Qwhat a feat! The CTC Grand Dax-Adour Dax created the sensation of these round of 16 of the Christiane-Carrère Cup, this Friday evening, by dismissing the Espoirs de Basket Landes in its Palais des sports de Candresse (69-57). The leaders of Regional 1, still undefeated, defied the predictions to bring down the young Landeses, residents of N2, and also undefeated leaders of their group. Revenge is taken after last year’s disappointment in the quarter-final.
“I am extremely proud of them, since since the draw, I have spent my time telling them that it was possible, that they had to believe in it and hang on. They showed incredible heart,” relishes Jean-Baptiste Oyhanondo, the coach of the CTC – and the men’s ADB, beaten at home by the ASCH. The Adébistes particularly built their success in the second half, during which they showed “real tactical quality” by demonstrating “mastery”. But when you beat a favorite for the title, can you get carried away and even higher? “We stay in our place,” procrastinates the technician, who “hopes to still have a slightly more lenient draw” in the round of 16. It just goes to show that this Landes “World Cup” always has an element of magic.

The ABC advances to the round of 16
Unlike the Landes Espoirs, the other resident of NF2 and title holder did not miss his entry into the running: Avenir Basket Chalosse qualified for the round of 16, this Friday evening in Lesperon, against Basket Côte Atlantic (64-71). Emmanuel Couralet’s players struggled to overcome the 21-point gap against the undefeated leader of Regional 2. But they provided the essentials and remain more than ever favorites to achieve the double.
“At some point you have to score! »
What if logic had been respected this Friday? Last season, Grand Dax-ADB defeated Espoirs de Basket Landes. This time, the Grand Dacquoises certainly folded, but never broke to, in the end, dominate the lost Hopes on the floor. However, Vincent Joly’s players started this meeting well, relying on Zoé Uriarte. With a “made in Coupe des Landes” penalty of 14 points, the Espoirs were patient and even regularly went after 24 seconds.
At the end of the first two quarters, Théa Héléno’s teammates came back to the level of the R1 residents (28-28, 19th) who, however, did not give up (34-30, 20th). “We have every possible position to score. We put all the systems in place but, at one point, we have to score,” noted, disappointed, their coach Vincent Joly. Indeed, his young players missed too many baskets. “I don’t know how many. But at least thirty points,” continued the Landes coach. Deprived of Camille Chemin (ankle), the Espoirs lost the thread: semi-finalists last year and serious candidates for the Christiane-Carrère trophy, they went out in the first round against deserving Grand Dacquoises.
