James scored 12 points, 3 rebounds, 9 assists and 3 steals in 5 of 6, with a plus/minus of +21, Lao Zhan's performance was flawless, not at all like a 40-year-old veteran. Holiday scored 9 points, 3 assists and 2 blocks on 4-of-7 shooting, and was a top guard who integrated offense and defense. Embiid finally broke out, scoring 14 points and 7 rebounds on 5-of-6 shooting, and if the United States men's basketball team does meet the France men's basketball team, it is estimated that Embiid will be booed at the home of the France team. Booker scored 18 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists on 6-of-9 shooting, which was very efficient and was also the leading scorer of the United States men's basketball team in this game. Curry scored 7 points and 1 rebound on 2-of-3 shooting, and was willing to be a green leaf and not steal the ball.
Durant scored 11 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists on 4-of-8 shooting, and he is still the No. 1 killer in the international arena. Edwards scored 17 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal on 6-of-10 shooting, second only to Booker in scoring on the team, and his performance was also perfect. Bam Adebayo had 9 points, 7 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 steal on 4-of-8 shooting, while Bushy Eyebrows scored 13 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 1 block on 5-of-9 shooting.

White had 5 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocks on 2-of-6 shooting, and got 16 minutes of playing time. Haliburton had 2 points and 1 assist on 1-of-1 shooting, didn't waste a chance but didn't take many shots, only played 7 minutes, and barely passed. There is only one person who has a big crash, that is, Tatum, who scored 5 points and 3 rebounds on 1-of-5 from the field, and if the slump continues, the possibility of Kerr continuing to abandon Tatum cannot be ruled out.
The United States men's basketball team only has two wins left to win the Olympic gold medal, but it needs to pass Serbia first. Serbia previously reversed Australia, Jokic showed the strength of the NBA's No. 1 interior line, and if he can lead the team to open up on the offensive end, it will create some problems for the United States men's basketball team.
