On July 30th, the Olympic men’s basketball group stage continued as Canada defeated Australia 93-83. In this match, Gidi played for 28 minutes, scoring 19 points with 7 rebounds and 6 assists while making 7 shots out of 14 (3-pointers 3 out of 7, free throws 2 out of 4), and committing 3 turnovers and 2 fouls.
In the first half, Gidi had a hot hand and utilized his comprehensive offensive skills to keep Australia in the game. However, as the second half progressed and faced tougher defense from Canada, Gidi experienced a drop in stamina, leading to consecutive missed shots and turnovers that resulted in quick counterattacks by the opposing team. His teammates were unable to provide support, causing Australia to ultimately lose the game.
It is worth noting that in the previous game where Australia beat Spain, Gidi became the first player in 40 years to achieve a 15+7+7 performance in their Olympic debut. Currently, Australia has a record of 1 win and 1 loss, and their next match will be against Greece.
