France and Canada bring the biggest clash of the Olympics quarterfinals. The hosts aren’t playing well, but all that can be forgotten if they eliminate Canada and go to the semis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The French team survived Brazil 78-66 and Japan 94-90 after overtime, but they couldn’t dodge the bullet for the third time in a row. Germany showed its class against the Gauls, beating them 85-71 and sending the ultimate warning to France before the knockout stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From our perspective, this unit’s biggest problem is the absence of point guards. That’s why Wembanyama often plays one-on-one in some tough positions. Fournier is a sharpshooter, yet he isn’t a playmaker, and that’s what’s killing France.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
