Nanterre wins 2015 Eurochallenge, Jamal Shuler named MVP
Nanterre beats Trabzonspor on the buzzer
JSF Nanterre were proclaimed EuroChallenge 2015 champions after a lay-up in traffic by Terrance Campbell at the buzzer lifted them to a 64-63 triumph over hosts Trabzonspor Medical Park in a dramatic final.
TURNING POINT: Nanterre were trailing 63-62 and had the last possession with 11 seconds on the clock. Campbell missed on a three from the wing, the French side kept the ball alive and kicked out to Joseph Gomis who missed from the top of the key, but somehow Johan Passave-Ducteil came up with the ball, kept his composure among a sea of hands and passed to Campbell, who had cut underneath the basket and finished with a reverse lay-up.
GAME HERO: Campbell, a point guard of diminutive stature, rose as a titan in the clutch by hitting key shots when Trabzonspor began their surge. He topped it off in the final play with his inspired cut to the basket and the composed off-the-glass winner.
Jamal Shuler of champions JSF Nanterre was voted the MVP of the 2015 edition of the EuroChallenge Final Four, which took place in Trabzon, Turkey on Sunday.
The 29-year-old Nanterre guard earned the vote of the accredited journalists to the event, who selected the MVP during the big Final between the French team and Final Four hosts Trabzonspor Medical Park.
Shuler had 10 points on 4-for-6 shooting from the floor, three rebounds and two assists in the title game, to help Nanterre prevail 64-63 and lift the trophy.
In the Semi-Final win over Fraport Skyliners, he had contributed 18 points on 5-for-12 shooting, a game-high seven assists and two rebounds.
