Cole: Paris Olympic semifinal against Serbia, it s lucky to win this game

Warriors coach Cole has participated in many important games over the years. As a player and coach, Cole has held 9 NBA championship trophys, but the "greatest game he has ever participated in" in his heart happened in the international arena. On the Glue Guys Podcast podcast, he revealed that the semi-final showdown between Team USA and Serbia in the 2024 Olympics was the best of them.

Kor said: "The game against Serbia was the most exciting basketball game I have ever participated in. We were lucky to win. At that time, we had to fight every round, and our players did it at a critical moment. It was incredible."

At that time, Serbia led by up to 17 points in the second quarter and entered the fourth quarter with a 13-point advantage. Team USA’s dominance in the Olympics seemed to be coming to an end, but then the core players of the team stepped forward.

Curry, James and Durant all made efforts, and the United States won 32-15 in the fourth quarter, completing a shocking reversal, and finally won 95-91. Curry was the star of the night, scoring 36 points (12 of 19 shots), 8 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal. He stepped forward again when Cole needed him the most. After the game, Curry said this was his happiest game in a long time. Meanwhile, the excited Durant made it clear that it was a night he would remember for his life. These players prove that Team USA is not ready to hand over the title.

Although Curry's outbreak was not surprising, he scored only 29 points in the group stage and quarterfinals. That event seemed to be an experience he didn't want to look back at, but when the country needed him the most, he improved his performance. Curry then performed well in the gold medal match, scoring 24 points and leading the US team to defeat France 98-87.

Cole said: "The key to the game against France is the four three-pointers Curry made in the last few minutes. It is really iconic and incredible to be involved and leave such memories."
