Am 6. Match an 9 Deeg hunn U16 Meedercher déi richteg Reaktioun gewisen an mat 47 op 45 géint Estland gewonnen. D'Meedercher hunn Consignen vum Coach Jérôme Altmann gutt ëmgesat an besonnesch an der Defense Géignerinnen frei ënner Drock gesat. Et war eng Teamleeschtung wou all Spillerinnen hiren Bäitrag derzou ginn huet. Statistesch stécht Tanja de Rond mat 23 Punkten an 8 Rebounds ervir. Roud Léiwinnen hunn besonnesch zum Schluss méi clever gespillt wéi an der Virbereedung. Sie hunn aus hiren Feeler aus der Vergaangenheet geleiert an sou net nach eng Kéier op 2 Punkten géint Estland verluer, mee den Match net méi aus der Hand ginn.

Muer geet et dann um 16.30 am leschten Match géint Bulgarien em Plaz 13 ënner 22 Natiounen. Bulgarinnen wäerten schnellen Transition-Basket spillen wou et fir eis Meedercher gëllt op Zack ze sinn. Meedercher wäerten awer zum Schluss nach eng Kéier all hir Kraaftreserven mobiliséieren.

Den Opstig an Divisioun A hunn haut Dänemark an Belsch gepackt déi dann och muer zum Ofschloss wäerten em Gold kämpfen hei zu Skopje.

Et ass leider am 5. Match vun der EM net duer gaangen fir eng 2.Victoire am Tournoi ze feieren.
Meedercher sinn gutt an den Match gestart, sie kruten vill Rebounde géint déi grouss Schwäizerinnen, mee Sie hunn sech an der Offense leider net oft genuch belount. Mat knapp 26% Trefferquote aus der 2-Punktenzone gëtt et schwiereg een Match ze gewannen. Meedercher hunn awer weiderhin gekämpft. Den Kraaftopwand huet awer och an der 2.Hallschent dofir gesuergt dass den Géigner ëmmer méi zu zweeten einfachen Chancen koum. Schlussendlech ass den Match mat 58-35 un Schwäizerinnen gaangen déi elo muer mat den Irinnen em Plaz 9 kämpfen wäerten.
Mir spillen muer géint Estland um 14.15 em Plaz 13. Een Géigner deen bekannterweis an eiser Reechwäite ass! No der positiver Reaktioun vun haut wäerten Meedercher muer och sécherlech nach méi motivéiert an den Match starten!

http://www.fiba.basketball/europe/u16bwomen/2017/2208/Luxembourg-Israel

U16 National Team arrived safe yesterday evening in Luxembourg after a fair participation in the European Championship in Bulgaria .
Ranked 20 out of 24 national teams , our squad could have reached a better result without the injuries of both Sam WOLTER and Chidi DENOVAN in the first two games of the tournament.
The lack of experience of most players, tiredness (1 game per day) and limited rotations were the constraints to make a better result. The last games (vs Denmark or Kosovo) were very close and could have gone in either direction. Luxembourg could have won 2 or 3 games more, but the boys still showed a respectable performance at times and always played with good attitude.
In general, it was a great experience for all players, especially the two young players DIEDRICH Jonathan and CEMAN Dino who were the youngest players in the tournament and can still participate at the U16 Men European Championship for at least one year.
The future belongs to this group of players who need to keep working hard and focus more to reach better rankings in the next seasons.

Schweden - Lëtzebuerg 58-33

Am 3. Match vun der EM an Mazedonien sinn eis Léiwinnen op eng kierperlech staark Equipe aus Schweden getraff. Meedercher hunn sech vun der Physis vum Géigner besonnesch an der Offense ze vill beaflossen gelooss. Och wann Meedercher ni opginn hunn konnten se awer leider keen Véierel fir sech entscheeden. Lo muss deen Match sou schnell wéi méiglech ofgehaakt ginn an dann geet et muer um 14.30 géint Israel an dem leschten Gruppematch em déi 3.Plaz.

Dono ass dann nach een Roudag éiert em Plazen 9-16 gekämpft gëtt. Dem Julie Nilles sengem Fouss geet et esou lues an lues besser, hatt wäert awer wuel leider net méi hei zum Asaz kommen.

An unexpected loss for our U16 national team against Denmark. 19 turnovers, easy missed lay ups and only 16 made free throws out of 32 were the main elements that explain our defeat last night.

Our boys weren't focused enough to come up with the win, especially when we were up by 8 points in the end of the first quarter.

Our boys didn't take advantage of the huge number of the free throws and the fouls made by the opponent, we missed the occasion to increase the gap. The opponent was patient in offense, using only penetrations and hitting some three point shots. The opponent managed to get back and take the lead after a huge empty passage from our side (15-0). In that time, our team missed gave up many open lay ups. Furthermore, the 3rd foul of Gil RECH and Davy DAVID didn't help coach BASIC to find a solution to stop the offense of the opponent who was leading with 35 to 30 at halftime.

The third and fourth quarters were resembling each other. Our squad didn´t manage to come back as we had trouble to score on the one side (missed free throws) and to stop the offense of Denmark on the other side. Our coaching staff tried to change the defense many times, but Luxembourg didn’t manage to take the lead. So finally Demark won the game with 75 to 68.

Our national team will play their last game for the 19th place this afternoon against Kosovo at 15 o'clock (Luxembourgish time).

Fernand Hengel

Slovak Republic 54-59 Luxembourg

A deserved win last night for our squad after a close game against the Slovak Republic National Team.

The 1st quarter was dominated by the opponent who started the game with full court man to man defence and kept the lead from the beginning till the end of the quarter (18-15). Our squad had difficulties to enter the game directly, our rhythm was slow and our defence was not aggressive enough to stop the Slovak offense.

In the second quarter our boys organized their lines in defence and offense and got some offensive rebounds that allowed us to score out of second chances. Our boys could tie the score at several occasions due to the good communication in defence and the quick transition in offense (18-18 ,21-21,23-23 then 25-25). Noe MELCHIOR and Malcolm KREPS managed to make a good execution of the set plays which helped our squad to create open spaces and take the lead by 5 points. Unfortunately, in the last two minutes, the opponent took advantage of the lack of concentration of our boys and succeeded to tie the score at the end of the first half (34-34) after a lucky 3 points shot with the buzzer.

In the second half, our guys were so determined to win this game, they took the lead from the beginning till the end of the third quarter due to an aggressive defence that made our opponent feel uncomfortable in offense. Felix VLAMINCK succeeded to hit 2 three points in a row, while Davy DAVID and Gil RECH assured all defensive rebounds. As a consequence, the gap increased to 12 points (34-46), but the lead was cut to 9 points at the end of this quarter.

The last quarter was as close as in the Macedonian game. The Slovakian team managed to come back in the game (50-53), as we missed many free throws and hesitated to attack their basket. Team effort in defence (aggressively and communication) plus the mental strength of our guys pushed us to a deserved win (54-59.

The will to win of the Luxembourgish Team was decisive in this game. A very important win for our boys who were struggling a bit in the previous games due to the lack of rotations after the injuries of Sam WOLTER and Chidi DELHOMMAIS.

Luxembourg 71-75 Macedonia

Last game in the group D could have been a win, if our guys could manage to keep the ball longer in offense and make the opponent run after the ball. The game was decisive as three teams were fighting for the 4th place in the group.

The importance of this game made our squad start the 1st quarter with a high intensity in defence and run successful fast breaks, which allowed us to lead by 6 points (8-2). Our guys imposed their own rhythm and pushed the opponent to make a lot of fouls. Unfortunately, we didn't take advantage of free throws to increase the gap. So, the Macedonian team managed to get back, equalized then took the lead with 4 points (14-18), but the good defence and the rebounds of Davy David allowed us to end this quarter with a light lead at the sore of 19-18.

In the second quarter, our squad managed to hit 2 three points shots in a row. In defence, we played a 2-3 Zone to close the middle and to force the opponent to shoot. This strategy allowed our guys to increase the gap to 20 points within 5 minutes (42-22). However, missed free throws (0/7) as well as the lack of experience of our players that resulted in bad decisions or turnovers in offense allowed Macedonia to cut the deficit to 13 points at halftime (45-32)

In the 3rd quarter, Luxembourg had again the occasion to increase the gap. However, the lead was cut to 6 due to missed easy lay ups and turnovers. Luxembourg finished the quarter strongly with some good variations in offense (penetrations and 3 points shot) and the lead was back up to 10 points.

In the last quarter, our boys knew an empty passage because of tiredness and their lack of experience (missed easy lay ups, turnovers, no box out and hesitation to attack the basket). The opponent took advantage and equalized at the score of 65-65. Macedonia took the lead two minutes before the end and finally won with 71-75.

A game that could be a win for our boys who fought hard, but unfortunately they didn't succeed to achieve it .
