On August 9th, the men’s basketball semi-finals of the Paris Olympics officially began, with the French men’s team avenging their loss to Germany 73-69 and advancing first into the finals.
In the group stage, France had suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of Germany. This time, they came with a vengeful heart but were hit hard right from the start. Fortunately, they managed to catch up successfully and began to take the initiative in the second half. They ultimately held off Germany’s counterattack and secured the victory.
In a similar situation to the previous game, France’s ability to advance to the finals this time can be attributed to the outbursts of three key players, still Cordiernie, Yabusele, and Soleil, who combined for 43 points. Yabusele scored the highest with 17 points for the team, adding 7 rebounds and 2 assists; Cordiernie contributed 16 points, 7 rebounds, and 2 assists, while Lesol added 10 points.
It was their excellent performance that made up for the poor offensive form of other players. The French men’s basketball team will next face the winner of the match between the U.S. men’s team and the Serbian men’s team.
