Devin Booker was the perfect complement to Kevin Durant in the Olympic Games semi-final against Australia. And after his good performance, he passed a message chilling to his future opponent!
In a team of superstars like Team USA at these Olympic Games, a question always arises: who will be ready to sacrifice themselves for the good of the collective? On this campaign, Devin Booker seems visibly capable of sidelining his statistics. Unlike Jayson Tatum (3/10 on the shot), who doesn’t refuse any shot, even those against the beat, DBook is often fair.
At times he is content to circulate the ball, just to fluidify a game sometimes too focused on the exploits of Kevin Durant, and at others, he becomes aggressive and flaunts his entire offensive palette. This was the case against Australia in the semi-final on Thursday, where he finished with 20 points at 70% success!
After this beautiful meeting, where he was decisive in the big 3rd quarter of the Americans, the leader of the Suns spoke on the next game of the Americans, the one for Olympic gold. And with all the confidence that characterizes Uncle Sam’s country, he sent a chilling message to his future opponents. There may be sparks on the Tokyo floor!
Now it’s all or nothing on the final. This team came here to win Olympic gold! We know it will be a big game for us. From the start all the teams have been making big first halves against us, and this time we will try to make a big start. We will do it to represent the United States.
Devin Booker came to Tokyo after his loss in the NBA Finals to clinch gold, and he seems determined to fulfill his goal. The Americans want to do it to restore their image after the defeat at the last World Cup, but also to make a whole country proud. And proud Americans are perhaps the most dangerous in the world …
Devin Booker is in good shape at these Olympics, and with a very strong Jrue Holiday, and a Kevin Durant who makes Kevin Durant, Team USA is going to be hard to take down!
