Ten years following the continental coronation of the band of Tony Parker and Boris Diaw, celebrated before the kick-off by the Béarn public, their successors, led by the European champions still in activity, captain Nicolas Batum (7 pts) and Nando De Colo (10 pts), delivered a diligent and serious score, without any hiccups or a lot of lessons.
“You shouldn’t want to get anything out of this match. It would be a mistake, the trap is quite obvious,” summed up coach Vincent Collet. “Now we have to be willing and able to do the same once morest stronger adversities,” he added.
Wembanyama having skipped the trip to Asia to devote himself fully this summer to the San Antonio Spurs, Vincent Collet was able to count on a very solid domestic sector with the sparkling Guerschon Yabusele (18 points, best scorer and 28 rating ), and the quasi-twin towers Rudy Gobert (2.16m, 11 pts) and Moustapha Fall (2.18m, 8 pts) once morest a limited opponent.
No suspense
The defense, the key sector of all the medals won for nearly 15 years, once once more did its job, first in the second quarter with a 21-0 inflicted in 5 minutes on the Tunisians, followed by a 22 -2 during the next one removing all suspense (75-30).
“We tried to put in place what we had seen in training even if it was not easy because it was not necessarily the opposition we expected”, admitted Nando De Colo, in legs for his return with the Blues.
As expected, the time on the floor was evenly shared between the players (all between 11 and 21 minutes), as was the score with a fine general address at 3 points (50%). Even the aerial Yves Pons, launched for the first time in the international deep end in place of Mathias Lessort spared (ankle), distinguished himself with 5 points scored in 11 minutes.
The Blues will continue their rise once morest Montenegro on Wednesday, “a team which always gives us problems, which has roughness” warns Collet, then once morest Venezuela (August 7), Lithuania (August 9 and August 11), Japan (August 17) and finally Australia (August 20).
They will begin the global competition on August 25 once morest Canada in Jakarta (Indonesia), in group H, which also includes Latvia and Lebanon.
