"Don't think it's stable", Kobe's classic quote is undoubtedly very applicable to the United States men's basketball team, trailing by up to 17 points in the semifinals and 13 points in the first three quarters, the United States men's basketball team relied on the combined performance of the three elders of Janduku and Embiid in the final quarter to score 29 points, and finally defeated the Serbia men's basketball team 95-91 to advance to the finals. The three elders of Janduku are 111 years old, but they continue to support the banner of the United States men's basketball team, the young generation led by Tatum has not really taken over, and the lack of success is also a huge hidden danger for the United States men's basketball team, and last year's basketball World Cup only fourth place missed the medal, which has proved that the dream team that does not send the strongest team cannot ensure the championship, and the competitive pattern of world basketball has entered the era of competition for heroes.

Gnawing the old severe: The last section is ruthlessly reversed by the three elders of Zhan Duku

39-year-old James, 36-year-old Curry, 36-year-old Durant, 3 veteran superstars are 111 years old "old", United States men's basketball is too old? No, there are still a lot of new generation stars, but it is Janduku who can really carry the team.

In this game, only three players in the United States men's basketball team scored double-doubles, and Curry exploded 12-of-19 to play the best game of this year's Olympics, especially the unstoppable 9-of-14 from the outside three-point line, and exploded with 36 points and 8 rebounds. As for James' 16+12+10 triple-double data in 6-of-9, the only two triple-doubles in his Olympic career history. Embiid was also an efficient 8-of-11 with 19 points, plus Durant scored 9 points on 4-of-8 shooting, the fourth-highest scorer on the team.

More crucially, the United States men's basketball team entered the fourth quarter with a 13-point deficit, and they scored 32-15 to complete the offensive with 17 points in the final quarter. Throughout the fourth quarter of the game, James, Curry, Durant and Embiid played almost the entire final quarter game, Curry contributed 9 points and 1 steal, Durant contributed 7 points, Embiid contributed 7 points and 1 block, James contributed 6 points and 4 assists, and the four teamed up to score 29 of the 32 points in the final quarter of the United States men's basketball team.

Janduku scored a combined 22 points in the final quarter, seven more than the 15 points of the Serbia men's basketball team in the fourth quarter, and Cole was forced to "gnaw at the old" again, becoming the fundamental factor in the final comeback of the United States men's basketball team.

Redemption of the Emperor: Naturalized Embiid joins the strongest battle

The United States men's basketball team also relies on naturalization? When the United States men's basketball team snatched Embiid from the France men's basketball team, it caused a lot of controversy in public opinion, especially France fans booed Embiid and even asked him to return his France passport.

Embiid has never been able to truly integrate into the United States men's basketball team in his previous four Olympic games, and even a series of warm-up games this summer, and his various poor playing styles have been criticized. Only in the semifinals, Embiid contributed his strongest game to the United States men's basketball team, he started the third most on the team in 26 minutes, and scored 19 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block on 8-of-11 shooting, including 2-of-3 from the outside, especially in the final quarter to effectively limit Jokic's play.

Although Jokic contributed a double-double of 17 points, 5 rebounds and 11 assists, he only had a 7-of-17 target, especially 0-of-6 from the outside three-pointers, and was effectively limited by Embiid in the final quarter to stop the United States men's basketball team's counterattack.

Needless to say, this is the ultimate meaning of the United States men's basketball team's naturalized Embiid, and they need someone who can limit Embiid. Brother Thick Eyebrows and Adebayo performed well in the previous games, but in the semifinals, Brother Thick Eyebrows only scored 4 points, 2 rebounds and 3 fouls, and Adebayo scored 0 points in 2 of 0.

Green and yellow: Huazi Booker sluggish Tatum and then DNP

When Curry played 33 minutes, James scored 32 points, becoming the only player in the United States men's basketball team to play more than 30 points. In addition, Durant scored 26 points against Embiid in 24 minutes, and their dependence was the key to Kerr's victory in the semifinals.

However, Cole's lineup also caused controversy, especially in the first three quarters, when he continued to be suppressed by the Serbia men's basketball team, trailing by 17 points at most. In addition to Durant, there are also Edwards, Holiday and White on the court, and they are too obsessed with the multi-guard style of play in the small lineup, resulting in the height disadvantage of the United States men's basketball team, and even more obvious offensive constipation.

The younger generation of the United States men's basketball team has not really taken over, even if Edwards, Tatum and Haliburton all led the team to the division finals in this year's NBA playoffs, but they still have not really taken over the banner of Janduku. In this game, Edwards, who prides himself on being the team's No. 1 offensive choice, only scored 2 points in 1 of 3, Booker scored 6 points and 3 fouls in 2 of 4, Tatum and Haliburton were directly DNP again, Holiday scored 3 points and White scored 0 points, etc.

The gap narrows: It is difficult for the Dream Team to win the championship without sending the strongest lineup

Although the United States men's basketball team is only one win away from winning five consecutive Olympic titles, the final opponent in their journey to the championship is the host France men's basketball team waiting in the final. The United States men's basketball team was almost defeated by the South Sudan men's basketball team in the warm-up game, and won only a single-digit point difference in three warm-up games, and now the 17-point thrilling reversal of the Serbia men's basketball team in the Olympic semifinals proves that the gap between the world's best and the United States men's basketball team is narrowing.

What's more, in the 2023 Basketball World Cup, the United States men's basketball team did not send the strongest team, but young players such as Tatum, Edwards and Booker led the way. As a result, the United States men's basketball team was excluded from the finals, and even lost to the Canada men's basketball team in the third-place match, only finishing fourth and missing the podium.

If this year's Paris Olympics is not led by the three elders of Janduku and continues to play in the Olympics mainly with the younger generation of players, perhaps the United States men's basketball team still has a high probability of overturning and losing the championship. The United States men's basketball team no longer has absolute "pride" capital, and they need the strongest team to attack to be expected to win the championship, after all, the overall competitiveness of the world's top teams has been greatly improved.

After the semifinals, James posted a photo of celebrating with Curry and Durant at the last moment late at night in Paris, with the caption: "Only one victory away!! "Whether the United States men's basketball team can complete the fifth consecutive Olympic championship is only the final battle, and the last dance of the Janduku national team can only wait and see whether it can end with a gold medal."
