On August 10, Beijing time, according to a report by famous reporter Shams, sources revealed that the US men's basketball team plans to change the starting lineup in the Olympic gold medal match. They will let the team's all-time scoring leader Durant enter the starting lineup and Holiday will be a substitute. Therefore, the starting five of the US team in the gold medal match will be Curry, Booker, James, Durant and Embiid. In the Olympic arena, James, Durant and Embiid all appeared in the starting lineup for the first time, and they will work together to win the gold medal.

In the previous five games, Durant served as a substitute, averaging 20.5 minutes per game, ranking fourth in the team, averaging 13.6 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal per game, with a shooting percentage of 57.9%, a three-point shooting percentage of 61.1% and a free throw percentage of 92.9%. Such an excellent form also made Kerr decide to put him in the starting lineup in the most crucial game.

In addition, Durant also has a brilliant history of Olympic finals performance. In the 2012 Olympic final against Spain, he scored 30 points; in the 2016 Olympic final against Serbia, he scored 30 points again; in the last Tokyo Olympics, Durant scored 29 points. In three Olympic finals, Durant scored a total of 89 points. Such performance must be a starter!
