MATCH PREVIEW
The general impression is that the Americans played the matches in the group stage with moderate intensity. They are the best team in this tournament, and it is clear to everyone that they could have beaten all their opponents in the group stage with 10 % strength. They only had problems in the first round against Slovenia, but the Americans’ individual quality was decisive when it was most needed.
They are characterized by a fast rhythm and the desire to “break” the opponent in the first 20 minutes. Due to physical strength, dominance, and the inability to adequately match them in defense, opposing players commit many fouls. In this way, they practically give the Americans a large number of points from the free throw line, so they reach 100 points more easily than expected.

On the other hand, we cannot say many positive things about the Japanese national team. The Japanese secured the round of 16 by winning against the Hungarians, who gave them victory in the last quarter. Considering that they struggled to triumph against a very average Hungary, we cannot be optimistic that the Japanese can have any serious chances against an athletically much more dominant opponent.
There is no doubt that their main weapon in this match will be shooting from a distance and for three points, and taking into account their rather modest percentages of success, we do not believe that they will easily reach 60 points.

USA vs Japan Prediction
The two slightly more moderate and weaker victories that the Americans achieved against China and Slovenia can create a “false image” and encourage the Japanese to believe that they could match an incomparably better opponent.
The fight for a medal is starting, and we believe that for this reason, the players of the American national team will have a maximum serious approach from the first minute and will want to show that they are the main favorites for the gold.
There is no better way to “intimidate” the competitors than a sure and convincing victory, so we are forecasting here that the Americans will not leave the Japanese even a 1 percent chance for a possible sensation. Athletic dominance should be enough to limit the Japanese to a maximum of 60 points without any major problems.
