Paris 2024 semifinals preview: USA faces Serbia for the third time

Team USA will face their best challenge in these Olympics yet when they go up against Nikola Jokic and Serbia in a huge semifinal matchup at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

The best team in the world, the United States of America, had formed the best possible lineup they could send into the Games and are being dubbed as Avengers-esque with the way all the superstars of basketball have converged into one team, will face the Thanos-level threat that is 3-time NBA MVP Nikola Jokic and Serbia. Team USA has actually faced and already beaten Serbia twice – once in the USA Basketball Showcase in Abu Dhabi and the other in the group stage in Group C. 

Both of the games were blowouts, but this upcoming game could probably be the biggest test the Americans could face in the tournament. The Serbians have the biggest weapon against Team USA – familiarity – and this could come very much in handy in a single elimination game with all the necessary adjustments needed on the fly.
