The France U19 basketball team dominated the United States this Saturday in the semi-finals of the World Cup in Hungary (89-86). A revenge for the Bleuets against Team USA, who had beaten them by nothing in the World Cup final two years ago.
A feat with a capital E. This Saturday, the France U19 basketball team signed a great performance during the semi-finals of the World Cup in Debrecen (Hungary) by leaving the United States following a close match until the end (89-86). Led by the new nugget of tricolor basketball Zaccharie Risacher, Lamine Kebe’s players were able to reverse the situation in the third quarter to win by three points and thus take out the double defending champions, who had beaten the Blueberries of a certain Victor Wembanyama in the final two years ago (83-81).
Turkey or Spain in the final
In Debrecen, the 2004-2005 generation, announced as one of the most promising in French basketball despite the absences of Wemby, Bilal Coulibaly, Sidy Cissoko and Rayan Rupert, was carried by Zacharie Perrin (18 points, 9 rebounds, 5 assists ) and Melvin Ajinca (17 points). The performance of the U19s was also closely followed by the “big guys” like Nicolas Batum, who did not fail to congratulate them. “Congratulations guys. Go for the gold,” he wrote on Twitter.
In the final, France will meet Turkey or Spain, who face each other at 8 p.m., to seek their first title in the category. Spaniards that the Tricolors had crossed in hen for a heavy defeat (88-69).
