Beaten on the wire the day before against China, on a snack basket, Marie-Eve Paget's partners have still not won in the Olympic 3×3 basketball tournament. Wednesday evening, it was Spain who dominated the French (17-12), unable to stop Sandra Ygueravide, who scored 9 points, or more than half of her team's points. Remember that each of the eight teams plays seven games, and the first six teams will participate in the knockout phase. In short, two wins should allow them to go through, and the Bleues will challenge Azerbaijan late in the morning on Thursday, then Canada in the evening.
Two matches per day now
On the other hand, like the day before, the Blues snatched victory in the final moments. This time, it was against Lithuania, and it was Timothé Vergiat (8 points) who scored the winning basket at the buzzer! Alongside him, Jules Rambaut finished as the top scorer with 9 points. On Thursday, Franck Seguela's teammates will face the Netherlands early in the afternoon, then Serbia in the evening.
