It was at 4:31 p.m. that the kick-off was given by the central referee. From the start of the match, the yellow jerseys of the Warrior team took the lead, both technically and physically. The final drained many N’djamenois.
The match swung in favor of the MAGIC team, practically in the last fifteen seconds because the gap was two points. “Such a close match”, according to the former basketball players sitting in their seats.
For the coach of the winning team, “the basketball game is not played in the first minute, it’s in the last quarter of an hour that everything is played”.
“I was not worried during this match because I knew that fatigue will come and the psychology of the players will take over with everything that I have put in place with my colleague. And now we are the winner tonight, I am happy with my foals”he said.
For the assistant coach of the defeated team, “in a competition, there is always a winner and a loser”.
“I respect the coach and his foals. Our problem is that our players did not respect the instructions given at the last moment. They gave the opponent time to arm shots”he laments.
The show is not over; the N’Djamena city junior basketball championship starts next Sunday. The public is invited to come and support the youngest basketball players of tomorrow.
