The United States men's basketball team won all three games in the group stage, beating Serbia 110-84, South Sudan 103-86 and Puerto Rico 104-83. The United States men's basketball team averaged 105.7 points per game in the three group games, 10 more than the second-placed team, and the opponent in the knockout stage, Brazil, had a 1-2 record in the group stage and only one active NBA player (Ji Santos played for the Warriors).
Brazil have a tough style of play, are good at rebounding, and have a good team system, with nine of the 12-man squad averaging more than five points per game. However, in three games so far, only two have averaged double figures per game, namely Bennett and Caboquero, especially Cabocro, who scored 33 points and 17 rebounds in the game against Japan, and was dubbed "Brazil Durant" by the outside world.
Durant has come off the bench in the last three group games, averaging 16 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game, shooting 63.6% from the field and a staggering 71.4% from three-point range (10-of-14 shooting); In addition, James averaged 14.3 points (third on the team), 6.7 rebounds (third on the team), and 7.3 assists (first on the team) per game.
Edwards scored 25 points efficiently in the last group game, and just began to fulfill his "pre-game rhetoric". It is worth mentioning that in the United States men's basketball team, there are several "frozen" stars, such as Curry, Tatum, and so on.
It is impossible for Brazil to win against the United States men's basketball team, and how many points to lose is a matter of consideration!
