At 3 a.m. on July 23, 2024, basketball fans around the world are eyeing the warm-up match between the men's basketball team of United States and the men's basketball team of Germany. In the last World Cup, the United States men's basketball team was blocked by the Germany men's basketball team in the semifinals 111-113 at the door of the final, and this battle has a strong revenge color.
As soon as the opening whistle sounded, James broke the deadlock for the United States men's basketball team with a flying layup, and cheers broke out in the stadium instantly. Fans in the stands were clearly looking forward to the game, with one netizen excitedly writing on social media: "James is still that James!" This slam dunk is so exciting! ”
However, Germany responded very quickly, leveling the deficit with a three-pointer. After that, the two sides entered a fast-paced battle of attack. The Germany men's basketball team played very aggressively and at one point overtook the United States team in the score. Germany's core Schröder and Junior Wa were eye-catching in attack, making the pace of the game even more intense. Fans discussed the performance of the Germany team on social platforms, and one netizen commented: "The Germany team is really fighting, Schröder's three points are really stable!" ”
The United States team was not crushed, though. Holiday and Edwards began to work in the middle of the first quarter, scoring consecutive points to help the United States men's basketball team achieve a rebound. At the end of the first quarter, the United States men's basketball team led 29-19. United States fans in the stands also began to cheer up, with one fan happily tweeting: "The United States team has finally found its form, Holiday and Edwards are really amazing!" ”
Entering the second quarter, Germany's counterattack became more and more violent. Violent dunks and three-pointers allowed them to gradually close the gap. Although Edwards and Curry continued to score for the United States, the Germany team continued to narrow the gap through free throws and three-pointers. At halftime, the United States men's basketball team had a narrow lead of 48-41. A netizen left a message between the games: "This game is really hanging, the United States team must come on!" ”
After the start of the third quarter, Germany's performance gradually gained the upper hand, and at one point overtook the score. The United States men's basketball team, led by James and Embiid, struggled to stabilize the situation. James is constantly instigating offense on the court, while Embiid is also strong on the inside. However, Germany launched a 5-0 attack at the end of the quarter to take the lead again. At the end of the third quarter, the United States men's basketball team trailed 68-71. An United States fan wrote on the post-match forum: "Germany is really difficult to deal with, we have to fight hard in the final quarter!" ”
The final quarter of the game was in full swing, with Davis' score helping the United States men's basketball team tie the score. The two sides went back and forth, and the score took the lead several times. At the critical moment, James and Embiid stepped up and contributed key points to help the United States men's basketball team complete the comeback. In the end, the United States men's basketball team won the game by a narrow margin. A netizen said excitedly: "This game is so exciting! James and Embiid are so crucial! ”
In this tense and exciting game, James and Embiid stood out. James not only scored 20 points, but also grabbed six rebounds, dished out four assists, and also had one steal and one block on the defensive end. His all-round performance made people feel that he was still the master of the field, and every score, every assist, silently moved the course of the game. In the final minutes, James' back-to-back scores at key moments nearly sealed the win for the United States, and that's when his leadership and composure were even more important.
In addition, some netizens commented: "James's warm-up game is really a 'battle god', and the critical moment really lived up to expectations and saved the game." However, there are also a few minor flaws, especially in the last few minutes, although James' performance makes people feel that he is really a god, but there are a few dribbling errors and conceded balls that are still a little worrying. Overall, James' performance today was really impressive. ”
Another netizen was less optimistic, writing: "To be honest, this is just a warm-up game, almost overturned by Germany, it's really a little scary. It would be terrible if the race was like that. I think no matter how hot James is, he can't hide the embarrassment of this game. No matter how good he is now, he may not be able to keep the victory at the crucial moment. ”
Others feel that James's popularity has been overhyped: "Watching this warm-up game, I feel that James's performance is a bit over-interpreted." Now every little action of his can be amplified, it is really because of his high popularity that he will be so concerned. Not to mention anything else, if the state is unstable during the main game, it is useless no matter how hot it is. With so many superstars on the field, can the performance of the warm-up match determine the result of the main match? ”
The comments show the different opinions of fans about James' performance. Some people speak highly of his performances, believing that he is still the heart of the team when it matters most; Others, while others expressed concern about the inconsistent performance in the match, believing that the warm-up match may not fully reflect his performance in the official match. The discussion among the fans was lively and varied, reflecting different expectations for the team's future performance.
Not to be outdone, Embiid contributed 15 points, eight rebounds and five assists. His consistent performance on both ends of the floor has provided strong support for the team, especially in interior defense and rebounding, and his performance is undoubtedly an important factor in the United States men's basketball team's ability to turn the game around. Whenever Germany tried to break through the inside, Embiid was always quick to return to ensure that the opponent did not score easily.
Curry and Edwards weren't bad either, but relatively smooth and didn't lead the game in crunch time like James and Embiid did. Curry made a couple of three-pointers from beyond the arc to stabilize the game, and Edwards also contributed to scoring when he came off the bench, providing significant firepower for the team.
Davies contributed on both ends of the game, especially defensively, and his presence prevented Germany from attacking smoothly at key moments on several occasions.
In contrast, Tatum, Adebayo and Booker have been a bit disappointing. Tatum scored only 4 points in the whole game, which seemed a little silent; Bam Adebayo also only scored 4 points, and his sluggish form prevented the team from getting the support he deserved at key moments; Booker's performance was even more disappointing, with neither the 3-point score nor the role on the court being obvious. Although the slump of these players affected the overall performance of the United States team, in the end, thanks to the excellent play of James and Embiid, the United States team won this tense game, showing the team's fighting spirit in key moments.
