For both teams, the December truce will have been very short, each having played on December 30 in the European Cup. For the Lyonnais, it was even almost zero with this recovery on Friday.
A new head will appear on the side of the Rhone, the leader Derrick Walton Jr (25 years old, 1m84) already having a small career in Europe with Kaunas and Berlin, but also in the NBA with a few meetings on the side of the Clippers and Pistons. One more piece in the group of T.J. Parker who may not be able to rely on his control tower, Moustapha Fall (8.3 points and 6.2 rebounds in the Elite) injured rib. Absent on the way there, Guerschon Give it back (13 points and 3 rebounds) and William Howerd (7.5 points and 3 rebounds) will be additional assets to thwart the plans of Savo Vučević. The Bressan coach hopes to count on the returns of Zack Wright and Thibault Daval-Braquet to start 2021 with what would be a new confirmation. Above all, the Burgiens are trying to pass this round which they had let fly last year in Boulogne-Levallois after extra time in 2020 (96-102).
As a sign …
Villeurbanne and Bourg, two towns which will have held dear to our Pierrot. His star will undoubtedly shine above the Astroballe during this derby. To say thank you!
