This is what we call a no-fault for the moment. After La Tronche-Meylan (LF2) beaten 75-52 last Sunday, this time it was Elfic Friborg who were dominated by Charnay on Wednesday evening in Annemasse. The Pinkies have indeed won 71-50 against the Swiss champion who will play from October 27 the group stage of the Eurocup.
Only 50 points redeemed
Despite a complicated start to the match (15-19, 10th) due to a lack of defensive intensity, Stéphane Leite’s players were able to react to finally collect only 31 points during the next thirty minutes of play. “We always play on alternating current and we have to progress by being constant in our efforts. But I am generally satisfied with our performance, in particular to have once again limited our opponent to only fifty points scored” explained the CBBS coach afterwards. The addition could even have been stronger if the Charnaysiennes had proved to be more effective in front of the basket at the end of the match.
A cohesion internship without Coulibaly
Now it’s time for a cohesion internship for the Pinkies who left the Geneva suburbs to go to La Clusaz. A moment of conviviality in which Kankou Coulibaly will not take part. Indeed, if the Malian had initially declined a selection with her national team to compete in the World Cup in Australia from September 22, the Charnaysian interior will finally join the Mali team on Thursday. There she will find her future team-mate Diana Balaera who has, for her part, followed all the preparation of the Malian team. Deprived of his two African players, Stéphane Leite will therefore have a group of only 8 players for the next preparation matches. Starting next Tuesday for the opposition scheduled for Troyes against Reims (LF2).
