The excitement is palpable as the USA Men’s Basketball team sets its sights on Serbia for their upcoming clash. It’s game time, and I’m here to bring you the finer details and some crucial betting insights.
Steve Kerr stressed the importance of defense and rebounding against Brazil, and boy, did his squad deliver. The U.S. dominated with a 122-87 victory, earning their spot in the semifinals. Devin Booker led the pack with 18 points, while Joel Embiid pitched in 14 points and seven rebounds. Kevin Durant and LeBron James, with their usual cool composure, added 11 and 12 points, respectively. Anthony Davis also had a strong showing with 13 points and eight rebounds. Smells like team spirit, doesn’t it?
Devin Booker couldn’t hold back his excitement, saying, “I love how we’re defending and talking. The first unit started us off well, and the second unit came in and fed off that. Teams will make runs against us, but I like how we stayed poised throughout it all.” Bruno Caboclo was Brazil’s bright spot, dropping 30 points, but it wasn’t enough to match the U.S. firepower.
LeBron emphasized, “It starts with the defensive end. We need to lock down defensively and then spread the ball offensively to keep up our rhythm.” Sounds like a solid plan for Serbia, too.
Serbia is no slouch, boasting three-time NBA MVP Nikola Jokic. This team knows how to come from behind, as evidenced by their comeback win against Australia. The U.S., however, has outdueled Serbia twice before this year, winning 105-79 in Abu Dhabi and 110-84 in a previous Olympic encounter. But coach Kerr isn’t taking any chances. “Serbia is really good. We’ve got to think about what they might do differently,” Kerr reminded everyone. “Every game is unique, and we have to be prepared for anything.”
