The match: a powerful attack, releasing a culprit and a defense permeable
We are far from perfect. But it looks so much like the Blues, who regularly toil for their input regarding their tournaments. Serious early in the meeting, they nevertheless took the match from the right point. Their offensive productivity is also interesting. But with a permeable defense, they squandered an advantage of 16 points acquired in the third quarter. It is not normal. In the wake of its leaders – Tony Parker, Nicolas Batum and Nando De Colo – El Tri have certainly found the resources to resist and give a boost to win in overtime (97-87). However, the final print is more than mixed.
The player Nando De Colo
This is the Nando De Colo we want to see. We know the back of CSKA Moscow in top form after a very solid season in his return to Europe. Former Spurs player confirmed for this first game. Incisive, he guided the Blues with 10 of his 16 points before the break. He also made a key three points at the end of regulation time. But it does not simply scorer. With 16 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists in the end, it is multiplied. And has worked fine over from TP to lead in the second quarter. Auspicious.

The number of balls lost by the French in the first game. With four unique Joffrey Lauvergne. It’s too much for a team that is the title. The Blues do not have the right to let slip many balloons. They know this and will have to make adjustments.
Printing forums: a feast
Excellent. Among the many Finnish fans and the tricolor public, the atmosphere was excellent in this Arena Montpellier. The Park & amp; Suites Arena is kindled when Tony Parker put a basket. The atmosphere is never settled. And when the game became tense, the French fans have stood up to the Finns awakened by the return of their protected. If all the Euro matches have the same atmosphere, the festival promises to be superb.

The declara: Vincent Collet puts a pressure surge
“You can not be totally reassured when a team comes snatch overtime. But we must not throw everything in this game. Simply, France can not be content to make offensive matches. We see that as soon as one relaxes in defense, we thank you for the great team going to have change course “
The question..: should we be worried after that first game?
We will make a response Normand: yes and no. Yes, because the Blues will not go far with this defense. Rudy Gobert will notably have to be more present on the pick and roll. The French will also need another relay to leads to help Tony Parker. No, because it’s a first game. Protected Vincent Collet have already shown they are accustomed to well understand their introduction. In the past they have always raise their game to meet expectations.
This match may just be a good warning. The French were already saying they had no margin before the competition: they got proof this Saturday. To continue to dream, they will have to be more rigorous in defense.
