The meeting at the end of the weekend. “Le Parisien” invites you to analyze and decipher the results of the main clubs in Île-de-France.
The defeat on the wire: the Mets overthrown by Limoges
BASKET. Victor Wembanyama’s 221 centimeters were not enough to spoil the party in Limoges, nor to counter the winning shot scored by Bryce Jones. For the thirty years of the CSP’s victory in the European Cup (1993), Boulogne-Levallois almost brought the victory back from his trip to Beaublanc but the Limougeauds overturned the match one second from the buzzer (84-83).
Despite the 25 points and numerous fouls caused by “Wemby”, the Mets lost for the tenth time this season. Not enough, however, to dislodge them from their second place in the Betclic Elite ranking. The news, at the Metropolitans, also takes place on the other side of the Atlantic. We know a little more about the team that will host Wembanyama this summer.
The number: 1
BASKET. The maintenance is getting closer and the play-offs are still within reach. Paris Basketball (9th) is only one victory away from Gravelines, 8th, and has overtaken Roanne (10th), who was still ahead of it last weekend. The Parisians pulled out the highlights machine to win against Nancy (99-91), despite a badly negotiated first quarter (19-33) and two teams tied two minutes from the end of the game.
With five days left to play, Will Weaver’s players have played one game less than the BCM, eighth and provisional holder of the last ticket for the play-offs. They will be able to rely on Jeremy Evans in the race for the final phase. The winger compiled 25 points and 8 rebounds against the Nancy. Especially since Paris is evolving on several fronts. He will have to negotiate a Eurocup quarter-final against Gran Canaria in midweek.
Hope: Tremblay did not give in
HANDBALL. Tremblay pocketed the derby at Massy (30-26). Beyond the geographical issue, the match did not have the same importance for the two teams. While the Massicois don’t have much to play for this season, the Tremblaysiens are engaged in the fight for promotion. Thanks to this success, the second of Proligue (D2) prevents his pursuer in the classification from returning.
Saran did the job by winning against Caen (39-26) but Tremblay remains stalled, alone, in the wheel of Dijon, leader of the championship. The Séquano-Dionysiens are only one point behind the Burgundians but they would be well advised to erase it quickly. The regular phase ends in four days and only the number 1 in the standings will be directly propelled into the elite. The second spot will be contested after a series of play-offs.
The first step: the Stade Français starts its play-offs well
VOLLEY. The players of Stade Français Paris Saint-Cloud have launched their play-off campaign as it should. In the first leg of the quarter-finals, they dominated Pays d’Aix Venelles at home (3-1). The Parisiennes enforced the hierarchy, they who had finished the regular season in second position, five places ahead of their evening opponent.
Stade Français had dropped the first set before recovering, in the wake of 21 points from Radostina Marinova. Second in the regular season, Alessandro Orefice’s band will have the opportunity to finish the job on Wednesday in the South to reach the semi-finals.
