For many, these two nations were supposed to meet on Sunday. But rather for the grand final, not for the medal… bronze. We will therefore be entitled to the clash between the two American teams, but it will be with much less hype than expected…
Sunday, September 10, 10:30 a.m., Manila. Team USA vs Canada, as expected.
But for the bronze medal. Unforeseen.
As strong as these two nations were during the World Cup, Canada and Team USA fell on bones. On European-style gaming academies. Not all the same, but teams with a project, ideas, continuity. Canada (following losing for the first time once morest Brazil) saw Serbia sing to them this morning, the old-fashioned way, and Team USA took two pills (110 and 113 points conceded in 40 minutes!) once morest the Lithuania and its perfect execution, then facing Germany and its madness, a sweet mix of solid NBA players and monsters of efficiency with a Vieucontinental sauce.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and his gentle gestures, Dillon Brooks and his not so gentle madness, Kelly Olynyk and his electric guitar? Showered by the coldness of Serbian hitmen Bogdan Bogdanovic, Nikola Milutinov and others Ognjen Dobric?
Anthony Edwards, Mikal Bridges and Tyrese Haliburton? Offensively present but a FIBA match is won on both sides of the field, and if possible with impactful interiors.
This is how we end up with two favorite teams… on the floor, and two others who probably knew they were too, who were careful not to say it but who will play each other on Sunday and not to win a Kinder Bueno. As the famous Kurt Helin would have said? Team USA will certainly face Canada in Finals.
