The United States men's basketball team had a tough battle against Serbia. If it weren't for Stephen Curry's outstanding performance, he scored 36 points, they would probably have lost in the semifinals. At this time, Jayson Tatum questioned the team's arrangement. He said that as a key player, he was very angry that he didn't play in such an important game.

According to the latest news, Tatum even considered quitting the national team because he felt that he was a championship player and should be respected, but now he has encountered such treatment. As a small forward, he has the same height advantage as LeBron James and Kevin Durant, but his substitute status makes him feel lost.

In addition, two of the US men's basketball team's top players also publicly expressed their dissatisfaction. Steve Kerr frequently used a three-guard lineup in the game, which confused Tatum and Embiid. They believed that this tactical arrangement was one of the reasons why the team was almost defeated by Serbia, especially when facing a tall opponent. This made it easy for the opponent's guards to find opportunities and score frequently.

Edwards was disappointed with his performance in this game. He was also angry about not being able to score any points, claiming that he could not forgive this state. If Edwards cannot recover in the next game, the US men's basketball team will face a huge challenge in the final. In the match against Serbia, if it were not for Curry, James and Durant's joint efforts in the fourth quarter, the team might have been in trouble. Therefore, in the face of future games, they must re-examine their tactics to ensure that they will not repeat the same mistakes.
