Stéphane Dao’s men underwent a debacle (87-69) in the Rhône on the parquet floor of the hen. Mike Joseph could not reissue his XXL performance made against Saint-Vallier last week.
The victory against Saint-Vallier on the last day had enabled Tarbes to get out of the water after a ugly series of 3 consecutive defeats.
This trip to the Lyon region, last night, was to be an opportunity for the Bigourdans to capitalize on this success and to consolidate their precious place in the Top 8.
Petrol failure
Unfortunately, Stéphane Dao’s men did everything upside down on the Lyonso parquet floor, a red lantern of this high hen. Mike Joseph who had disgusted Saint-Vallier on Friday (27 points) was completely silenced by the Lyon defense.
Worse, he couldn’t even express his basketball, being quickly put at rest after 3 faults very early in the meeting.
We will also remember these two failed throws blowing by Tidiane Badiane just before half-time or this airball on a completely open shoot by Pierre Hourne Raubet at the end of the 3rd act. The latter will however have been one of the only Haut-Pyrenees to have tried to save the furniture, but his 13 points at the bench exit was not sufficient to reverse the scenario of a meeting quickly written by determined Lyonnais.
Also note the first complicated match of the medical joker, Sidy N’Dir in difficulty with his shoot (0/3).
“Lift your head on Friday”
An evening to forget, therefore, for Stéphane Dao: “We missed everything this evening: envy, address, discipline. We went through this meeting. Tonight, you shouldn’t look for excuses. ”
Now, place at the reception of Orchies, this Friday, for a crucial match against a direct opponent in the top 8 race: “It is absolutely necessary that we raise our heads and that executives take over” warns Dao, still deprived of his Lithuanian offensive weapon, Augustinas Venckus.
