The opportunity was good for the players of C’Chartres BF to settle back in the leader’s chair, Saturday, December 11, after the surprise defeat of Mondeville in Reims, the day before (67-51). But the partners of Elise Marié did not know how to seize it in front of the players of Montbrison who bravely played their chance.
At first timid during the first two quarters, the Chartraines completely cracked during the third, conceding a severe 14-0 on the return from the locker room (40-42 to 40-56). The moment when everything changed, says Benoît Marty, a downcast coach but not totally surprised. “Tonight we missed a lot of things. Defensive aggressiveness for nearly 35 minutes, ”regrets the coach from Chartres.
The CCBF wins at La Tronche
In a week of disrupted preparation (cases of Covid have been reported to the club) and in the wake of a series of three trying trips, Ginette Mfutila’s partners have never managed to find their rhythm, for their return to Jean- Cochet, after a month of absence.
If they managed to stay in contact, especially thanks to the 3-point address of Camille Hillotte, including three chained in the middle of the second quarter, the protected Benoît Marty have, above all, sin defensively, allowing their opponents to gain confidence throughout the meeting.
The Chartraines bow to Montbrison for their last of the year
Camille Hillotte floated
“We know that Chartres is a very physical team. We expected them to bump into us when we got back from the locker room, but we were the ones who managed to do it. After the blow that we managed to inflict on them at the start of the second half, it was difficult to come back, ”analyzes the captain of the Loire team, Aurélie Favre, author of a full match.
Far from his evening opponents, who have missed almost everything, with the exception of Camille Hillotte, who achieved one of his best matches in the jersey of the CCBF (22 points and 20 in the evaluation).
Resumed in Calais on January 8
While the player from the Southwest floated, many of her partners were drowning. “Tonight, we gave up physically and we gave up a bit in our heads. It was seen when we started to miss free throws (only 10/20, or 50% success). We would have liked to show another image but we were clearly not there, ”observes the original Dacquoise who came from Insep in 2018.
While this meeting, the last of the year for the Chartraines, could have allowed them to regain the leader’s chair, even in trompe-l’oeil, since the Chartraines have one game more than their main opponents.
A little below their initial objectives (7 wins and 4 losses), the Chartraines will have to take advantage of the winter break. To come back stronger during the recovery, on January 8, in Calais.
