NBA/JO – Benched, Draymond Green savagely destroys Rudy Gobert: “He’s really a…

Rudy Gobert, Français quadruple Défenseur de l'Année en NBA, et Draymond Green, légende des Warriors

Although he is on leave, Draymond Green is keeping a close eye on the Olympic Games.

It did not escape his notice that Rudy Gobert remained on the bench for almost the entire match between France and Canada on Tuesday.

The Warriors superstar was therefore happy to tackle him.

The biggest thunderbolt on the French side this Tuesday was undoubtedly at the Accor Arena.

While they were far from being favorites against the Canadians, the Blues managed to qualify for the semi-finals thanks to a great victory.

If this team was congratulated for its high-flying collective performance, we cannot say that Rudy Gobert was the most impactful player of the match.

Knocked out of the starting 5 by Vincent Collet for this clash, the Wolves center only played a total of 4 short minutes, during which he added just 1 rebound to the stat sheet.

His nemesis Draymond Green is on hiatus waiting for the NBA season to resume, but as we heard in his eponymous podcast, when it comes to criticizing the quadruple DPOY, he doesn’t take a break.

Rudy Gobert on the bench, Draymond Green speaks out mercilessly

That Joel Embiid would sit on the bench for Team USA for an entire game was crazy, but I get it.

It seems crazy for any player on that team, but everyone is playing well, so I can understand it.

But sitting on the bench for any other team in these Olympic Games as an NBA player is really crazy.

France is experiencing a really interesting turnaround at the moment. Apparently Rudy Gobert underwent surgery on his finger.

The French coach claims that his match-up was a problem, and that’s why Rudy didn’t start… Because of his direct opponent. But for Rudy, it’s because of his finger.

We don’t know what’s true.

I have no reason to think he’s lying, except that the coach said it was because of the match-up. And on top of that, Guerschon Yabusele (…) assured.

I had warned the Canadians that France had good big men. In FIBA, that’s essential.

You don’t need to be a super imposing interior, but you have to know how to play well in this position and protect the racket.

Mathias Lessort also had a good game.

He’s probably better than Rudy.

And the second Gobert came on, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander started hurting them. We don’t really know what’s going on internally in this French team, there seems to be confusion.

Regardless, the players who were supposed to be weaker played well and France qualified.

After Rudy Gobert was benched during the Blues’ success, Draymond Green couldn’t see himself staying silent about it.

He even went so far as to compliment Guerschon Yabusele and Mathias Lessort to better sink the former Jazz player.
