So I just wasn't thinking about it and I just let it fly."Watch Azerbaijan take on Canada in women's 3x3 basketball pool round play at Paris 2024.
"For her to step up offensively and make every single shot that she took, she's put so much work into getting to this point and she's so deserving of that. There was the opportunity and she rose to the occasion. I'm so proud of her."A robust crowd — including Canadian men's national team captain Kelly Olynyk — took in the game at La Concorde, with many wearing ponchos or holding umbrellas as rain drenched the open-air stands.
