Chartres still shakes up the Angers boss

Indeed, Sylvain Delorme, the coach of the N1 champion, had announced a few hours before his departure from the club. The man with multiple titles with the hopes of Cholet will have only made one season in the prefecture club of Maine-et-Loire.

But a season crowned with a new trophy and a comeback in ProB, eight years after the last.

Terrible clumsiness in throws and 3 points

On this match almost without stake, where Chartres could possibly recover a place in the classification – in its dynamic of defeats, was it a gift to face in play-offs the first of the intermediate hen than the last of the high hen (Lyon )? -, it was interesting to know how the two protagonists would behave.

If Chartres showed a certain desire to enter (4-0, 2 ‘), he was quickly overtaken by a chronic awkwardness in free throws (7/12). And Angers were quick to show who was the boss with their little leader Williams (6-13, 5 ‘).

If Lavieille or Hawmond continued to feed the mark for the Star, Chartres managed to stay in touch thanks to the tonicity of the young Doumbia on an and-one at the start of the second quarter (22-23, 11 ‘). This same Doumbia put on a show, in front of a busy hall, slamming a dunk to equalize (28-28, 13’).

Sébastien Lambert, the CCBM coach

If Angers made a new gap on winning shots from Morose and Gauthier (28-34, 15 ‘), he wasted some ammunition to swell the score on attempts at alley-oops orchestrated and aborted by a Williams player. Even without being at 100%, Angers managed to keep the Chartrains lead underwater (32-40, 17’). Chartrains who, bogged down at 6.75 m (0/9), nevertheless limited the breakage at the break (36-40).

hot money-time

Returning from the locker room, Chartres, awkward under the circle, saw the Angevin scuds fall on him, with Williams, Choua and Real (38-54, 25 ‘).

To top it off, it was on his eleventh attempt and through his pivot (!) Clerence that the CCBM converted his first 3-point shot.

And while Delorme was turning his bench, Chartres took the opportunity to close the gap (53-60, 30′), still offering a stake for the last round.
But with the return of their 5 major on the floor, Angers set the record straight somewhat (53-64, 31′ then 56-67, 34′), even if Thalien and Sencanski then Mekdad still left the hope of a possible return in money-time (65-70, 35′ then 69-73, 38′).

Then, the hall ignited on two winning shots from Thalien and Sencanski (78-77, 39′). But an unsportsmanlike Sencanski was going to weigh down the end of the match for the Chartrains who will bitterly regret the throwing waste, with 15 points left on the way (18/33). Final score: 78-83.
