Recently, Rudy Gobert, the core of the French men's basketball team, talked about the amazing performance of the famous American NBA superstar Stephen Curry at the 2024 Paris Olympics in an interview with the media. He said he was honored to be able to witness such a legendary moment on the court.
In that Olympic men's basketball gold medal match, the US team and the French team met on a narrow road. The game was stalemate and fierce. Although the US team led the way, the scores of both sides were very close and they could not get rid of the French team. The winner was not decided until the last moment. Curry made 8 of 12 three-pointers in the game, scoring 24 points, 5 assists and 2 steals, especially in the last 3 minutes of the game, he made 4 difficult three-pointers in a row, instantly igniting the whole game, completely destroying the French team's hope of turning the tables and helping the US team defeat France 98-87.
Recalling that game, Gobert felt deeply moved: "The competitors in your body will instinctively feel frustrated at that moment, but you can only be grateful and be able to witness such greatness. It is really an honor to experience such legendary moments on the court." As the inside pillar of the French team, Gobert tried his best in the game, but it was still difficult to stop the "three-point storm" set off by Curry on the outside.
However, this was not a temporary outbreak in the Olympics. In the semi-finals against Serbia, it was surprising that Serbia led the United States from the first quarter. Finally, in the final stage, with Curry's three-pointer, the United States reversed the situation, overtook the score in one fell swoop, and finally won the victory. In this game, Curry made 9 of 14 three-pointers and scored 36 points alone, setting a historical record.
Gobert also praised: "Curry is not only an excellent scorer, but his game wisdom and leadership skills are also admirable. On the court, he can always find the most suitable time to take action or create opportunities for his teammates."
As a super giant, it is relatively easy to obtain honors, but being able to defeat your opponent on the court and being a core opponent is the supreme honor.
