If the CSP has one of the best defenses but also one of the worst attacks in the championship, the opposite is true for Champagne Basket that Limoges faces this Friday evening on behalf of the 9th day of the French Elite basketball championship. “After Boulogne and Roanne, it is the 3rd team in the classification of points scored. The surprising thing is that they don’t have a lot of possessions. They don’t have a lot of shots but they have high percentages of success. Most of the time when they take a shot they score. It will be a big test for our defense. We have to play even more aggressive“warns trainer Massimo Cancellieri.
We will have to try to come back well to limit the quick game – Nicolas Lang
For its captain Nicolas Lang, we will have to limit their individualities. “It is often a team that has strong individualities. I think their coach gives a lot of freedom to some players. They have headliners and we’ll have to try to limit that. Notably Reynolds who created a lot for others. He played in Saint Petersburg a few years ago. It is not just anyone. And on the counterattack, it will be necessary to try to come back well to limit the fast play“anticipates the Limougeaud rear who will then join the France team for the international window in November.
