“I am not disappointed because the opponent is stronger and in his place in the ranking (second). I just have huge regrets because with this combative state of mind, we would not be relegated, “noted the Brest coach, Romain Le Cossec, after a valiant part of his troops, especially during the first-two minutes (63-80).
Deprived of Caro and El Ghorchi but led by the ghost Christopher Jilani (22 points), the locals made a first come back after a 0-15 cashed in three minutes (from 7-7 to 7-22, 8 ‘). They leaned, for this, on a compact defense which contained the visiting intentions, despite the insoluble problem posed by the opposing pivot Morgan Belloir (2,12m). Revenue to three lengths (24-27, 15 ‘), the Brestois then underwent the lightning of their former members Romain Baudy (15 points) and Thibaut Abjean (12 points) who replaced Betton on orbit at the break: 31-42.
A “severe” score
Upon returning from the locker room, the Un-Conre-un de Jilani and Coatannea and the found power of Hugo, covered even more closer to the Finistère who began, however, to have the hood that smoked because of their lack of bench (44-48 then 52-55, 29 ‘). Moreover, the BMB remained stuck at 52 points for more than six minutes and received a new 0-12 at the start of the last quarter. This time, the case was heard (52-69, 35 ‘) and one could point out, in passing, the beautiful sportiness of Morgan Belloir who made a ball in the Brestois unfortunately given to his team by one of the referees. The men of Romain The Cossec logically fell arms in hand: “The final gap is still a little severe. We will now focus on the last two outdoor games by going to look for the best possible results. ”
