FRANCE VS AUSTRALIA🔥🔥🔥 | 2024 Paris Olympic Preparation Game | Full Highlights | July 21,2024

Scott Cummings really on the offensive end. We are off and underway. France win the tip here in Orleans. Near side France immediately go into Wembiana and it's a nice little cut off him to get a good shot. Nothing for it before the big man takes in the loose ball and the cheers of the crowd gets Eddie Mills in an Australian jersey. It's so difficult to slow down as Daniels takes the jumper and buries it. Lose it and here comes Giddey. Josh Giddey moves it on to Mills and then he'll get it back. Giddey's three is good. Great start for Australia then. Six for them. The layup doesn't go. Offensive rebound again. Wembiana just drops it in. And once more to Wembiana. Nice little handoff and a three goes up. First of the game for the French and no offensive. Defensive end though because Daniels is just, you know, gets it from Wembiana. Nice high low action. Front line. Wembiana trying to take it in. Daniels is ready for it. Giddey moves it on. Mills will take the transition. Three. Oh he buries it and a foul. Wow. Australia. It's nothing but a bottom of the net. Great defense. Look at the outlet. Over the top. Giddey to Mills. It's already 10 seconds before they get the first pass. Goes to the inside. Brazza gets an open three. It was not a great offense for France. Exum to Mills. Mills. His triple is good. Wow. Paddy Mills doing it all for Australia. Jumping out. Wembiana gets the three. Doesn't go. Giddey at Gobert. Misses the first one. Gets the second. You see this all about the offense. Kay collects. Exum's got a little bit of a lane. Finds Magne. Magne's finish is good. An offensive rebound and Victor makes some pay. He's off the screen. Finds Green. Green to Magne. Magne lays it up for two. Second unit on the floor for France as Giddey just blows past all of them and glides in for two. Now Ieviseli open on the roll. Smart play. Taking a hard head shot. Bulls comes to Kolo once more. The roll man in little. He gets the finish. He gets the foul as well. A couple of seconds difference between the two blocks but I think that's going to matter too much to France. Here comes Kolo once more. It's been a lot of the ball when he's been on and that's why the Kolo knocks it down. Clock still running. The opening possession. There's Mills out there. Cutting off Landau. Finds Giddey wide open. Thinks about it and buries it. Second triple of the game for Josh Giddey. Turn it over and then do. Giddey started it with a bad pass. No one managed to save it. France knocking down the three. Now Ieviseli. Finds Petun. Petun for three. It's a three-point best here. A loose pass. Turned over. Lesautre all the way with the left hand. Lovely finish but it doesn't go. Australia run the other way. Daniels to silence the crowd. He does so. What a heartbreaker. Lesautre scores once again. Lesautre kicks it. Ieviseli again. A three. And again he knocks it down. Ieviseli eight points after a second triple. Nixon turns the corner on him. And he just manages to hang on to it. A nice finish. It's good. Fournier with the ball. Koulibaly. Gives it to Omenyame. He's met up high by Ryf but too strong. Okay he gives it up. It's fine for Ryf. Ryf knocks down the triple. That's McClay on the pick and pop. Mills pulls up and gets it to go. Nice curl from Fournier. Great work. Thinks about the three. Takes it eventually. And it's taken back for him as he leaves it for Ieviseli. What a first half this man has had. Rich on the doom from Gobert. Goes in. Gobert can't get the block I don't think. This is for the screen. This is his man on the step back. Buries it to the stunned silence. Ieviseli now lines up the screen well. Long two. Banks it home. It was not intentional that's for sure. Chance here. Omenyame knocks it down. What a little spell for him. 12 points personal now. Starting lineup for France. Batoum has it. He's out there for a different unit. Omenyame remains. Also Gobert. De Colo and Strassel. There's Omenyame. Mills comes away with it and lays it up for two. Batoum. That's going to be for Omenyame on the low box. And Daniels takes it away. And Daniels and Green when they get after it defensively. How good are they for Australia? Now Mills as well doing his part. Strassel beats them all though. Kicks it to Omenyame for three. Knocks it down. Well talking up that Australian defense vantage. Kiddy into the lane. Throws it up. Blakeney puts it home. Great possession. Blakeney's had to go out without problems. He's been replaced by Diogre. As France go up high. For Gobert. Kiddy responds quickly the other way. On the floor. He runs into the help defender. Kicks it though. A good find for Batoum who knocks it down. They thought about it a couple of times minus Daniels. Spain's not usually a man to hesitate in that role though. As Kiddy knocks down the triple. Tournier. Tournier skips it. Batoum quick fire catch and shoot. Nothing but string. Delivered over at the point. He's picking pop with Mills. There he is. He's missed a couple. Reeth he's not going to keep missing them. You've got to know the scout Diogre. There he is now. He didn't get the roll but Reeth knocks it down. I love the energy. On three. McVay gets it to go. Oh that's going to do a lot for his confidence. Just really started to get into the game. Apart from Giddy in for Australia. Reeth gets his man off his feet and gets the shot. Myanmar is less sought. And Evan Fournier out there. Obviously has the three. Nothing but string for him. Even though Wembenyama had a sizable matchup against Giddy. Does a great job as he is. Howden will get the score as well. Silences the crowd. Great defense but a lovely pass. And a good cut from Fournier. He could play a head up. Awareness of what's going on around him. Beautiful feed. Giddy another three. Burying it. Like I said he's shooting. He's scoring. Everything has been great for Giddy apart from those turnovers. Four of six. Lissaut gets it deep. Has it blocked? What a defensive play by McVay. Block. Giddy's pass and another loose one. Here comes Wembenyama. Gives it up. Nice pass. Great timing on that from the big man. Snatches it in. Mills for the pull up. How smooth is that? And a little silence in the crowd. Batty Mills. A little float up is good. Maybe still Lissaut gets it. Shot clock got reset to 24 though. So he's got time and he's going to finish it off. Puts back his own miss. Mills to Magne. Magne thinks he's got the step. Gets Gobert in the air but it doesn't matter. Long reach of Gobert can recover. This time the handoff kicks it. Batoum corner three. There's only been one result whenever Batoum has got a corner look here tonight. That's that floor. Kay gives it up. Daniels takes the switch. Two on the clock. Mills has got to force it up again but it doesn't even matter. How good is Batty Mills? That's the jumper. Another one for him. There's Gobert. Gives it to De Colo. De Colo's skip. This time Tilikina. He knocks it down. Now that's been the offense for France. A little Spanoulis type action and they hand it off to De Colo. That's been the offense as a foul is called. The basket's good though. Well the foul I think is underneath the ring. Let's have a look. So the basket is good for Australia. France. Here's Monyama with the ball. Throwing that out for Gobert. Great love for him. You can see that on a foul as well. Tilikina fouled. Three shots. First is good for Tilikina. Makes it to give France the one point lead. Mills denied. Sets the screen. Giddey crosses over. Gets some space. Comes up short. The rebound again will go to Australia. 2.5. You've got 2.5 seconds. Giddey will be the man that brings it in. Oh they've got it under the basket and the score is good. Daniels how did he get the room? Wow what a breakdown. Giddey just gets the ball to Daniels who was inside of De Colo. Before they look to go to the rim from the lob. No one open. They go high when Monyama gets it away in time. But he fails to convert and Australia take the victory here. There's a crowd unhappy at all ends but what a win for Australia. And without Jot Landell in that second half. Now what a step up from that second unit for them showing the depth that they have.
