Basketball Champions League – Easy winner of Peristeri to start its BCL campaign, Le Mans and its coach Elric Delord are expecting a very different confrontation in Greece.
After its prestigious success against Unicaja Malaga, Le Mans has the opportunity to put itself in a good position for a possible qualification for the top 16 of the Basketball Champions League. To do this, it will be necessary to win on the floor of de Peristeri, who has the same balance sheet as the Sarthois (2 victories – 2 defeats). Easy winner for the Greeks in the first leg (96-68), the Manceau coach Elric Delord However, expect a very different match from the first round.
“They are in much better shape now, because in the first leg, they had just regained the championship, while we had started for some time, warns Elric Delord to Maine Libre. So there was a fairly significant physical difference between us. Tactically, they are also more in place. It’s going to be a complicated duel away from home, especially since it’s true for any team, when you take a volley, you remember it…”
But in the meantime, the Le Mans team has also changed, with the arrival of the leader Trevor Hudgins in place of Nate Mason. For his first European experience, the 24-year-old left-hander is off to a pretty good start with MSB (13.5 points, 2.3 assists and 1.8 turnovers at 44% shooting success in 24 minutes of play). on 4 Betclic ELITE matches). Above all, Le Mans must still gain in consistency throughout a match, as evidenced by the last defeat against Bourg-en-Bresse in the French championship.
“We did a lot of good things in this match, then we have to widen the gap before, but we don’t do it, analyzes the Le Mans technician. We leave Bourg in the match and when they come up at the end, we no longer have a respondent, no more juice…”
This BCL meeting against Peristeri will be a good opportunity for Le Mans to continue working on this recurring defect since the start of the season and which currently prevents MSB from appearing among the top 8 teams in Betclic ELITE (13, 6 wins – 8 losses).
