After returning from the break, the BLMA travels to Angers this Sunday (3:30 p.m.), hoping to achieve victory after returning from the international break.
Traveling this Sunday to Angers (3:30 p.m.), the BLMA will want to move forward after the international break and the defeat in the championship at Basket Landes (85-70) before this one.
Amputee of Marième Badiane until January, the BLMA and its coach took advantage of this break to recruit a medical joker in the person of the American Kenisha Bell. Briefly spent by the Minnesota Lynx in the WNBA, the 27-year-old player will mainly play as a playmaker, alongside Romane Berniès. A choice which can be explained by the short duration of the joker (one month) and a tight budget, “a playmaker costs less than a pivot” explains the Gazelles coach, Valéry Demory.
An argument supported by the fact that Romane Berniès was the only training leader in the squad since the start of the season. The American will be available and in the group this Sunday in Angers.
“You never know what to expect”
Once again a “pivotal” match for Lattes-Montpellier. Intractable at home, the BLMA is on alternating current away (victory at Saint-Amand, defeats at Villeneuve d’Ascq and Basket Landes), a match which could therefore allow them to see where the team really stands against a team, 9th in the ranking with two wins and four defeats. “It remains a very balanced and fairly homogeneous championship” tempers Valéry Demory. “It remains a great collective team, which rotates the ball well and fights. We’ll have to have a good match to win there. »
Returning from the international break where 3 BLMA players left for the selection (Berniès, Touré and Linskens), the resumption could be complicated as announced by the Lattes-Montpellier coach, “the match following the international break, you never know what to expect, positive or negative. » Hoping for the positive to restart.
