On Friday Japan with Rui Hachimura at the helm, can conclude their 2024 Paris Olympics with a solid. They are set up against Brazil at the Pierre Mauroy Stadium, with both teams aiming for their first Olympic triumph after each suffered two losses. While accessing the knockout stages may seem unattainable for both teams, their Group B match is around securing their elusive victory.

Noted for their rich basketball history and continuous competitiveness at an international level, Brazil's key team members encompass seasoned professionals like Anderson Varejão and emerging talents like Yago Mateus.


Meanwhile, Japan's international basketball performance has shown steady progress, attributed to their domestic league's progression and the participation of NBA players such as Rui Hachimura from the Washington Wizards and Yuta Watanabe from the Phoenix Suns.

Japan nearly gave France a shock in their Tuesday match, trailing by merely four points in the overtime. Hachimura was disqualified with eight minutes remaining in the game, which allowed the French to successfully fend off the danger and clinch the 94-90 victory. Earlier, Brazil suffered a defeat against Germany, with their offense faltering for the second consecutive game. None of their starting players were able to reach double digits on Tuesday.
