The United States had no mercy.
The United States
led by head coach Steve Kerr
won a resounding 19-2023
108-point victory over Greece in the 86 FIBA Philippines-Japan-Indonesia Basketball World Cup at the Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi
UAE on July 22.
Anthony Edwards led the way with 21 points and four rebounds
while Cameron Johnson added 4 points 지울프-토토
two rebounds and four assists.
Austin Reaves and Jaren Jackson Jr.
each scored 13 points. Mikal Bridges and Bobby Portis each scored 2 points.
It was a game that was dominated by the entire team scoring.
Jalen Brunson helped run the game with nine points
three rebounds and seven assists.
With the departure of Giannis Antetokounmpo
the ‘monster’ had to feel the American frustration as they conceded 100 points for the first time.
The United States and Greece have been drawn in Group C with Jordan and New Zealand at the Basketball World Cup.
It was an evaluation match that preceded the main game
but the difference between the two teams was huge.
It was a game that ended in a complete victory for the United States
but the self-assessment after that was harsh.
Speaking to local reporters, Kerr said
My concern is the mistakes and the rebounds.
We’re playing basketball where we have a lot of possession and make a lot of mistakes from our opponents.
It’s just that we’re not playing our game and I’ve talked to the players about that.
It’s no secret.
That’s what we’re looking at.
On that day
the United States committed 20 blunders.
It is a jade that is shrouded in Mahayana.
However
they induced 17 errors for Greece and made a whopping 3 problematic three-point shots.
They added 11 offensive rebounds and outscored them 11-43.
Edwards
who is America’s leading scorer
gave a positive assessment
saying
I think we’re going pretty well.
Meanwhile
the U.S. is on the perfect track to recapture the top spot in the Basketball World Cup
starting with Puerto Rico and catching Slovenia
Spain and Greece.
Even though it is the weakest power in history
it is showing better performance in many areas such as adaptation to FIBA rules and texture compared to four years ago.
After winning both of their qualifying matches against Slovenia Greece lost to Serbia, Italy and the United States in succession, dimming their prospects for the Basketball World Cup.
Antetokounmpo’s void is still unresolved.
