USA VS FRANCE Full Game Highlights | Final | 2024 Olympics

Full House, fans engaged, and these two nations once again battling it out for basketball supremacy. Hello and welcome courtside, Bursty Arena, No Eagle, the Hall of Famer, Dwayne Wade, Zora Stevenson, glad to have you along for the ride and what a ride it should be. We've got these two teams once again, a rematch from the gold medal game in Tokyo, and let's not forget the last loss for the United States in Olympic play came to this team, France in Tokyo in group play, very similar team for France, definitely a different squad for the U.S., but they believe they can take this with this crowd all the way to the gold. Well, France have inserted Goliath, they've inserted Wimby, missed to do everything for this team, but also to Noah, they've made a change the last few games by putting Yabusele in the game and Corneille in the game, and it's given this team more confidence, more speed, and more length. That has been a defensive focused effort for Vincent Collet, the head coach of France, and that's what he's done in the starting lineup. It has paid dividends with the wins over Canada and Germany to get to this spot, and it's going to be the same starters, Nilekina, Corneille, Batum, Yabusele, and Wembenyama, the five for France. For the United States, well, they're going to get some length in there themselves as it takes a look at the starting line. Games we've ever seen, and Durant, can James attack in the basket? Corneille has been a star himself. Struggles in this tournament, Booker. Third gold medal, Wembenyama. Right at Embiid, a different level of early. Way to start, Brian. Middle game as Nilekina drives, can't finish. A little extra after the fact. Wembenyama, another three. Not that win over Germany as defense was instrumental. Embiid. Durant, for three, takes it himself. Oh, inside, Booker lost the. To watch a basketball game. Oh, right past Embiid. To start quickly, Yabusele. He's guard-like. And how about Wembenyama attacking? It was James on the block, super huge. Oh, what a five. Hangs in the air, lob it up, Wembenyama. Five minutes against Germany, we'll check in. Bumped on the outside by Corneille. Nilekina doesn't get the count, but to him. Short against this French zone. Inside, James fades, can't finish. Tatum, long shot. Off the go-bear screen, lob it inside. Curry. Missed France, five of 15. Make him. Tatum, corner. Puts it up. To recovery, Edwards doesn't care. Scoring games and also rebound games. For that challenge, they're excited to game since I've been playing in FIBA. And this for the United States on seven main. United States now with a four-point. Edwards, three ball. Tatum had it stripped. Tatum got a hand on it. Take the lead. They'll look for the lead. Stele and also Lesore. Physical, leave it, pull a volley. Floating. Stop, pop, good defense. Step back, three. Money. He's wide open. With a five-point lead after one. Up ahead, Davis on Wemben-Yama for two. In the semifinal against Germany. Holliday, can't finish. Davis. Games with nine points in this first half. Can't find anywhere else. And right now, Anthony Davis is playing hard not to cry as Durant can't respond. Have himself soak up the atmosphere. Polo, the veteran in there. Streusel. Fakes it there, but to Wemby's point. Pull a volley up ahead. Second chance. Makes it happen himself with a floater. And then people say it shouldn't have, but. This is a different environment and they feel bored. Now, you might say, hey, it's a second in the Olympics. Too strong. Can't move him, so he'll fade over him. Polle is literally pumping. Go away that easy. Lebron holds his ground. Booker. Back in front. Wemben-Yama. Against the vet. The officials are going to have to separate. Definitely, they're going to. Leave it. Yabusele. Looking to attack. Lebron James. On the pick and rolls with Yabusele. In Lebron vintage fashion. It's been this from the first game of height. It has been this that you guys won against Serbia rank. That's a tough shot inside. Oh, Lasore had it stripped. Durant out of bounds. James was there, but he's trying to argue that Lasore. Allowing these guys to play. You don't want it. And he's been getting against Germany. That he's made in these past two games too. Going to need other people to step up in order. Durant knocks down the situation and Di Colo can't make the defense. Big punisher at the rim. Quick trigger. On the board in the locker room. Ball pressure. Fournier trying to track him down. He can't. And one. Nilekina trying to get it to Yabusele. Knocked away. Foul is going to be called on the outside. It'll be the final foul to game. Looking for one more. Ten point. Is reigning defensive player of the year. Got him on the arm on a bio. Yabusele. Three ball. Too strong. Good read. Maybe a little late. Missed it. Wiminiama won't work. Inside. Yabusele. What a finish. Set. Holliday does. Is this. For three. LeBron James looking for another one. Booker's three. Sidestep. Three ball. Durant pull over Wembley. My shot is good. Inside. Embiid is fouled. He just pipped. He was called hollow. In the background, Joel Embiid said. 19 points, four rebounds. Fly by. Curry. Bullseye. Because of the French fan. That's a big, that's a big brother right there. Embiid gets inside and fouled again. Cournier had to reach in there and swipe down. But he talked about the only thing left for him was. Called after the fact. As Embiid walked. Speaking from experience. Not at all. It's down low. Allowed a big. Yabusele. Fouled. Directing a lot of that traffic. Curry again. To get out of the NBA, but the performance he. It feels like that's what they've done today. Down by 17 points in that game. Their story. Steph Curry will not allow. The basketball. He's four of eight tonight. Another medal. Trying to. Goals. They also lead this game. 20. Duran. Couldn't. Step into the three ball. Money. Team. Sometime you feel. Decided to get some buckets out of it. And Yabusele. The corner floats it up. No. Wembley tips. James. Ducks. Behind the defense. Showtime.

Lob it inside. Go bear. Screens allowing those guys to come off and line it up. On holiday. Step into it. Every moment. Fornier sneaks inside. Great screen right there. The best sixth man to get into this. Step jumper. No. Davis. Packed full for French basketball. Cordier. Cordier. It's fouled. Attacks on Davis. Blocked inside. We've been hanging out. We've been having fun. We've been. You're right. Lob it. Duran. Double. Lob it. Wembley. Trip there. Duran. No. Fornier three. Looking for his first point. Oh. Oh. Yeah. Doing break. It's a party up in here. Flags are waving here at Bercy Arena. We'll send out Fornier. They continue to keep fighting. Davis. Another. Wemenyama. Tees up the three. And Lasor inside. Money. Well, Kevran. Three. Making it rain. Had the same type of scoring. Lasor is fouled. You can't see that, but this is a good finisher down. France wanted that travel in the corner from Durant. Five to shoot. His ball. Down on him. Down on him. Tees it up. Knocks it down. Back on the attack. And he draws. That's a deep one. For the gold. First time ever we have the same. First host nation to win gold. That's why we were a little. On holiday. Spin. And score. Again. In and out. Again. Knocked out of his hands. Five. Step back. Jay. He banked. Or as well. The second break. Pretty much. Yeah. May have been blocked. Durant. Front. Yavuz. Drives. Because you have another guy like Kevin Durant. And James. And Steph. Wemby. Finishes. Yavuz still attacking. Pushed. Close it up. Short. Step back. Three. Doesn't. Jab. Team seasons in the NBA. First the Wemen. Big dogs. Durant. Curry. States doing just enough. And once again. Lighting it up.
