In a room with temperatures akin to a sauna, the French cadets handily won the Laure Ecard trophy by comfortably defeating the Russian team in the third decisive match for first place: 63-44.
In front of a fairly large audience and in the presence of the parents and younger sister of the one who will always remain in the hearts of Nice basketball enthusiasts, the match played out in only one direction: that of the superiority of the young French players who largely dominated the game, showcasing very promising individual qualities for their future careers.
Hungary secured the third place, leaving the Czech Republic in fourth.
The 8th edition of the Laure Ecard Tournament ended on a high note, with the awards ceremony taking place in a festive and sporting atmosphere.
