Tony Parker’s Team France was not strong enough to beat the Gasol brothers today. Marc Gasol of the Memphis Grizzlies and Pau Gasol of the Los Angeles Lakers impressed fans and news analysts today. Marc was Spain’s leading scorer with fourteen points. Pau was the match’s leading player on rebounds (eleven). And Pau dominated on assists (three). Tony Parker delivered fifteen points Wednesday. But after the French lead in the first quarter, the team fell apart.

Russia was lead by Andrei Kirilenko today. The small forward from the Minnesota Timberwolves was the game’s top scorer and produced the most rebounds. He had nineteen points and thirteen rebounds. As a result, Russia easily defeated the inconsistent Lithuanians with a 83-74 score.

Russia vs Spain will play August 10 from North Greenwich Arena, London. They will follow the second semifinals match earlier that day in the same arena.
