On August 10th, Beijing time, the Paris Olympic Games will continue. The U.S. men's basketball team will compete with the French men's basketball team for the gold medal. In the semifinals when the U.S. team defeated Serbia, Tatum was DNPed again. Coach Cole explained this, but he was criticized by everyone.

Tatum did not get a chance to play in the last game of the US men's basketball team against Serbia. In the end, the United States defeated Serbia and advanced to the finals. Interestingly, in the first game of the group stage of the US team, their opponent was also the Serbian team, and Tatum also did not get a chance to play at that time.

In this regard, US Men's Basketball Team Cole explained in an interview the reason why Tatum was substituted and did not get a chance to play. He said it's not about Tatum's performance, but about the combination and chemistry of the team's lineup. Kerr mentioned that Durant's return has a significant impact on the team. This is more of a "mathematical problem" than Tatum's personal performance.

But it is obvious that Cole's explanation cannot convince everyone. The famous Lakers self-media lakeshowyo complained for Tatum: "There is no one in the world that I hate more than Tatum. But he should always deserve some playing time, right? Can't even play a minute?"

Kyle Tatum star Cousy said: "Tatum is on the cover of Sports Illustrated this month. The experts I've seen recently have ranked him in the top five, sometimes even No. 1 in the world. Now Cole Tell everyone he doesn't agree with that. In a 40-minute game, if you can't find five minutes for someone on your team to play without affecting the outcome of the game... Last week, Kerr didn't lose the game. This decision was made under the risk, but this time they were 17 points behind and had to worry about losing the game. However, this time they did not let Tatum play - in my opinion, there must be some kind of dissatisfaction with Kay. Celtics player bias."

espn analyst Dick Vitale posted: "Can someone tell me if Tatum is injured? He hasn't played as much playing time as you would expect from an NBA first-team player." Tatum's mother reposted and replied: "He is not injured. If you know why he didn't have a chance to play, please let me know. This is unacceptable and unreasonable."

Tatum's mother also retweeted Kay Celtics reporter Dan Greenberg's Twitter post said: "If Cole really feels that Tatum can't help the national team, then I don't think he is qualified to coach the next Olympics."

According to the schedule, the US team will face the French team in the final early tomorrow morning. Can Tatum play by then? Let's wait and see.
