Team USA will face France this Saturday for the gold medal of these Olympic Games.

A match that will inevitably be a little tense because of Joel Embiid and the public, but not only that. Kevin Durant is not the first fan of our tricolors either.

Because the two nations are fighting for a gold medal and the winning of the competition, the match between France and Team USA this Saturday promises to be really special.

We hope for a great atmosphere with at the end, perhaps a huge surprise for Vincent Collet’s men.

Anything is possible when we see how Serbia stood up to this team, but it will be a very difficult mission.

Kevin Durant bitter against Evan Fournier

Especially since Kevin Durant will perhaps have additional motivation on the other side with the presence of Evan Fournier.

Both players have a history, whether we’re talking about their time with the Celtics or the Knicks.

They’ve had a few run-ins on the NBA courts, including some pretty spicy trash-talk from the Slim Reaper in March 2022.

Due in particular to a defeat in 2021 during the group match against France, Durant really doesn’t like Vincent Collet’s players.

As RMC Sport reminds us, this is what he said for Boardroom in 2022:

Kevin Durant on the French team: “I have something against this French team.

They beat us at the Olympic Games and I don’t like any of them, even if I respect them. They’re one of those teams and players that I simply don’t like.”

Durant should therefore be very motivated this Saturday, although the Suns star continues to come off the bench for the moment.

A good thing for the Blues, as well as Evan Fournier. Also in 2022, the person concerned had made a rather scathing observation against the Frenchman.

Kevin Durant on Evan Fournier: “Evan plays with a lot of swag and on the days when he shoots, he can be annoying because he’s so swag.

I’ve always liked his game, but when I play against him, I just want to beat him and kick his ass.”

It’s not crazy love between Kevin Durant and Evan Fournier, to the point where the reunion will be tense for this grand final.

The Suns star will want to do a lot of damage, so let’s hope the Frenchman is having a good night to answer him.
