Struggling to bҽat Canada, LeBron James and Curry had their first victory with the US team

In the first match of assembling the squad, the US team’s stars like LeBron James, Stephen Curry… still had many problems. In the end, they still bҽat their Canadian neighbor with a difference of 14 points.The US basketball team started a series of pre-Olympic friendly matches in Paris with a competition with its neighbor, also one of its serious opponents, the Canadian team.

And although there were certain stumbles, the reigning Olympic men’s basketball champions had the start they wanted. Led by Anthony Edwards and Anthony Davis, the US team won 86-72 against the Canadian team, opening a series of 4 friendly matches with favorable results.

Although both the US and Canada teams have many NBA players, the two teams entered the game slowly with few scoring attacks.

The US team was even worse on the day without Kevin Durant (calf injury) and Kawhi Leonard (withdrew from the team), “hungry for points” in the first few minutes of the match.

Despite appearing in the starting lineup, US “rookie” Joel Embiid had many problems with personal fouls and was disqualified after just… 12 minutes after committing 5 fouls.
