00:00This is a France team that is surging all of a sudden, they didn't look very good at
00:07the beginning of the tournament.
00:08They made that lineup change where Rudy Gobert, you know, originally we thought it was due
00:12to an injury.
00:13He had that finger thing that he was dealing with in the first round against Canada.
00:16But it turns out as you know, they continue to move on, it was a head coaching decision
00:20from Vincent Collet to, you know, just bench the four time defensive player of the year
00:24in favor of playing a faster, more versatile lineup.
00:27So now we're going to see the United States have to try and match up with, you know, Wembley
00:31is the focal point of that team, but you know, they have to really take advantage of France's
00:36lackluster guard play.
00:37Frank Nino Lachina is not going to get the job done against guys like Stephen Curry,
00:41against guys like Anthony Edwards, Devin Booker, who's played well.
00:44You know, Isaiah Cordonier is someone who has been shooting the lights out in this tournament
00:49so far, but he's not really a known scorer.
00:51I saw someone tweet the other day that he only scored 18 or more points three times
00:55the entire EuroLeague season.
00:56He's done it twice already in back-to-back games in the knockout round for France.
01:00So, you know, if you put a hand in that guy's face, he's going to start missing shots.
01:03And then with Wembley, I'm curious to see how they defend him, because they could throw
01:06multiple bodies at him.
01:07I'm sure LeBron's going to get a look at him.
01:09I'm sure Bam Edobayo with that second unit is going to get a look at him.
01:13Maybe this is where Jason Tatum could come back into the rotation and, you know, maybe
01:16disrupt Wembley a little bit, but you know, he's the focal point of that team.
01:19And if you can slow down him, then, you know, they're going to have to really rely on the
01:23other guys to step up.
01:24And that's why I like USA to get the job done.
01:26And that's why I like USA to get the job done.
