July 23 news, in the warm-up game, the USA Basketball defeated the German Basketball team by 92-88, securing this win through LeBron James’s exceptional performance in the final moments.

Throughout the match, James played for 18 minutes, making 11 shots out of 8 and scoring a total of 20 points with 6 rebounds and 4 assists. He also made both of his three-point shots. In particular, when there were only 4 minutes left in the game, the USA Basketball was trailing Germany by 1 point. In the subsequent time, James scored 11 points single-handedly, preventing the team from losing.

Here is what LeBron James did in the last 4 minutes of the game:

After witnessing James’s performance, multiple industry insiders expressed admiration for this veteran player and noted that the current USA Basketball is relying on him to keep afloat.

The commentary from sports journalist Chris Mannix was even more cutting, “With just five months until his 40th birthday, LeBron James is the sole reason why the USA team hasn’t suffered back-to-back losses, it’s absurd.”
