Victor Wembanyama et Kevin Durant

As France faces Team USA this Saturday night, many are expecting a big win for Steve Kerr’s men.

The coach is taking all this very seriously, to the point where he made a very important change for the final.

This Saturday night, we will know the new Olympic basketball champion, with a highly anticipated match between Team USA and the French team.

Steve Kerr’s men are favorites in this game, even if the Blues showed an attractive face against Germany and Canada.

Enough to overthrow LeBron James and his teammates? In one match, anything seems possible.

Team USA Makes Top 5 Changes

After all, many people had predicted a thrashing for Serbia in the semis, but Nikola Jokic’s teammates almost eliminated Team USA with a 13-point lead in the fourth quarter.

But to prevent this scenario from happening again, Kerr announced a major change for this grand final. And it’s not good for the Blues.

Shams Charania: “Team USA has planned to start Kevin Durant against France for the gold medal game for the Paris Olympics. Jrue Holiday should come off the bench for Team USA.”

The fun is over for Team USA, who had benched Durant due to calf issues as a reminder during the preparation.

But as we have seen in recent weeks, the number 7 is doing perfectly well and is one of the favorites for the MVP title.

This change is bad news for the Blues. Firstly because Durant will want to fight Evan Fournier given their past, but especially because it will force Vincent Collet to adjust his own starting 5.

With the Slim Reaper in front, it is not impossible that the coach will make new changes to his starters.

Curry Bron KD all starters, we won

The Blues are warned, LeBron James, Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant will all be starters this Saturday for the grand finale.

A real headache for this French team, which will have to be irreproachable in defense to hope for a feat.
