1. The US men's basketball team does not pay attention to the World Cup at all, may also be overestimating its own strength, NBA superstars are not willing to come to the World Cup, more is to give newcomers the opportunity to exercise, superstars such as James, Curry, Durant do not consider participating in the World Cup at all, and Tatum, Brown, Booker's Mesozoic is also unwilling to participate, most of the members selected for the US men's basketball team are players whose rookie contracts have not ended, whether it is ball skills or psychology has not yet reached the point of maturity, so the loss is not unexpected.
2. The team of the American men's basketball team is not familiar with the rules of FIBA, because FIBA and NBA are two different systems, which makes NBA players very uncomfortable, no defense for three seconds, stricter penalties for step violations, in the face of unfamiliar joint defense strategies, and fewer timeouts, NBA players are difficult to play their true strength.
3. The US men's basketball team does not have a big center to sit, Jackson plays the No. 4 position in the Grizzlies, Portis is also the No. 4 position, Kessler is the center, but just played in the NBA for a season, the starter has not yet sat firm, there is not much game experience at all, facing the heavyweight center of the European powerhouse, the US men's basketball team is very bad under the basket, Valanciunas and Theis are really blowing up the American men's basketball team.
4. The players are too young, the game is inexperienced, the oldest of this American men's basketball team is Portis 28 years old, Brunson 27 years old, Edwards 22 years old, no veteran sits, the score is behind more choice is to rely on individual ability to solve the problem, no tactical cooperation, once the shot will inevitably be counterattacked.
5. The U.S. men's basketball team lacks an absolute core, the core of the team is Brunson in the warm-up game, and it is replaced by Edwards in the World Cup, but Edwards is a rookie whose contract has not yet ended, and the game experience is far from enough, although the talent is physically strong, but it is easy to make mistakes at key moments.
