Nando De Colo, who scored 17 points and dished out 8 assists in the 97-77 victory of the French squad, emphasized the importance of playing with "twin towers".
"We try to work on it every day, to make our team better. This is what the coach wants sometimes, to play with two bigs on the court. This is what we talked about from the first day of the preseason. For sure, it is not the best game we can have right now, but day by day we try to put it a little bit more on the court", Fenerbahce Istanbul combo guard said.
Asked about his leading men, Vincent Collet had nothing but praise: "Nando (De Colo) and Evan (Fournier) are exactly what you call two leaders because they never stop. They gave us the serious manner that we had since the beginning and I think this is very important. We don't want to change anything about that."
