Its not the first time France has gotten host treatment. VS Brazil they were getting many questionable calls that allowed france to pull away and take a win.
The officials were insanely biased towards France, the home team, in their game against Germany aswell, especially in the 4th quarter. Every slight contact with a French player was immediately called as a supposed foul while very clear and obvious fouls against German players went uncalled.
Kawamura is really a good point guard. He can pass very well with his slashing ability. He is even good to be paired with unicorns like Kai Sotto, Chet, and Wemby. He is like an asian Chris Paul who can help a team in scoring. He can really play in NBA because of his lob passing ability. Kai Sotto was able to score 26 points many times because of Kawamura's playmaking abilitues.
I hate how France got away with this one, that play was clearly not a foul, and they did not play well and do not deserve to win. Ref bailing out a team that should be way better than it is.
you're a way bigger person than me... i just gave up on covering games or players not being able to put actual game footage but you found a way around that so i truly mean it when i say i salute you
bro youve been cooking recently with videos, and theyre getting hella views. great to see you get some real recognition after many great videos produced by you.
FANTASTIC video, finding your channel was a blessing the olympics gave me, im glad to see someone, an american, enjoying like me. I never thought i would enjoy international games so much, im more eager for the next ones than the nba games, theres so many more players and possibilities this way. Like, when we would have thought the tallest star ever and the shortest player would have an even match??? Different countries have to bring and develop what they got but if it's only one like usa guys like Yuki are filtered out. The future looks bright. Im Brazilian but my heart is almost all for japan, im rooting for them (even though they're apparently winning everything in the olympics lol).
@@陈晰然 I'd have to disagree, If Sotto get a good significant mins he's a Double Double easily, ain't gonna lie he might be 1 tier below Wemby cause if Wemby gets good looks in a game he's a Triple Double kind of player. Kai Sotto prove in Olympic Qualifiers that if he gets good mins he can be a Double Double for the long run
Also reminds of when a little-known Japanese automakers dared to enter the US auto market, taking on giants like GM, Ford, and friends. Even in the Japanese American community back then, we said “What the heck is a Toyota???” (snicker). The rest is his.😢
@@jaymoe3844 Wasn't being literal, I was making light that there is talent out there that is better then Bronny. I'm surprised NBA scouts are not looking in more places to find exceptional talent.
@@jaymoe3844 Because I feel nepitism is bad for any organization. I want to watch a league that is built on finding the best players to compete at the highest level. I find elitism repugnant. The future of the NBA is turning into elitism, no longer can a kid work their way from nothing to the greatest stage on Earth. As more and more start using the league to get their family members spots on rosters as tool to negociate contracts, only hurts the league and the sport as a whole. The more that speak out against it the better chance we have at saving the foundation of what made this league great.
@@paladinr3016 there are 120+ international players in the nba this year.... compared to 1992 which was only 20. kawamura is 23 years old compared to bronny which is 19yo. bronny the number 55 draft played far far better than the number 2 draft. not everything is so simple as you first see it. just as much as you mention that there is nepotism and elitism... there is also as much bias or singling out coming from you.
Yeah, people think being short in basketball means its harder to score. Maybe, but real problem is short people cannot defend as good as tall people and always be a liability on that end.
Nahh even when ejected they should've won. That contest was good defense. Yes the defender was with in the shooter's space but there was little to no contact on the shooter even until landing. That was a bs call especially in Olympic's standards on calling fouls
@@speechless1887he wasn’t in his landing space either tho if you watch it in slow motion that dude kicks his leg out to make it seem as if he was pushed and make him look closer to his landing space then he was
You said Kawamura at one point when it wasn't so clear, and I went 'since when does Figure Skater Kao Miura play basketball?' Obviously I knew that wasn't what you were talking about, but my mind went there and I laughed. Because if Yuki is small for basketball, Kao is even smaller at 5'5.
It was French culture and you and foreigners had no right to argue as the French were always perfect and nothing else. I have experienced it in France for 20 years. today it shows in sports
there's a different angle during the game that showed that there was a push, a slight one, i'll give you that, but a push nonetheless. and the refs will always call any contact on a shooting motion a foul. i'm sure there are other videos here on RUclips on that. having said that, it could also be considered marginal that i could understand if it wasn't called.
8:10 Wait until you see vball rules where messing up positions or substitutions can make you immediately lose a set, or worse, a match. Talk about draconian! In this case pulling an arm kinda feels like cheating, i would have to think more about it.
lebron full on shoved a player out of bounds, no issue....rui was ejected, fiba is just like the nba, they find ways to affect the game through special treatment...stacking the deck to get the team they want in the winner circle
Idk why, but I just genuinely dislike Gobert... He's not a bad dude or player I just hate watching him play lmao like I literally am a fan of Ben Simmons before I am Gobert.
Good video man, yeah, in general I think the referees were good until that 4pt foul. And the bad decision of the coach of japan to waste his challenge way early in the game.
I’m not siding the France team, but the referee called it foul because he was too close for the shooter to land, and that’s can create an injury to the shooter.
You just called Rui Japan's best player?? 😆 Why, because he's in the NBA? He's a defensive liability every team he's on! And NBA is no indication of quality, just see how Europe was much better in 92 with far less NBA players. Croatia & Spain were better than all of today's teams other than Canada, and even that's not certain for 92 Croatia, and their players were not (yet) in the NBA. Consider this: 92 had *_Arvydas Sabonis_* in his prime for Lita, not yet NBA!! Also on 92 teams were Kukoc, Petrovich and so on, all still young, and before joining the NBA. Rui's a scrub everywhere, NBA gives him zero notoriety.

He did cook the French team. Until the officials sided with the home team.
the referee should get fired and the truth is that France lost this game. There is no pride in winning using these filthy methods

Is average, 5'11 is considered tall in Japan
