It’s time! Basket Landes begins his championship final this Saturday (3 p.m.) in Tarbes. An opponent that Landaises know well to get used to it often during a season, and to have played there for some of them. This is not the case of Captain Clarince Djaldi-Tabdi, who nevertheless rejoices in the poster: “It will be huge on the atmosphere side! It is already for a simple championship match, so for a final … “
However, the unhappy finalist with the Blue and White Club last year, beaten in two heats by Villeneuve-d’Ascq, warns: “No matter the opponent. The key is us. A group of ten players, most of whom (six) were there last season and who woven, over a rich season, links capable of lifting mountains. “Cap’tain Clarince”, whom his partners like to nickname “Beyoncé”, a model of engagement in the field and big smile in the locker room, accepted with surprise and pleasure to present each of its partners of a word characterizing it best …
Marie Pardon
Number 5, leader … ” YELLOW. The color that represents energy, the sun. Because Marie is very bright, invested, sparkling. And in addition it is its favorite color. »»
Myriam DGGER DJEUDE
Number 9, Ailière … “I could have said versatile, constant … But Myriam is more than that: it is a woman whose intelligence he emanates, who has charisma, presence, beyond basketball. When she is on the prosecution, she brings confidence around her, in defense and in attack, we know that we can count on her. »»
Sixtine Macquet
Number 13, pivot… “100 %. It is the girl who is always invested thoroughly, the teammate who is still there for you. It is very benevolent. And on the basketball, she has progressed a lot this season in her role in the collective: she has much more impact. »»
Luisa Geiselsöder
Number 15, pivot… “Leader. A real one, who knows where she wants to go and how to go about going. This year, she really has a special aura and she represents perfectly, I find, the team’s journey. She is a really great girl. »»
John Ewodo
Number 16, Ailière … “Versatility. It has brought us a lot since the start of the play-offs. Because if we are there today, to play a final, she is there for many: she has imposed herself and has taken her responsibilities when it was necessary. And this versatility is also true in everyday life: it is a person who has a very rich personality, who does lots of different things and has many strings to his bow. »»
Destiny Slocum
Number 24, leader … “Gachette. At 3 points, when it smiles, she is formidable! She has unlocked many situations to us by her shoots. His technical background is super important. In a season, it matters. »»
Louise Bussière
Number 28, rear or wing … ” Atypical. Already, just by his left hand shoot at 3 points. She is very intelligent and brings us skills in various fields: she is able to go take rebounds everywhere, to make interceptions … She is a very beautiful player. »»
Leïla Lacan
Number 32, rear … “A nugget! Because she has talent, she is still very young (she will be 21 years old on June 2, note) and that she really has the soul of a leader. It is very important for the team on both sides of the field. And she is still there in key moments: she has enough experience to take responsibility when you have to go. »»
Kourtney Treffer
Number 42, interior … ” Resilience. She arrived during the season in a group that had been living together for several already, after an injury and a long period of rehabilitation. It was not easy for her but she worked a lot to integrate at all levels. She found good sensations, her potential but also pleasure at the right time. It was a key element during quarters and half and I am sure that it will still be in the final.
