Fournier on fire, Yabusele in the momentum of his match against Tunisia and with an imperial Rudy Gobert under the circle, who even had the luxury of succeeding in a shoot from the parking lot. In short, the signals are good and the team seems to have already found some automatisms. Thanks to a buzzer-beater from Nando De Colo, the Blues are ahead by 5 points at the break 42-37

Some difficulties, particularly collective, are nevertheless to be highlighted in the 2nd and 3rd quarters. The tricolors struggled to take shelter definitively, remaining within rifle range of Nikola Vučevic and his band. The executives responded present and the young leaders also showed themselves like Elie Okobo (12 points) in the rhythm and Sylvain Francisco out of the woods with 6 units and author of a big alley-oop to do the show.

A very serious last quarter defensively allowed the French to lock in a second success in as many matches. A good omen before challenging Venezuela in 5 days. In short, a successful evening for the French team, which continues to work well before the World Cup.
