On September 1, Beijing time, the top 16 group stage of the Basketball World Cup officially started. The U.S. men’s basketball team faced the Montenegro men’s basketball team. The U.S. won all three games in the group stage and ranked first in the latest FIBA ​​official strength list. 2 wins and 1 loss, ranking 14th in the latest strength list, only better than Puerto Rico and Georgia in the top 16. From the perspective of strength, this is a one-sided dialogue between the strong and the weak.

As a result, the American men’s basketball team was in trouble at the beginning. Montenegro completely controlled the rhythm of the game and did not give the American men’s basketball team a chance to counterattack quickly in each round. Fighting hand to hand, at the end of the first quarter, the US men’s basketball team took a 19-18 lead by 1 point.

In the second quarter, Montenegro is still playing steadily, and the offensive end revolves around Vucevic. Facing the blue-collar insiders of the US men’s basketball team, Vucevic can be said to have whatever they want. At the end of the half, Montenegro took the lead 38-37 US 1 point.

After changing sides and fighting once more, the U.S. men’s basketball team has not found a chance to break the game. It can only follow Montenegro’s slow rhythm and attack hard. After three quarters, the US men’s basketball team led Montenegro by 6 points 61-55.

Entering the final competition, Montenegro firmly grasped the score. At the critical moment, Reeves became the player who decided the direction of the game. In the last 2 minutes and 30 seconds of stalemate, he stepped back and made a three-point shot to open the situation for the US men’s basketball team, re-opening the game. The lead extended to 7 points.

With Reeves hitting a three-pointer, Montenegro’s momentum and mentality of chasing points was completely broken. In the end, the US men’s basketball team defeated Montenegro 85-73 and won the victory.

Don’t look at the fact that the American men’s basketball team won 12 points in this game and it seemed easy. In fact, the whole game was suppressed by Montenegro and it was very uncomfortable. The game didn’t decide the winner until the last 2 minutes. The 4 major shortcomings of the men’s basketball team.

The first shortcoming: lack of overall coordination

After all, it is a temporary patchwork team, and the tacit understanding between players is still limited. Especially in the face of European teams with high game quality, overall integrity and tactical execution, the US men’s basketball team cannot take advantage of a single player. Knead into a team advantage.

Montenegro controlled the rhythm of the American men’s basketball team’s game and prevented the American men’s basketball team from playing the familiar fast counterattack, which infinitely magnified the problem of insufficient chemical reaction among players.

The second biggest shortcoming: Insufficient rebounding ability

Compared with the NBA, which is infinitely advocating offense, rebounding, inside and defense are more important in the international arena.

In the whole game, the American men’s basketball team grabbed 29 rebounds, while Montenegro had 47. Among them, Vucevic grabbed 15 rebounds alone, plus 18 points and 2 blocks, completely blowing up the rough skills of the American men’s basketball team. inside players.

Without the guarantee of rebounds, the US men’s basketball team’s second offensive ability and quick counterattack ability are greatly reduced.

The third biggest shortcoming: unstable three-point shooting

In the whole game, the American men’s basketball team only made 5 of 19 three-pointers. Fortunately, Montenegro was not good enough, and made 5 of 20 three-pointers.

The fourth biggest shortcoming: lack of top superstars

As early as when the U.S. men’s basketball roster was released, the lack of starlight was the general evaluation of the U.S. men’s basketball team.

This led to the team’s lack of strong resolution at critical moments. The biggest player was Edwards, who scored 17 points in the second half of the game. However, the overall efficiency of 7 of 16 shots was worrying. At the same time, all 17 points were scored in the second half. The halftime is completely invisible, and the personal dominance is insufficient.

At the critical moment, it was Reeves who stood up and helped the US men’s basketball team to save the day and won the game in a thrilling manner.

Reeves made 1 of 2 shots and 9 of 11 free throws. He scored 12 points, 2 rebounds and 3 steals. He hit a big heart three-pointer in the last 2 minutes to kill the game.

Whether it’s his performance last season or his performance in the international arena this summer, the Lakers made a lot of money with the four-year 56 million contract extension during the offseason.
