“In 9 or 10 years of coaching, I have rarely experienced a match like this”

His rant on Wednesday in EuroCup did not bear fruit. Saturday evening, Laurent Legname’s JL Bourg lost 71-54 at ESSM Le Portel. After the meeting, the new coach of the Bressane team first apologized, before regretting the offensive performance of his team.

“I would first like to apologize to the partners, supporters and managers of the club for our performance this (Saturday) evening,” he began in Le Progrès. We were indigent in attack. We have not shown the face of a team that has been working for three months. You have to have the lucidity to see it even if I can’t explain it to myself. In 9 or 10 years of coaching, I have rarely experienced a match like this one where I saw nothing in attack. The injuries of CJ (Harris) and Max (Courby) inevitably weigh heavily because they force our exteriors to play a lot and chain matches, but they do not explain everything. We cannot say that the players cheat in defense but in attack, we have a series of bad choices and bad readings. Now we must continue to work and not give up. It’s in difficult times that you see real men. “

JL Bourg, which remains on three defeats in a row, will try to do better this Wednesday in EuroCup on the occasion of its second match of the EuroCup season, on the floor of Cedevita Olimpija Ljubljana.
