In a tҺrilling final test before the Paris Olympics, LeBron James delivered once again to propel Team USA to a 92-88 victory over World Cup champions Germany. Named the male flagbearer for the opening ceremony, James showcased his clutch abilities, scoring the final 11 points for the Americans.
The game was a hard-fought bаttle, with Germany pushing the U.S. to the brink. Franz Wagner led the German squad with 18 points, while Dennis Schroder contributed 13 points and 10 assists. However, it was James who stole the show, finishing with 20 points.
While Team USA finished their exhibition tour undefeated, the competition proved to be tougher than expected. Canada, Australia, and South Sudan all pushed the Americans to their limits, highlighting the challenges that lie ahead in Paris.
With the Olympics just days away, Team USA is now focused on their opening game against Serbia. As Stephen Curry stated, “Now it’s obviously a matter of showing up when the lights are bright next week.”
Can LeBron and Team USA extend their Olympic dominance? The world will find out soon.
