Olympics Men’s Basketball: USA vs France
Team USA mowed over the competition in their first two games of the Olympics men’s basketball competition. However, they’ve been tested greatly in their last two matchups, being pushed to their limits. With no time to regroup, the Americans finish up their Group A play on Sunday. And again, Team USA will likely be put to the test as it’ll be USA vs France in the spotlight on Day 9 of Rio 2016.
In terms of their peak, no team can touch Team USA in regards to how good they can be. Kevin Durant, DeMarcus Cousins, Carmelo Anthony, Paul George, and so many more comprise the most talent-laden roster at the Games. However, the United States has fallen victim to many pitfalls in recent games. Holding the ball in isolation sets, performing sloppily on the defensive end, and other things have hindered them. To stay undefeated, avoiding those pitfalls against France is pivotal.
As for France, they’ve battled inconsistency for the entire preliminary round. They’ll be advancing, but Tony Parker and company haven’t been the world-beaters they can be. However, they have length on the inside and wings in Rudy Gobert and Nicolas Batum to affect Team USA’s offense. Moreover, they have a potent offense of their own. So, if France is able to play up to their potential, they could be the third consecutive team to push the United States to their limits. Regardless, USA vs France should be overloaded with excitement.
