A new competition is starting. The France team faces China in the quarter-finals of the Basketball World Cup on Thursday September 29 at the SuperDome in Sydney (10 a.m., live on France 4 and france.tv). Les Bleues want to erase the disappointing defeat in their final group match against Serbia (68-62) on Monday by winning their ticket to the last four, which they have not reached since 1953.
Facing them stands a team in good shape, which has only fallen once since the start of the competition, against the American defending champions (77-63). After holding out in the first quarter (25-25), the French women came under attack from the Chinese in the first half (50-39). Jean-Aimé Toupane’s players will try to turn things around in the second act.
