BASKETBALL: ASVEL – JDA Dijon poster live on France 3 this Sunday
It is only the start of the season in Betclic Elite but it is already a beautiful poster which is on the calendar this Sunday, October 10 (in between at 5 p.m.).
It may be the start of the season, it is intense for the basketball players of JDA Dijon Basket.
The reshuffled Dijon team – starting with the arrival of the main coach Nenad Markovic to succeed Laurent Legname – was able to avoid the trap match with the reception on October 1 of the promoted Paris Basket, thanks in particular to a second part of the match clearly marked (94-78).
On the other hand, the outcome was less happy in Greece last Tuesday night in the first Basketball Champions League match, with a defeat on the wire against Lavrio (65-63).
JDA Dijon will then challenge Villeurbanne on its floor this Sunday, October 10, 2021. The floor of the Astroballe, on which ASVEL won by two points against Gravelines last Sunday (83-81) before going to correct Le Portel (69-94) Tuesday. Not to mention already two victories against Kaunas and Alba Berlin in the Euroleague.
The opposition is expected, such “a shock”. If the Dijon team is no longer the same as said, it can still, for example, rely on the experience and the temper of MVP David Holston. His 31 points scored against Paris Basket proved it for the umpteenth time.
ASVEL is for its part what is called an armada in the French basket and intends to continue to expand its track record.
Movements have taken place in the offseason, but it is interesting to remember that the confrontations between the two clubs have come to two victories for both. JDA Dijon had won the outward and return leg in the regular season, of which it had finished leader, but ASVEL had not let the Dijon team take away its title of champion of France, nor the cup of France. JDA Dijon had also come out frustrated, not to have been able to shake the Villeurbannaise team to the grail.
As you will have noticed, these clubs fought for two trophies last season, two finals. The page is turned, but the reunion has a somewhat special flavor. It is also an opportunity for JDA Dijon, whose fame has grown steadily in recent seasons through sporting performance, to confirm that its ambitions are high in this Betclic Elite championship.
The ASVEL – JDA Dijon match will be broadcast live on France 3 Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, France 3 Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, Sport in France (accessible free of charge on the various boxes) this Sunday, October 10, 2021. The in-between is set at 5 p.m.
