Japan
Japan, the host of the previous Olympics in Tokyo, continues to occasionally demonstrate high-quality basketball, relying on excellent team play and talented individual performers.
The efforts of Hachimura and Watanabe were not enough to avoid a disappointing loss to Germany in their first game. Despite the leaders' best efforts, they ended up losing by 20 points and, to be honest, have very little chance of continuing in the tournament.
France
France is one of the tournament favorites, with a rich history and numerous titles in European basketball. Under the guidance of an experienced coach and featuring NBA stars such as Victor Wembanyama, Rudy Gobert, and Evan Fournier, the French team boasts a powerful offense and the ability to control the game's tempo.
In their first match against Brazil, there was little suspense on the court. After a poor start, the French stars regrouped and confidently won the match 78-66.
