A year ago the Tokyo Olympic tournament began, with a huge poster for the French team, against the United States, on a series of 24 consecutive victories at the Olympics, i.e. since 2004. But the blues had struck a great blow by dominating the men of Gregg Popovich 83-76.
They had won the 3rd quarter 25-11, before taking a scathing 13-1 at the start of the last quarter, which we thought was fatal. But in the wake of a huge Evan Fournierthe blues had passed a 17-5 to finish the match and win against Americans KO.
Evan had released a monstrous match with 28 points at 11/22 including 4/12 from afar, including the 3-point shot to pass in front at the end of the match. Rudy Gobert had been solid with 14 points at 5/6 and 9 rebounds while Nando De Colo added 13 points at 4/11, 5 rebounds and 5 assists. The defense had held the United States to 36% like a struggling Kevin Durant, author of 10 points at 4/12. The best American was Jrue Holiday with 18 points at 5/13, excellent at the start of the last act. Bam Adebayo compiled him 12 points and 10 rebounds.
