In Salies (J. Pavan): BCSS beats ES Gimont Basket 58 to 57 (15-17, 18-19, 9-13, 16-8)
Relaunched after their success in Vacquiers/Bouloc, the girls of Basket Comminges Salies-du-Salat wanted to take advantage of the arrival of a poorly ranked team to rediscover the taste of victory at home. Far from playing their best collective Basketball, the BCSS girls – still very mentally strong – will seek out the resources to win the match with a shot 6”9 from the buzzer…
The BCSS, although showing itself to be dominant in the first minutes of QT3, harvested far too many chances, notably twice on “1 against 0” and remained behind in the score (37-39, 23rd). Gimont on the 4.60 m line patiently builds his mark (39-46.26’…42-49, 30th). The BCSS does not crack, always coming back from -7 or -9 to a small possession gap but the usual speed, the usual collective fluidity, does not happen. A few flashes of attack on drives or mid-distance shots left Salies in the match a few minutes from the end (46-51, 34th). In the following minutes, well positioned in defensive lines and aggressive on carriers, the Commingeoises scratched balls to launch well-negotiated counter-attacks and launched themselves completely again (52-54, 37th). The hold-up will occur in the final seconds on a shot from the board; the Salisiennes then countered their visitors on their last possession forcing them, after timeout, to take an “all out” shot 9 tenths from the buzzer… Without success!
