Russell Westbrook of Team
USA goes strong to the hoop
off Greek defender Printezis
Giorgos. |
Team USA coach Mike Krzyzewski knows very well the in-and-out of the international game. That is why he downplayed the 28 point victory by Team USA over Greece, 87-59, which completed the tune-up run for the FIBA World Championships set to start on Saturday in Istanbul, Turkey, according to FIBA.com. For him, it was just another friendly game and he maybe right after all. The Greeks did not play their big man Sofoklis Schortsanitis and it seems to many that they held back their true form. Greece did not display their devastating game, which crushed Canada a week ago by 74 points, 123-49. But still, Team USA’s game is peaking at the right time. And who knows, maybe the departure of Rajon Rondo has turned positive things into the team. Krzyzewski thinks that the team is now ready to go to war.
“We know it was a friendly game. The score is irrelevant because the opponent didn’t have their complete team. We are ready as we can be at this time and hope to improve ourselves every day at the World Championship.”
