The France men's basketball team as the host their weakness began to show in this wave of consecutive defeats - poor defensive blocking ability, poor defensive guard ability, Mills and Giddey are all kinds of breakthroughs, blocking and shooting shots, and finally Mills and Giddey both got 20+ data, these two are the key to Australia's victory.
Mills finished with 24 points, 3 assists, 2 rebounds and 1 steal on 10-of-15 shooting and 3-of-7 three-pointers. Giddey finished with 20 points, eight assists, six rebounds, two steals and two blocks on 7-of-16 shooting and 4-of-8 three-pointers, while Daniels had 14 points, five assists and two rebounds.
Wembanyama played 26 minutes, 7-of-15, 3-of-10 three-pointers, and had 17 points, 12 rebounds, 8 assists and 1 block; Batum scored 12 points, and the France men's basketball team played as a team, but unfortunately lacked an outside attacker.
Wembanyama is actually a ball-handling nucleus in the France men's basketball team, and he even sometimes has to attack from beyond the three-point line, and the future NBA's offensive and defensive superstar is still too immature.
