For its first preparation match for the 2023 World Cup, the French team did not do things by halves by dominating without trembling a team from Tunisia too limited to be able to compete. (93-36)
Festive atmosphere at the Palais des Sports in Pau on this Monday evening with not one but two French teams! In honor of the tenth anniversary of the victory at EuroBasket 2013, the players who had won the gold were present at the start of the match to receive a fine tribute. The opportunity to see faces who proudly wore the blue jersey for many years, but also to relive the journey of the Blues in pictures before a symbolic trophy lifting.
We return to the current promotion of the Blues because there was also a match to play and a preparation to start in the best way. That’s good, our French showed great seriousness during this match. Apart from a start to the game with some inaccuracies, the Blues have gained momentum behind a simply stifling defense. Tunisia was able to hold a quarter before completely losing their footing, impaling themselves once more and once more on the tricolor wall. Add to that a collective that is good in attack and it gives you a one-sided game.

The meeting already seemed folded at the break with a 25-point lead, but Vincent Collet’s players respected their opponents until the end by playing the game thoroughly. In the end, a victory of 57 points which also allowed the coach of the Blues to make a good test package in his rotations, while sparing the playing time of each other because it is only the beginning of the preparation.
Lots of satisfaction on the French side obviously with a very serious and controlled match. We are obviously waiting to see once morest a more referenced team but defensively it is already very strong. In line with his last competitions in Blue, Guerschon Yabusele was excellent. Nice outing also for Yakuba Ouattara off the bench while Yves Pons was able to celebrate his first selection as it should be by going to say hello to the circles of Pau.

A real collective that fights together, not too many bullet losses, a big victory without getting into the red. We might hardly ask for more from the Blues for this first warm-up match. Next meeting this Wednesday once morest Montenegro.
