Ideally you're braking to the apex and transitioning to throttle from the apex. So, you're slowing the bike in the turn and not before the turn. In order to accelerate through the turn you would have to slow the bike down more than needed up to the point of the apex. Then accelerate to the correct speed at the apex losing time on the front side of the turn.
