ProB Basketball Tournament: OLB Secures Home Advantage in Quarter Finals with Win Over Rouen

If nothing changes in the last three days of the ProB tournament, the OLB will have home advantage in the quarter finals of the matches.

At the end of a very tight game, literally and figuratively, the basketball players of Orléans not only won a victory from Rouennais who eliminated Michael Brisker, their best scorer (13.7 points on average) and the first threat at 3 points (7 shots taken per game , success 41%)), this Wednesday April 24 in the evening, but they also stole fourth place in the ProB ranking, the particular average point to favor them. If things stayed the same (but there are still three days to go), the OLB would benefit from home advantage in the quarterfinals of the games; that is to say that if there was a support game, Ludovic Negrobar and his team would have the advantage of playing at CO’Met.

Dressed and clumsy, a taste of the play-offs

With the hardness used to protect one’s racket and one’s circle, with the excess of energy and agility that often accompanies it (26% at 3 points, 53% on free throws and 18 balls lost on the Rouen side, 42% success for the Camp Orléans), the score was very close until the last four minutes (63-64), the conflict often looked like a last level brawl… place.

The back welcomes the fee

But if the OLB had been able to take advantage of the two-player game with his interior first (10 points for Petit Niang and 2 for Dossou at the break, out of 34 ), Terrell Gomez, Darius Johnson-Odom and Stefan Smith, the Orléans back three, were able to cause the break at the end of the game by scoring 21 of the last 24 points.

OLB has found a new Ludovic Beyhurst

The Orleans, who had taken several small victories (21-28, 13th; 40-39, 28th; 63-71, 37th), ended up winning 78 to 72. Success was deserved – the first against a member of the top4 – who wants to confirm on Sunday, in Evreux. Otherwise it could quickly become useless…
