TJ Parker
(trainer of Villeurbanne, winner of the Leaders Cup against Bourg-en-Bresse):
“It was mainly through defense as against Le Mans
(in the semi-finals, editor’s note).
Bourg has been very strong offensively lately with an average of 95 points over the last five games.
Their effectiveness had to be limited.
We didn't let anything go, we did what we wanted to do.
We won, that's the main thing.
It's the only title we lacked, it's a pleasure, and me too.
The day I leave Asvel, I will be able to say that I have won the three national titles
(championship, Cup and Leaders Cup, editor's note).
It is a pride.
There is a thought for the Asvel club.
The Leaders Cup was really a goal.
We have great experienced players who know how to win finals.
It shows our young people how to know how to win finals.
We put the way because we were dominant.
We were at +26 at one point, that was a big performance.
We must already appreciate this title and rest because we have played a lot of matches in these first five months of the season.
We will see more later.
Players who sign at Asvel know why, it's to win titles.
