00:00For Milipe and her health, and also for the team as a whole to try to continue to advance with
00:06no substitute.
00:08Certainly the odds are stacked heavily against France in this matchup.
00:13The United States coming in with all the confidence.
00:23Alright, let's go then. France USA, last ladies quarterfinal.
00:31Edwards can't convert the jump hook. It's into Leticia Guapo's hands. Limon Song quickly finds Mari Mane.
00:40We missed on her driving a lot in yesterday's play-in game, and now she gets it going right away.
00:46Alright.
00:47Yeah, she's settled for a lot of twos.
00:49Kayla Williams is going to get what she wants.
00:53She opens the score for the United States. Limon Song blows the crib.
00:57No Marie Milipe, so no substitute for France, who are already going to be underdogs in this one, even with
01:03four.
01:05And Joyce Edwards and company trying to make easy work of Le Bleu.
01:1045 seconds in, one-point lead USA. Guapo attacking the basket.
01:26And Limon Song will even the game.
01:29Without a substitute, while getting tired.
01:34Just two and a half minutes in, and active hands from Guapo.
01:38We'll get it to full Wiley.
01:44Oh, Limon Song.
01:47Too fast, too furious.
01:50Right now they enjoy a one-point lead.
01:55Kayla Williams, drive-by shooting.
01:58USA possession, and she grabs on to Limon.
02:09Another backdoor cut on France.
02:11Absolutely not.
02:1555.
02:16Uh-oh.
02:19Oh, goody.
02:20Look at the mini.
02:226'5".
02:24Yeah, Williams cooking in the mid-range.
02:26USA is now up one.
02:30Mané down to Guapo.
02:31Another run-out bucket.
02:33Oh, never mind.
02:36Crib blown by the French.
02:38There's a couple of missed layups that we've seen now.
02:41Fatigue might be coming into play here, as Edwards.
02:44Maybe that's what affected some of these French misses.
02:46We'll see.
02:47They get the ball here.
02:48Limon Song.
02:51They end one.
02:53Races to the crib.
02:54Takes the contact.
02:56Fourth foul on the USA.
03:00So you're saying France believe.
03:09It's a big two.
03:10Yep.
03:11Big response.
03:12Got him a score.
03:13Now she sits down.
03:15Well, Wiley now.
03:17She will slide past Mané.
03:21They have thrown the ball away on their last four possessions.
03:27Full Wiley.
03:29Going full speed.
03:3112-7.
03:36And Guapo, she will sneak behind the defense.
03:39You can see more of that in the middle part of the game,
03:41as you see Full Wiley get to the rack here.
03:43Rick Franz, in this situation, when you're up four,
03:46you just want to give him a layup every now and then instead of fouling.
03:52Still a little bit of a learning curve.
03:56You saw it didn't even use this one.
03:59That's the shot you want, not the result.
04:03Edwards.
04:0613-9.
04:07He's working the post like in post.
04:14And Guapo, she's made it a point to get to the rack.
04:21Williams' precise pass to Edwards.
04:24He's got to finish that.
04:25And she does eventually with a foul.
04:28And two more free throws to potentially add to it.
04:36Great job by Edwards.
04:39USA need to play some clean defense to maintain this lead.
04:43As Mane will miss the 15-footer.
04:47Edwards will do the ball handling.
04:50France nearly stole it.
04:52Look at Mane.
04:55She threw this back like Tom and Jerry cartoons.
05:00That's a long time ago.
05:02Get a couple of these now.
05:04I think I just saw some tears flowing underneath DJ Lass' glasses up there.
05:08Well, those get underneath them pressed.
05:10That's a small pair of glasses that man has on.
05:14French women fall in this quarterfinal.
05:18You want to talk about threading the needle.
05:22Keep on her sewing kit.
05:28That one kicked over.
05:30And Mane drills it.
05:35Ooh, they will sew.
05:38They will sew.
05:41F1 fast.
05:43Final five seconds.
05:45France will get it.
05:47To Mane.
05:50And that will do it.
05:52Narrow win for the USA.
