December 29, Youssoupha Fall played 5 tiny minutes against Valencia in EuroLeague. Four days later, the Franco-Senegalese pivot exploded the counters against Andorra. Is it the low playing time that was granted 96 hours earlier that over-motivated the giant, like his cry of rage just after a block? We don’t know, but maybe anyway. Faced with Jeremy Sanglin (20 points), the former pivot of Le Mans and Strasbourg was unstoppable with 17 points 7/7 on shots, 14 rebounds, 4 blocks and 5 fouls caused for … 38 evaluation in 29 minutes ! Almost as the final evaluation of the whole Andorra team (45). For the pivot, this is his best game in Liga ACB since his arrival. Vitoria continues a 5th victory in a row and points to 4th place in the championship.

In the derby of fear between Bilbao (17th) and San Sebastien (18th, red lantern), the partners of Jonathan rousselle were imposed in-extremis, 81-80. The French leader was the best player of the game thanks to his 17 points including 12/17 on the free throw line, 3 rebounds, 10 assists and 9 fouls caused for 27 evaluation in 31 minutes. The Northerner thus sets his new record for the number of assists. With this success, Bilbao is certainly still in the same place but stands out from its evening opponent by counting 2 wins in advance.
Finally, in another thriller from the bottom of the table, Zaragoza (15th) beat Real Betis Seville (16th) after extra time by a score of 96-95. MVP of the month of December in Liga ACB, the former Monegasque Dylan Ennis was a great architect of this success (24 points to 9/13 on shots and 7 assists in 36 minutes). He notably scored the victorious free throws followed by a decisive defense against French back Yakouba Ouattara. Even if this defense is marred by a fault, which should have allowed the French international to go on the line. Waiting, Yakouba Ouattara finished in a double-double thanks to his 12 points at 6/8 on shots and 11 rebounds in 34 minutes of play.
