Zacharie Risacher knew he was expected in these Betclic Elite playoffs with a view to his future Draft after a slightly less flamboyant second part of the season. Until now, the least we can say is that the phenomenon of JL Bourg responds now!
Already author of his best career match with 28 points during the previous round in the return match lost in Nanterre, the son of former international Stéphane Risacher this time led his team to victory, on the floor of Monaco ( 73-83), reigning champion and big favorite for his own succession.
The young winger finished as the top scorer of the match with a good stat line to boot: 21 points at 8/12 shooting, 8 rebounds and 2 interceptions for 24 rating and an edifying +/- of +28. All with some classy moves, like a coast-to-coast ending with a dunk, or very technical drives.
Note that the Monegasques played without their scorer Mike James, who was injured in the hip. Domantas Motiejunas and Mam Jaiteh were also out. This success in any case places Zaccharie Risacher's team in a good position, with the next two matches in the series to be played at Ekinox, Tuesday and Thursday.
