The warm-up matches of the United States team are all over, and the 5-0 record without losing a game is of course not to be said, but what was shown in the process is far from being as easy as the record.

Of the five warm-up matches, the two that were played relatively easily were against Canada and Serbia. In the remaining three games, he was shocked into a cold sweat by Australia's pursuit, almost overturned on South Sudan, and finally played Germany and had to move the last hole card James.

After five games, the best player on the United States team turned out to be James at 39 years and more than 200 days old. Durant is still recovering from an injury, and Huazi has not fully fulfilled his ambitions, in Curry's words: "We have a lot of details that we haven't done well." ”

After all, the run-in time of this team is still too short, since Popovich and Cole coached the United States team, the problem is that the time for star run-in is limited, and eventually it has to return to the stage of using stars to solve problems. Durant was United States' biggest weapon to solve problems before, and this game added stars such as Zhankumei and, of course, Embiid.

Therefore, neither the Spurs system nor the Warriors' system can be directly applied to this group of stars. In the Warriors, their defensive system can completely protect Curry, but in this team, the other people's playing habits are not yet in the habit of protecting Curry in the defensive round.

It's the same for everyone else, Tatum is the absolute core of the Celtics, but on this United States team he can only be a role player, doing some scrap work. It's also the work of leftovers, and Booker does it very well.

After five games, Booker didn't score much, but his plus/minus was +50, ranking first on the United States team. It's rare to see Booker defend so aggressively with the Suns, starting from the subtleties and not fighting for the ball. For Booker, although he came to be a younger brother, it was definitely a good thing for personal development.

Huazi also works the defensive end, but defensive habits are really not something that can be changed in a month or two. Huazi aspires to be the first choice for the United States team, but now it seems almost meaningful. He will still hesitate somewhat, after all, he is not playing for the Timberwolves.

His breakthrough ability is still very top, but the feel also needs to look at the sky, the choice after breaking through is still a big problem, I don't know if this trip to the United States team can let Huazi learn how to handle the ball, and see more how James chooses after breaking through.

The three people in the interior position have said a lot, Reba and Thick Eyebrows are very suitable for basketball under the FIBA system, while Embiid is not necessarily. Reba has a plus/minus of +42 in second place on the team, Holiday +30 in third, and Thick Eyebrow +27 in fourth.

More than a decade ago, the United States team hardly wore an orthodox center in the national competition, replaced by an inside line with a center forward in the No. 4 position like Thick Eyebrow Reba, which was more mobile. Embiid chose to join the United States this time in order to play in the Olympics, and United States is likely to promise the starting position, so Embiid is really not necessarily what Kerr wants to bring.

The consequence of Embiid's starting is the weakness of United States' starting rebounds. After five games, the United States grabbed the most rebounds with 49. At the same time, the thick eyebrows' 15 blocks are also the first in the team.

The United States team still needs Durant to stand at the No. 4 position, and now James is at the No. 4 position, and the rebounding disadvantage is too great, so Embiid will not mention it. The United States team needs Durant's mid-range shot to break the defense, Durant needs to protect rebounds, and Durant needs to ensure the team's lower limit.

This also explains why the United States team is willing to always wait for Durant to return and not worry about the run-in between Durant and the whole team. Because as long as Durant is there, the lower limit of the United States team is there, which is the gold content of the team's all-time Olympic scoring champion. How thick are Durant's thighs? Cole knows best.

The United States team does not need Embiid to play positional warfare, and if Embiid must play the starter, it can only add Durant to solve the jerkiness of positional warfare. But the good news is that Embiid's last two played significantly more reasonably after the first three comedian performances.

The United States now needs Embiid to do what he doesn't often do with the 76ers, spending 100 percent on rebounds and not getting distracted on the defensive end to protect the basket. Kerr needs to brainwash Embiid, and you're a more handsome version of Gobert right now. Once the brainwashing is successful, Embiid's size advantage is still very large.

The people who are now excluded from the rotation are White and Haliburton, and when Durant returns, Tatum's time may need to be reduced. There's no way, it's only 40 minutes a game in FIBA, and someone has to be unable to play.

In the list of the 25 best players of the Olympic Games selected by foreign media, all 12 members of the United States team were selected, but the highest ranking was Curry 4th, James 5th, and Durant 6th. The top three are Jokic, Antetokounmpo and Alexander.

Times have long since changed, the dominance of the United States team is waning, other teams are chasing after it, and even if the ace lineup is moved out of Janduku this time, the United States team still does not look very stable.

At 23:15 on the evening of July 28, the United States men's basketball team will play against the Serbia men's basketball team, and the Olympic Games are about to officially begin.
