On August 1, Beijing time, the second round of the Olympic men's basketball group stage ended, and FIBA announced the best performers in this round. The inductees include Jokic of Serbia, Brother Alphabet of Greece, Wembanyama of France, Barrett of Canada and Yuki Kawamura of Japan. Compared to the best performer in the first round, only Brother Alphabet won the title, and his Greece team has suffered two consecutive defeats. (Note: The five players selected in the first round are Alexander, James, Durant, Antetokounmpo and Landale).
Jokic - Serbia
Jokic wants to put the Serbia men's basketball team on the podium. After losing the opening game to United States, Serbia beat Puerto Rico 107-66. Jokic was just one assist away from a triple-double and finished with 14 points, 15 rebounds and nine assists, plus two steals and one block, for an efficiency of 34.
Alphabet brother - Greece
After losing to Australia in the opening game, Greece lost to Spain and suffered two consecutive defeats. Antetokounmpo is still playing well, proving once again why he is one of the best players in the world. The Greece star had 27 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals for an efficiency of 32, but it wasn't enough to give his team a win over Spain.
Wembanyama - France
At just 20 years old, Wembanyama performed well at the Olympics. In France's overtime win over Japan 94-90, Wembanyama scored 18 points, including three three-pointers. One of those three-pointers, which was made early in overtime, set the tone for the team, while he also had 11 rebounds, six assists, two steals and two blocks for an efficiency of 30.
Barrett - Canada
So far, Canada has performed as expected in the Olympic Games, winning two games. Barrett played a major role in both games. In the second game, Alexander's offensive performance was poor, and the 24-year-old Barrett took the heavy lift, scoring 24 points, while also contributing seven rebounds, five assists and two steals, reaching an efficiency of 28 to help Canada win 93-83 over Australia.
Yuki Kawamura - Japan
Japan came close to toppling hosts France, but a magical 3+1 allowed France to drag the game into extra time and win. After Japan star Hachimura was ejected, Yuki Kawamura stepped forward. The 23-year-old guard scored 29 points on six three-pointers, while also contributing seven rebounds, six assists and one steal for an efficiency of 24.
