Stephen Curry, the star point guard for the Golden State Warriors in the NBA, is adjusting to playing on a stacked USA Olympic team where he is not expected to carry the offense like he does with his NBA team. In a warm-up game against Australia in Abu Dhabi, Curry scored just three points in 22 minutes as the Americans almost blew a 20-point lead in the last 15 minutes of the game. The game, part of the three-match USA Basketball Showcase, also included Serbia as they prepare for the 2024 Paris Olympics.

In the game against Australia, Lakers center Anthony Davis led the scoring for the USA with 17 points and 14 rebounds, with Anthony Edwards contributing 14 points. Curry mentioned that playing on the Olympic team requires adjustments in terms of rotating line-ups and playing with different talent. The USA team, coached by Steve Kerr, experimented with different lineups during the exhibition game to prepare for the Olympics. Kevin Durant was sidelined with a calf strain, allowing other players to showcase their talents.

Despite initially leading by 20 points, the USA team saw their lead diminish as the Aussies closed the gap in the fourth quarter. Kerr acknowledged that the game was a reminder not to become complacent after building big leads. He expressed confidence in the team’s ability to address any issues before their Olympics opener against Serbia in Lille. Kerr also praised Davis for his performance, highlighting the team’s depth and the need to maintain pressure on opponents throughout the game.

The next match for the USA team in Abu Dhabi is against Serbia, led by NBA MVP Nikola Jokic. Curry acknowledged Serbia as a strong and physical team, emphasizing the importance of matching their physicality and playing Team USA basketball. Facing Serbia in the warm-up game allows the USA team to prepare and analyze their strategies before the Olympics. With the most star-studded and decorated team to represent the USA since the 1992 Dream Team, the players are focused on refining their gameplay and performing at their best in Paris.

Curry’s adjustment to playing with a talented USA Olympic team reflects the team’s mindset of collaboration and adaptability as they strive for success in the upcoming Olympics. The game against Australia served as a valuable learning opportunity for the team to address areas of improvement and fine-tune their strategies. With Kerr’s guidance and the team’s depth of talent, the USA team is determined to showcase their skills and compete at the highest level in Paris. The upcoming matches against strong opponents like Serbia provide a crucial test for the team’s readiness and preparation for the Olympic games.
