Original title: No more face!Dream team’s rare losing streak talent crushes the era forever

On July 13, Beijing time, the US men’s basketball team continued its warm-up match before the Tokyo Olympics in Las Vegas. In the second game, their opponent was Australia. At the end of the game, the US team lost to Australia 83-91 and suffered two consecutive losses in the warm-up match. Such a losing streak is unprecedented.

Originally, because the NBA Finals were still going on, the warm-up match of the American Men’s Basketball Dream Team should not become a hot event in the basketball circle.

Because people’s inertial thinking is that, at the level of international basketball, it is generally easy for the Dream Team to play against any opponent. But who would have thought that in the first game against Nigeria, the US team lost the ball in a panic. They had no rules on offense and defense, and their opponents scored 20 three-pointers.

In the second battle in Australia, the situation did not change in the slightest. Although the Dream Team took the lead in the game, Australia relied on its tenacity to reverse the decline at the end of the three quarters and defeated the US team in the final quarter.

Two consecutive defeats put the US team on the cusp of the storm. Coach Popovich was the first to be the target of public opinion. Many fans and even professionals are questioning Popovich’s leadership and think of 2019. The defeat of the United States in the World Cup in 2016, and now, every time they lose a goal, Bobo can only add more crime.

The big names of the dream team are also disappointing. It seems that this night, Lillard scored 20, Durant also scored 17 points, and Bill scored in double figures, but at the critical moment, the three shots were completely Inaccurate, blind attack, just gave the opponent the opportunity to fight back again and again.

Of course, the loss of the dream team can be attributed to the end of the season. Many players, such as Durant and Lillard, have not recovered from the brutal playoff competition. But this is not a reasonable explanation, because in Australia, Ingles, Sebull and others also returned to the team after playing the NBA playoffs shortly afterwards, but the former ran the court without hesitation and could act as an arrow at the last moment. , The next fast break dunk score; the latter completely released the defensive talent, and at the critical moment, gave Durant a hot pot hat.

Obviously, in the two losses, the dream team encountered similar troubles. There was not enough tacit understanding between the players, and they were used to playing star games in the NBA. The willingness to cooperate was completely insufficient, which caused them to attack again and again. Being stagnated, it also forced Durant and others to hold the ball one-to-one against the opponent’s line of defense again and again.

On the defensive end, the Dream Team’s echoes were also signed, so when they were thrown into a sieve in the first game, they were stunned by the opponent’s air cut, naturally there was no surprise.

The loss of the two warm-up games is not the end of the US team, but after two consecutive losses, they must re-examine the level of international competition. It seems that for the U.S. team, the era when the world can be defeated by only talent and three axes is over. The next warm-up matches and the future Olympics, the U.S. team needs to take a more serious attitude and take a more serious attitude. The greater desire for victory requires more serious deployment of the game. Only in this way can they continue to be worthy of the title of the so-called “Dream Team”… (Poirot)Return to Sohu to see more
