Haliburton, Anthony Edwards, Brandon Ingram, Jalen Brunson and a host of other NBA stars are all beatable. Lithuania confirmed (104-110)A group of winning-obsessed Marauders who have inherited talent from decades and competed every game to the last second, with a roster of bots or a solid European core, and some support from the North American league. It was a miraculous game, a successful outside game and a perfect start. And what is perfect is not just talk.
There’s already a sense that this generation doesn’t have LeBron James, Stephen Curry or Kevin Durant, but it does have a dozen NBA players, handpicked by Kerr, who combine star roles with players from Experts from across the ocean are mixed together. Youth, legs, outside shooting, defense… The list of World Cup winners, although this year’s US championship is no longer the utopia it used to be. What now?
At present, Lithuania has given clues to punish American talents. Ball movement, reading the defense and finding consistent open shots with a rotating offense. Even if this seems trivial: take advantage as soon as possible. Team USA’s physique is overwhelming, and their individual talents will show up at some point. Even if they lost the game, they had to put their arms down in the final stage, Brunson pulls car in search of hero comeback. They did not succeed, and the leadership of the team still belonged to the brave Lithuanian team.
His situation is similar to that of Spain. No matter what equipment they have: they shouldn’t be left waiting to die.Lithuania Qualified as first in the group and will face Serbia in the quarter-finals. The U.S. fell to the other side of the draw for its first loss so far in the tournament and will face Italy. This is a day they could lose, but it’s instructive nonetheless. They are not invincible.
When you don’t even have your star…
Cassius Maxvites launched a test early on: He stifled the U.S. offense and punished with new legs from the outside. It was unusual: Lithuania had 31 points in the first quarter, trailing the U.S. by 12 without missing a single 3-pointer. They shot 9/9 from the outside! The plan went well. 19 More than they thought, though they knew it wasn’t enough.
On firm footing, heading into the second quarter, the U.S. will inevitably want to take the lead before closing the gap. This is common practice in the sport, although an American flag on the chest is usually better. Lithuania did not lower their performance in three games, but persevered.
In the second half, the inevitable sprint arrived, leaving the Mall of Asia Arena in Manila fearing that a miracle would not come. Lithuania leads by six points in the final quarter of World Cup history: 39-39! A more one-sided mark allows Lithuanians to send a message to the world. “Today for you, tomorrow for me”.
Anthony Edwards, who scored 35 points, wasn’t enough. Neither was Brunson’s last-ditch effort. write down: Bendzius, Brazdeikis, Dimsa, Kariniauskas, Kuzminskas, Sedekerskis and Valanciunas. Everyone has ten or more on their scoreboard. In his day, Michael Jordan said this: “Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence win championships’. That phrase of the goat at the time, was an inspiration for the whole planet. Years later, its motto is still valid. Lithuania, the gentleman’s team, knocked down America. It may still be a witness, yes, but the reality That’s it. This World Cup is more open than ever.
