The first act ended with a defeat (83-78), the Landais now know what they have to do, Friday June 2, if they want to find the N1. In Avignon this Saturday, the visitors seemed to have achieved their goal at the end of the third quarter, when Keita, on a 3-point basket, carried the visitors to a 10-point advantage (55-65). Biggest gap of the game.
But the end of the period will show that in basketball, everything can change very quickly. And the DGB, after its defeat in this first quarter, is condemned to win its two home games, Friday, or even next Sunday in case of good weather. In a probable bullfighting atmosphere.
Saturday evening, the Vauclusiens took the best start, and increased their advantage to 7 points on a triple basket from Captain Bourcier, followed by two free throws (21-14, 7th). Dax/Gamarde came back strong just before the first corner by Olivier and Mansaré.
The DGB cracks at the end
The second period confirmed that Erwan Mourier’s proteges, with a well-established and very aggressive defense, could contain the ambitions of the locals. Keita brought his team back, Mansaré gave him the advantage (33-36, 16th). And if Brigewater put the two teams equal, the DGB returned to the locker room after an encouraging quarter.
The third recovery is Landes. By Olivier then Gibey (53-61, 8th), the DGB made the difference while the USAP missed 4 successive free throws. Shortly before entering the final period, Corrreja increased the lead to 10 points.
The Vauclusiens would then “let go of the horses”, be much more active in defense and inspired in attack. The Dax / Gamarde coach took a first time out, then quickly a second. But the dynamic had changed sides. On the yellow and blue side, the bosses Bourcier and Konavanusic took control (80-74, 38th). The DGB will not return and will have to turn the tide at home to evolve into N1 next season.
Reaction
Erwan Mourier (Dax/Gamarde coach): “We played the match we expected. When we manage to lead by 10 points, we have to kill the match and bring the advantage to 12 or 15 points. We didn’t know how to do it. They put big shots and we don’t put them. We know what is left to win both home games. »
