Shamula has been repeated so much, repeated, balanced, rightly and wrongly, that it now has its place in the rich lexicon of position-based sports expressions. However, we will have to be careful with clichés, they tell the truth. Like the one who affirms, in the words of a coach and selector, that nothing beats an intelligent combination to shape an organization before facing a primary competition. Young people capable of disrupting the established order and veterans who are no longer so. It is not necessary to do it every time, it would be too clever, but these are the ingredients chosen by Vincent Collet to form the small group of twelve players called to protect France’s chances in the Olympic basketball tournament.
Among them, a fan who has never experienced the Olympic fight, but who is said to have the long history of world basketball, belongs to him: Victor Wembanyama (20 years old, nine international games). And, on the other hand, a regular in primary competitions, already European champion and Olympic runner-up with Les Bleus, Nicolas Batum (35 years old, 171 caps). A young man and a sensible old man shaking hands to pass higher, what could be better?
With 19 numbers each, the two men contributed greatly to the French team’s victory over Brazil (78-66) on Saturday, July 27 in Lille, in a magnificently remodeled Pierre-Mauroy stadium converted into an air-conditioned corridor. with a capacity for 27,000 people. France-Brazil is a match that makes football fans salivate, let alone basketball fans. However, it is much rarer. The two groups have not faced each other for ten years, which means that they hardly know each other, nor do their respective players: only one Brazilian (Yago Santos) has been playing in the NBA lately, while Vincent Collet’s team has five.
Was it this lack of wisdom from the opponent that caused Les Bleus to slowly start to adapt?”A need to adapt,” says Victor Wembanyama. We were a bit down,” admits Nicolas Batum, who admits to having been “a little nervous” at the beginning of the attack. In fact, at the end of the first quarter the Brazilians (23-23) completely controlled 15), in ancient times we saw all the failures that were noticed in the preparation of Vincent Collet’s team, which accumulated defeats in July: a wonderful clumsiness in long-distance shots, a mess of turnovers (19), desperately confusing approaches, untraceable ball circuits. and reckless risk-taking. ” Some players want to have more lucidity to be safer, it’s vital,” warns the French coach. Against a more powerful opponent, you don’t go overboard.
