A disappointment: faced with the Lot red lantern who had only two victories to their name, the JAO did not manage to erase their disappointment from last weekend. The Cadurciens who have nothing left to lose, are put in confidence by Oloronais, absent defensively and clumsy, who cash a scathing 18-5 (5th) with in particular 4 award-winning baskets and especially a big offensive activity of their interior captain Prouillac . The blue dead time restores order in the Bearn ranks with a duo F.Goussies / Vragar which brings the JAO to 22-13 (8th) but the untenable Diop from Cadur then puts the cover back to allow his people to take the lead at the first buoy (27-18/10th). The Oloronais finally react, increase the defensive intensity, recover precious balls converted into quick play and thus sign a scathing 15-6 (33-33 / 16th).
We think that the blues have finally entered the match but the time out from Lot stops the bleeding and in the wake of the Prouillac / Donjack duo, the locals take off again thanks to a 16-7 over the last 4 minutes of the first half. -time (49-40).
The return from the locker room saw the JAO raise the tone both defensively and offensively and the Indau Chidjou / F.Goussies duo contributed to the score with an 11-2 (51-51 / 23rd). Once again the Cadurcien dead time stopped the upturn and Diop reassured his people (61-55 / 26th). The Oloronais reacted defensively, signing a few quick play actions with Medenouvo / Y.Goussies on the finish before Delorme finally allowed the blues to go ahead in the score (69-73 / 31st). It takes more to destabilize the locals who sign a new 9-0 (78-73 / 34th) plunging the Béarn camp into full doubt. Indau Chidjou, thanks to a good 3-point series, will keep the Blues afloat (78-76/82-80/87-87).
Unfortunately, everything will be decided on the free-throw line where Diop’s faultless performance allows the Lotois to score a third victory against the Oloronais who now have a week to prepare a revolt before the arrival of Tursan BC in Scoy.
2MBS – Elan Tursan 70-58
Lhe start of the game was marked above all by inaccuracies and stray bullets on both sides. Bouchet scores twice under the circles and thus responds to the Landais Ba / Dufau duo who play in the racket. The visitors then register 3 successive triples which already give them a 10-point lead (9/19 in the 8th). The Béarnais shooters are out of address.
Fortunately two distant baskets from Thibaut Lalaude and Albino at the buzzer allow the locals to come back (15/19 in the 10th). A few risky whistles from the refereeing corps will have the effect of raising the pressure in the room and remobilizing the Soubestre players.
Thibaut Lalaude is on a cloud in attack, Bignes and Bouchet get there at 3 points and the Béarnais take off before the break (40/31). On the restart, the defensive pressure from the locals did not weaken. It’s a tough battle under the hoops and the Landais, well defended, rely on their interior duo to not let themselves get off the hook. But Florent Lalaude below then Bouchet worsen the mark at the end of the 3rd act (59/45 at the 30th). The maximum gap will reach 17 units (68/51 at 25°) and the Béarnais keep control of the match to the delight of their supporters even if they cannot prevent their opponents from reducing the gap in all end of meeting.
