Jonathan Jeanne (Poitiers Basket): “We left them too many easy baskets”
The Poitevin interior regretted the failed start of his team, Saturday October 1, 2022. This contributed to the defeat of Poitiers Basket 86 against Chartres (71-80).
Andy Thornton-Jones (Poitiers Basket coach): “Offensively we didn’t have any skill, but that’s because we couldn’t find any good shots. We failed to build our attacks properly. Then it was a vicious circle because when you can’t get into a good attacking rhythm, defensively it becomes more complicated. And when you collect points and it’s hard to score in attack, it’s difficult to find the rhythm and restart the game. Our start to the match was not good, we made the efforts to come back but behind they put some big shots to regain their distance. Mentally it was not easy. It was a difficult evening for us. »
Jonathan Jeanne (inside Poitiers Basket): “We started the match badly, we let them settle in and we paid a heavy price. We had to redouble our efforts to come back but the intensity that we left to the opponents at the start of the match paid off in cash. Inevitably when you play in a room of 4,500 people, there is a positive or negative apprehension. We all wanted to do well, we wanted to start the season well at home but we left them too many easy baskets and we paid dearly for it. ?There is still a lot of work to do. »
Alexis Dargenton (inside Poitiers Basket): “We sinned with our skill at the start of the match and we found ourselves chasing after the score. We missed automatisms, our game was not as fluid as what we showed previously. We were surprised by their intensity and the gap at the start was too big. »
