American roles that witnessed Martín Carpena Calm and calm for Steve Kerr’s team on day two of the Centennial Tournamentsuperior to Slovenia from the first to the last minute (92-62). A team that lost Luka Doncic after the blow to Spain saw a group far superior to the Europeans’ arrival at the World Cup.
And shortly before the start of the match came the news that the Slovenian star will not participate in the match. Shame on the fans who wanted to watch the biggest bet of the tournament live. The team tried to stand up but could not take the lead throughout the match. It’s a team that needs to improve in offensive decision making and doesn’t get too caught up in the feeling of the game. justify why it is ‘ranked’ as the 7th best team in the world.
Meanwhile, in a basketball like FIBA that doesn’t stand out for its voracious scorers, Anthony Edwards showed off his repertoire to finish the game with 15 points., has established himself as the scoring leader of his team. The Wolves star showed his entire repertoire: speed, physics, technique, etc. Like a magnificent 2+1, he has enough baskets to drive the whole audience crazy. When the roster was announced, everything showed that he was the purest scorer on the roster, and the predictions weren’t wrong.
Without Doncic, American domination
The United States began to dominate Slovenia. A ‘widow’ team without a big star who didn’t score until almost three minutes after the start of the game (7-2). But as the match progressed things got better and The European team began to respond with their best weapon: the trio. They managed to place three by three 25-22 in a much more balanced first quarter than expected.
But the second period had nothing to do with the previous one. An overwhelming start from Steve Kerr, 5.30 from 41-26. partial to minuteSlovenes have only scored two baskets so far. Portis was the main instigator with a triple and a few baskets that fired up his team. During The show was performed by Brunson and Edwards with a competition-worthy dunk. To show the people of Carpena how they’re doing in the NBA. They spared none and there was little that Slovenia could do (47-31).
The third quarter came after the tonics of the other two. United States takes advantage and Slovenia jerks try to stand up to an opponent who never stood up. Even their focus has gone to ‘highlights’ of players very different from the games played by either team. The distance on the scoreboard remained virtually unchanged throughout the entire regular time, with a brilliant field goal Haliburton scored the quarter’s final points. 67-49.
Slovenia tried to keep up with the United States, and it’s true that the North American team has – it seems – dropped a few gears. It seems that the group chosen by the American federation quickly adapted to FIBA standards. And little more than a room with nothing strange or surprising beyond it. Delights from Johnsons, Jaren Jackson put Brunson 92-62.
This Sunday is the highlight: Spain-United States will close the Centennial Tournament.
