For some, the Vosges are a slightly refreshing destination during the heat wave. For basketball players, the 26 degrees announced at the start of this Wednesday evening by Météo France in Vittel were dissuasive. This Tuesday at the end of the morning, the preparation match scheduled in the spa town between SLUC and Dijon was canceled. The two clubs justifying this last-minute U-turn by the high heat. It is true that the room of the CPO of Vittel can quickly look like an oven when the sun shines. Fortunately, no tickets had been sold, as admission was free.
The fact remains that, if the SLUC will be careful not to step up for so little, it is rather on the side of Dijon that the short trip was deemed inappropriate. The JDA, currently deprived of its Slovenian full-back Gregor Hrovat (World Cup), apparently already had the right last Saturday to a small “basketball sauna” on the side of Roanne.
Like the people of Nancy and Strasbourg, in Saint-Nicolas-de-Port, for that matter. “These were not conditions for playing basketball, the players got tired very quickly,” coach Nenad Markovic told our colleagues from Public Good.
Unable to turn around in such a short time, the SLUC will therefore also leave its players cool this Wednesday evening, even if the coach Sylvain Lautié would undoubtedly have preferred to take advantage of the presence of the leader Frank Mason one last time to make work his group. Remember that this Thursday, the American leader will leave for the United States to join his wife who is waiting
