Dijon falls again against Ludwigsburg

Dijon falls back into its ways. Remaining on success against Hapoel Holon and against Galatasaray, the JDA players once again fell against Ludwigsburg in the Top 16 of the Champions League. If the two teams were equal in the first minutes, a 9-0 signed by the Germans allowed them to widen the first significant gap and to conclude the first quarter with a margin of six lengths. Driven by Tremmel Darden (15 points), John Patrick’s players raised their voices in the ten minutes leading up to the break. Indeed, after getting closer to one point, the Dijonnais took a very clear shine to find themselves trailing by thirteen points even before half-time, reached with a margin of eleven lengths in favor of Ludwigsburg.

The JDA bows tonight against the @MHP_GIANTS. Our players did not deserve and fought to try to come back to the score.

See you on Saturday for a gala match against @LDLCASVEL on #BetclicELITE.#MyJDA #Dijon #BasketballCL pic.twitter.com/8EZQAkRNpw

Dijon did not know how to come back to the height

A situation that did not get better for Nenad Markovic’s players when they returned to the court. A series of eight consecutive points allowed the German club to reach a sixteen-point lead. Khadeen Carrington’s teammates (17 points) then tried to react and, thanks to a more successful end of the third quarter, were able to approach the last ten minutes eight points behind. A last quarter which saw the two teams chaining series and the gap fluctuating. Led by thirteen points, the Dijonnais then returned to six lengths before conceding a 10-3 to see the match escape them almost definitively. One last time down to six units, they ended the game 6-0 for Ludwigsburg. The Germans won by twelve lengths (72-84), their second success in three games. The JDA remains in contention for a place in the quarter-finals with a record of two wins for two losses but no longer necessarily has the right to make mistakes.
