Basketball – National 3: AC2B successfully exports to Landes

Delicate trip this Saturday to the Landais of Elan Tursan for the men of Benoît Derusseau. Still deprived of Nico Laulan, the players of the CTC AC2B left at 9 have once again taken up the challenge imposed in Chalosse.

But, as expected, nothing was easy against a very playful and formidable team of skill. The start of the game was nevertheless to the advantage of the Lot-et-Garonnais, who with Mangiardi in the racket, Demont and Seremet, in the one-on-one game, took the score and mastered this first quarter (22-23).

The situation is reversed in the second quarter with much more aggressive Landais, Bakowski’s teammates (effective this Saturday evening) suffer from the fast play of the Landais and are failing on the defensive withdrawal. The sanctions fall on the Lot-et-Garonnais. The defense of the visitors is undermined. The comeback of the young Bique stabilized the debates and the visitors cling to return to the score and still be in the game at the break (48-46 in favor of the locals).

The money-time advantage

Back on the floor, the two teams engage in a real duel. Moreover, the start of the third is balanced. The two teams are firmly committed to an attacking game, Bats and Losson make misery at the visiting defense but stay afloat thanks to two award-winning
of Seremet. In the last period, the Landais took a short break but that was without counting on the state of mind of Derusseau’s group once again.

With a royal Remy Demont on shots and finishing, the Lot-et-Garonnais regain the advantage in money-time and show excellent management of the last possessions, with control and finally succeeding in defensive stops who will offer them this great victory in Chalosse.
