Watching the frontcourt will be the key matchup in this game. The French team's formidable height, courtesy of their pair of seven-foot players, makes them a hard squad to defend. For Japan to stand a chance at victory, they must devise a way to limit the impacts of Victor Wembanyama and Rudy Gobert.
Japan, with its restricted height, will find this challenging. Josh Hawkinson (6-foot-10) and Hugh Watanabe (6-foot-9) fill their center positions. Regardless of their height disadvantage, these two will probably be tasked with defending the center from the Minnesota Timberwolves. As for containing Wembanyama, Japan's NBA players will be called upon. Likely defenders against the current Rookie of the Year include forward Rui Hachimura from LA Lakers and Yuta Watanabe.
