DONGGUAN – France advanced to the 2019 FIBA World Cup semifinals and secured a spot in the 2020 Olympics after handing Team USA its first defeat after 13 years.
Axel Toupane agreed that this is the biggest success of this young French squad but also noted that they can’t celebrate just yet: “Probably right now it is but we’ve got a quick turnaround, we gotta play the semifinal and maybe more. So, it’s great it’s amazing, great win but we gotta stay focused.”
Here’s what Axel Toupane had to say about France’s win and the upcoming semifinals:
