We will therefore have this last burning act, this celebration between neighbors who summons both old memories, memorable stories and joyful bell tower quarrels. Last night in Chaban Delmas, Tours made a long, very long path to get there. Beaten Friday evening, in five rounds, in Grenon, passed two points from the match, the TVB had to get up from that.
Yesterday, it was still often put in the strings by a MHSC, capable of instantly to explode a simply phenomenal collective force. Led two rounds to one, behind a third set which seemed to install the Montpellier in the match of the match, carried so high then by their Argentinian tandem, Ezequiel Palacios, (20 pts and 62% of positive receptions) – Tomas Lopez Pascual (16 pts and 74% of positive receptions). Joris Seddik joined her hands (10 pts including 5 counters) and the MHSC had taken the lead.
But now, opposite, it’s TVB. A nonuple champion of France, a bastion, a cathedral which, even when it trembles, never sags. And Tours remained standing. In a season when nothing was given to him, when nothing was really simple, Marcelo Fronckwiak’s troop learned a little more to take, to fight. The entry of Roland Gergye (11 pts) in the heart of the fourth set was precious, the three counters asserted immediately by Guillerme Voss (10 pts including 2 aces and 4 counters) in the money-time of this same set were decisive.
Everything would therefore be played on a final tie-break, the 13th and last set of a fierce and intense series. And once again, the TVB would display a remarkable strength. Gergye posed the block which erased the mini-break of the Héraultais (10-10). Palacios then missed and Alexandre Strehlau (15 pts including 2 counters), 20 -year -old minot, Touraine revelation of the season, signed the winning stop, sending Montpellier and his people in a well -unmolved power. On Saturday, the TVB will play its 15th championship final, the fourth consecutive. In the center of France, neighbors already promises to be beautiful.
