They did it. The Cholet Basket players brought down the Bressan leader! With 8 commando-style soldiers, including Traoré discovering the division, Régis Boissié's battalion was not playing on equal terms on paper. “ I had confidence in them, but I suspected it was going to be difficult. These boys amaze me, appreciates the CB coach.
With the Valakou-Lefort sniper duo as offensive leaders, his team led the way from the start of the match (26-20, 10'). A buzzer 8 meters from Towo-Nansi, recently named to the Young Star Game, even allowed the Choletais to return to the locker room with a break in advance (44-36, 20').
But the victory came through defense. With Ntantso Djoni as the figurehead, leaving the talented Sifferlin at 4 points, the Maugeois stifled the 4th attack in the championship (64-51, 30'). Yet accustomed to irregularities within a match, Pluvy and company remained focused for 40 minutes. “We had constant determination, which made it possible to thwart this team,” analyzed the coach. A gala performance which even made it possible to heal the point average against a team which had only lost once (80-66).
The Choletais therefore signed a third victory in a row, allowing them to remain on the podium tied for second place. “A dynamic is taking hold, savor Régis Boissié, It’s up to us to surf on it. »
