MATCH DETAILS:
The French national team won the bronze medal at the World Cup in China. Third place at the World Cup is an automatic pass to the Olympics. The head coach of les Bleus is the same Vincent Collet. At the stage of preparation for the main tournament, his players lost all three sparring matches: two to the Spaniards and one to the Japanese! The French roster includes five representatives of the NBA, led by Rudy Gobert, as well as the shining and dying stars of the Euroleague – Nando de Colo and Tom Ertel
The NBA resource allows you to create several Dream Teams at the same time. However, two years ago, a hastily put together team failed the Chinese World Cup. The favorites with the “mega” prefix cut off in the quarterfinal round. As a result, the shameful seventh place and a ticket to the Olympics on the continental quota. Basketball players of Greg Popovich continued to amaze with a minus sign in control matches before the Olympic Games – sensational defeats from Australia and Nigeria! In the last two friendly matches, the Stars and Stripes took the upper hand over Argentina and Spain. The US roster includes superstar Kevin Durant.

The Game has just finished, Final score 76:83, France win!
France is going to pull out this win. It will mark United States’ first loss in group play since 2004 when it lost to both Puerto Rico and Lithuania. Not a great start to the Olympics for Team USA.
This one is coming down to the wire. With 23 second remaining, France leads the U.S. 76-74. They also have the ball. Let’s see how this one turns out.
Jrue Holiday is making huge plays for Team USA on both ends of the floor. He has taken the game over in the fourth quarter, as he has 12 points in the 4th alone. He’s up to 18 points in the game, which leads the U.S.
With just over 6 minutes remaining, the game is all knotted up at 63. We’ll see which team wants this one more down the stretch, because this one could go either way.
Kevin Durant is back in the game for the U.S. to start the fourth quarter. Durant is playing with 4 fouls, which is just one foul away from a disqualification in Olympic play. He needs to be careful because the U.S. needs will need his offensive production down the stretch.
Work to do.
END 3Q | 🇫🇷 62 🇺🇸 56

The game is tied at 52. France has come out really strong in the third quarter so far. Kevin Durant being on the bench with four fouls doesn’t help the U.S., either.
France continues to fight hard in this one. They had the lead down to 2, and then Jayson Tatum splashed a three. The U.S. is now up five midway through the third quarter.
Second half action is underway in Japan. The French will have to do a better job of taking care of the ball and knocking down their 3’s if they want to pull out a comeback over the final 20 minutes of the contest.
