The 34th and last day of Betclic Elite is played this Tuesday evening. If Monaco is already guaranteed to finish in first place in the regular season, the suspense remains with regard to second place, as well as the last accessit for the play-offs.
Because there is no one in life except Victor Wembanyama and this NBA lottery which will lift the veil on the franchise which will welcome the prodigy for his big debut in the NBA… Of course, the event is mainly in the basketball news in France as well as across the Atlantic, and it will probably only be a question of the future jersey of the Mets star in the bays of the Palais des Sports Marcel-Cerdan this Tuesday evening while Boulogne-Levallois and “Wemby” will try to obtain a new victory. , during the derby against Paris Basket. Because this Tuesday will also mark the lowering of the curtain on the regular season of Betclic Elite. And if this 34th and last day no longer presents a lot of challenges, the suspense nevertheless remains on certain floors.
Everything is not yet decided at the dawn of this final pre-play-off evening. This 34th day will in particular answer two essential questions: who will finish second behind Monaco and who will get the last ticket for this final phase. The deal is simple. To date, only Boulogne-Levallois and ASVEL are still in the fight for this runner-up seat behind a Monegasque team that has been certain for a while now of finishing the regular season in first place (the Roca Team has four more victories than the Mets and five more than ASVEL).
Paris-Basket in the fight with Gravelines-Dunkerque and Strasbourg for the last ticket
The ball is however in the camp of the Ile-de-France residents. In the event of victory, this Tuesday evening against their neighbors before all spinning in shuttles in Paris to attend the NBA lottery, the Mets will be guaranteed to finish second, in front of the proteges of Tony Parker, who will travel to Bourg-En-Bresse . On the other hand, in the event of success for the triple champions of France and a setback for the Mets, it is the Villeurbannais who could snatch second place from Wembanyama and Boulogne-Levallois at the cost of their card (86-69) last March in the Rhône against their rival.
Hoping in this case for ASVEL that Dijon (4th) will not win at Portel. Because that would create a three-way tie in which the players of TJ Parker could prove to be the big losers. The other challenge of this last evening concerns the 8th place, and ultimate ticket for the play-offs. Paris has its ticket in its pocket today but this 34th day could allow Gravelines-Dunkirk (9th) and Strasbourg (10th) to play a nasty trick on the men of the capital. The Northerners receive Nancy, while the Alsatians, who must count on defeats from their two competitors to have a chance of facing Monaco in the first round of the play-offs, move to Roanne.
