The final whistle blew and the score was fixed at 122-87, and against South American powerhouse Brazil, the United States men's basketball team did not give the opponent any chance and won the game in a very good form.
As a result, he also successfully advanced to the semifinals and continued to attack the gold medal.
In this game, there was a person's performance that once again made everyone praise him, not in the statistics, not in the big win, but in his enthusiasm. He is the first person in the NBA, James.
In the whole game, James performed extremely well, playing 16 minutes, shooting 5 of 6, 2 of 3 free throws, getting 12 points, 3 rebounds, 9 assists and 3 steals, the only shortcoming was 4 turnovers, and the plus/minus was as high as +21.
Under James' tandem organization, the United States team's offense was extremely fluid, and it can be described as a flowing cloud, with six players scoring double-doubles, Booker scoring 18 points, Embiid 14 points, Durant contributing 11 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists, Edwards cutting 17 points and 5 rebounds, and Davis scoring 13 points and 8 rebounds.
The reason why I want to praise James is mainly because of his hard work in the game, in a scramble, James actively fought for rebounds, but was accidentally elbowed in the face by the opponent, and was immediately substituted. According to Cole, it was not a minor abrasion, and James received four stitches to his head.
I have to say that James is really admirable. As a player born in 1984, James will soon be 40 years old, and the United States men's basketball team winning the game against Brazil is almost a certainty. But the attitude James showed in the game is still worth learning from all the players.
Everyone knows that there are no absolutes in the arena, and some can only speak by strength. Even if he is the first person in the NBA, the opponent will naturally not let it go, and only by impressing the opponent with strength can he get a real victory. With James, Curry and Durant, the Olympic gold medal for the United States men's basketball team doesn't feel like much of a problem.
