Solid Performances In Last Double Round Week
Mir sinn de Match géint d’Résidence, engem vun de Leader vun der TOTAL League, mat enger kämpferescher Astellung an enger gudder Defense ugaangen. Eise Géigner huet reagéiert an trotzdeem war de Match wärend der ganzer, regulärer Spillzäit ganz serréiert. Leider hu mir an der leschter Sekonn net getraff a sou ass et zu enger Verlängerung komm. Et huet een d’Middegkeet vun eise Jonge gespuert, dëst bedéngt duerch déi vill Matcher an de leschte Wochen an och doduerch, datt mir net genuch Spiller hunn fir anzewiesselen. Egal wéi, de Match huet eis gewisen, datt mir et mat all Equipe aus der Ligue kënnen ophuelen, soulaang mir déi néideg Energie an e gutt Zesummespill mat abréngen.
Mir befannen eis an der leschter Ligne droite vum Championnat. Leider ass et an dësem Moment schonns kloer, datt mir net méi a de Playoff wäerte kommen, dofir ass et elo eist Zil, déi beschte Positioun am Klassement erauszespillen. Mat dëser Iddi am Kapp si mir géint d’Muselpikes ugetrueden. Obwuel mir mat der richteger Astellung op de Terrain komm sinn, hat mir Problemer déi géigneresch Offense ze stoppen. Mir hunn dorops hin op eng Zonendefense ëmgestallt. Dës, an eis gutt Entscheedungen an der Offense, hunn eis et erlaabt mat enger Féierung an d’Paus ze goen. No der Paus hu mir dem Géigner duerch eis aggressiv Zonenverdeedegung keng einfach Wërf méi erlaabt. Mir hunn eise Ball am Ugrëff dréie gelooss, fir sou déi optimal Schosspositioun erauszespillen a mir si mat enger zweestelleger Féierung belount ginn. Obwuel mir nach den éischte Match géint d’Pikes am Hannerkapp haten, hunn eis Hären dem Drock vun der Heemequipe bis zum Schluss standgehalen an hunn sou eng Victoire erausgespillt. Dës gëtt eise Jonge Courage fir déi lescht 2 Matcher vun der Saison.

Our team stepped on the court with a competitive attitude and a solid defensive performance against one of TOTAL League’s leaders. Résidence reacted and the game was close until the end, with our guys having a chance to close the game in the last seconds of the regulation time, unfortunately without success. In overtime, things smiled to the visitors, with our team showing some accumulated tiredness after a lot of consecutive games and a short rotation. Anyway, this game showed us that we can compete with any team from this league as long as we have the right energy and cohesion.
In the last stretch of the championship, and already without possibilities of reaching the Playoffs, the team’s goal is to finish in the best position possible of the standings. With that in mind, we started the game against Musel Pikes with the right attitude but struggling to stop the opponent’s offense. After alternating our defense to zone and by keeping making good decisions on offense, we managed to go to halftime with the lead. In the second half, by keeping playing an agressive zone defense, not allowing any easy shots, and moving the ball on offense, always looking for the best shot, the team managed to reach a double-digit lead. With what happened against Musel Pikes in our first game in Heffingen still present, our guys managed well the pressure in the final minutes from the home team and got a good win which gives the team some encouragement for the last 2 games of the season.
Heffingen 75-80 Résidence
