Lieu Beaupuy (Collineum Pascal-Laperche). Referees MM. Poullelaouen et Hanou. Hourly This Saturday at 8 p.m.
Lhe shock is major, this Saturday evening (8 p.m.), at the Collineum Pascal-Laperche where the Landais of ESMS come to challenge the men of Gilles Versier and Devan Bailey with the idea well anchored in the body and mind of join them at the command of the hen. The numerous public who will not fail to surround the Bellopodium arena must therefore be delighted to witness one of the most beautiful fights of the season.
ESMS, (Élan Sarraziétois, Souémontain, Montgaillardais) is a stronghold that has become historic for formidable Landes Basketball at home but which is not afraid to compete outside its bases with the best representatives of other regions, the fact is not Besides, not new. For this first part of the season, the men of Chalosse won at Toac (80-94), which constitutes a great performance. They have only lost two matches at JSA Bordeaux, BBM’s latest opponent in the Coupe de France Trophy and themselves beaten by Gilles Versier’s men at home in the championship, a few weeks ago . Rezé also defeated them (99-93) and is ahead of them by a short head in 2e chicken place..
Hugo Pellure: “It’s very good! »
Playmaker and co-captain of BB Marmande, Hugo Pellure pulls no punches in qualifying an opponent he says he fears to the greatest extent: “They surely have the best squad of all the teams in the group, the most complete, the most talented. Their Spanish leader Joffresa is remarkable, as are the ex-professionals Hillote and Lesca, formerly of Pau-Orthez, Boulazac, Chalons and Levallois who returned home last year directly from Tarbes-Lourdes. We will also have to take into account the former interior of the BBM Ditu Mona Samu, whose duel under the circle with Momath Seck who succeeded him promises to be explosive. »
“Along with Toulouse, it is the most oversized team in the group. We’re going to have to play our best basketball.”
“Along with Toulouse, it is the most oversized team in the group,” said Gilles Versier. They have a large workforce with doubled positions, elements with “big CVs” and against such an armada danger will come from everywhere! We will have to play our best basketball to beat them, because for us, the main objective is to remain undefeated in our room. Our team is in good shape, it demonstrated it during the last meetings whether in the Cup or in the championship. »
That said, the BBM also has arguments. He’s not first in the group for nothing! From Loïs Gendrey to Momath Seck via Hugo Pellure and the experienced Vincent Couzigou, without forgetting any of the others, Théo Lhorlie and the latest recruits Rémy Demont, Christopher Ekambi and Olivier Obiejesi, the amalgam of the “alchemist” Gilles Versier has well taken. Emmanuel Monceau is probably the best basketball player to have ever played in the ranks of the BBM, according to several former members of the club. But above all, as Gilles Versier likes to repeat, it is the team’s collectiveness, its self-sacrifice in defense which are its best assets. He needs to pull out all the stops this Saturday evening…
