BOulazac did the right thing. The Périgourdins beat the last, Évreux (88-58), Saturday May 3. With a clear margin. Enough to improve the general alarm point. Not much, because Blois clearly beaten Chartres (99-76). At the end of the regular season, in two matches, if Blois and the BBD were still on the lead, this criterion will designate the champion. Blois is +337, the BBD at +293.
After stuck 20 points in the Palois (84-63), Tuesday, April 29, the teammates of Hugo Robineau exploded the Normans. They were serious, that’s all you need to dominate. The BBD took a few minutes to wedge well. At the start, the Normans found space inside and captured the second chances.
They hung on to the Boulazacois, towed by a Hugo Robineau solid and author of the first 10 points of his team, near and far. There, Boulazac tightened in the painting, applied to better control his defensive rebound.
Robineau, 24 points
And that’s it. Gently, Évreux was relegated further and further. Babacar Mbye crushed a big dunk, the first gap was made (19-12, 9e). With in addition to offensive rebounds, the Boulazacois dominated the heads and shoulders of the Bousting people who became clumsy in the face of the Périgord defense. Da Silva attenuated the note a little at the end of the first quarter (25-17), but Évreux was cracked as soon as a 7-0 (34-19, 15e). It was done, we thought and the Boulazacois too. A form of lethargy seized the meeting. Nobody really scored, the misses aligned themselves. If the gap was clear (38-27), fatigue seemed to touch the BBD after the recent fights against Roanne and Pau.
This was confirmed, with in particular a good sequence of passes without anyone taking the shot. Boulazac was pushed to 24 seconds (24e), without it being a kind of torpor. Évreux, by being simple, returned (42-37, 25e).
The BBD was sanctioned with offensive faults, markets and in addition the lost bullets inflated (five in six minutes). The Normans had completely returned in the match (45-43, 27e), enough to annoy the room.
The Palio found a little breath after several unfavorable whistles, then rumbled when Robineau was forced to avoid equalization. The rear went back in hand, spun at Lay Up, then added a throw to its three points (51-44, 28e). The wind turned again, Boulazac returned to 10 points ahead of a rush from Thomas Ville before concluding the third quarter at 56-48.
Évreux was trying to hold but Samuta Avea, behind the arc, gave her team an advance more in line with expectations (64-51, 33e). City, finally, knocked out the competition nearly eight meters.
The Périgourdin compressor roller ended up having its effect. Évreux, cooked by the intensity imposed by the BBD, missed its shots more and more. Thirty points, the addition is beautiful.
