After a balanced first half to the advantage of Amiens on their floor, Longueau admits defeat in the NM3 derby.
The first quarter is tight. The two teams go blow for blow. The intensity is worthy of a derby and the two teams therefore pass in turn on the free throw line. After leading the entire quarter, the Amiens see the Longacoissiens pass in front at the end of the first act (20-21). The second quarter smells of powderthe intensity increases again and the races are more and more numerous.
The ASCBB, in place defensively, recovers a lot of balloons and takes the opportunity to take the advantage (31-27). But the visitors don’t give up and manage to stay in touch, in particular thanks to many faults caused. Frédéric Domon’s players will close this half in the best possible way. While they had just scored a three point in the last minute of the second quarter, the Amiens succeeded another award-winning shot and this time with the fault, which allows them to return to the locker room in the lead (47-40).
After the break, the defenses take over the attacks, the two teams have more difficulty scoring and it is the people of Amiens who are doing the best. In effect, ESCLAMS will take a first burst and trails 11 points at the end of the third quarter (59-48). In the last act, Longueau is aggressive on the passing lines and tries to quickly close the gap, making many interceptions. But the Longacoissiens do not manage to return below the bar of 10 points behind. Amiens wins 75-64 in his room the Hotoie full to bursting.
