It was expected and Victor Wembanyama (24 points) did not disappoint! Neither did the French team. Facing Turkey for their first preparation match before the Olympic Games, Nicolas Batum’s teammates put on a real show of strength (96-46). Of course, the number 1 in the 2023 draft is no stranger to it, his association with Gobert notably disgusted the opposing attackers at the start of the match since the Turks had to wait more than six minutes to score their first points in the game, but Guerschon Yabusele also stole the show. The former Rouen Métropole Basket player put on a real show with 14 points and 18 evaluation in 15 minutes and increasingly spectacular actions.
Eight points for Malédon
Norman Théo Malédon was rather discreet but he did fill the scoresheet at the end of the match (8 points, 15 evaluation). Vincent Collet’s troop, who will soon have to part with four players, is therefore starting its preparation in the best possible way, before traveling to Germany, Saturday July 6, 2024, for the second of six friendly matches on the program, before the start of the Olympic Games, scheduled for July 27 for the Blues.
