CArdiacs, abstain. Sensitive ears too, by the way. Saturday evening, in his Mitterrand lair, Basket Landes won his 8e Victory of the championship season, and certainly not the simplest against a team from Charnay Rugueuse and annoying at will. It took two extensions and one Leïla Lacan Size Patron, seconded with a three -point fire destiny, to get the club out of a very bad step. In the end, this success 78-69, acquired by the strength of the wrist, and a foolproof mind.
Eleven minutes and 36 seconds. It's time, out of the 50 minutes that the match between Basket Landes and Charnay will have lasted, that the Landes will have passed. Including ten minutes of extra time. The rest ? Just what it takes to give the final color of a breathtaking evening, trying for the nerves. A few second handles at the start, and this three Destiny Slocum points, the first in a sacred series. And a few more handles at the end of regulation time, just what it took to tear an extension. A completely illusory scenario at the break, after a second calamitous quarter and only 9 points registered.
Far from being killed, the coach of the Burgundians, Stéphane Leite, was a beautiful player. “We came across more skillful players than usual, like Destiny (Slocum) and Mademoiselle Leïla (Lacan) who sanctioned us even in the transitional game. Some people were very good in front and we failed to stop them. We are a team that builds high -level players and in time, we showed heart and commitment and that's what I wanted to see. »»
“Too passive”
From the heart and commitment, these Landes with both faces also displayed it, as the MVP of the meeting, Leïla Lacan, congratulated. Who rang the revolt several times by investigating the points when hers seemed lost. Who above all made it possible to switch his partners to switch before, passing the scoring from 49-53 to 54-53 when it remained barely more than a minute to compete.

With 24 points and 25 evaluation, Leïla Lacan is the MVP of the meeting.
“I am proud that we did not let go, that we went to the end, that we came back in less than 14 it seems to me. Less 15, more precisely (21-36), while this second quarter more than complicated for Landaises was coming to an end. The international rear, author of 24 points (after the 18 against Brno in Euroligue on Wednesday) and 5 interceptions, was then responsible for reducing the gap to 12 units a little, despite a head shock with Monique Makani. And to decipher this first half-time first half-time. “We let ourselves impact, both in attack and in defense. They are athletic at all positions and we were a little too passive. These were the points that we wanted to rectify. »»
-His coach Olivier Constant confirms, and extends. “Charnay has very strong duel players. We really suffered these one against one on targeted duel situations to put us in difficulty. We had to adjust. It's perfect for confidence, it feels good. This remains a tight match, we could also have lost it without there being much to say. What remains interesting for us is that we show courage to tip the meeting on our side, which was not the case on the start of the season: on the outward journey, we had lost any Two points there. »»
You sang froid
And to appreciate: “We showed cold blood while, in terms of basketball, we felt that everyone was a little ocis (sic) at the end. It's complicated to have all your lucidity at these times, you need courage to scratch the balloons you need. And despite everything we put on shots at three very important points, which, with fatigue, are not obvious to put. You have to shoot the players who took their responsibilities with cold blood. »»

All Luisa Geiselsöder's aggressiveness, once again precious in her interventions, with 6 rebounds and 7 assists on Saturday.
Leïla Lacan is indeed not the only one to have acted, and well acted, when it was necessary. Luisa Geiselsöder and Destiny Slocum literally knocked out the “Pinkies” in extra time, during a three -point festival, an exercise in which the American leader was impressive on Saturday: 6, for 22 points in total.
The German, a tight black look, 15 evaluation with 6 rebounds taken (not to say torn off) and 7 distilled assists. And behind, a whole collective hugged the teeth, and tightened the ranks. And while two trips are looming in an exhausting new week: in Mersin, Turkey, for a Euroligue match without stake Tuesday 28, then in Landerneau, in Brittany, Friday 30, for a much more important meeting for the championship. Landes are always sixth, and do not intend to stop there. Charnay must give them the.
