11:40 a.m.: The gap is severe because, if the Blues lacked marksmanship, they still managed a solid match against one of the favorites of this World Cup. So, I’ll say it again for the two at the back who were sleeping: if you like basketball (and humor), we’ll meet you this afternoon on Twitch for our show “The Crusaders, you know”. We will receive Sandrine Gruda to debrief the competition of Les Bleues in this World Cup. I count on you !
40th: Basta! Logical victory for China (85-71).
40th : Ah well no, the foot on the line, it will only be two points. It does not change much in the end, it is here the exit for the Blue.
40th : The new three points of Fauthoux history not to sink to the score. -11
39th : In truth it’s false (ouhh it’s nice that), the poor had to forfeit at the last minute because of a calf injury.
38th : “We need a Sandrine Gruda to put points in the racket”, says the commentator of beIN. Well do you know where Gruda will be this afternoon? In our premises for the Twitch show “The crusaders, you know”, that the world envies us. If the Bleues go out, it’s a bit of our fault, sorry as Michel Denisot would say.
37th : Yes Navy! Come on, a little outside shot that comes in, it feels good even if it already seems folded, we’re not going to play the flûtine.
36th : Must clearly forbid Michel to try at 3 points, what a disaster… It is criminal to spin the ball to him out of the racket.
35th: 0/5 to 3 pts (!!!!!) in a few minutes. I’ve never seen such a mess of watering, golf doesn’t get to our knees.
33rd : Bon ben here is what… We don’t fit anything anymore, at three points it’s the Pinder circus, and behind that unrolls my hen. 73-63 China
32nd: Iliana Rupert on fire yes yes yes!!! 5 rank points for the Bologna player.
31st : A big defensive stop and a basket against, perfect to start this last quarter girls!
30th : Finito. 66-58, ten minutes to play. It’s a yoyo match, we come back, we let go, we come back, we crack, we come back, etc etc.
30th : What a mess at three points, we throw absolutely improbable things, 0 chance that it fits…
29th : But what a stupid fault at 3 points from Touré when the Chinese had just thrown an old cinder block… It could cost us dearly.
28th : Bam bam bam, China finds its address from afar. 64-58
27th : Two out of three free throws for Fauthoux, the Bleues return to -2 (60-58)
25th : How hard it is for China to get a basket, unbelievable!
24th: But yesiiiiii again a mammoth defense followed by a defensive rebound, the Blues will have the opportunity to pass in front!
25th : Must say that in terms of shooting skill they were insolent, it couldn’t last forever. It is absolutely necessary to take advantage of these errors to punish.
23rd: That’s it, that’s what we want to see!!! The Bleues fit a little more into the Chinese bacon and it is felt directly, they do not put a point. Great tricolor comeback at -3! (55-52)
22nd : Nice long shot by Marine Fauthoux but it’s only two points. 55-46
21st : The killer stat as the third quarter begins > We took a 14-0 on second balls. We said it, we knew it, if we are not a little more present on the rebounds, we run straight into the wall.
20th : Come on, curtain. +11 for China at halftime. Les Bleues took a fare at the end of the second quarter. If the French are not ridiculous, it must be said, opposite what does it play, attention the pupils huh.
19th : But how did she get there??? Incredible Yan Li since the start of the match, she has us waltzing in all directions. What liveliness in small spaces, mind-blowing.
18th : 8/11 on shots for the Chinese in this second quarter, they are monstrous.
17th: Popopopo this three-point shot again… +11, we’re taking the broth!
16th: Yan Li hurts us in the racket with his skill in the pass. Be careful not to let them fly away, 43-35 for the Chinese. It’s starting to smell like the pine forest there…
15th : On the other hand, putting Marine Fauthoux and her 1.74 m on a large jig of 2 m is average as a defensive tactic.
14th: Festival of three points (on both sides this time), the French cling as best they can. 37-32 China
12th : What violence… It’s hard to put a poor basket when, on the other side, it’s oats outside shooting ‘do you want it, here it is. We suffer, children, we suffer.
11th : Ouch ouch ouch, beginning of the second quarter cata for the Blue ones which have just eaten a 6-0 entry.
10:23 : A good start to the match, a very dirty slump and a big wake-up call at the end of the first quarter, we were thrilled.
10th: AND THEN, AND ALOOOOORS!!! Touré who slaps us with a 3 pts from space at the buzzer to return to equality, that’s good, kid!
9th : Here is the three points of Touré which does good in counter-attack! 24-20
8th: The size deficit is violent in the painting… And behind them are outdoor spaces and it’s watering everywhere at three points. 24-15 for China, we are no longer there touuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut!
8th : While here is the beIN Sport commentator, 8 minutes late. Yeah, I’m an old snitch.
7th: The Chinese fight back and stay on a 6-0 to take the lead, the timeout did them good. 12-15 China
6th : A superb screen from Ciak followed by a crappy loss of ball, emotional lift on the French side and the Chinese who sanction against. 9-12 France
5th: Yes Gabby! 6 points for Williams who puts the Blue at +6! And China, which is already taking a time-out, is a sign that things are not going well for them at the start of the match. 12-6
4th : The Chinese address is not at the rendezvous for the moment, we do not spit on it. Besides, we don’t just spit, it’s not clean.
3rd : Good start to the match for Alexia Chartereau, four points already for the ASVEL player. Les Bleues are in, + 2 France (8-6).
2nd : The key to this match will be rebounds, we know that this is where the Blues have sinned lately.
1st: Let’s go, we want a big start to the match girls!

09:52 : Make way for hymns and then we start the fight.
“We played against her with Montpellier. I remember an action, I was on my bench and Gabby takes a technique after throwing the ball on the ground in rage. There I say to myself “this girl is fantastic, I need her!” » https://t.co/aNSqAtEYkc
