Capabilities are grossly underestimated! Is the Nets wing big man really a bit low on the U.S. team?
In a previous men's basketball World Cup match, the United States defeated Greece 109-81. After this match, the United States, who won two consecutive games, qualified from the group stage, while Greece will face New Zealand in the final group stage.
In this game, the U.S. team's starting wing Mikal Bridges remained very consistent. He played 19 minutes and 19 seconds, shooting 4-of-6 from the field, 1-of-3 from beyond the three-point line, and efficiently scored 9 points, 1 rebound and 3 assists, with a plus-minus of +9. Bridges maintained high offensive efficiency on the offensive end without possession and tactical position, and he also had good passing and strategy, and was a very selfless player. On the defensive end, Bridges is still the team's reliable outside defender, and his defensive ability and defensive awareness are at the top level. Bridges' excellent performance on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends was also an important factor in the team's easy victory.
In the previous game against New Zealand, Bridges was also quite consistent. He played 19 minutes and 14 seconds, shooting 3 of 4, 0 of 1 from beyond the three-point line, 1 of 2 from the free throw line, and scored 7 points, 4 rebounds, 1 steal and 1 block with solid efficiency, and a plus-minus of +13. In two consecutive games, Bridges has been almost identical, he is consistent on the offensive end, he does not possess the ball at all, and he is also dedicated and devoted a lot of energy on the defensive end.
Bridges, who currently plays for the Brooklyn Nets, is a top scorer in the NBA, and he is the absolute core of the Nets with super scoring ability. However, it seems that in the U.S. roster, Bridges' ability has not been fully activated, he is just an ordinary role player, he does not take on enough responsibility on the offensive end. Bridges may really be an overlooked player for Team USA, and maybe he would have played better if he could have gotten more attention.
