Everyone was expecting Victor Wembanyama during this match against Canada, but it was the Yabusele / Lessort interior duo that carried the French team to victory.
After the qualification, Wemby paid tribute to one of his teammates.
For a few years now, fans and observers of the French basketball team have been convinced that the gap with Team USA is narrowing, largely because many of our players are now playing in the NBA.
They meet the best talents on the planet on a daily basis, face them several times, which is enough to erase a complex that has existed for a long time.
But this Tuesday, during the quarter-final of the Olympic Games against Canada, it was not our “Americans” who ensured the qualification.
If Evan Fournier was clutch in the last period, it was Guerschon Yabusele and Isaïa Cordinier who carried the Blues offensively with 42 cumulative points, some of which were very important for the momentum of the match.
Victor Wembanyama cash on Mathias Lessort’s level

He relied on his athletic qualities to walk on the Canadian racket, which did not fail to please Victor Wembanyama.

We have perhaps the most dominant center in the EuroLeague with us.
For the first time since the beginning of this Olympic tournament, Mathias Lessort had the right to do Mathias Lessort in the paint.
Like at Pana, with whom he was European champion, the pivot used his physical power to make life hell for Dillon Brooks and his partners.
Moreover, the latter had no choice but to send him to the free throw line 14 times.
After such a demonstration, the fans could only agree with Wemby.
He has already proven it by being the best pivot in EuroLeague for 2 years.
When we see the performance of Mathias Lessort in the racket of the French team, it is difficult to see how Rudy Gobert will be able to find his place again… But isn’t it a good problem to have too many options inside?
