If the French win this game, it’ll be a major upset that will surprise everyone.
However, Team USA shouldn’t expect to easily waltz to the gold.
Their latest game against Serbia showed they aren’t as perfect as they should be and there are weak spots in their approach.
They were able to rally back against the Serbians but they were behind for the vast majority of the game.
If they hadn’t gotten their act together in the final quarter, this would be a totally different story.
France is hoping America gets off to a bad start on Saturday.
They will try to capitalize on any missteps as much as they can.
They will also try to use their superior size to their advantage.
Fans can expect to see a lot of Victor Wembanyama and probably more of Rudy Gobert too.
It seems that America is on its way to another gold medal but the Olympics are a place where anything can happen.
Will France give international fans one last surprise before the closing ceremony?
Everyone, especially those betting, will be paying close attention.
