Hello.
Eurobasket. France - Poland. We're moving with the host team's plus handicap.
So far, the French team hasn't convinced me completely. They easily took care of the Belgians, but struggled against Slovenia, who don't seem to be in good form, and lost convincingly to the Jews. In general, when Francisco becomes the leader of the team, the national team looks a little awkward. The French are athletic and get a lot of blocks and rebounds, but their shooting isn't at a high level. At least that's how it looked against Israel. The Jews only have 2.5 serious players (Avdija, Sorkin, and Madar) and they managed to handle them. The Poles will have much more weapons.
The Poles, in turn, surprisingly won all 3 first matches (especially surprising was their win against Israel, but it was decided in the last seconds). Jordan Loydowski looks like a completely different player compared to how he looked this season in Monaco. Confidence is overflowing and it's paying off. Ponitka is as solid as always with the national team, and there are also players like Balcerowski and Sokolowski who contribute a lot. It won't be easy for the French to push back, because the hosts have good players to offer.
In general, it wouldn't surprise me if the Poles also win this match, but this handicap looks very appealing. Good luck to everyone who is watching together 😁
