27 points behind in the 15th minute (18-45). A well-stocked Beaublanc must have wondered what was happening after two big wins for Limoges CSP away from home. On Saturday night, his favorite team were dominated at home. Not against ASVEL, Monaco or even the Metropolitans. No, against Cholet, a team calibrated to play the second part of the table. And if the locals returned to -8 during the second half, they finally lost 91-79. After the meeting, Massimo Cancellieri did not push a rant against his team. He seemed especially to regret the absences of Timothé Crusol (crutch) and Ludovic Beyhurst (ankle).
“Our approach, I have to say, was not perfect. We weren’t ready to start the game in the right way. We didn’t have a good defense or a good attack. We didn’t take advantage of it. our physical advantage because we played with 2 leaders mainly, then with wingers and pivots, so it was not easy for us and our understanding on the ground. played a great defense in the 3rd and 4th quarters, but it wasn’t enough when we were down by 30 points. I knew it was going to happen, it wasn’t easy to avoid. It’s a bad game, and I can’t blame my players, because in the squad configuration, we did better than what the other teams would have done.I’m obviously not happy with the loss, but they did their best , so I do not hold them responsible. We will move forward, wait for a player to come back for the team and become competitive again. “
Limoges have lost 3 of their first 5 matches of the season. With uneven performances, it is difficult to judge the potential of the team this season.
