His return to the WNBA was noticed as excellent, but for the past few weeks, Marine Johannès has been in a little more difficulty with the Liberty. This Wednesday, after the loss against Dallas, she received a big message from her teammate Sabrina Ionescu.
After a thunderous start to the season on the Liberty side, Marine Johannès is going through a slightly more complicated period. Not only does her coach no longer seem to trust her, since she has lost a few precious minutes of playing time, but she is also in a crisis of skill, which is highly handicapping for a whimsical attacker like her.
The All-Star Break therefore arrived at the right time, since she was able to cut and clear her head in Las Vegas with her teammates and friends. She was notably seen with Gabby Williams, the other big absentee from the last Euro with the France team. Let’s hope they will be part of the Olympic adventure in 2024 and that they will be able to help Les Bleues win another beautiful medal.
Marine Johannès finally unblocked mentally?
In short, before projecting themselves on Paris, Marine Johannès and the Liberty were back at the Barclays Center this Wednesday for a duel at the top against Dallas. In the defeat, the tricolor rear has at least found some colors, which is reason for hope for the next meetings. Sabrina Ionescu also wanted to send him a big message at a press conference:

Sabrina Ionescu on Marine Johannès and her three 3-point shots off the bench, after some difficulties lately: “Sometimes you need to see a shot go in. Marine has been good to our team… I can’t wait to see her grow even more. »
Very clumsy before the All-Star Game break, Marine Johannès made an interesting comeback with 9 points at 3/7 behind the arc. Everything is not perfect yet, since she has not recorded the slightest pass or the slightest rebound, but the important thing was elsewhere. The full-back may have freed up mentally when it comes to shooting, which could prove crucial for the end of the season. You only have to see the reaction from the bench to understand how important these shots were for the group.

Sabrina Ionescu knows all about long-range shooting, she who just broke the all-time contest record at 3 points. If she believes that Marine Johannès just needed a basket to regain confidence, we can believe her.
