SOUTH SUDAN vs USA | USAB SHOWCASE | FULL GAME HIGHLIGHTS | July 20, 2024

[@dez_chi_boi]

I hope Adam Silver was watching, this was real basketball no superstar calls, no traveling allowed, no touch fouls, no push offs, no defensive 3 seconds and physicality is encouraged! That’s why USA struggled we’re used to a different style of basketball I hope we get back to this intensity in the NBA 💪🏾

Facts

[@aaronyu2660]

Exactly, I kinda started to see that now because of this game. That goes to show, despite the shooting skills of team USA, the old team USA dream team can very possibly give this team a run for its money just cuz physicality shakes things up for ppl, esp in crunch time. That being said, shooting skills is still undoubtedly still the most important imo, and South Sudan showed that they are no slouch at it at all

Pump your brakes. They are amazing, and played well, but team USA STRUGGLED, and it's wasn't because Sudan shut them down. 25% from the 3 is the main eye sore. Ironically I wish they made the put back dunk at the end. They earned it, but Carlik Jones and Marial Shayok stood out IMO. The rest were okay. For USA: The total number of field goal attempts (FGA) was 77, and the total number of missed shots was 40 (51.95%). The total number of 3-point attempts (3PA) was 28, and the total number of made 3-point shots (3PM) was 7 (25%). USA's shooting kept Sudan in the game.
