On August 8th, in the semi-finals of the Paris Olympic men’s basketball tournament, Team USA made a comeback, defeating Serbia 95-91.
For the first three quarters, Serbia had Team USA under tight control, leading by as much as 17 points, and at the end of the third quarter, Serbia held a 13-point lead at 76-63.
However, in the final quarter, LeBron, Durant, Curry, and Embiid stepped up. The U.S. men’s basketball team launched an offensive spree of 32-15 in the fourth quarter, outscoring Serbia by 17 points in 10 minutes to complete the comeback.
In this game, the trio of LeBron, Durant, and Curry fought with all their might. In the final quarter, Team USA deployed a deadly lineup of Embiid + LeBron + Durant + Curry + Booker. Durant and Booker scored first, followed by Embiid successfully taking on Jokic. Gradually, Team USA narrowed the gap. In the last four minutes, the top three stars, LeBron, Durant, and Curry took control of the game. Curry hit a three-pointer, James made a fast-break layup, and Durant nailed a mid-range shot, ultimately leading Team USA to complete a stunning 17-point comeback.
In the fourth quarter, Curry scored 9 points and made 1 steal, Durant scored 7 points, Embiid contributed 7 points and 1 block, and James added 6 points and 4 assists. Together, these four players accounted for 29 of Team USA’s 32 points in the final quarter.
The day will come when these three veterans are overtaken by the next generation, but that day is not today.
