The defeat at home against Andrézieux (61-80) had cast a chill among the supporters, in particular by the absence of revolt in the second half. Saturday night, in the North, the Chartrains were not much better and again conceded a heavy setback (78-60) against an Orchesian opponent who was not a monster.
Tonight, for the reception of Pont-de-Chéruy, the CCBM must win under penalty of seeing its Top 5 ambitions really fade away.
The context :
Chartres and Pont-de-Chéruy both have a deficit before this 4th day with already two defeats in the bag. For the CCBM, used for a few seasons to play in the high court in N1, this situation is surprising. Even if the team has been largely remodeled, and despite the loss of executives (Romain, Maxwell, Diarra …), the Eurelian club suffered two affronts: the first against a contender for the Top 5, Andrézieux, the second at the modest Orchies. These two slaps, of -19 and -18 points, question. “There are three highlights on these two setbacks: 1, we are not running enough; 2, we are not efficient in the construction of the game; 3, we have to be more disciplined ”, proclaims the coach Sébastien Lambert, who has only one word in his mouth before Pont-de-Chéruy:“ Victory! “.
premium Never in the rhythm, Chartres lost heavily at home against Andrézieux (02/10/2021)
Chartres: only the captain up to the task:
Back-up of the pivot Moustapha Diarra these last two seasons with an average of 8.4 and 6.3 points, Patrick Clerence is, today, the best artificer of the CCBM with 16 points. Find the mistake ? The mistake is that the other players and especially the executives are clearly below their level. Brilliant in Besançon (26 pts), the leader Yann Siegwarth appeared erased during the two defeats suffered by the CCBM. US winger Steven Green was the shadow of himself at Orchies (4 pts) and the other foreigner, Spanish post 4 Federico Ucles, was transparent against Andrézieux (2 pts). Without forgetting the back Paul Bouloukouet far from his perfs which he had at GET Vosges (16.4 pts). And the bench remains too weak. “Of course, we are clumsy, but we have to be more creative and our collective game is failing in these last matches. When you score 60 points, you cannot win matches, analyzes Sébastien Lambert. We must let go as we had been in Besançon ”. In the Doubs, the CCBM won by scoring 96 points!
A SOPCC still running in:
This summer, the Isère club had been announced as a non-starter in N1 due to several factors: resigned president, no coach and only one player under contract. Finally, the SOPCC managed to find its strong men: a president (24 years old) and a coach Dounia Issa. The latter, ex-international, former player of Gravelines and Le Mans and ex-coach of MSB (ProA), brought back youth with seven elements under 24 years old. Difficult to aim better than a maintenance even if the young 40-year-old coach can rely on a few grumblers like the pivot Cheick Soumaoro (31), the only survivor of last season with winger Franck Tchoubaye (29 years), US point guard Johnathan Hudson, who arrived from Cyprus, and ex-Chartres full-back Ludovic Chelle (38). After two short defeats against Caen (60-67) and Orchies (69-56), the SOPCC will try tonight to confirm its spinal success (66-54).
Chartres (Halle Jean-Cochet), this Tuesday, October 12 at 8 p.m.
CCBM : Siegwarth, Thalien, Doumbia, Bouloukouet, Békoulé Ekambi, Green (US), Bernaoui, Ucles (ESP), Mukuna, Clerence.
SOPCC : Hudson (US), Coudray, Diara, Chelle, Tchoubaye, David, Eyoum, Nseke Ebele, Guillou, Thevenard, Soumaoro.
