Following the return semi-finals of LFB taking place this Sunday, we know the poster for the French women’s basketball championship. Leader at the end of the regular season, Villeneuve-d’Ascq will face Basket Landes.
This Sunday in the semi-final return of the French women’s basketball championship, Villeneuve-d’Ascq confirmed the impression left on the first leg. Clearly superior to Lattes-Montpelliers, the Northerners won with a score of 103-67. Combining the two matches, the gap separating the two teams is glaring (198-131). With a double-double, French international Janelle Salaün greatly contributed to this performance (14 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists) in less than twenty minutes on the floor.
The American Ameryst Alston finished as the top scorer (22 points, 1 rebound, 2 assists). In the final, the ESBV will try to regain a crown that has eluded it since 2017 against Basket Landes. Dominated in the first leg by Tarbes (67-62), the Landaises turned the tide (65-54) thanks in particular to the double-double of the German Luisa Geiselsoder (12 points, 10 rebounds, 4 assists) and the good performance of the American Alexis Peterson (17 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists) co-best scorer of the game with Ariégeoise Carla Leite (17 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist).
After claiming the scalp of the title holders, Asvel, in the quarter-final, the 2021 champions will attack the leader of the regular phase of the championship on May 11 and 17 in a two-way match. This season these two teams have already crossed swords four times, twice in the LFB and twice in the Euroleague. The score is parity, the team benefiting from the home advantage has always won.
