MANILA, Philippines — Throughout five games at this FIBA World Cup tournament, Team USA's opponents from New Zealand to Lithuania have jogged onto the floor with north of 30 minutes until tipoff. They have stepped onto the hardwood for synchronized stretches with training staffers and lofted loosening jumpers with choreography akin to the most structured of NCAA programs. More than 10 minutes can separate these rival entrances from when the Americans march under Mall of Asia Arena's bright lights. Team USA's in-game production, you may have read, has tended to arrive behind schedule as well.
U.S. head coach Steve Kerr questions a call during the first half of a Basketball World Cup group C match against New Zealand in Manila, Saturday, Aug. 26, 2023. MANILA, Philippines — Throughout five games at this FIBA World Cup tournament, Team USA’s opponents from New Zealand to Lithuania have jogged onto the floor with north of 30 minutes until tipoff.
Jackson, Team USA’s starting center, took the onus for his culpability amid the opening unit’s opening woes. “I think I’ve had great second halves and I have to be able to have that same gear when we first start going,” the NBA’s reigning Defensive Player of the Year said. His battles with early foul trouble have followed Jackson from Memphis and rendered him to the sidelines in the first quarter — and much of the second — in three of the Americans’ five contests.
In this upcoming knockout round, the Americans cannot wait for Tyrese Haliburton and Austin Reaves to check in and save the day if Team USA hopes to win World Cup gold come Sunday night. The team’s captain and starting ball-handler, Jalen Brunson, started 1-of-6 and scored just two points in the first two quarters against Lithuania before erupting for a dozen in Team USA’s turbocharged second-half fight. “We just need to jump from the start. We can’t wait,” Brunson told Yahoo Sports.
