Prediction USA New Zealand – Basketball World Cup
by Florian Chassard
Team USA appears for the first time in this world, and it is clear that this formation has no other goal than to win the gold medal. Sure, it’s not the ‘dream team’ that gets into this competition, but there will be a good group of superstars in the workforce; Ingram, Bronson, Edwards, to name a few. However, good quality and depth is above all enough to give some cold sweat to the opposing teams. During the prep matches, the USA teams didn’t go into detail with 5 wins in the same number of matches. Despite everything, Steve Kerr’s men struggled to get rid of the Germans in the last game with a 99-91 victory, which they clinched in the dying minutes. The revolution came from Tyrese Haliburton with some flashes of three points and eventually Anthony Edwards finished the job. The Wolves player was particularly impressive with 34 points (on 21/11 shooting). If we expect to see Team USA develop offensively, we must not neglect the defensive qualities of this formation with, in particular, Defender of the Year Jaren Jackson Jr. In this first match of the group, suspense will reign. It won’t last long and the Americans won’t have a hard time getting rid of New Zealand…
