After its quarter-final disillusionment against Italy, France had to react to its intimate Spanish enemy and it is done. Once again the blueberries owe a proud candle to their superman Nathan Soliman author of 17 points and 9 rebounds in the first half. For four minutes, the Spaniards took the lead in the scoring before undergoing the yoke of the French in the third quarter, these leading a moment of 19 points and then from 17 (70-53 in the 30th minute) with 20 Spanish ball losses.
The blueberries have kept a sustained pace in the last 10 -minute slice to afford a comfortable victory. Nathan Soliman concluded his day with a double double XXL: 26 points and 18 rebounds plus 4 assists for an assessment of 37. We can also note the 17 points and 9 assists of Aaron Towo-Nansi and again the 10 points (5/7 to the Shoots) and 8 passes of César Thénawha Nougha.
Blueberries must now put in step this Saturday the winner of the Turkish-style dam match and they will have completed their contract …. even if the frustration is great not to play for the title.
The boxscore is here.
