LFB Play-off: Carla Leite in Olympic form for a TGB qualified in the last four

the necessary
The international leader of TGB scored 26 points including an excellent 9/10 on shots and contributed greatly to the qualification of the Tarbaises in the semi-finals of the play-offs.

Coach Jean-Aimé Toupane may well discover that Carla Leite has two hearts and four lungs during the medical examinations planned at Insep, at the beginning of June, for the players called up to the French team for the Olympics. !

Because the performance of the TGB leader is simply exceptional throughout the quarter-finals of the playoffs where she spent 75 minutes on the floors of Tarbes and Bourges without a drop in speed, or almost. Because let’s put it into perspective with this lost ball 24 seconds from the end due to a misunderstanding after a double timeout.

Carla Leite is a warrior

Lack of clarity? Maybe, but whatever it is, it’s hard to hold it against him since Tarbaise has used so much power.

In comparison, her Bourges colleagues Alix Duchet and Pauline Astier played 52 and 57 minutes respectively.

This highlights the incredible range of the 20-year-old who flew through those quarters while also filling up an unmatched stat sheet with 47 points.

Already stratospheric in the first leg with 21 points, 6 assists, 3 rebounds for 25 ratings, Carla Leite further improved her performance in Bourges with 26 points (including a 3/3 3-pointer in the first 10 minutes), 5 assists in 27 rating .

Beyond the effectiveness of the Tarbes leader, Berruyères was able to see how the young girl is a warrior who practically knocked out the opponents with her 3 blocks and 22 (10+11) provoked fouls… Ask the strong interior 32-year-old -ancient Greek, Artémis Spanou, if a contact with Carla Leite is not wonderful!

Tough, elusive in penetration, the European U20 champion, best youngster in the LFB last season and leader of 5 majors 2024 in the LFB, splashed his talent in the Prado room for a historic sanction since Bourges had not missed the last four in 30 years.

Eager to “start from TGB in the best way”, she told us, Carla Leite could well reserve some surprises for her future opponents in the Basket Landes (qualified 168-127 against Lyon, ed. note), “our best friends” for a reunion that promises to be sulphurous.
