Taking most of the individual glory was their floor general in Tony Parker, who scored 14 points along with a game-high of eight assists. And not to be outdone was of course Nando de Colo, the reigning Euroleague MVP. He led France in scoring with 19 points, eight of which came from the charity stripe.<\/p>\n<p>Parker and de Colo are undoubtedly one of the best backcourt duos in the tournament right now. Both, needless to say, better keep it going as they face a more challenging assignment in the form of Serbia, which also boasts a number of capable offensive weapons in Miroslav Raduljica, Bogdan Bogdanovic and Milos Teodisic.<\/p>\n<h3>Defensive Edge \u2013 France (<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/olympics\/olympic-mens-basketball\" target=\"_blank\">-1<\/a><\/strong>)<\/h3>\n<p>France and Serbia are pretty evenly matched on defense, but the former slightly has the advantage down low with center Rudy Gobert. He\u2019s been doing what he does best, which is to crash the glass send every opponent\u2019s shot attempt to oblivion, during the French\u2019s first two games. In that brief stretch, the Utah Jazz big man is averaging 7.5 rebounds and 4.0 blocks while also pitching in around eight points per contest.<\/p>\n<p>Gobert\u2019s presence alone should force <em>Orlovi<\/em> to rely mostly on drive-and-kick plays and some outside shooting. That should work well for Gobert and co. as long as their opponent for today continues to shoot blanks. Serbia shot below 40 percent from the field\u2014 and 22.7 percent from down town\u2014in its 15-point loss to the Aussies last Monday.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Writer\u2019s Prediction:<\/strong>\u00a0France
