End of series for Limoges CSP which lost this Saturday in Strasbourg. Deprived of their interior Hugo Invernizzi, the players of Massimo Cancellieri suffered the law of the Alsatians during a one-sided 1st half and dominated by the SIG 49 to 28. A gap that the Limougeauds could not recover after the break to finally lose 97 to 66 in this match of the 16th day of the French basketball championship.
The meeting: a one-way match
This is what we could call a day without Limoges CSP. Never in the game, Massimo Cancellieri’s players never found a solution against a SIG on a good night. Already trailing by 15 points at the end of the 1st quarter (25-10), they had 21 at half-time (49-28) and 31 at the end of the match lost 97 to 66. A game to forget .
The statements:
Massimo Cancellieri, coach of Limoges CSP :”we tried everything we could. There are two important factors. The first is to have played in Strasbourg. I told you it would be very tough and you’ve seen what kind of team it is. And the second is that we lost our energy this week. We had problems. Hugo was not there. Demonte had just returned. But I don’t want to complain. I know my team. And I knew this week could be difficult. That’s why we tried to find solutions. It didn’t work and we lost. I hate losing 30 points. but at the same time, I can’t blame my team. Because we are Limoges and we fight every day. And those kinds of things happen. My job is that it doesn’t happen too often. today, what I hate is that we gave up too quickly. after the 2nd quarter, the body language was wrong. I hate losing, my players too. I don’t want to kill my team’s confidence. I don’t want people talking badly about my team because of a game. i said last week that i love this team and i continue to love it“.
Nicolas Lang, back and captain of Limoges CSP: “First of all, they played very well.
