Bourg vs Nanterre Odds
Bourg Team News
After a historic season in which they achieved 25 wins, they showed two faces in the two games of the quarterfinals. In the first game, they overcame a 15-point deficit in the second half, but then squandered a six-point lead at the start of the final quarter in the second game, resulting in a 1-1 tie.
At the beginning of the final quarter during the second game, everything looked like a movie. Zaccharie Richascher played a phenomenal game in front of NBA scouts, and they had a six-point lead. Then, they somehow disappeared from the court, as if they prematurely pulled the handbrake and started celebrating, which backfired. The talented Frenchman scored 28 points with six rebounds (11/16). Isiaha Mike, as a member of the best five of the French league, finished this game with 19 points with excellent shooting percentages from the field (7/10). Although they had 14 more rebounds, they couldn’t capitalize on that due to an almost unbelievable 18 turnovers, which they must not allow themselves in the third game.
Bourg’s three-point shooting at home is generally higher than on the road, so they are seriously counting on that factor. Also, when they gain control of the rebounds, it’s essential to utilize it, and the parameter they most need to work on is certainly the number of turnovers, as they can’t afford another huge number of “turnovers” because that’s not the way to win.
Nanterre Team News
Nanterre finished the regular season with a 20-14 record and were defeated by Monaco in the French Cup final. They managed to lose the ‘won’ first game against Bourg, but they showed character by overcoming the deficit on their home court to tie the series and force a decisive game.
The primary reason for their reaction and comeback in the second game of the quarterfinal series was their three-point shooting. In the second game, they hit 14 three-pointers out of just 27 attempts. Nine of those came in the final quarter, allowing them to compensate for their disastrous rebounding at both ends of the court, as they allowed the opponent 14 more rebounds. The American duo of Justin Bibbins (15 points and 10 assists) and Desi Rodriguez rose to the occasion (13 points, 6/9 from the field). Additionally, Bastien Pinault emerged from the shadows as the team’s top scorer with an impressive three-point shooting percentage (6/8).
The formula for success is undoubtedly for Nanterre to continue their extraordinary three-point shooting, as that is where they can make a difference against their rival. Besides that, they must not allow the opponent to dominate the rebounds as they did in the previous game, as this parameter can be a double-edged sword.
