Serbia presents a different team, with or without Jokić. Consider that without the multiple NBA MVPs, they still secured a silver medal at the World Championship. It's not suggested that having such a player weakens the team. However, against the USA in the first round, they lagged, scoring 84 against 110. This performance by Serbia wasn't unexpected. It's noteworthy that they had previously lost to the American team by the same 26-point margin a week and a half ago. Yet in the second, they decidedly outplayed Puerto Rico, marking the Olympics' biggest victory - 107:66.
South Sudan, on the other hand, surprised many during the World Championship. Their success paved the way for the Olympics, where they stood out among their continent's teams. Not comfortable with being seen as underdogs in France, they proved their worth in the first round by beating Puerto Rico, notwithstanding a shaky start, ending with a 90 to 79 score. As they attempted to take on the USA, they managed to keep the defeat under the anticipated 30-point difference, scoring 86 against 103.
