In difficulty since his arrival in Châlons-Reims, Marquis Jackson signed a huge performance in Angers: 40 points at 13/17, including 9/10 at three points.
It was necessary that to stop the incredible invincibility of Angers at home. It took an irrational performance to deprive the EAB of its 30th straight win at Jean-Bouin. This came from a player who has been particularly timid since the start of the season, Marquis Jackson, far from his Ebroïcien level due in particular to a hamstring injury. Ghostly in his last three outings (5 points at 21% and 2.7 assists), the Champagne Basket leader signed the match for the start of the season on Friday in Maine-et-Loire: 40 points at 14/17 (including 9/10 at three points, once morest 1/13 for fifteen days!), 3 rebounds, 2 assists, 4 steals, 1 once morest and 1 lost ball for 45 evaluation in 34 minutes. Obviously, the Marne team took the opportunity to win (93-81), just to see their balance sheet switch back to positive (5v-4d).
Two records for two years
To find traces of such statistics in Pro B, you have to go back to the 2020/21 season. On October 16, 2020, Cleanthony Early (Antibes) had compiled 41 units once morest Rouen while the future MVP, Parker Jackson-Cartwright (Saint-Quentin), had also risen to 45 in evaluation once morest Lille on March 19, 2021. Two years later, one has just broken the Taiwanese championship scoring record (56 units), while the other is playing in the EuroLeague… And if you want to exceed the 45 rating mark, you almost have to go back eight years (!). At the time, on January 23, 2015, Jean-Victor Traoré (Lille) set his career best: 46 ratings, once morest Fos-sur-Mer.
