The French team advanced today (Friday) to the EuroBasket final that will take place on Sunday after defeating Poland 54:95 with a powerful defensive display that has not been seen for a long time.
France will meet in the final the winner between Germany and Spain who will meet later.
Poland, the surprise of the tournament, will try to make amends by winning the bronze medal in the third place match which will also be held in two days.
Poland, which stunned in the quarter-finals when it eliminated the European champion Slovenia with an impressive display and with 90 points, stopped at halftime with a rare number of only 18 points.
The Poles remained powerless against the defensive positioning of France.
The French, who advanced to the semi-finals after winning games they had already lost, this time demonstrated crushing basketball on both sides of the court and this game was already over at the beginning of the third quarter.
Poland probably ran out of magic in the semifinals in a game in which she scored only 17 field baskets.
The French scored 15 three-pointers at 60 percent, made seven blocks and handed out 32 assists.
Above all was Gershon Yabusla with 22 points, Eli Okobo and Evan Fournier scored 10 points.
In Poland, no player reached a double-digit number of points.
