The ultimate challenge of Nanterre

If it has already achieved its goal by standing up to the biggest European teams, the JSF Nanterre can still qualify for the Top 16 of the Euroleague, Thursday against the armada of Fenerbahçe (2100). This will require an improbable coincidence, but if it has a team capable of anything ...

The equation is simple: to continue the adventure, Nanterre must not only beat the ogre of the Halle Carpentier Fener (2100), but also hope that Partizan Belgrade is not necessary to its audience, against CSKA Moscow (20.45). A fourth group before the tenth and final day of the group stage (and therefore provisionally qualified), the Serbian club grilled priority to Nanterriens last week, enjoying the defeat of the Greens in Kiev (61-80). A victory in a "Pionir fire" so to ensure teammates Joffrey Lauvergne their ticket to the Top 16. This is not the case of the JSF, which no longer has his destiny in his hands.

Determined not to look through the evolution of the score in Belgrade , the champions of France preserve their concentration on their own game. And attempt to draw lessons from the first leg in Turkey, there is a month when Fenerbahçe was hooked up to the last moments of the game by an admirable defense Ile . In addition, Nanterriens build on the strength of the public to continue carton at home, where they held Barça scares Moscow beat Partizan and exploded Kiev. "There is no doubt especially in the group, and Mam Jaiteh explained in our columns on Thursday. There are rather a lot of fatigue. " Defeated Pau Monday ( 72-89 ) , the JSF is actually not the best series of the season . A blessing in disguise ? The collective Pascal Donnadieu is never as impressive as it is forced to react after one or two bad results. This is great : they have never been back to that spot on the wall.
