QT 4 : 82-80 (39′)
It’s still not his cup of tea: 1/2.
QT 4 : 81-80 (39′)
McNeace’s huge volleyball counter!
The American is completely crazy!
QT 4 : 78-80 (37′)
With a shot at the very end of possession.
QT 4 : 76-80 (37′)
Nunge drives the point home with a new award-winning shot!
The end of CB’s 9-game winning streak?
QT 4 : 76-77 (36′)
Smith responds, but Gholston does not give up with a huge 3 points.
It’s a real trigger duel.
QT 4 : 74-72 (34′)
Smith who blows up the Meilleraie.
The Canadian sends a cool-headed arrow to the northern defense.
QT 4 : 71-72 (34′)
McNeace’s tap dance!
Did Lefrançois’ time-out do any good?
QT 4 : 69-70 (33′)
The big big shot from Campbell that feels good!
A 3 point that makes the whole Meilleraie breathe.
QT 4 : 66-70 (32′)
And-one by Digué Diawara.
Cholet is more than waiting and Lefrançois still does not agree to take a time-out.
QT 4 : 66-67 (31′)
Big dunk from Boyer which propels ESSM into the lead.
The Cholet offensive game is very messy.
Fine you QT 3 : 66-65
Everything has to be done again for Cholet.
What had been hanging over the noses of Lefrançois players since half of the second quarter arrived: the much less intense defense than usual did not allow the Maugeois to hold the score calmly. The 3,700 spectators at the Meilleraie will therefore sweat in a money-time which promises to be tense.
QT 3 : 66-61 (29′)
Boyer on the line for Le Portel…
…2/2. The ESSM cannot pass the -5 mark, and CB does not reach the +10 mark.
QT 3 : 66-57 (29′)
Unsportsmanlike foul by Boyer on Wheeler.
…1/2 for an American who always seems to be in trouble.
QT 3 : 65-57 (29′)
9 points for the Canadian. He causes the offensive foul immediately afterwards.
QT 3 : 63-57 (28′)
And Le Portel continues to yo-yo on the scoreboard.
QT 3 : 63-55 (27′)
Anti-sports de McNeace.
February is 1/2 in repair.
QT 3 : 60-50 (25′)
Smith at mid-distance! And CB takes off again.
He’s a machine on this spot.
QT 3 : 58-50 (24′)
Ayayi plays Diawara in the post!
However, it is smaller than the stellist.
QT 3 : 56-48 (23′)
Melvin maintains the gap!
The corner is his garden.
QT 3 : 53-45 (21′)
Vautier to put CB back on track!
Sur a Campbell service.
Half-time: 51-45
Cholet relaxes in defense, the shots no longer come in, so Le Portel returns.
Lefrançois will surely not have a half-time speech that matches the score. Because if Cholet lived through its attack at the start of the match, the Maugeois collective has been slipping for a good five minutes. McNeace (9 points) and Campbell (10 points) dominate the scoring on the CB side, Gholston on the northern side (10 points).
QT 2 : 49-42 (19′)
Le Portel rears its ugly head again.
In a false rhythm, the northerners find their happiness and catch up.
QT 2 : 49-36 (17′)
Melvin’s tap dunk!
The gap stabilizes around +10. Portel straggler match in sight?
QT 2 : 47-33 (16′)
Gholston preferred, probably rightly, to step aside.
QT 2 : 43-28 (14′)
Wheeler’s two lucky points, Campbell’s long shot.
The 3 points from Essos Essis therefore change nothing in the gap. In 13 minutes, all CB players scored.
QT 2 : 40-24 (13′)
He is co-top scorer in Cholet with Campbell (7 points).
QT 2 : 36-23 (12′)
On a well-felt pass from Smith.
Fine you QT 1 : 34-21
The mistakes of last weekend seem to be erased. A well-oiled collective with already 8 markers allows Campbell and his team to be a little more lax in defense. A fantastic shooting success is enabled by this sharp transition game: 13/17.
QT 1 : 34-19 (10′)
Bracq on 2/2! And Diawara slamming a big dunk behind.
Already 34 points for the Lefrançois team!
QT 1 : 27-16 (9′)
Bracq from afar and CB passes the 10 mark.
The little kid looks like a grown-up.
QT 1 : 24-16 (8′)
McNeace’s huge dunk!
The victim’s name is Diawara.
QT 1 : 22-13 (8′)
Ayayi in a mouse hole, and Campbell alone on the counter.
QT 1 : 16-12 (6′)
Smith unlocks his counter!
The Canadian is still on fire! In an action that is nevertheless more than muddled.
QT 1 : 11-10 (6′)
Already the 7th foul in barely 5 minutes. Diked Diawara with a 4/6 on the line.
QT 1 : 10-6 (4′)
Diawara and Février play with the Cholet defense.
And the ESSM is picking up little by little.
QT 1 : 8-3 (3′)
Campbell three-pointer in transition!
On a ball saved from Ayayi.
QT 1 : 5-2 (2′)
Ayayi and Melvin set the entrance sight!
Konaté scored closely on the ESSM side.
20h22
The 5 major Choletais:
Tj Campbell is always there to help. Ayayi, Diawara and Melvin share the wings. Vautier takes care of the dirty work in the painting.
20h21
A meeting which does not seem to attract crowds.
La Meilleraie has rarely seemed so empty this season.
20h17
Fabrice Lefrançois will once again have to do without Ndow.
The Norwegian international still suffers from a small injury to his hand.
20h12
If CB has been stuffing itself with victories since the start of the season, the leaders are preparing to tighten their belts.
20h08
Eric Girard, coach of Cholet between 1992 and 2001 in all categories, recounts his fondest memories of Mauge…
20h05
Hello and welcome to follow CB’s debut for the second phase of the European Cup.
The adversary, however, is not very exotic: it is the Portel vikings who land on the banks of Moine. A meeting that feels like déjà vu, because the two teams met on November 16 at La Meilleraie. Result: victory for Lefrançois’ troop 80-65.
