Qualified for the final, Team USA got a scare this Thursday against Serbia.
A real test for Steve Kerr’s men, who are expecting another tricky match on Saturday against France. LeBron James was honest on the subject.
We will indeed have the right to a France-Team USA for the grand final of the Olympic Games, like 3 years ago in Tokyo.
Except that since then, the opposing squad has changed a lot thanks to the presence of LeBron James, Kevin Durant and Stephen Curry to name a few.
The mission promises to be tense for Vincent Collet’s men, but don’t count on Team USA to take all this lightly.
After all, this roster, as incredible as it may be, came close to elimination this Thursday against Serbia.
Steve Kerr’s men chased the score for almost the entire match, with a 13-point deficit as a bonus when the fourth quarter began.
Nikola Jokic and his teammates were close to achieving the sensation of the tournament, before cracking in the final moments.
LeBron James eager to face the Blues
A perfect booster shot for Team USA before the grand finale.
No doubt that Kerr will want a different face on Saturday against the French team, with the desire to take the lead from the first minutes of the match.
The Blues will have to be solid to compete, but LeBron is the first to be wary of this game, especially with Victor Wembanyama facing him.

With a crowd on fire, ready to support their players and a Wembanyama determined to win gold, Team USA expects anything.
Here is what James told reporters at a press conference:
LeBron James after the victory over Serbia: “It’s a big win for us. We knew we would be tested, that it would be the biggest game so far.
I told the team that it’s good to be tested. We’re one game away from our goal.
We’re looking forward to the match against France on Saturday.”
It will be an opportunity for James to win another gold medal and end his adventure with Team USA in style.
An extra motivation for them, even though the French team is showing a different side in these final stages.
And even the King has seen that, he who is wary before this big event:
LeBron James: “It’s a very competitive team.
Victor Wembanyama is playing his first Olympics, but the rest of the team has been playing together for a very long time and they feed off the energy of the crowd. We can’t wait.”
LeBron James is confident before the final, even if he knows that the Blues are capable of anything, especially at home and with a boiling crowd.
But this match against Serbia could be useful, with a Team USA team that is brimming with confidence.
