And two! After Nantes last Friday, it is the turn of Quimper to fall in the Gaston Neveur room of the Stade Rochelais Basket. A victory certainly in difficulty for the maritimes 72-69, thus showing its strength of character.
Once again, Julien Cortey’s men reacted to this game. After a passable first half, the Rochelais woke up when they returned from the locker room to achieve this success in extremis.
Laborious in attack
Start of the match for the less offensive and placed under the sign of success on both sides. It is necessary to wait 2’30 of play to see a first failure in shooting. The tone is set. La Rochelle clearly made a better start to the game, unlike Nantes last Friday. During these first 10 minutes, the two teams gauge each other. And they are worth. 20-22 for Aries. The only black spot for Quimper, the premature loss after 7 minutes 30 of his interior Alexis Wallez with an ankle injury.
Not enough to disorganize the men of Laurent Foirest. In this 2nd quarter, the maritimes let Quimper take off. Success is not there for the men of Julien Cortey who mumble their basketball offensively. If La Rochelle lacks precision under the circle, for their part, the Rams do not wait to convert their ammunition to relegate Rochelais to 11 points. 22-33.
While the Quimpérois were in the collective penalty, La Rochelle did not take advantage of it. Too many extra passes and not enough direct play to try to cause opposing faults. Results, the Stade Rochelais Basket also finds itself with 5 team faults. Sterile at 3 points, the maritimes end this first half at 0% in the outside shoot. The Yellow and Black go to the locker room with an 11-point deficit.
Jet
Back from the break, intensity and application are required. And Jérôme Sanchez unlocks the 3-point counter for the maritimes. We had to wait no less than 22 minutes of play to see a first successful outside basket by Stade Rochelais, but it will be the one and only of this meeting. More precise, the maritimes are catching up on their delay. From 11, they pick up the score. 46 everywhere. Rupella is now more aggressive on defense and converts his offensive ammo. As against Nantes on Friday, the Yellow and Black sound the revolt.
Since the middle of this 3rd quarter, it is the Rochelais who have taken control of the meeting. The address flees the Quimpérois. It’s their turn to lack precision in the painting. And Ivan Vranes is well padlocked. So at 20 units at the break, since halftime, the interior of the Rams has not scored a single point. 57-53 at the start of the last quarter. La Rochelle puts a 24-8 in 10 minutes.
Stade Rochelais manages its advantage on the scoreboard. The locals’ defensive stops even allow them to take a 10-point lead 5 minutes from the buzzer thanks to Ruphin Kayembé. 65-55. Quimper is undisciplined, two unsportsmanlike fouls and a technique. But Laurent Foirest takes out the 3-point artillery with Quentin Ruel who twice cools Gaston Neveur. Visitors return to -5 at the entrance of the money-time. La Rochelle leads by a small point 15 seconds from time, but the ultimate possession is Yellow and Black. The game of fouls and throws then begins. And in this little game, La Rochelle comes out victorious. Final score 72-69.
