You have been used to it for a few years, at each gathering and/or international competition of the French basketball team… we have the right to the insides a few days later, just to feel integrated into this very special group, to this group which wins a very large part of its matches. The last international window didn’t cut it so make yourself comfortable, engine running.
It’s a new sweetness made in FFBB, it’s once again Tommy Hombert who delights, and these 20 minutes will allow you to follow the last campaign of the Blues as if you were there. Two matches, one in Prague and the other in Trélazé, two victories, and two more proofs that with an A, B or J team, France remains one of the bosses of European basketball. No NBA player, no Euroleague player, just “second knives”? Let me laugh. Victor Wembanyama in the lead, Vincent Collet’s men withstood a catastrophic start against the Czechs and the Lithuanian trap three days later to end this qualifying phase with great fanfare, the Vic hit the all-time rebound record in a match in the first match, Bodian Massa, Hugo Benitez, Nicolas Lang, Yoan Makoundou or Sylvain Francisco did the job, and so here are our Blues, probably seeded at the next World Cup in September.
Mission accomplished ? Mission accomplished and everything is in the box. So scrutinize all this carefully and if you are attentive enough, you may see a “little” man who should make France happy in the coming years.
