The match
10e : 18-15. The first quarter just ended and ADA took the lead with its last two possessions. The young Sacha Defoundoux (16 years old) first scored the first winning shot of the game to cheers before Tim Vergiat passed his three shots.
7e : 10-11. As in the championship on January 11, the Blésois come up against the team which has the best defense in the championship. But for now, the Périgourdins are no more skillful than them in attack and are losing a series of balls (already four).
5e : 8-9. It’s still so tight in Blois. The two teams, at 0% at three points, follow each other.
2e : 4-5. It’s going strong. Avea and Mbye (and one) respond to Damase and Morency in the racket
1re. Let’s go to the Jeu de Paume. On the side of the “five”: for Blois, Chambers, Vergiat, Morency, Damase and Alingue; for Boulazac, who is adapting to the absence of their best element Ousman Krubally, Warner, Robineau, Avea, Cavallo and Mbye.
Pre-match
19 h 58. Before the match, at the NR, focus on Antony Montant, David Morabito’s assistant. Upon arriving in Blois and in David Morabito’s staff, the assistant coach gained ground. Between ideas, videos and individual work, the 35-year-old is visibly expanding.
-19 h 55. For information, in the other semi-final, Orléans Loiret Basket won yesterday, Tuesday January 21, on the floor of Roanne (68-82), taking a nice advantage before the return match next week.
19 h 53. Coincidence of the calendar, before meeting Boulazac three times in one month (the two matches of the Leaders Cup semi-final and the return match of the championship on Saturday February 8), the ADA, padlocked by the best defense of the championship, lost against Boulazac the first opposition on January 11 (87-73).
19 h 50. Remember that the Leaders Cup Pro B can give a title in three matches (semi-finals first leg this Wednesday evening then return next Tuesday in Boulazac before the possible final in Caen on February 16). But the matter is not going to be simple. The ADA has completed the first phase at 4e place in the standings at mid-regular season. Which means that the semi-final will be played against Boulazac, the team leading the championship.
19 h 45. Hello everyone and welcome to this live stream to follow the meeting between ADA Blois and Boulazac Basket Dordogne, for the semi-final first leg of Leaders Cup Pro B, at the Jeu de Paume, in Blois. Kick-off at 8 p.m.!
