United States-France, the match to achieve a feat

The challenge

It's crystal clear since it's a quarter-final with knockout. The winner will be against Argentina who made a surprise by beating Serbia yesterday, which was considered one of the favorites of the World Cup. It is also for France a unique opportunity to achieve an unprecedented feat. Finally, since only the two best European teams of this World Cup are qualified directly for the Olympics, a victory could give the Blues the Olympic qualification if Australia beats the Czech Republic at the same time. What can we suppose.

The opponent

Two All Star players only in the US team: Middleton (Milwaukee) and Walker (Boston Celtics). The leader Kemba Walker is the best scorer of the USA team since the start of the World Cup. Also follow the hub of Indiana Myles Turner which runs at 11 points average and 8 rebounds. Finally the young Donavan Mitchell (Utah Jazz) represents the new wave of American basketball. Note that the twelve players of the USA team all play in the NBA and they are unbeaten in five games. Finally Jayson Tatum injured against Turkey – and has not replayed since – is very uncertain.

Players to follow

French side, the magic duo in attack Evan Fournier and Nando De Colo. Defensively, we're waiting for a big match from Rudy Gobert. In the USA team, the leader Walker, the pivot Turner and Donovan Mitchell

Tactical

Above all, do not get caught up in an offensive match like Australia. It will be like against Germany, to be very aggressive on Walker who sets the pace for the USA team and who is also important in scoring, In attack, the relationship Gobert who poses the screen for Fournier works so well that there is no reason to change.
