The men's basketball final at the Paris Olympics confirmed France as the host against the United States men's basketball team.

Cameroonian France-American United States Player Great: Let the boos come harder!

In other words, France is really a magical team, only narrowly defeated the Japan men's basketball team 94-90 in the group stage, but it was crazy in the knockout round:

Beat Canada 82-73 in the quarterfinals and last year's World Cup champion Germany 73-69 in the quarterfinals.

Since the Olympics, the Japan men's basketball team has been the most difficult opponent France has ever encountered, after all, it almost lost, and it is worthy of the new hegemon of Asian basketball.

Unexpectedly, the Japan men's basketball team is out, and some moments in their past can still break the defense of the Chinese men's basketball team and fans.

Straight to the point.

Before the knockout round, France was very underestimated, with poor performances in the group stage and sudden infighting.

The way the main player Fournier angrily played France was wrong and paid the price.

Then the France coach was not to be outdone, saying that Fournier's above remarks were unacceptable and that he must be responsible.

But it is such a team that looks fragmented, but when it comes to the knockout round, it is like two teams, and they have even killed strong opponents, which makes people suspect that their previous stumbles and even infighting in the group stage are all smokescreens.

In fact, France has changed a lot compared to the group stage in the knockout round,Gobert, a four-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year, played stealth against Canada and Germany, playing only 3 minutes and 5 minutes respectively, with almost zero statisticsThis is because he has undergone finger surgery and insists on playing side by side with the team, even if it is a small contribution.

France is the equivalent of giving up one Gobert and dividing his time with others, which has achieved unexpected results.

CBA legend Yabu Sele is the biggest beneficiary, he and Wembanyama formed a new twin tower, playing Canada 22 points and 5 boards, against Germany 17 points and 7 boards, and the two games combined for 39 points and 12 boards.

Let's put it this way, to some extent, Yabusele is the core of France's interior attack, and Wembanyama does more dirty work.

Wembanyama: It's different when the East comes back, I don't know if there are still CBA teams recruiting people now? I also want to improve.

As for Fournier, who bombarded France's way of playing, he was demoted to the bench with Gobert in the knockout round without injury or illness, paying the price for his words and deeds.

Fournier, who can be substituted, started better, such as against Canada when he scored 15 points alone, including 12 points in the final quarter, and was the biggest contributor to the win.

After the game, Fournier retracted his previous remarks and claimed that he and his coach had no ongoing problems.

But in the semi-finals France PK Germany, Fournier still came off the bench and scored 5 points and 2 boards.

It should not be that the coach is still targeting Fournier, but that the original starting lineup against Canada has been carried over and finally proved right.

Fournier, who was known as the FIBA Jordan at his peak, is no longer as dangerous as he used to be as old as he used to be.

However, if France want to perform a miracle in the final to beat the United States men's basketball team, the 31-year-old veteran needs to be possessed by Jordan again.

Otherwise, France will only be a silver medalist, even on its own doorstep.

In the Tokyo Olympics in 21, France only won the silver medal, and the final opponent that year was also the United States men's basketball team.

Of course, not to mention France, the United States men's basketball team is a mountain that is difficult for all national teams in the world to cross.

Fortunately, Janduku will retire from the FIBA stage at the same time, and the United States men's basketball team will not look invincible!
