85 – 85
WOW WHAT A PASS on a quick play from Nikolic for Williams, which ends well! 1’35 to play AND GAUDOUX’S COUNTER!
85 – 83
2/3, 2’08 to play
85 – 81
The ball is starting to circulate well again. Finds Harper at 3 points. Blocked but foul, 3 shots to follow. And 5th foul from Traoré. Be careful, this could be a turning point… 2’08 to play
85 – 81
1/2, 2’36 to play
85 – 80
Kelly widens the gap… Chalon still hasn’t scored… And Nikolic causes the foul and goes to the line, 2’36 to play
83 – 80
It’s getting crazy here! With Harper, Gaudoux then Williams missing shots, too bad! 2’58 to play
82 – 80
Short on the floor, Gaudoux. And Williams who catches Traoré, Elan ball… and missed shot from far away for Harper. 4’11 to play
82 – 80
It starts with two throws for Traoré, 41
80 – 80
But how does Brown find himself all alone at 3 points there???! The American scores at 3 points. Then Nikolic misses from afar, Baptiste rebound, two throws to equalize in the din… 2/2! 80-80, overtime!
77 – 78
AND SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT?!!! What a horror this team haha Williams defending on Barbitch. Before being found in the corner by Nikolic… BINGO, and CHALON BACK IN FRONT!! 31”6 to play, time-out Blois, the last
77 – 75
He wants to play the next one, obviously. Lack ! 1’00!
77 – 75
ugh HARPER HAS 3 POINTS at the end of possession! 1’30 to play
77 – 72
Ah Harper, greedy on fast play. And Brown puts in 3 points in a standing Jeu de Paume! 1’59 to play, Elan timeout
74 – 72
Brown’s floater, not straight. Gaudoux? Caught in the air! 2’24 to play…
74 – 72
Harper on the rebound. He goes all the way up the field, without putting more rhythm than that. Good. Well he goes for the lay up, there he is at 27 points. Time-out Blois, 3’04 to play. There is one timeout left for the locals, 2 in Chalon
74 – 70
Ah Gaudoux who loses the ball… then counters well! He serves Baptiste on the next attack, who is countered in turn! And Nikolic who is looking for it but it is stolen! 3’15 to play
72 – 70
12-2 the score of the fourth. Both teams are in the penalty box, which promises an interminable end to the match… 4’49 to play
72 – 70
5’38, tap from a Kde Traoré who unlocks the Blois counter… AND NIKOLIC IN AT 3 POINTS! 35
70 – 67
Blois has been silent since 4’09 in this 4th quarter, we prefer that!!
70 – 67
AND GAUDOUX ON THE DUNK!! 9-0
70 – 65
7-0 Elan, Blois did not score in 3’37, Hieu-COurtois has just scored a 3-point submarine!
70 – 65
But Harper is well trapped, sets foot outside, 34
70 – 65
Yes, the same!! Nikolic, Gaudoux, who this time finds a Mikesell that cuts!! IN and good defense on the other side! 34
70 – 63
YES THE FORCED PASSAGE OF Mikesell, well there you go, all the same!! 23 Blois already in the penalty…
70 – 63
Not happy with his implementation, Nikolic. He ended up finding Gaudoux with his back to the circle. Who throws a laser pass to Mikesell, opposite. Inside at 3 points. Time-out Blois, 7’40 to play
70 – 60
Thank you Blois, who stupidly loses a ball. Harper looks for foul, doesn’t get it. Airball, 32
70 – 58
Harper, in the floater. The American is afloat with his 23 points. No other Chalonnais is above 10 units. +12 Blois after 30 minutes
69 – 56
Ok, Blois which offers an area. But that’s not the problem for the Chalonnais. A bit of fast play, a bit chaotic in fact. But Harper finds Mikesell for the and one… missed, 30
67 – 54
Dessert which picks Gaudoux in the air, but still balloons for Elan. Good Williams who finds Cortale inside, 29
65 – 52
Ah better that. The ball comes back to life in attack. And touches Harper in the corner, inside at 3 points, 28
65 – 49
Come on, here’s one who’s fighting. Eïto will look for the fault and throws, on the rope. He ends up on the ground, feet in the air. 1/2, 27th minute of play
65 – 48
+17 Blois, we’re going to be there at the average point… Blois is camped on the throwing line, obviously… 27
63 – 47
Two new shots and timeout Savo Vucevic, 5’13 to play. Naughty naughty naughty this match
61 – 47
When it doesn’t work… Gaudoux up close, Cortale the tap, but he went into the circle… Refused, 25
61 – 47
Chalon already in the penalty, 6’26 to play. 1 collective fault on the Blois side. 2/2 Carberry, 24
59 – 47
The problem, like against Nanterre, is that we continue to take points on the Elan side… Baptiste, failed floater, 24
57 – 47
WOW THE SCOTCH from Traoré on Baptiste, who was going up for the dunk. But Gaudoux is there picking up crumbs… 23
57 – 45
Another Harper/Eïto disagreement and Carberry goes to the circle, path wide open. A sketch. Wesson will cut the little one, 4th foul. 1/2 for Carberry, 23
56 – 45
Harper who enjoys his turn in the racket, quiet lay up. And one… inside, 23
56 – 42
Wow Nikolic, that’s awkward one on one, seriously. He gives the and one to Barbitch and leaves, Eïto arrives… 23
53 – 42
Come on, Harper in the corner… 22
53 – 39
Ah Gaudoux, missed the little hook under the circle. And Kelly adds a layer. Be careful Elk though. Victory of 18 in the first leg, we are already at -14… 22
50 – 39
Carberry who starts the second as he started the first: three-point shot, open. And offensive foul from Wesson, the 3rd. Ugh, 21st minute of play
47 – 39
Here we go again !
The 13/18 inside Blois is bad in terms of stats… GO CHALONNAIS, you can do much better, we know it! Return of the game in 8 minutes!
Those from Blois: Vergiat 0, Barbitch 6, Kanter 3, Dessert 7, Brown 14, Kelly 0, Carberry 9, Hieu-Courtois 0, Traoré 8, Sconard 0.
The Elan markers: Missonnier 0, Williams 7, Nikolic 7, Cortale 2, Eïto 3, Gaudoux 4, Harper 12, Mikesell 2, Wesson 0, Baptiste 2.
Not brilliant on both ends of the pitch, Elan. Frankly, by defending a bit better, it can happen, without disrespecting Blois, who is playing his match…
47 – 39
Come on, 47-39 at the break. The Elan owes us a revenge in second. The Chalonnais are very soft at the moment.
47 – 37
47 points conceded, and the first half is not over… It sucks in a match like this anyway…
47 – 37
Nikolic who will look for the fault and throws on the rise of the ball. 6 seconds left, Blois timeout
47 – 37
It communicates in defense, or rather it talks between Harper and Cortale to resolve what is wrong. And Nikolic who passes, makes a mistake… And one for Carberry… 20
44 – 37
Mikesell, missed with the board. Behind, Nikolic stops the rapid play, the first team fault for Chalonnais in the quarter. 20
44 – 37
Defensively, it’s complicated ugh. Brown wide open 3-pointer on a simple pass. The American doesn’t need to be asked: here he is at 14 points, 19th minute
41 – 37
BEFORE MAKING A THREE POINT on the following ball, 7-0 Chalon and time-out Blois, 1’37 to play in this first half
41 – 34
And yet, there is room! Gaudoux, back to the circle. Harper cuts quietly and finishes with a left hand, 18
41 – 32
And the interception! Barbitch who short-circuits the Harper/Eïto transmission. Baptiste who drops the ball on a dunk, opposite Barbitch goes for the dunk. Another one for the ADA! End of series with Harper, up close, 18 Not focused Elan this evening
37 – 30
Airball from Eïto at 3 points, who takes a small bronca. And it really doesn’t defend there, between the boulevards in the racket and this 3 point from Carberry, who shoots quietly… 3’36 to play, Elan timeout
34 – 30
Return of Gaudoux and his two mistakes, to be continued… 16
32 – 30
And Eïto coming out of his box, YES! 3 points! 16
32 – 27
Oh Williams. Completely free 3-pointer, missed, 15
30 – 27
Great 3-way game Nikolic/Cortale/Baptiste, with the latter ending in a dunk. And interception then loss of ball from Eïto! Dunk from Traoré, we like less, it warms up the room… ET AND ONE WILLIAMS who took the baseline well. Bowl on the throw, 15
28 – 23
That lets both sides play… But Eïto ends up causing Sconard to make a mistake, 14
28 – 23
Ah Nikolic, still open from afar, missed. Opposite, Brown has time to receive the ball in two steps and put it in… 13
25 – 21
Nikolic open, 3 points, racket head. Well taken. Inside, nickel. But Dessert continues to bounce off in the face! 12
20 – 18
Yes the boulevard for Cortale after the screen, well found by Nikolic, easy, 11
Already 8 three-point shots taken, out of 19 in total for the Chalonnais.
20 – 16
Ah Cortale missing the Mikesell cut there! And who misses the shot in stride. 20-16 at the end of the first quarter
20 – 16
Off-road pressure from Blois. Eïto ends up crossing the line, sinks into the paint and finds Williams long distance. Wide-open. Filoche, 10
20 – 13
The last two shots from Elan were not great, a little out of rhythm with Mikesell then Williams. The two to three points, obviously. Opposite, Dessert continues, this time on a somewhat lucky alley-oop, which ricochets and re-enters. 1’10 to play, Elan timeout
17 – 13
Dessert is doing a little work in the Chalonnaise snowshoe there. First a power move on Baptiste, then a big rebound off and a foul caused by the same Baptiste, 9
14 – 13
Complicated Mikesell on Hieu-Courtois, but he works well at mid-distance on the American, 8
10 – 11
Further complicated this shot on the Blois side, Barbitch. And 2nd fault from Gaudoux, who arrived like a train in attack. Arrivals of Baptiste and Eïto on the floor, 7
10 – 11
Well Gaudoux, who sees Barbitch on him and plays him, here is the ELAN in front! 7
10 – 9
That’s good, Blois takes complicated shots. Harper with his back to the circle, on one foot, missed. 6th minute of play
10 – 9
The little floater on the Harper tile, not easy, 6
10 – 7
Kanter who forces two 3-point baskets, we take. We like this pass in Harper’s stands a lot less for Mikesell, 5
8 – 7
Come on, Nikolic is getting closer, it’s better, little lay up, 4
8 – 5
Come on, Nikolic who finds Harper in the corner on transition: bingo, 3
8 – 2
It purrs, the Elk. First two shots taken from afar, by Wesson then Nikolic. Fortunately Gaudoux is there on the rebound… and 2nd foul for Wesson after 2’09 of play!
3 – 0
Not great at the start of the match. Carberry wide open 3-pointer: in. And Wesson who makes an offensive foul, 1
0 – 0
Let’s go !
The players are in the center of the field, LNB music… We’ll be able to go!
Note that at half-time, in the other basketball match of the 71 this evening, Charnay is trailing 29-25 to Montpellier in the quarter-final second leg of the Women’s League. As a reminder, the Pinkies lost 77-62 in the first leg last Friday.
Note that the teams are complete, on both sides. With Akram Naji on the scoresheet. The leader scored 19 points with the hopes in the preamble, hopes which lost 91 to 78.
A little clapping to start, why not. It’s not yet on fire here, 5 minutes from kick-off. It’s settling in nicely…
Note on the Blois side that Mickaël Hay, former player and coach of Elan, was dismissed in mid-February in favor of his assistant, David Morabito. Hay had been on the Blesois bench for 10 years.
The 5 of Blois: Barbitch, Carberry, Traoré, Kelly, Kanter.
Full house here, around 2,700 spectators.
Classic for Elan in recent days.
Le 5 de l’Elan : Nikolic, Harper, Mikesell, Gaudoux, Wesson.
Presentation of the upcoming teams…
And Blois, penultimate, wants to win to maintain the suspense. The ADA is not yet doomed…
Fairly simple issue for Elan this evening. Victory = maintenance.
We are at the Jeu de Paume, the venue in Blois. A match which is unfortunately not broadcast on Skweek for reasons that we know… But that’s good, we’re here to make you experience it all as close as possible to the floor.
Good evening everyone, welcome to Blois!
