Australia vs Greece: Head-to-Head
Australia and Greece have faced each other twice in the Olympics and split the matchup 1-1 apiece. Australia won their first head-to-head meeting in 1996 and Greece came back in 2004 to redeem themselves.
Australia will have to execute an effective game plan to slow down Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo due to the gravity he has on any basketball game. Whether it's in the NBA or on the international court, the two-time MVP has established himself as an elite two-way athlete capable of shifting momentum in his team's favor.
Greece's previous opponents have been successful in their defensive coverage of Antetokounmpo, a strategy Australia will have to replicate if they want to gain an advantage.
On the other hand, Australia thrives on their excellent guard play. Bulls' Josh Giddey has a precise feel to his decision-making, while Heat's Patty Mills and Mavericks' Dante Exum will look to provide spacing opportunities for the team.
Australia started their Group Play with an impressive 12-point win against Spain but ran into hurdles against Canada and lost 93-83 to the Shai Gilgeous-Alexander-led squad.
