If it has joined the Blues on Friday morning on the eve of France, Finland, Leo Westermann has already shown good things Sunday against Bosnia. Enough to blow Tony Parker. An express integration.
9 points at 3/6 by far one decisive pass, 3 faults caused … Leo Westermann perfectly put to his 17 minutes of playing time Sunday night, in the win-shaped cardboard Bleus against Bosnia and Herzegovina (81-54). And when he had played the day before qu’1’37 against Finland (97-87 AD), and remembering that France has joined the group on Friday morning. The limougeaud had been warned the previous night by the staff of the convocation tricolor, following the imbroglio Thomas Heurtel and Antoine Diot package. At least this are some of his teammates who have spilled the beans … “ At first he did not believe me. I was forced to tell him before anyone else anyway! “Evan Fournier slipped. It must be said that the two young men, both members of Generation 1992 as Rudy Gobert, know very well, “ with heart ,” says Fournier same. “ It is very close and it’s one of my few friends ,” said the back of the Orlando Magic.
If Leo Westermann has so acclimatized quickly, so he could not into the unknown. Beyond Fournier and Gobert, he rubbed shoulders with youth teams, as Joffrey Lauvergne (born in 1991), the former resident of INSEP evolved alongside Mike Gelabale to CSP Limoges year. The all while it has almost all the preparation with the Blues in 2013, after a first short passage in 2012.
If is a player who can assimilate in a day, this is Leo (Westermann)
– Evan Fournier
It was still necessary to return quickly in the mold of Vincent Collet. This is even more difficult for a playmaker … “ I am frankly not worried about Leo , explained Evan Fournier Friday before the first match of France to the Euro. If there is a player who can assimilate in a day, it’s him. “” Leo is a smart player, he understands the game , “confirmed Rudy Gobert. His comments confirmed by the provision of Leo Westermann Sunday even though the opposition was not necessarily more difficult.
The fact is that given the context, with so little time to put in the bath and after an average season, the person can only be satisfied: “ I had a lot to digest in a short time , he acknowledged after Bosnia. I have made great progress. Tonight (Sunday), the gap allowed me to work on systems that I did not know necessarily with my teammates. In two days I had over thirty systems to learn! It is not obvious … Since I arrived, my teammates help me a lot, they talk to me, either Joffrey (Lauvergne), Evan (Fournier), Tony (Parker) or Babac (Boris Diaw). They give me things, I defend and I try to be a good complement for Tony. So it’s sure that when I have two or three meters to shoot, I will not deprive myself. These are good shots to take. Now I am fully in this Euro . “
Good news for Parker
Good, because the France team will need its Bench to advance and especially to keep his cool when executives cleavers matches. Finally, the stat most impressive Leo Westermann is perhaps the game time … Tony Parker, who has spent twenty minutes on the floor Sunday night. “ Leo was huge , provides” TP “. He put the open shots, he played without pressure. This is what we need. Our bench has been very successful and it has to continue like that throughout the competition. I could breathe. It’s awesome. 20 minutes in the first round, it’s perfect . “
Moreover, Westermann is not the only player to have shone the bench Sunday. We think of Joffrey Lauvergne but Charles and Florent Pietrus Kahudi. “ The contribution of the bench is fundamental. We can not hope to go far in a European Championship seven. It’s not even worth thinking , said Vincent Collet . Leo Westerman basketball IQ above average. We see that it is not obstructed by forms of gambling. In addition, he had the good idea to open fire. It’s interesting. We know it can be skillful. If it puts us one or two of three points every time, it would be a real contribution. This is especially valuable to be able to blow the five that had pulled over a little more this Saturday with unwelcome extension. Three games in three days, it’s complicated to handle for any team . “
