To hope to reach the semi-finals of “their” Olympic Games, the France absolutely had a victory against China, who were eliminated from then on. On the Place de la Concorde, the quartet Lucas Dussoulier – Jules Rambaut – Franck Seguela – Timothé Vergiat did not fail to do the job, quickly rolling out their basketball to put the Chinese under water from the start, then not letting them come back until the end.
On arrival, the French of 3×3 therefore prevail without trembling (21-12) and above all, they put an end to their nasty series of four consecutive defeats. Even if they have to wait for the other results of their direct competitors (United States, Poland and Lithuania), the Blues are assured of playing a play-in (scheduled for this evening from 9:30 p.m.) which, in the event of victory, will send them to the last four of the competition.
France's opponent in the play-off is not yet known, however, as the order of the Top 6 is not yet set.
