Paris still in the race, Limoges is sinking, Fos almost doomed
Paris, Strasbourg, Le Portel and Nanterre won this Saturday, during the 31st day of Betclic Elite.
Paris remains in the race for the play-offs of the French Basketball Championship after its offensive festival against Roanne (120-107) during the 31st day having almost condemned Fos-sur-Mer to relegation after its loss at Portel (97- 70). Limoges, again beaten, this time by Strasbourg (93-76), retains a mattress of two victories in the red zone but shares with Fos the worst dynamic of Betclic Elite, with a success in six matches. In free fall, the CSP moves during the next day on the floor of Asvel and puts itself in danger of relegation, the year of the thirty years of its coronation in C1.
In mirror, facing a direct competitor, the young and ambitious Paris Basket had more than interest to win to return to a unit of the eighth place of Gravelines, last club in position to play for the first time the final phase and imitate Dijon, which became the third club to qualify the day before. The mission remains possible thanks to its American interior Aamir Simms: 23 points, 9 rebounds and 6 ***ists.
Hifi shoves the Byers head underwater
Conversely, Fos seems condemned to the impossible. Last of the Elite, the band of Allan Dokossi, author of a double double on Saturday (12 pts, 16 rebounds), has two victories behind the first non-relegation player with three days remaining. On the Côte d’Opale, the phenomenon Nadir Hifi drove the Byers head underwater with a 5/5 three-pointer, for a total of 21 points accompanied by 6 ***ists.

The leader p***ed by the Algerian youth teams and registered for the next NBA draft, is clearly approaching the France team, said Vincent Collet earlier in the day. “Things are going in the very good direction, described the coach during a press video conference. You still have to be patient because changing nationality always takes time in basketball. But that should be fixed pretty quickly. There is a real agreement in principle from the Algerian Federation which I would like to salute.»
