In the morning hours, we saw that Damian Lillard, the star point guard of the USA, who beat France in the final of the Tokyo 2020 Olympics basketball tournament and won the gold medal, had a hard time from time to time.

Lillard, who was not very effective against France in the opening game of the tournament, especially in the USA, compared the basketball style played in FIBA ​​with the basketball style in the NBA in the statements he made before the final game.

Stating that he agreed with Luka Doncic’s comment that “it is easier to score points in the NBA” a few years ago, Lillard said, “I can understand why Doncic said that. The best scorers in the NBA often go to the foul line and shoot three-pointers. However, fouls are not played as easily in FIBA ​​as in the NBA. The game is harder. The painted area becomes more crowded due to the absence of the defensive 3 seconds rule. Referees whistle less. That’s why you’re struggling. There are many factors that make it easier for you to score in the NBA.” used the phrases.

The USA, whose jersey Lillard sweated, had difficulties from time to time throughout the tournament, but defeated France with a score of 87-82 in the final and won its 4th gold medal in a row.
