Canada 93-83 Australia.

The two teams combined have a total of 19 active NBA players, the most in the group stage.

The results were clear, with Canada, NBA players and more big names, having the last laugh.

It is worth mentioning that this battle is also a duel between the Thunder's old teammates.

Alexander scored 16 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks on 8-of-10 shooting in 24 minutes;

Giddey shot 7-of-14 from the field and finished with 19 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists, losing the game but not losing his stats.

Counting the 17 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists in the first game against Spain, Giddey currently has a total of 36 points, 15 boards and 14 assists in the two Olympic games, and is the same as the ball core in the international arena.

In other words, Giddey has always been very comprehensive in FIBA, and he contributed 19.4 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists and 1.6 steals on average 54.2% shooting per game in the World Cup last year.

Now it seems that the Olympic version of Giddey is stronger than the World Cup.

It is worth mentioning that Giddey took the initiative to apply for a trade to leave the Thunder this offseason, and then was sent to the Bulls, which actually has something to do with Alexander.

Because both of them need the ball in their hands, and Giddey can't compete with Alexander in the Thunder, so he can only find another job.

It is believed that the Bulls management will laugh in the toilet after seeing Giddey's performance in the Olympics.

So is Thunder's intestines all repentant?

It may feel a pity, but regret can't be talked about.

It was enough to have Alexander with the ball in the backfield, and Giddey was exchanged for Caruso, who had been selected for the defensive team for two consecutive years.

Now the Thunder can form a starting lineup of Alexander + Caruso + Jalen + Chet + Hatten, and really have the strength to win the championship.

Speaking of Canada, with a 2-0 record in the group stage with a win over Australia, they have already secured a place in Group A and become the first team to qualify for the men's basketball group stage at the Paris Olympics, worthy of the combat power list second only to the United States men's basketball team, the strength is extraordinary.

But Canada is not without its troubles, such as Nuggets core guard Murray, who seems to have brought this year's inefficient offensive form of the NBA playoffs to the Olympics:

2-of-6 shooting in the first game, 8 points and 3 assists, plus/minus -21; In the second game, he shot 2-of-7, with 5 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocks.

Perhaps after seeing Murray's performance in the Olympics, the Nuggets management slowly withdrew the four-year contract extension worth more than $200 million, and Mr. Yoo looked like he wanted to cry without tears!
