The Boulangère Wonderligue does not disappoint us for its resumption in 2025. While Bourges defeated Chartres at the last minute this Saturday, many surprises and lovely performances came to liven up this Sunday January 5 of LFB. With in particular the big victories of Flamme Carolos and La Roche Vendée, respectively against Basket Landes and ASVEL feminine.
0.5 seconds on the clock: enough for Noémie Brochant and the Flamme Carolos
With 0.5 seconds on the clock, even under the opponent's basket, it is often difficult to send anything other than a prayer to try to score a basket. But these 500 milliseconds seemed more than enough to the Flamme Carolos winger, Noémie Brochant (13 points at 6/9 on shots). While her team was on the verge of losing on the floor of Basket Landes, still undefeated in the league in Mitterand this season, the former Toulouse player stood out from Leila Lacan (20 points for 26 evaluation) to enter a pass from Coline Franchelin and score with the board the victory basket for Charleville-Mézières (63-64).
After leading by 13 points at the start of the 4th quarter (53-40), Basket Landes lost ground on the leading pack. Not necessarily the best way to prepare for a big meeting in the EuroLeague, against Mersin of Marine Johannès, Iliana Rupert and Marine Fauthoux.
Villeneuve d'Ascq and UFAB get off to a good start in 2025
The operation is also bad for the women's ASVEL, which brings up the rear of the soft stomach with a 2nd defeat in the last 3 matches in LBWL. Traveling to La Roche Vendée, the Lyon club also let the victory slip away at the very end of the match, on a basket from the captain Sarah Ousfar (14 points and 11 rebounds) as well as a free throw of Brooke McCarty-Williams (13 points and 9 assists for 3 lost balls). To achieve this great feat, the Vendée club was also able to contain the best Rhone player, Dominique Malonga (14 points at 5/14 on shots).
In other results this Sunday, Villeneuve d'Ascq took a significant success in its quest to climb the rankings against Landerneau (81-65). His new recruit Kadiatou Sissoko – The Best Of Kadiatou Sissoko blended in well with the team, finishing his first in the northern jersey with 10 points at 5/6 on shots. The UFAB also relaunched in Tarbes (51-63), thanks in particular to the return of its best player Joy Adams (17 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists.
This 12th day of La Boulangère Wonderligue ends this Sunday January 5 with the meeting between Lattes-Montpellier and Charnay.
