Lebanon Eliminated From The 2023 Fiba World Cup Group-Stage But Olympic Qualification Is Still Possible
Wael Arakji, who was chosen as the Most Valuable Player of the last edition of Asia Cup, had an exceptional performance, achieving a career-high 29 points leading his country throughout the entire match.
In the first quarter, Lebanon held a narrow one-point lead. However, by half-time, France took the lead, also by one point, 38-37. 21 points out of Lebanon’s 37 at half-time were scored by “Al-Rahib” – “The Fearsom” Arakji. Cordinier had a 7-0 run with a 3-point and a dunk putting France in front in crucial moments. Guerschon Yabusele added 18 points while Evan Fournier scored 17 including three 3-points.
The French team's campaign has taken an unexpected turn, as they arrived aiming for gold but now find themselves eliminated after the first round. Clearly, the classification matches hold little significance for the French squad.
