Euro 2015: The Blues finished on a high note – DirectMatin.fr

The France team basketball completed their preparations for Euro in Germany for a win (63-68). The Blues feature a review of eight successful in ten games.

El Tri are ready. Less than one week of their entry to the Euro 2015 basketball, Vincent Collet’s men finished on Sunday, their preparation by a new success in Germany (63-68). But if they had a lesson last Friday in Strasbourg, these same Germans (76-52), the eighth win in ten games took longer to emerge.

The fault including at a frightening blunder on penalties (4/21 after 13 minutes) which allowed Dirk Nowitzki and his teammates to turn in the lead at the break (38-32). But also to a floor of the Lanxess Arena (Cologne) made slippery by condensation from the ice rink installed in the playground. Conditions that nearly cause the cancellation of the game.

Parker rested

But after the break, the reigning European champions have taken things in hand with a more aggressive defense and a recovered address, driven including Antoine Diot, Nando De Colo and Mickael Gelabale, while Collet had decided to let blow Tony Parker , who has played just seven minutes for fear of the possible injury.

“There was a real fear in the heads. The players do not want to take the risk of injury . Tony (Parker) did not feel the game. He was afraid” said after the meeting before the French coach to take stock of this preparation. “But not yet been advanced enough to be at the expected level. It should continue to progress on the little things that could make us lack.”

El Tri have one week to work out the final details before off to their title defense, starting Saturday , with the first game against Finland.
