This Sunday on France 3 Regions, ASVEL loses 69 to 71 against Metropolitan 92!
This Sunday ASVEL loses 69 to 71 against the Metropolitans 92 during the 4th round of the long-awaited semi-final! Boulogne-Levallois qualifies for the final. A very nice feat!
A little over a year ago at the Astroballe, after a final match 5 in the final against Monaco, Lyon-Villeurbanne lifted a new trophy of champion of France. The 3rd in a row and the 21st in club history. In this historic hall of French basketball, ASVEL has proven it more than once: Nothing is impossible.
This Friday, however, all the signals seemed unfavorable for the formation of TJ Parker. Nando De Colo, master of the squad was again forfeited (left calf) and Boulogne-Levallois winner of the first two meetings could end the Villeurbannais season in the event of another success. But the awakening of ASVEL will have taken place in front of its public. Back wall, the reigning triple French champions, were able to count on the Obasoha / Bost duo who made the difference in scoring (39 points in total)
If ASVEL wants to snatch a match 5 from Marcel Cerdan, Dee Bost will have to stay on similar offensive standards. The American combo has the keys to this series in the absence of De Colo, and remains the team’s barometer. In addition to a solid attack, Lyon-Villeurbanne found a serious defensive leaving the Metropolitans 92 under 60 points! (59) Which had not happened for more than two years, a factor which could turn out to be crucial.
“We learned a lesson: you have to use it to come back with other intentions on Sunday. Announced Vincent Collet after the meeting on Friday. A defeat, which inevitably left a bitter taste for the Ile-de-France residents who missed a first chance to reach the championship final.
Still in a strong position before a new game at the Astroballe this Sunday, Boulogne-Levallois will have to offer something else in game 4 to exist. Starting with the flagrant lack of energy and investment in the 2nd half, where the Metropolitans 92 only scored 25 points. Wembanyama’s teammates will also have to improve their percentage behind the arc! With 17% 3-point average, it is often far too difficult to win.
For the first time in the Playoffs semi since 2017. Boulogne-Levallois still hopes to participate in the first final in its history. The MVP Wembanyama who disputes his
last games in France before leaving for the NBA, dreams of making this gift to his team. Champion of France 2022 with ASVEL, the alien will have a new chance to put several former teammates on vacation.
ASVEL – Boulogne-Levallois, it’s this Sunday, June 4, live at 3:15 p.m. on France 3 Regions!
