U19 Gold Medal Game - Russia vs USA - 4/30

Another layup missed by Holmes and Crystal loses assist opportunity.
Holmes is 1-7 shooting most of her misses have been layups.

Hopefully I'll have good things to say about her shortly. :)
 
Very big players and lots of great movement from the Russians. They're playing well, while the Americans look lost. Crystal is just dumping to Holmes, which should be automatic. Crystal's doing her job.

USA leads 71-70 with 5:23 left in the Game.
 
The Russian coach reminds me of Kim Mulkey. He cries and whines to the refs on EVERY play. :mad:
 
Those Russian posts are impressive! What's up with those point blank misses by Holms?
 
Definitely don't call moving screens.

The momentum has swung to the Russians. They're getting easy baskets. USA has to fight for every basket.
 
Like the U16 team two years ago and last years U17 team, there have been no adjustments to stop Russia's low post players.

Russia's low post players are taking USA's low post player to school on both ends of the court.

Ball game. And this team has some big names. Ruth Hebard? Holmes? Crystal? Not slouches. Russia has really taken it to the US, and beaten them fair and square.
 
The Russians are are showing how two bigs can play off each other. They can't be stopped. This is over. USA gave it a valiant effort, but wilted down the stretch.

Outscored by 12 from late 3rd quarter. Another late collapse.
 
25 assists from Russia... 12 from the US.... Harris has 9. That pretty much says it all.
 
Post play! Period! That's what USA is missing. Bella Alaire played the best today as the bigs go. Side note: Chennedy Carter is great and has her to play a college game or a standard college practice yet. Her fitness will get better.

Too much selfish playing, not enough rebounding and didn't stop Russia's low post game. USA will win the silver.
I don't understand how you do not adjust.
 
Walker did not see the floor in the second half? There was no answer for the Russian posts who played well together.
 
USA wins Silver Medal lose to Russia 86-82. It was easier for Russia to make baskets then it was for the USA.

Saw no adjustments to minimize the play of Musina and Vandeeza. USA didn't have a player to match up with either of these low post players.
