The balance sheet is perfect after the group stage of the Eurocup. Six wins in six games, the best offense in the competition, one of the best defenses. Against Dinamo Sassari, Bourges Basket has confirmed the good impressions left for several weeks already. The show of force was impressive: 118-67, final score. The Berruyères led the game from start to finish and the gap widened over the minutes.
Good preparation for the rest of the season
“Winning with the maximum gap was very important. You have to build up confidence and get up to speed because we have matches coming up and we know that the rest will be more intense”, explains Sarah Michel, who scored 11 points. Each match is a good preparation for the future, confirms coach Berruyer. “We could have played a blah game with little intensity. But playing without envy, it does not make us progress. We tried to increase the intensity, the race, to produce a beautiful game for the spectators and for us. I’m satisfied because we didn’t care about anyone “greeted Olivier Lafargue at a press conference.
Obviously, Dinamo Sassari does not have the level of favorites in the French league or in European competitions. Corn The application, the concentration, the motivation of the Berruyères basketball players are all reasons for hope for the rest of the season. “It’s up to us to continue against teams that will arrive with a bigger pedigree”, sums up the coach.
Now, knockout matches are starting in the Eurocup. The draw for the playoffs will take place in the coming days. “We can’t wait to measure ourselves against bigger teams and have the way that remains to be done. These are choppy matches, we will have to be very serious and continue to work. It’s another challenge”, emphasizes Sarah Michel.
