United States – New Zealand: Have Americans started bathing?

As in every international competition, Team USA is inevitably one of the favorites to come out on top. Meanwhile, with a group of players, each stronger than the other, nothing could be more natural. However, the World Cup is still viewed as a minor competition compared to the Olympic Games. So, Team B or even E will go to the Philippines. But even with those type of teams, the United States remains a serious customer for players like Jalen Brunson, Anthony Edwards and Brandon Ingram. During the preparation period, they achieved five wins in five matches against Slovenia and Spain in particular. All signs are green for the start of the tournament against New Zealand.

The All-Blacks will have to achieve the greatest achievement in their history. New Zealand ranks 26th in the FIBA ​​rankings. In their team, only Janni Wetzel plays in Europe for Alba Berlin which plays in the Euroleague. The rest play in Australia, New Zealand and Japan in less prestigious tournaments.
