Le joueur NBA français Evan Fournier

Through the collective, the French team managed to defeat Canada (82-73) in the quarter-finals of the Olympic Games this Tuesday.

But Evan Fournier also distinguished himself in this success, and one of his former NBA teammates could not help but comment on his performance.

If observers and fans alike were skeptical ahead of the match between France and Canada, the Blues had no desire to be eliminated.

Touched by grace, they put in a breathtaking collective performance to win this Tuesday, and as a symbol, Evan Fournier buried his opponents’ hopes with his shot close to midfield in the final minutes.

While the tension seemed to be at its peak in the Tricolores locker room following Evan Fournier’s comments about Vincent Collet, the former Knicks guard visibly put his resentment aside for this match.

Author of 15 points at 4/8 shooting, including 3/6 at 3-pointers, 3 assists, 1 rebound and 1 block, he was congratulated by the press, but also by his ex-teammate Josh Hart.

Formerly reunited under the Knicks jersey, the American and the Frenchy spent nearly a year together.

Except that the latter, visibly no longer in Tom Thibodeau’s good books, did not spend much time on the field.

That being said, the fans are very happy that the French tactician ignored their dispute to make him play for 25 minutes.


The French team qualified after a victory against Canada where each of Vincent Collet’s men played their part wonderfully.
