5 championship favorites, the US men’s basketball team is no longer dominated by one

The Paris Olympics are in full swing, and the men’s basketball competition at the Olympics is particularly intense. 12 teams are fiercely competing for the top 8 spots, and with the two rounds before the Olympic men’s basketball group stage, each team has different performances!

After two rounds of pre Olympic men’s basketball group stage matches, four teams, namely Canada, France, Germany, and the United States, maintained a perfect record of 2 wins and 0 losses. It is not a big deal for them to enter the quarterfinals, as they have shown strong dominance. From the performance of the group stage, there are also five favorites to win the championship in this Olympic Games, and the United States team is not the only one.
Firstly, Canada! Canadian basketball has made great progress in recent years, and the team has also shown strong competitiveness. In this year’s Olympics, Canada also sent out all the main lineups, with strong strength!

The absolute core of Canada is undoubtedly Alexander, who has become one of the best offensive guards with his combination of shooting and shooting. The US team has no comparable guard! In addition, Barrett and Murray also performed quite well, both at the level of NBA stars. Brooks is the defensive goalkeeper on the flank, and his 3-pointers are also very strong, exerting tremendous power on the flank!
Among the role players, Walker, Dortmund, Nemhard, Powell, Lairs, Orinik, and others are also good NBA players. Canada’s overall strength is very strong, and there is definitely a chance to compete with the US team.

In addition to Canada, there are also European powerhouses Germany and France who have a chance to win the championship!
German basketball is also making rapid progress, with many NBA players such as Schroeder, Ties, Wagner, and Wagner, and their strength is very strong.

The players of the German team may not be considered top-notch in terms of personal strength, at least there is a considerable gap compared to the American team. However, the team’s cooperation is excellent, and they are all old players who have been cooperating for many years, which cannot be compared to the temporary team of the American team! In addition, the German team has a balanced strength both inside and outside, with comprehensive offensive and defensive capabilities, and performs well in critical moments, posing a significant threat to the American team.
In domestic combat, the powerful French team is regarded as the biggest opponent for the United States to win the championship, and they do have this strength! The French team in this Olympic Games is truly strong and formidable, with a large number of NBA players such as Mbappe, Gobert, Batum, and Fournier having strong internal and external strength. Especially in their interior, they have two of the best defensive players, Gobert and Mbappe, sitting in the center. Their defensive deterrence is enormous and cannot be compared to the American team. They have a considerable opportunity to overturn the American team.

Another team is the Serbian team! Serbia and the United States are in the same group, and in their first match against the United States, they also suffered a defeat, but they definitely have a chance to compete with the United States.
Serbia’s overall strength is quite good, especially as a European team, they are very good at cooperation, and their strength on the inside and outside lines is also very balanced, able to unleash strong combat power! In the first game against the US team, they had not yet mastered the methods of playing against the US team, and the team’s form was somewhat inadequate. However, as the group stage progressed, their form became increasingly outstanding, especially under the leadership of Jokic, who can be regarded as the first active player. Serbia’s potential cannot be ignored, and there is a chance to defeat the US team.

Germany, France, the United States, Serbia, and Canada all have the opportunity to win gold medals at the Paris Olympics. Of course, the United States may still have the highest chance, but it cannot be denied that they no longer have absolute dominance.
This year’s US men’s basketball team has deployed their strongest lineup, but their dominance is not as high. The core players James, Curry, and Durant are all very old, and their personal strength has declined significantly when targeted.

Secondly, the interior of the US team is also a major problem. Except for Brow Brow, the level of other interior players is not very high. Embiid and Adebayor have shown varying degrees of decline in performance, and the team cannot gain an advantage in the interior. Once they encounter opponents who are in excellent form and face their skilled cooperation, it is not easy for the US team to completely defeat them.
