The U.S. men's basketball team staged a huge comeback in the semifinals of the Paris Olympic Games, overcoming a 17-point deficit, defeating Serbia 95-91, and qualifying for the Olympic finals.
The three veterans James Curry and Durant were the protagonists of this game. Curry scored 36 points and made nine three-pointers. James had a triple-double. Durant once again wielded the death sickle at a critical moment to harvest the game. However, the new championship member Tatum was blocked by Cole again in this game, and the whole game was benched. Just like when he faced Serbia in the group stage, in Cole's eyes, Tatum may not be suitable to play against Serbia.
Tatum's experience has also caused a lot of heated discussion. After all, he is the second leading scorer in the U.S. men's basketball team at the Tokyo Olympics. He has just won the championship and was selected to the best team, but he is not affected by the U.S. men's basketball team. The re-appointment of men's basketball head coach Cole. In particular, Edwards' performance in this game collapsed. Many voices from the outside were also questioning why Cole did not use Tatum to replace Edwards. Some fans even posted a message asking whether Tatum was injured because this was not the best game of the year. The playing time that a good team player deserves.
Tatum’s mother responded to this post and said that her son Tatum was not injured. She herself did not know what was happening now and was eager to know the truth because her son’s current treatment was completely unacceptable and there was no The arrangement of reason. Obviously, head coach Cole will suffer from public opinion again. When he hid Tatum for the first time, he suffered huge public pressure and even had to apologize publicly. After all, Tatum's status is not ordinary. Even the basketball god Jordan showed up in Paris to support him.
As a result, Cole repeatedly hid and suppressed this young talent. Those who knew it was Tatum, but those who didn't knew it was Kuminga.
