Yesterday, the U.S. men's basketball team officially announced the 12-man roster that will participate in the Paris Olympics, which are James, Curry, Durant, Embiid, Haliburton, Holiday , Booker, Adebayo, Tatum, Anthony Davis, Edwards and Leonard.
What's more worth mentioning is that the U.S. men's basketball team seems to have made up its mind for these players, and directly released a lot of photos and videos, releasing the picture of the team's general manager Grant Hill directly delivering the national team jersey to the hands of each player, which made it full of ceremony.
In this way, the discussion about the lineup of the American men's basketball team was directly terminated, and there was no need to discuss it, it was these 12 people. It's still a bit of a question as to whether there will be any replacement if one of the 12 confirmed players has an injury.
In addition, there are many people who are surprised that Irving did not make the cut. Today, Owen himself has finally responded publicly.
"I want to bless these selected brothers, I just don't fit into this team," Irving said. In addition, Irving also secretly said that he felt that the review process of the U.S. men's basketball team was difficult, although he expressed his respect for all members of the U.S. men's basketball team.
Irving feels that at this stage of his professional career, his focus should be on competing for an NBA championship. "If I have the opportunity this summer, I will go to Paris to support these friends. Owen said.
Finally, Irving's closing is intriguing: "When I was growing up, I had to participate in the selection to be selected for the U.S. men's basketball team, and I had to try out to earn respect for each other and see which five people were the best fit. It's a different situation now, so I'm nostalgic for the old days, when everyone was competing with each other. I miss the joy of getting together, but I wish my brothers all the best. ”
