Everyone has also seen the basketball game in this year's Olympic Games, and it can be said that there are too many plots. Spain, as the previous top team, did not even come out of the group stage this year, which really refreshed the understanding. The first game was lost to Australia 80-92, the second game was 84-77 against Greece and the third game was 85-88 to Canada. Putting aside the fact that the overall strength of this group is not weak, in fact, the decline of the overall squad of the Spain team is an indisputable fact. What was the lineup before, what is the lineup now, and now Aldama is the main scorer. You must know that Aldama only averaged 10.7 points and 5.8 rebounds per game in the NBA, which is just a stable rotation.
Also at the Olympics, we also saw extreme team performances, such as the Germany team. When it comes to the Germany squad, they are not so luxurious, there are no superstars, but when these people are kneaded together, the strength is very good. Japan won the first group game by 20 points, the second group stage by 13 points, and the third game by 14 points. The two giants, Schroder and Xiaowa, are the team's main scorers. In the first game, the two combined for 41 points and 13 assists, 37 points and 9 assists against Brazil, and 52 points and 11 assists against France. The two held up the team for a long time, and as long as the rest of the players played normally, the game was relatively simple, there is no doubt about that.
However, in the Olympic Games, some strong teams also come to be bastards, mixed gold medals or mixed medals. When it comes to bastard players, Gobert is a little witch. Gobert didn't have a strong presence throughout the group stage. 7 points and 3 rebounds in the first game, 7 points and 15 rebounds in the second game, and 4 points and 1 rebound in the third game. As long as he plays against a slightly stronger team, Gobert is in his original form. If the little witch is Gobert, then the big witch is Embiid, and Embiid is even more mixed than Gobert. As we all know, this year, the United States team advanced to the round of 8 with an absolute advantage, and in these three games, Embiid did not play in one game, and the other two games were more embarrassing.
Kerr can be said to be benevolent to Embiid, and he started during the warm-up game. In the main game, as long as Embiid plays, he will be the starting lineup. As a result, Embiid returned to Kerr in a different way, scoring 4 points and 2 rebounds in the first game, and the whole team was uncomfortable when he was on the floor. The second game was directly abandoned, and the team was alive. In the third game, Embiid played 22 minutes, hit 6 of 14 shots, and seemed to have 15 points and 3 rebounds, but he was exchanged for high shots. After two games, the main center of a team only scored 19 points and 5 rebounds combined, which is very debatable. Of course, if there is a giant in the current Olympic basketball game, Embiid must be ranked first.
Embiid was the league's former leading scorer, averaging 30+ points per game in the 23-24 season. So why is it so hard to score in the NBA? After all, it was the Olympic Games, and it only took two games to unveil him. It's not that United States is star-studded and Embiid has fewer opportunities. It's that Embiid himself really can't play such a game, and sometimes it's hard to say. Let's take a look at how Kerr uses Embiid in the next game, try to use it as little as possible, so that the game will be smoother.
