With its impressive current streak of 8 consecutive victories in the EuroLeague, the capital club continues to climb the regular season rankings. To soon dominate him? After 12 days, Tiago Splitter and his players find themselves in 2nd place, with the possibility of even being co-leader after the evening of this Friday, November 29, in the event of a misstep by Fenerbahçe against Olimpia Milan.

Paris owes this position of strength to its new victory against Isaïa Cordinier’s Virtus Bologna (81-78) this Thursday, November 28. Despite a scare at the end of the match – “a free warning” for Léopold Cavalière -, the Parisians continue to amass successes. Asked by The Team After the victory against the Italian club, the French team is aware that every victory is worth taking:
“Physically, it can happen but we do everything to prevent it from happening. In this competition, the slogan is: “every point counts”. We’re going to have a busy December, we’re taking everything we can get. »
But like their coach Tiago Splitter, always measured in his words, the Parisians do not want to get carried away by the media hype around them. “We have to keep our feet on the ground, we’ve only been playing for two and a half months”puts Betclic ELITE’s top scorer, Nadir Hifi, into perspective. “The season is still long. » But the Parisian sample, now more than interesting, leads us to believe that the real level in Paris is quite close to what we can currently observe.
