In a promising sign of things to come, the NBA Rookie of the Year was all smiles after powerful dunks with both hands in a 96-46 rout of Turkey on Wednesday night. He looked slick as he scored a game-high 24 points and grabbed six rebounds in front of a sold-out crowd of around 5,500 in Rouen. It was the first of six warmup matches for France heading into the July 26-Aug. 11 Games. "Victor played a 'Wemby game.' He was imposing in defense and varied things in attack. It's something we've never really known before in the France team," captain Nicolas Batum said. "It's a great asset for us, one we will be able to use in many situations." The 20-year-old San Antonio Spurs star combined well with veteran Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert in their first outing together for France. The 32-year-old Gobert was named the NBA Defensive Player of the Year for a record-tying fourth time, with Wembanyama second in the voting. "There's still work to be done," Batum said, looking ahead to the Olympics. "But when you have two greats [Wembanyama and Gobert], it helps a lot." There was also some impressive defense from Washington Wizards rookie guard Bilal Coulibaly. France lost 87-82 to the United States in the gold medal game at the Tokyo Olympics, but hopes are high that coach Vincent Collet's side can win gold at home. France is considered among the strongest teams alongside the U.S, Canada, Serbia and world champion Germany. Last week, Wembanyama was asked about the prospect of another France-U.S. final, against the likes of LeBron James and Stephen Curry. "I can't wait to face them. It will be a very interesting matchup," Wembanyama said in Paris. "As a basketball player, it's also a dream to play against Team USA and even against all those players, all those legends." France's first Group B opponent at the Olympics will be the winner of the last qualifying tournament later this week. It then plays Japan and Germany in the 12-team field, held in the northern city of Lille. French basketball is enjoying immense popularity on the back of Wembanyama's meteoric rise and the emergence of new talents. This year's top two NBA draft picks are French -- Zaccharie Risacher (Atlanta Hawks) and Alexandre Sarr (Wizards) -- with Tidjane Salaun drafted No. 6 by the Charlotte Hornets. France joined the United States as the only countries with three players drafted in the top 10 picks of an NBA draft. Pacome Dadiet (New York Knicks) and Melvin Ajinca (Dallas Mavericks) made it five Frenchmen selected overall. 0 61a0e9b3e5376 Chinese Zodiac 683x1024 Chinese Zodiac .webp F372e03de36e475b933aa81e Chinese New Year Is On 1 22 23 Whats Your Zodiac Sign V0 Cyw5zkjfrgda1 ?width=640&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=0ffac0587c64d894adcb6f51c1f814490a98c274 The 12 Chinese Animal Zodiac You Must Know During Chinese New Year Clovis Wood Photography 3LI8zMPWBlg Unsplash E1674461947804 1200x800 Zodiac Wheel 2021 2022 ?w=1600 Chinese New Year 2024 Animal Desdee Lin 1 C4d84ff939855d3c8a35cde77814d709 Chinese Horoscope 2019 2021 2023 2025 Years Rat Ox Tiger Rabbit Vector Id993774374?k=20&m=993774374&s=170667a&w=0&h=bCVWl8H DrbR3XXVvk7MV5aAEbGay2 Lyfaa EdtHig= 1* N0MASf2a6D7lD YU9kaeQ Chinese Zodiac New Year Animals Order 2896464 ?r=1613132061725 35 Chinese New Year 2023 Scaled Chinese New Year Zodiac Seal 102902 2274 22 Chinese New Year Animals 1 Lg 1000 F 212124494 E9uBnp1z1eIKPkuH3E2OiI6XnKUGrepL WAM 2023 Year In Review Featured Image Year Of The Rabbit LIoqkb7RuFgkS Xni32EAkcWt1812ASrPffwqYPZbOWLwDKG0 P4SW1Nq0NE M1nx9jWaBBt5N06vTgBkl2vFhi1 21144618 12 Animal Signs Forecast January 2023 Chinese Zodiac Year Of The Water Rabbit Cover 1500x879 338927575 1715418 1 2023 Chinese Horoscope Year Of The Rabbit Karmaweather 1 A9cb4b9875143b1568ba519ea086af95 Adad11b5f686aff9dfe5c1551a3f6f4b8d22a6db 1024x576
