Redeem team over Angola 97 - 76
NBA Obsessed takes you into the hit and run game of NBA Basketball.
Michael Redd concentrates to float the ball
Hey, it was Angola. What can you say? Name your favorite Angolan basketball player. Hmm?
Still the US won the hoop game and they are improving.
If they have any weakness, it is from the outside. Michael Redd is the only true 3 point shooter on the team.
One of these nights, the U.S. team may need to start making some outside shots. Forcing turnovers and converting them into fast breaks has enabled the Americans to average 99 points in 40 minutes of basketball, but their outside game remains suspect - even with a 20-foot, 6-inch three-point line, considerably shorter than the NBA specifications.
Three-point shooting was a problem in Athens in 2004 and nothing has changed in Beijing. After Kobe Bryant went 0-for-8 Tuesday, the Americans are 12-for-45 in the tournament.
