Before the match, the Lyon club had warned that in addition to Julie Allemand, Marine Fauthoux, Juste Jocyte and Gabby Williams, unavailable for the remainder of the season, Marine Johannes, Alice Kunek, and also Endy Miyem and Sandrine Gruda were unfit for this last regular season game. That’s not all ! The Spaniard Laura Quevedo was injured when she hit a rebound in the 7th minute.
Thus stripped down, ASVEL was unable to compete with Charnay (69-85) despite the goodwill and 46 points of the Shyla Heal-Alexia Chery pair.
“We gave everything with our weapons, the kids fought but fate persisted. It’s very hard for everyone. Normally, we should be there to prepare for the playoffs and play for a title. Unfortunately, we have few valid players,” said coach David Gautier, reports Le Progrès.
An ASVEL-Basket Landes match, two Euroleague teams, it’s a final or semi-final poster to say the least. So it will be for a quarter. How many professional players will David Gautier be able to have on hand on Thursday, April 18 for the first leg? In any case, at Basket Landes we remain very cautious.
“Lyon remains Lyon, but whoever the opponent is, we knew it would be complicated. Anyway, if you want to do something, in the end, you have to win,” recalled coach Julie Barennes.
