Incomprehension and anger regarding Marine Johannès in Game 2: “How dare she…
The Liberty disposed of the Mystics this Tuesday evening in the playoffs to qualify for the next round. It was Breanna Stewart who caught fire this time for the New York team, while Marine Johannès… was once again snubbed. Anger is growing among the supporters.
It was very tense, but it passed for the Liberty in this Game 2 of the first round. We had to wait for overtime to see a victory against the Mystics, with a score of 90-85. With a second success in this first round, Sandy Brondello’s players advance to the rest of these playoffs thanks in particular to Breanna Stewart’s 27 points. Marine Johannès? She polished the bench again for the second time in a row.
Uneasiness regarding the situation of Marine Johannès
Indeed, the coach is not counting on the talent of MJ23 in these playoffs, which seems incomprehensible. The Frenchwoman only played 4 minutes in Game 2, time for her to take just one shot… and that’s it. It’s difficult to express yourself with such little playing time. The most important thing is obviously the victory, but the fans are angry.
Great g’for the win and qualification for the Semis!
But I do not understand why in those 2 games, MJ has played less than 10 minutes each. With the games she produced lately it’s not understandable… What is the coach even doing?

Well done for the victory and qualification for the semi-finals. But I don’t understand these two matches. MJ played less than 10 minutes each. With the matches she has had recently it is not understandable. What does the coach do?

I always wonder why Marine Johannès is still on the bench, how Sandy Brondello dares to do that, be serious
And wtf is going on with Marine Johannes’ minutes? At the very least let her spread out the floor she deserves way more time than she gets.

What’s this mess with Marine Johannès’ minutes? At least let her get the game out of the way, she deserves a lot more minutes
Johannès has been excellent in recent weeks with several cards and an obvious impact on the floor. Not counting on her in these playoffs is a huge disappointment, especially since Liberty would have needed her in Game 2. But it looks like the Frenchwoman will have to make do with the bench.
Despite the victory, supporters have difficulty understanding the treatment of Marine Johannès. It must be said that with her, Liberty could have avoided overtime in Game 2. We hope for a change in the next round… or Sandy Brondello will make some enemies.
