In addition to the card from David Holston, another player distinguished himself in the Jeep ELITE on Wednesday night. It is Bonzie Colson. The Strasbourg winger accumulated 34 points at 13/15 on shots, 8 rebounds and 4 steals for 44 evaluation (a Jeep ELITE record for a SIG player) in 29 minutes to allow SIG Strasbourg to l ‘win 100 to 81 against the Metropolitans 92. A final performance at home which says a lot about his magnificent season in Alsace. While the club is not sure of being able to host the quarter-final match of the finals, because of the Women’s EuroBasket, its coach Lassi Tuovi hopes that the Rhénus public will be able to benefit one last time from the one who should logically be voted MVP of the season.
“Bonzie… I wish the fans could see him play here one last time,” he told reporters after the match. * For me, Bonzie’s performance isn’t just about his stats line. more important is how he’s been on the pitch, his attitude. But it’s not just tonight. Even when he’s not scoring he has the right attitude on the pitch. He’s smiling, talking and motivating his partners. This is also his talent. This is what makes players, great players. He has determination and necessarily a little ego and self-confidence because he always wants to be at the top, but this determination he lacks. ‘a by having fun playing with others. “
As for the Washington DC native, he doesn’t want to dwell on his performance or individual titles. He wants to continue to advance as a team, while his team has won twice in a row.
“Do I think about the MVP title at the end of the season? … We will see. I am focused on the game. I will continue to play hard, do what I know how to do. I come on the field to doing my best and my teammates are helping me to achieve it. I had a big game, but it is a team victory. You just have to see the pleasure we took again tonight to play all together.
I’m hungry to play, I’m hungry for wins and I can say I’m not the only one. All the guys on this team have that mindset. We have had ups and downs this season, but we continue to move forward. We are hungry and we are ambitious. We want to win every game, regardless of the circumstances or the opponent in front of us. “
Before the final stages, Strasbourg will play on the floor of Champagne Basket on Saturday, Bourg-en-Bresse Monday and then Monaco next Wednesday. A rich program!
