At the early morning of August 7th, Beijing time, the men's basketball quarterfinals of the Paris Olympics ended. The star-studded American men's basketball team defeated Brazil 122-87 and advanced to the semifinals. Durant made history in this game. With 494 points, he became the player with the most points in the history of the American basketball Olympics.

In this Olympics, the US men's basketball team is led by three superstars: James, Durant and Curry. Before the game, people were curious about how the ball would be distributed when the three of them were on the court at the same time. As a result, Durant suffered a right calf strain during training in mid-June and missed all the US team's warm-up games, and the problem of ball distribution was naturally solved.

In fact, before the Olympics, the US team had injured not only Durant but also Leonard. But the coaching staff sent Leonard back home but insisted on keeping Durant on the team because the team needed his superb scoring ability. Since 2012, the US men's basketball team has won gold medals in three consecutive Olympic Games in London, Rio and Tokyo, and Durant has been the top scorer of the US team in all three Olympic Games.
