The move to individual defense will transform the Soubestre formation. It was the Girondins’ turn to prove sterile in attack. Lalaude raids the defense and the Béarnaise attack is finally running at full speed. It goes far too quickly for visitors unable to follow the pace imposed on them. In 7 minutes, 2MBS caught up and took the lead at the break with a final basket from Ricard (33-30).
The editorial team advises you
The Soubestre players did not slow down in the 3rd quarter and gained a 10-point lead at the start of the 2nd half. Tresses only survives due to its distant skill but it is insufficient to stop the Béarnaise fury (56-38, 30th).
The locals will even increase their lead to 21 points 9 minutes from time. Perhaps they thought the match was over. Against all expectations, Tresses, who have nothing left to lose, are gradually closing their gap against the locals who have stopped playing.
The editorial team advises you
Successful from afar, dominating in the racket, the Girondins are back on the heels of their opponents. Fortunately, a few rebounds will favor the Béarnais to maintain a slim advantage in the final seconds.
