Team USA Overcomes Serbia in Tight Olympic Semifinal
In a gripping Olympic semifinal at Bercy Arena, Team USA overcame Serbia with a score of 95-91, showcasing strategic plays and clutch performances.
From Bercy Arena in Paris, Team USA reached the gold-medal game letting ere the incredible Serbian resistance and beating the opponent 95-91. On August 8, 2024, the world saw Lebron James, Kevin Durant, and Stephen Curry living up to their reputation and showing what they were capable of in the clutch.
The fourth quarter was more a celebration of basketball than a fierce battle. Everything was very tight, and one could hardly identify the favorite. However, after being down by one, Team USA developed a quick 7-0 run, and the opponents could do nothing against Curry’s three-pointer and James’ transition finish. Of course, Durant’s rare moves were rather strategic than emotional, and the mid-range jumper he sent home to finalize the victory was the perfect illustration of his plan.
Still, it is necessary to admit that Serbia had a fantastic first quarter and seemed to have a nice dinner during the break separating the two halves. The 20-point advantage was the safe pillow they were ready to justify and be satisfied with. Still, Team USA made them play until very last seconds with passion, and the results of the previous stage hardly mattered. Nevertheless, now, Serbia is supposed to watch the final to know for sure whether their defense-free last quarter was the main reason for the loss. At any rate, Team USA is moving on and preparing for the final against France. A truly exciting game is ahead, and the price is too high not to turn it into one of the best Olympic highlights ever.
