Le Portel in Freefall: Heaviest Defeat in History

Le Portel, a historic French team, is experiencing a disastrous season in the LNB. After 17 games, they have 16 losses and are on track for relegation.

Their defense is abysmal, conceding 94.8 points per game while scoring just 76.8. In their last two games, they lost by 46 points to Villeurbanne (104-58) and by 63 points to Paris (120-57), the heaviest defeat in their modern history.

In the second quarter of the game against Paris, Le Portel scored only four points. The schedule includes difficult matches against Monaco and Strasbourg.

Behind the collapse are serious financial problems. The board announced that they are looking for "professional doctors," and there were times when players did not have access to medical care. Despite the difficulties, the marketing department is optimistic and announced a reduction in ticket prices.
