the essentials For the first LFB semi-final match, the Tarbaises won (67-62) at the Quai de l’Adour against Basket Landes after a constant battle. To reach the final, we will have to preserve this advantage on Sunday in Mont-de-Marsan.
As was expected, the first minutes of the match led to a big defensive battle, with maximum pressure from Camille Droguet and her partners. Back to back after five minutes of play (7-5), the Tarbaises will take the lead in the wake of Serena Kessler. Close to the circle, long distance, Bigourdane will put out a performance to score 11 of the first 18 points for the locals (18-9, 8th). After throws and a basket from Leite, François Gomez’s girls widen the gap and lead by a wide margin by 15 points (25-10, 12th).
But that was without counting on the reaction of the Landeses. A reaction driven by the awakening of Alexis Peterson, well muzzled by the TGB defense until then. A first 8-0, then a second 10-2 and finally a 7-0 which gave birth to a 25-2 in total for Basket Landes against the Tarbaises completely without solution in attack and disorganized in defense (27-33, 17th) . A seven-point lead for the “blue and white” reduced to two at half-time thanks to a huge three-point step back from Carla Leite at the half-time buzzer (35-37).
Returning from the locker room, Marie-Paule Foppossi sets the tone with two three-point baskets (43-39, 24th). Back in front, the Tarbaises will go blow for blow with the Landaises. Ewodo first, Kessler then for a three-point lead at the end of the third quarter in favor of TGB (53-50).
In a choppy fourth quarter, the Tarbaises acquired their first success of the season against the Landaises by relying on their defense. Like Carla Leite’s big defense on Peterson 30 seconds from the end of the match. Dominique Malonga on an offensive rebound completed the success of TGB.
