Coupe de France: the C’Chartres BM was stifled by the green giant Limoges

However, the proteges – if we can put it that way – of Cancellieri had done everything well in the first quarter by muzzling the Chartrains, unable to approach the circle in the first minutes. Siegwarth and others were pushed back near the center line.

Zone defense, one of the characteristics of the fantastic Cancellieri, worked wonderfully. Well almost, according to the person concerned, because he did not hesitate to leave his American leader Massinburg after barely three minutes of play. A kind of punishment, just to say two words to him, because the Texan was put back into the traffic by his coach two minutes later. And, at the end of the first quarter, the Dallas man was already credited with 11 points. He will be by far the best scorer at the halfway point (19 units) then of the meeting (24 pts).

For Chartres, suffocated from the first act (26-6), with his only pivot, Clerence, already with 3 fouls (9 ‘), the evening was going to be long. But the CCBM, despite everything, played evenly in the second quarter (25-24). Which, of course, angered Cancellieri, who took a time-out 1’28 of the break (47-25), furious with his defense who had been unable to stop a Thalien-winning missile. And the Abruzzo man was still going to shoot his beard (angry of course) on a 3-point Siegwarth right on the gong (51-30, 20 ‘).

Heading to Avignon for the CCBM

For the CCBM, Mass had been said for a long time. Not for the former Ravenna coach who continued to rot his players. Finally, not all, especially young people, like the leader Ludovic Beyhurst (22 years) and the combo Thimothé Crusol (20 years). They took full advantage, just like the young inside Cédric Sam Mbaka (19 years old), out of the nursery of the Hopes with a still virgin jersey, not yet flocked for the Betclic Elite. A deal in the 36th minute when the score was 93-55 will earn Mbaka such a dry return to the bench. On the confessional bench facing an ulcerated coach.

premium Chartres, in the lair of the legendary CSP Limoges, this Tuesday evening, to try the impossible

In the meantime, Limoges had further accelerated during the third quarter (28-13), but had fallen asleep a little in the last (22-19), despite the cheers of the supporters of the CSP who celebrated the bar of 100 points on a basket of Pinkins, 54 seconds from the siren.

The CCBM had tried to resist. The Chartrains will still have eliminated (for 5 faults) the Estonian Siim Sander Vene and do better than the attack of the JDA Dijon which had registered only 57, ten days ago, in Beaublanc. “Winning here was for the sweet dreamers,” said coach Sébastien Lambert, already “focus” on the championship and the reception in Avignon, this Saturday, November 20.
