It’s not the NBA, it’s FIBA. A trainer must do more than dress well to succeed in his competition. Boomer hat? Yeah, completely.
Sunday evening under the fleet, like an idiot in his bath.
This evening, Vincent Collet probably knows he is in danger. This elimination after only two World Cup matches belongs to him. It is a great roommate, of course, with the players, the federation and the bedbugs of the Royal Sonesta of Jakarta, which would have encouraged the French coach to shorten his stay in the Indonesian capital. But, in the wake of all the small and big faults to list, Mr. Collet made his mark.
Even before the tournament began, the composition of the list of twelve Blues summoned for the occasion posed a problem: only one real post 1 referenced, in the person of Nando De Colo. Aging and a bit on the decline with ASVEL, but let’s move on. Behind ? Sylvain Francisco, promising on the preparation but unknown to international competitions. Injured in the thigh, Frank Ntilikina was forced to forfeit this World Cup. To replace him, Vincent Collet summoned… Isaïa Cordinier. Post absolutely not for post therefore, and the interstellar snob of the double dimension that Killian Hayes could have brought to this group. Bulky defender, striker capable of lightning strikes in transition: the France team scored the vast majority of their points from set play.
In the game now, Vincent Collet failed to animate the tricolor attack. Nothing very innovative. Evan Fournier, as the one and only remedy for the 23 seconds of possessions spent looking each other in the eye and saying: “Go ahead Guerschon, try to go over the shoulder, you knew how to do that in Tokyo”. On the other side of the floor, the France team never stopped looking for each other, without ever managing to get out in time on open 3-point shooters. At this distance, Canada had a thousand opportunities. Latvia at least as much.
Dead times. vast subject of timing. If the Blues take on water, it’s because they are bad on the floor. But, as against Canada, Vincent Collet hesitated too much before calling everyone on the bench: +12 France, +10, +7, +4, +2… time out! And even if it means doing it twice in a row, you might as well break the sequences in which the Latvian rouquemoutes take themselves for Ray Allen.
For the rest, no size adjustment. Rudy Gobert was little put forward, and served directly at the post when he does not know what to do with the ball. At this point, and to serve him in conditions that favor him, the play in the triangle position 1/2 – Yabu – Gobert was non-existent. However, we really enjoyed it in Tokyo. It had almost become the hallmark of this team. Moustapha Fall also knew how to take advantage of it. what a baby. Curtain draw on a badly evolved continuity of what the Blues have produced in the past. One year from the 2024 Paris Olympics, heads will probably jump. Vincent Collet? No. It may not be desirable to reshuffle everything less than 365 days before the most important event in the history of this team.
