Complicated end clap for the national 3 of the country of Laval Basket, which concludes its season on a seventh loss in a row. It’s always a shame to finish on a setback because it does not reflect our season at all
admits Jean-François Guilleux, the Lavalloy coach.
The Lavalloises, quickly conducted (4-10), take advantage of the loss of balls of the players of Saint-Pavin to return to the score, then pass in front (16-12). The two teams meet at the elbow after 10 minutes (22-21).
The Mayennaises dig the gap from the start of the second quarter thanks to the external shots of Carla Guilleux and Bruneau (31-25), but fail to keep their advantage at halftime (41-40). We collect 18 points on the offensive rebounds ”, let go of the Mayenne coach.
As in the first quarter, the Sarthoises set out again (48-53), but are again punished by the losses of bullets at the end of the period (57-53). Awkwards, especially on free throws, the players of the PLB, for their part, cannot increase the scoring (62-56) and are exceeded in the last 30 seconds (66-67) before finally bowing (66-71). “We miss baskets that we should not miss. It’s a shame because it was an interesting match as a whole. »»
The Pays de Laval ends the year in fifth place. An end of the season marked by the departure of Elise Deschamps and the judgment of Jean-François Guilleux who led the team for two seasons. “I am satisfied with the work accomplished, you have to know how to stop on a good note.
