The French basketball team won against Germany (90-66), world champion, on Saturday in Cologne during its second warm-up match for the Olympic Games, three days after an easy victory against Turkey. Facing a Mannschaft deprived of three of its best players, the Blues dominated in the interior sector and in defensive intensity, keystones of the project wanted by coach Vincent Collet. Already brilliant against the Turks, Victor Wembanyama strolled around the Lanxess Arena (25 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists) and asserted himself a little more as the offensive leader of his team, whether at the power forward or pivot position. On the other hand, guard Evan Fournier, very discreet Wednesday evening in Rouen against Turkey, was this time sent off for a bad gesture towards German point guard Dennis Schröder after a scuffle between the two players.
