We are looking to play another crucial game this time against Lyon from 6 pm on Wednesday, and in case we win, we could catch up with them on the table.
We had to take on the fight with the ambitious French club who have a solid background thanks to owner Tony Parker and his investors back at the beginning of November without Briann january who got injured in Girona beforehand. The game began like a dream for us! We held our opponents to 15 points in the first half, and at one point after the break the difference had reached 19 points. However, due to our limited optoins on rotation we got fatigued, and we ran out of energy completely by the end. The home side caught up with us led by the biggest French star Marine Johannes, who has gained reputation in the WNBA in her first season already, and in the last minute they even got the win. It was Johannes who put the final nail in our coffin with a difficult fade-away jumper. Our rivals who have got into spotlight by acquiring and then playing 14-year-old Lithuanian super talent Juste Jocyte are coming tohgether as a team game-by-game. Since the middle of December they have been on a three-game win streak. They beat Kursk, Girona, and even Schio last time out. They sent the latter packing with a margin no less than 37 points, However, they lost a big prestige match in the French league at the weekend playing guests to Bourges, which shows that they are vulnerable coming away from their home court. They average 72 points is scoring, so it will be especially important that our defense work and we be able to stop Lyon from scoring.
Ahead of this crucial game our guard Brian January shared her thoughts with us.

The board of our club has great experience in managing difficulties, but we are facing an especially huge challenge in terms of functioning due to the energy crisis, as well as on a professional level, since Courtney Vandersloot is for now unable to join our team due to personal reasons
Klubunk vezetésének nagy tapasztalata van már a nehézségek menedzselése terén, de most különösen nagy kihívások elé nézünk a működés tekintetében az energia-válság miatt, illetve szakmai vonalon is, miután személyes okok miatt Vandersloot Courtney egyelőre nem tud csatlakozni a keretünkhöz
