The World Cup has been upset one after another! The U.S. men's basketball team has to face reality, and Germany and Serbia will make history
The men's basketball World Cup has entered its final stage, and the four teams - Germany, Serbia, Canada and the United States - also represent the highest level of world basketball today. But the results of the two semifinals were unexpected, and the Canadian men's basketball team claimed to be an NBA quasi-all-star level, losing 86-95 to Serbia; Although the US men's basketball team did not have a first-line big star, it basically brought out all the strength of the Mesozoic generation, and finally lost to the German men's basketball team 111-113. Before the World Cup, the Canadian and American divisions predicted by the US media "BR" were staged as they wished, but in the third-place battle. And for Germany and Serbia, whoever lifts the World Cup trophy in the end will make history!
The U.S. men's basketball team paid the price for its hubris
Remember that before the World Cup started, from Edwards to Halliburton to Bridges, they all said that they participated in the World Cup to win the championship. But this American men's basketball team, with Cole as the core of the coaching team, the entire framework of the team is unbalanced, and the players who can be used on the inside are only Jalen Jackson, Portis, Kessler, and Cole prefers to play five small teams a lot of the time. This also leads to the fact that when encountering Eastern European teams such as Montenegro and Lithuania, the US men's basketball basketball basketball area is burst, the rebound cannot be grabbed, the confrontation is not moving, and the key young cores, such as Edwards, Halliburton and others, have the ability to score in tandem, but they are not very comfortable with such a high-intensity confrontation.
The game against Germany allowed NBA fringer Theis to get 21 points and 7 rebounds, and the United States shot more than Germany in three ways, but ultimately lost. You can pretend to work hard, but the result will not accompany you in acting. As Cole lamented after the game, this is not 92 years, the United States does not have a dream team, and the German team is more worthy of competing for the championship. But to take a step back, the loss of the US men's basketball team in this World Cup is likely to make many stars change their attitudes. Compared to the World Cup (World Championships), the Olympics will attract more stars. Now this American men's basketball team, the team's role of carrying the banner is nothing more than Edwards, Halliburton, Bridges and others, but no one can enter the top ten of the current service.
After the Los Angeles media was out of the US team, took out a photo, if it is: James + Durant + Curry + Thick Eyebrows + Butler + Junior Card + Tatum + Booker + Lillard, looking at the world, who can fight? Of course, the main premise must be the attitude of the players, and contempt for the opponent will only pay the price. Taking a step back, there are not many people on this U.S. men's basketball team who have a chance to compete for the Olympic roster today: Edwards, Bridges, Jalen Jackson, Reeves, and these four are relatively not so bad. American basketball does represent the most advanced playing style and concept because of the existence of the NBA, but the problem of internal shortcomings is also their dead hole, and most of the centers of the NBA are from European teams.
Canada out is to be expected
It can only be said that the Chinese men's basketball team will really pick opponents, and before the World Cup, they beat the German team and lost by 49 points; played Serbia in the main match, losing by 42 points; In terms of the quality of warm-up games, no team can compete with the Chinese men's basketball team. Like teams such as Lithuania and Dominica who were out before, although Canadian stars are better individually, they can't get into the rhythm they're used to. Serbia is a very good team that uses the strength of the team and maximizes the value of individuals, Bogdan is the first core of the team, even if Jokic does not come, the team is like the interior Miludinov, who plays in the Champions League all year round, and Avramovic averages the first points per game in qualifiers. Height and confrontation prevail, there are shots, confrontations are fierce, and the speed is not slow, even if Canada's Alexander, Barrett, and Brooks play to the extreme, the power of a few chopsticks and a chopstick is not the same.
The final two teams will make history
According to statistics, whether Germany or Serbia finally win the championship, they will become the eighth team in history to win the World Cup (World Championship). Previously, Argentina, the United States, Brazil, the former Soviet Union, Yugoslavia, Serbia and Montenegro 7 teams have successfully won the championship. One more thing must be said here: when Yugoslavia disintegrated and split into Slovenia (Doncic), Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia (Jokic has not yet arrived), Montenegro (Vucevic), if not disintegrated, you can imagine how powerful! The three major balls: football, basketball, volleyball, can be seen in the world's top ten. Taking a step back, the Chinese men's basketball team anchors European teams as a learning model, no problem, the key is that these famous coaches are equivalent to university teachers, teaching calculus, teaching programming, but the players of the Chinese men's basketball team may still be at the junior high school level.
Future fixtures
The World Cup also has 2 matchdays, seven or eight qualifying matches: Italy men's basketball vs Slovenia men's basketball; Five or six place qualifying: Latvia men's basketball vs Lithuania men's basketball team; The U.S. men's basketball team and the Canadian men's basketball team will fight for the third place, while the German men's basketball team and the Serbian men's basketball team compete for the eventual championship. No matter what the result is, the US men's basketball team, including some stars, should also be soberly aware that in the field of basketball, they are no longer a monopoly, Jokic belongs to Serbia, Alphabet belongs to Greece, Embiid belongs to France, in the end, an inch tall and an inch strong, want to win the Olympic men's basketball championship, send the strongest team to fight!
