LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne picked a great time to tie the club record for the most wins in a Turkish Airlines EuroLeague season as it grabbed lucky victory number 13 to finish off ‘European Heritage Week’ with a home sweep of the final double round week of the season.
ASVEL fought off Zalgiris Kaunas all game only briefly falling behind in the third quarter of an 88-79 win at home. That gave Pierric Poupet’s men a 13-19 record with two games to go.
“I am very proud of my guys. Thanks to AstroBalle. The crowd was amazing. We really have a great crowd at ASVEL. And it’s a good way to show it, to face our history. I am happy to put ASVEL in a good place,” said Poupet, whose team finishes the season with a game at Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz before hosting AS Monaco.

Francisco beats the buzzer! Motorola Magic Moment
The ASVEL players for a second straight game wore a special green jersey to commemorate the team that reached the 1997 Final Four in Rome.
“I think it’s always good to celebrate history with pride and the best face we can have - in terms of behavior, will to give everything on the court,” the coach said.
The 13 wins evened the club mark from 2020-21 when the French side went 13-21. ASVEL had a 10-28 record when the 2019-20 season was cut short due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The club’s record was 8-20 in 2021-22, 8-26 in 2022-23 and 9-25 last season.
The team’s 23-year-old star Theo Maledon led the way with 19 points and talked about the importance of playing in the green jersey in front of the club heroes from 1997.
“This jersey means a lot to everyone. For us too. So we had to show up and show what we are about,” Maledon said.
The guard emphasized that the team is still hungry to add more wins.
“The season may be over but we can still grow as a team. And we tied the record for the most wins in ASVEL history. It’s still a challenge for us to get and that’s what we’re going to try to do.”
Veteran star Nando De Colo is not ready to mail it in for the final two games.
“I think it’s good when we remember what the older generations did before us. The most important thing is what we did as a team,” he said. "We still have two more games. We will try to win both of them. It’s never easy, but we will try to play the right way.”
