Basketball: big disappointment at home for the Frontignan LPB troops

Le retour de Clément Hazebroucq n’a pas suffi pour Frontignan. – Chloé Berard

In the high group, Stéphane Olivieri's men lost 60-67 this Saturday, January 13 at home, against Tarbes.

The coach had warned that the start of this marathon of 14 meetings between contenders for accession would be delicate. The defeat in the final moments of the first meeting had confirmed his fears. For this second day, the long-awaited return of Clément Hazebroucq was enough to restore his morale, that of Simon Charles scheduled for next week should amplify it.

Worrying

Alas, despite the arguments to take up the challenge, faced with Tarbais solid in defense, more aggressive in the game and far too much waste in possession, the basketball players recorded a second and worrying defeat in their den.

A little stunned by this missed start, the coach still wants to remain confident: "Of course, it’s a complicated start. It’s never pleasant, or comforting, to start with two defeats. There, it’s more than very complicated because they are at home. There is no longer any alternative, put the warm-up blues back on Tuesday in training with a full squad, the first time since the start.

It's with the neighbors of Saint-Gély that we will have to seek a first victory, on a floor which did not leave a good memory during the last visit. Note that only two teams remain undefeated in the group, Cugnaux and Ouest Montpellier Métropole.
