balogun and Daramy, replied Clarince Djaldi-Tabdi from afar, Geiselsöder and Pardon (37-30, 23^e).

The last two even gave a few additional hammer blows in the rivets (not to say on the Charnaysiennes heads) of a 3-point for the German pivot and two achievements of the native leader in Lyon, in an ascending form and an efficiency found since the start of the play-offs (12 points in total and 2 assists). Treffers, with scoring and defense, finished in disgust Charnay, now 13 points at the start of the last quarter (48-35).

It remained to keep the course without weakening. As a good captain, who bothered Thomas under the circle and then jumped on the ball to recover the in-between, Clarince Djaldi-Tabdi showed the Way illico. Except that, even pushed back behind the Arc des Trois Points, Charnay, with a character, managed to redo part of his delay by Strautmane and Maëva Djaldi-Tabdi (49-43, 34^e). Still sufficient, but not reassuring, especially since the offensive efficiency remained precarious. While Balogun continued his 3 -point show, the end of the game became unbreakable. But Basket Landes was holding up and won … 6 points. The nails were definitely well fixed.
