The French continue to count wins - the Canadian one has now been joined by the German one. The list is good, but incomplete - they should add the USA. Judging by the USA-Serbia match, it's not impossible. And France itself was not as helpless as we had imagined.

They have already faced Germany in the group, and that time they conceded 85 points. In Thursday's semi-final, the Germans scored just 69, hitting 25 of their 61 shots. That time it was 29 of 61. The Germans missed both two-pointers and three-pointers. They also made fewer free throws. And fewer than France, even though it was the opposite in the group game. The Germans had +7 rebounds, but now it's a draw. All in all, it can be called an amazing transformation of the French national team in less than a week.

The Americans beat the Serbs 15-13 midway through the first quarter. The next time they took the lead was in the second half of the fourth.

It was a strange game in which both teams shot from distance more often than from two-point range. Both the Americans and the Serbs shot from beyond the arc, and they were falling back before it was clear whether or not they had hit their shots. No one even thought about going for the rebound. We don't know if Steve Kerr will come up with something different for France, but if not, with four offensive rebounds, it will be hard for his team to beat even Zenit.

So, we have already said that after the USA vs Serbia game, the score difference suggested by the oddsmakers looks ridiculous. France's +17.5 handicap has come in three consecutive Olympics.
