The Châlons-Reims players have succeeded in their mission. In great difficulty in the rankings, they won on the floor of Caen Basket Calvados, despite a big last quarter from the Normans (76-84). The former Ifs coach still keeps his feet on the ground: a big match awaits his team against Nantes Friday December 27, 2024.

Vincent Dumestre: “Caen is a city that stinks of basketball”

“The players showed a lot of character. We included the themes of intensity and defense. The match lost in Rouen had left its mark on our confidence in the game. Over the last ten days, it was important to refocus. The players responded perfectly. Even if we skate in the last quarter, we stay focused and we take it.

It's a bonus away victory, but if we want to improve it, we have to win on Friday against Nantes. But the ingredients will be the same. We have to play in control. We only lost nine balls this evening. We're not experiencing a big tempo so that's good. Not everything was perfect tonight, but in terms of state of mind it was.

This Sports Palace is a magnificent hall. I am not surprised by the quality of the Caen public. It's a city that stinks of basketball. I have kept contacts from my two best professional and personal years in Ifs. It's been ten years since I've been back here. That does something. »
