1. Ene made good calls too late. If he would have made the zone sooner the 3pts may not have happened. So this is a bad decision by coach. So no one on the coaching staff noticed France weakness. That's bad coaching. On offense in Q3 n Q4 Turkey had exhausted France. Instead of trading 3pts with France,Turkey could have passed the ball inside more. Turkey has 2nd best post players(physical ability) next to Spain BUT does not use them efficiently.
2. France obviously is not as disciplined as say Serbia or Lietuva BUT their team has not played the same system for long. Still they beat Serbia and Turkey finding ways to win. There defense communication is superior to most. Look how many turnovers they have forced out of opponents. France has decent amount of discipline especially on defense.France is undefeated and has beat two quality opponents back to back in close games....That is mental toughness
1- Yes if he had prefered zone a bit earlier maybe we could have won , maybe his ego stopped him maybe he wanted to use it as a game winner before he unexpected Parker initiative, I don't know really. I defend him not because he is our coach but because I know him from the days he was playing profesional basketball. He was a very smart PG and his basketball culture was quite developped. I think we should give him some time , we had bad days with Tanjevic too but I believe constancy is important. Turks are very agile to replace coaches when something gone bad. He must be supported . (These I'm saying are not about your point but Ene is started to be debated here in Turkey by the fans -sickos-)
2- Well their defensive play depends on their athletic abilities and pace, they force opponents to turn over that's for sure. But I still think it is Parker makes the difference. We could have defeat them if only we could shoot a little better or we had Tunceri in a better mental status (he seems so reluctant which is definitely not him indeed, he is a couragous player with enthuasism).
I think France will suffer a defeat against Gasol brothers, if we can outrebound them Spain can too and spain forwards are better shooters, besides France will be underdogs in their minds too. I don't know what to say about Lithuania, they were way too good according to the first round. Maybe Vilnius' environment was much better for them. I was mistaken.
Ultimately Turkey and Serbia will play a final for 4th place now , and I don't think 2. games will be important for both. Mentally , it is disturbing.
