Net winners of their opponents since the start of the Euro U20, as evidenced by their wide success in the 8th round against Poland (89-55), the Blueberries had to deal with a tougher opponent this Thursday. Mistreated in the first half, the French still signed a good second half to win (82-73) against Serbia, in the quarter-finals. Guillaume Vizade’s players will find the winner of Turkey-Greece in the semi-finals.
Behind by four lengths (41-37) at the break, the Bleuets were able to rely on a good Adama Bal (18 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists) to face the Serbs led by Nikola Saranovic (20 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals).
Les Bleuets came back level with the Serbs for the first time in the third quarter (50-50, 25th) thanks to a furious dunk from Armel Traoré, before falling in the lead and getting their hands on the match with more skill than their opponents.
