We have to pay attention to these three players, they are very important for the team and Sunday's victory depends on them. First, forward Evan Fournier (# 10), plays with the New York Knicks of the NBA, in the tournament he has managed to average 15 points, 2.5 rebounds and 3 assists. He is the team's top scorer and his offensive presence is very important for France. Another player is point guard Thomas Heurtel (#4) who plays for Real Madrid and is the team's biggest assister. He is averaging 7 points, 2.5 rebounds and 6.5 assists per game. Finally, center Rudy Gobert (#27) is the team's top rebounder and averages 11.3 points, 9.3 rebounds and 0.3 assists per game. He will be very important defensively and we have to keep an eye on him.
Just like Spain, France has had an incredible tournament. France started in Group B and was the first place in the group. In the round of 16 they faced Turkey and came out the winner, in the quarterfinals they beat Italy 93-85, in the semifinals they managed to defeat Poland and thus advanced to the grand final. So far they have had a good tournament and their goal is to win. Their last game was against Poland, where France won 95-54 and that way they got their ticket to the final. They arrive as favorites to win the game because of the good team they have and the good time they are going through.
NBA player Willy Hernangomez (#14), the Spaniard plays for the New Orleans Pelicans of the NBA. He has averaged 17.6 points, 6.8 rebounds and 1.1 assists, making him the team's leading scorer. He is the most important player in Spain and is responsible for leading the team to the final of the tournament. Point guard Lorenzo Brown (#2), plays for UNICS Kazan and is the team's biggest assister in the tournament. He is averaging 15.4 points, 2 rebounds and 7.1 assists per game. It will be very important for Spain to win on Sunday. Finally, the player Juancho Hernangomez (#41), plays with the Denver Nuggets and will be very important to score points. He is the team's third-highest scorer and third-highest rebounder on the team after averaging 11 points, 5 rebounds and 1.1 assists. The three players are considered key to Spain's offensive attack and the responsibility of the team falls on them.
The Spanish team played in group A with Turkey, Montenegro, Belgium, Bulgaria and Georgia. He advanced to the next phase after being the leader of his group, in the round of 16 he beat Lithuania, in the quarterfinals he managed to defeat Finland, he got his ticket to the final by beating Germany in the semifinals and it is expected that tomorrow he can be the tournament champion. Their last game resulted in a victory against Germany, the Spanish national basketball team won 96 to 91 points and thus Spain advanced to the grand final. They arrive as the least favorites to win this game, however they could surprise the tournament and defeat France on Sunday.
