Character, rise in power and return to the top 4: this is the basket brought by the six consecutive victories to that obtained against Aix-Maurienne (103-100). But good things are cultivated. The defeat in Boulazac on Tuesday evening (84-63), in late match, recalled Fissa. As soon as individualism takes precedence over the collective, the storm rumbles. The grilled joker in Périgord, the recall stitch, was to be followed by an answer on the Denain prosecution, in the running for a play-in accessit.
The match
Bastien Pinault absent, Seydou Ndiaye is inducted in the starting five. With this Elan, we quickly know the content of the evening. Speight’s interception gives reasons for hope (2-3, 1st). Quickly gone.
The attack is wading with two lost consecutive balls. Parmentelot marks before an antisportive from Raharimantoanina on Burden (11-3, 3rd). Thanks to the exterior address of Ledlum and Minor, the fluidity appears (19-14, 7th). Short -lived because the northerners return the second.
The writing advises you
Having entered the game, an active ratton does damage in the racket. Burden adds four throws (31-16, 10th). While Denain shoots 71 %, Elan is distinguished negatively with seven ball losses. Ledlum and Whyte, with a 2+ 1, try to ring the revolt (31-21, 13th). But at Denain, it is a loan for two rendering. They inflict an 11-0. Parmentelot is both marker and distributor (42-21, 15th).
Walter Whyte sentences the Palois boat (42-23, 15th). But the sinking continues. Elan does not hold the pace. Lasserre puts a second bomb behind the arc, Philip and Ratton dominate inside (49-25, 18th). Minor reduces the salty addition of a failed first half (51-32, 19th).
The embrace is not released. Even if Whyte puts her nose at the window with a award-winning shot (60-42, 24th), the gap oscillates around 20 points. Curier then comes out of his box: he puts the last seven points from the 3rd quarter (69-55, 30th). Speight and Ledlum are at the relay (73-60, 32nd). Elan has the ball to go to -10 and establish a doubt in northern minds. Missed. Miyem and Difuidi, behind the arc, annihilate the last Béarnaises wishes (78-60, 34th). Philip and Missonnier exchange awarded successes (87-73, 38th). Denain’s law is still being proof of this season.
Out of the blow, the Palois displayed a past negative pass/bullet ratio (12/14).

The player
The northern interior sector can boast of two double-double players. Essome Miyem put his first shot at the head of the racket, inaugurating with a beautiful evening. In a powerful style, he was a poison, giving second chances to his partners (12 points, 10 rebounds). At the end of the bench, Jordan Ratton did not leave his share in the fight. Navigating between post 4 and 5, the efficiency was high: 13 points and 10 rebounds in 18 minutes!
To the state ‘
25 assists. Denain played a collective partition, helped by an Elan who left too much game in transition. In the role of the conductor, Romain Parmentlot dissected the defense, especially in the first half with nine offerings. He ends the match with 11 assists. Opposite, the Palois display a negative lost pass/bullet ratio (12/14).
Suite
Two defeats in Boulazac and Denain: Nothing infamous even if the content leaves something to be desired. Roanne, who won against Nantes, recovered 4th place in the Palois. ASA, with its success on the Hyères-Toulon prosecution, returns to height. Elan keeps 5th place in the point-awarding with its two victories against the Alsatians. An unstable position since the leader Blois, which aims for the direct climb, comes at the foot of the Pyrenees on Friday evening for a match that will be very expensive. The time to find Constance and Character.
