For this first match of the week, our players narrowly lost to the Merengue (85-96). Time for a little rest before hosting Fenerbahce on Thursday evening (8:30 p.m.).
A defeat of nothing for our Parisians against the White House. In a complicated match without TJ Shorts II, nor Yakuba Ouattara affected by a virus, it is Maodo Lô (30 points) who will take things in hand. Established, the German world champion takes care of everything in the first half under the eyes of Mister V and Sara Balzer. While Tyson Ward and Nadir Hifi find success from afar Collin Malcolm attacks the Madrid defense and will find points in the racket.
The battle on the rebound dictates the rhythm of this meeting to the great pleasure of Denis Brogniart. Taking advantage of Walter Tavares’ 2m20, the Merengue perfectly exploited these second chances and took the lead. But the Prince of Paris quickly heats up to bring us back into contact just before the break (48-52).
Madrid on the rebound
With the numerous absences, the recovery is complicated for our Parisians and logically, the lack of depth is felt. Facundo Campazzo distributes perfectly for both Mario Heznoja and Sergio Llull. But pushed by a burning adidas arena (7,800 fans), Tiago Splitter’s men do not want to break their winning streak at home. On a basket from Nadir at the buzzer, the match is completely restarted before the last 10 minutes (67-70).
Thanks to our good defense and Nadir’s offensive exploits, Paris had a thrilling end to the match against Real Madrid. But always pushed by PARISII, our players never give up. Unfortunately, the climb will be too short. Our Parisians lost (85-96) but have no reason to be ashamed of their performance against the most successful club in Europe. Eyes are already on the Fener reception in 48 hours.
