Can the Bressans overthrow Paris Basketball, ultra-dominant during the first round of this first 100% French Eurocup final? Doubt is allowed as the Parisians were dominant on Tuesday. Winners 77 to 64 in their brand new Adidas Arena, they annihilated their opponents to take the advantage in this confrontation which will be played in the best of three matches.
Paris was already favorite before this match 1 and imposed its law thanks to TJ Shorts (15 points), Nadir Hifi (13) and Sebastian Herrera (11). Opposite, Bressan Zaccharie RIsacher, tipped to occupy the top positions in the NBA draft, did what he could to keep his team afloat. Without success. Paris therefore approaches this match 2 with serenity, especially as Tuomas Iisalo’s men remain on 18 consecutive victories and have not lost since January.
But Fred Fauthoux’s men still believe in it, having already beaten Paris Basketball in the championship this season, in Ain (83-81). At home, JL Bourg hopes to be able to apply the same recipe to believe in a decisive match 3. As a reminder, the winner of this final will open the doors to the Euroleague, the premier club competition in Europe.
Match 2 of the Eurocup final between JL Bourg and Paris Basketball will be followed this Friday, April 12 from 7:30 p.m. on Skweek.
