WATCH: Team USA built a significant advantage; Draymond Green Makes Bold Team USA Basketball Guarantee in 2024 Olympics
After disappointing in last year’s FIBA World Cup, Team USA dropped the hammer and assembled the best roster they could to win the gold in the 2024 Olympics. For Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green, though, there’s no doubt that the national squad can win it all in Paris soon.
The United States men’s basketball team showcased their dominance in a pre-Olympic exhibition game against Australia recently. In a closely contested matchup held in Abu Dhabi, Team USA emerged victorious with a final score of 98-92. Despite facing a resilient Australian squad, the American squad managed to maintain their lead throughout the game.
Team USA initially built a significant advantage, leading by as much as 24 points. However, Australia demonstrated their resilience and narrowed the gap to just six points in the fourth quarter. It was at this crucial moment that Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton stepped up, sinking consecutive 3-pointers to extend Team USA’s lead to 12 points with only two and a half minutes remaining.
Anthony Davis showcased an exceptional performance on both ends of the court, contributing 17 points, 14 rebounds, and two blocks. Team USA displayed a balanced offensive effort, with six players reaching double figures in scoring. Devin Booker, Anthony Edwards, LeBron James, Joel Embiid, and Bam Adebayo all made significant contributions to the team’s success.
This exhibition win serves as a valuable learning experience for Team USA as they continue their preparations for the 2024 Paris Olympics. The team remains focused on refining its strategies and addressing areas of improvement, particularly in reducing turnovers. With upcoming exhibitions against Serbia and additional matchups in London, the U.S. squad is determined to showcase their basketball prowess and bring home the gold.
Golden State Warriors’ Draymond Green Drops Gold Medal Guarantee For Team USA in 2024 Olympics
Team USA is definitely looking good after defeating both Australia and Canada before the Olympics. For Green, it’s guaranteed that the United States’ national team will win the gold in Paris soon, as seen in a tweet by NBA on ESPN’s official X account.
Although Green wasn’t included in the star-studded roster , the team still boasted the best collection of talent across the NBA today, especially after mixing established veterans with promising young stars. With a lineup led by James, Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant, and Golden State’s Stephen Curry, opposing countries will have to work hard against these stars.
The Olympics will run later this month to the first half of August this year. By then, everyone will know if Green’s prediction about Team USA will come true or not.
