The ADA confirmed its return to form on Sunday December 15 by crushing Hyères-Toulon. After the bad series in the fall, stopped on Tuesday in Roanne, Blois returns to the top 3. A good omen before the trip to Gries on Friday December 20. The next home match will take place on December 27 against Antibes.
Fourth quarter (18-13)
40e (94-60) : It’s over at the Jeu de Paume where the ADA rediscovers the taste of victory, two months after its last success at home against Caen.
38e (89-56) : David Morabito starts to rotate and brings in Bronner-Szulcle and Yimga, impressing the day before with the hopes.
35e (88-52) : There are no more matches in Blois. Hyères-Toulon tries to limit the damage but in vain. The gap remains at 36 points.
32e (83-47) : With Thamba, twice, and Chambers, the ADA does not relax its grip.
Third quarter (26-15)
30e (76-47) : There is hardly any suspense left at the Jeu de Paume where ADA folded the match in this third quarter.
28e (70-40) : The Varois try to break the rhythm of Blés by switching to zone defense. They were immediately punished by a three-pointer from Thomas Hieu-Courtois. This turns into a demonstration.
25e (62-38) : Morency behind the 6.25 m line and Chambers in penetration bring their contribution to the Blesoise demonstration. Will the Varois’ downtime allow them to get back on track?
23e (57-36) : ADA does not weaken and Damase snatches the rebound to give the biggest gap of the match. Hyères-Toulon cannot follow the intensity of Blésoise.
Second quarter (25-16)
20e (50-32) : At the break, the gap is made for the ADA. Skillful, aggressive and united, she shows a face that we haven’t seen in the Jeu de Paume for a long time.
19e (41-30) : A new three-point shot from Timothé Vergiat (3/3) brings the gap to 11 units. Jean-Louis Borg tries to stop the bleeding by taking a time out.
18e (38-30) : Alingue with the smash, on a pass from Chambers, strapped on the finger, raises the Palm game.
15e (32-26) : Siyani Chambers gives his team some air but has to go out, hit on one finger.
13e (27-24): Hyères-Toulon resumes with more aggressiveness like a four out of four free throws. Quentin Losser on the counter-attack brings his team to three points. ADA time out.
First quarter (25-16)
10e (25-16) : A shot at the buzzer from Flo Thamba concludes an almost perfect first quarter for ADA with nearly 69% skill and 9 assists.
8e (21-11) : in a very rhythmic start to the match, the ADA increased its lead on a winning shot from Maxime Sconard and pushed the Var coach to take a first time out.
3e (10-5) : off to the Jeu de Paume and off to a good start. Vergiat at three points, then Morency, Chambers and Damase launch their team.
15 h 55 : The ADA will start the meeting with the following five: Chambers, Vergiat, Damase, Morency, Alingue.
15 h 50 : Except for Lucas Ugolin, still injured, the ADA is complete for this match. Which will not be the case during the next two matches at Gries (20th) and against Antibes (27th) due to the suspensions of Thomas Hieu-Courtois (3 matches) and Maxime Sconard (1 match) following the incidents that occurred at Chartres.
15 h 45. A Var player will not be out of place at the Jeu de Paume this afternoon, Zeke Moore. The American-Trinidadian fullback played for Blésoise at the end of the 2021-2022 season to compensate for Mbaye Ndiaye’s injury. A short but notable stint then he participated in the play-offs and contributed to the rise to Betclic Elite. The player didn’t take long to get his bearings: in 6 games, he is already his team’s top scorer (16.7).
15 h 40. Hello and welcome to our site for the Pro B meeting between ADA Blois and Hyères-Toulon Var Basket, last match of the 16e daytime.
The ADA currently occupies fifth place in the championship and remains on a success in Roanne. A precious victory for the Loir-et-Chériens who were left with four setbacks, including a severe one in Rouen.
For its part, Hyères-Toulon is at 14e place and has just had two successes, against Chartres and at Pau-Orthez.
