In the early morning of July 31st, during the Olympic men’s basketball group stage, the match between France and Japan was underway.
In the fourth quarter, Rui Hachimura, who had been performing exceptionally well for the Japanese men’s basketball team, directly pulled down Gobert and received his second unsportsmanlike foul, leading to his ejection.
In this game, Rui Hachimura started and went 10 for 16, 3 for 5 from three-point range, and 1 for 2 from the free-throw line, scoring 24 points and grabbing 3 rebounds.
