[Iluvacc2]

Did the Vegas players get there?

I saw Plum and Gray have arrived. Not sure about Wilson yet.

After how the US looks against PR, might give them some more rest. Although CN should be a very different animal with size at least. Wonder how Han Xu will do?

 

[bbsamjj]

Wilson has also arrived. Will be interesting if they are suited up for China. The rest of the team has looked really good on defense.

I personally hope not. Even without the parade, the time change and jet lag alone would be nasty. I remember what it feels like flying to England and the time difference isn't as significant.

USA and China to Clash in Group Phase at 2022 FIBA Women's World Cup

The USA enters the Group A matchup having won 24 consecutive World Cup games, the longest streak since winning 26 from 1994 through 2006. China is looking to improve to 3-0 in Australia while also hoping to reach the final for the first time in 28 years.

The USA will receive some reinforcements for the game on Saturday. The final three players on the roster, Kelsey Plum, Chelsea Gray and A’ja Wilson will be ready to take the hardcourt after being crowned WNBA champions with the Las Vegas Aces; a perfect time to arrive according to Reeve.

“We’ll get some time in the morning before we play against a really good China team tomorrow so the depth will be helpful,” Reeve said.

Damn...................I know I was a wreck for days and I was a teen at the time.

I agree based on what I saw from Jonquel Jones in her first game. Game 2, she was better.

Alyssa Thomas and Brionna Jones played the Belgium game one day after arriving, and Thomas had an outstanding game.

 

[JellyBean]

Shakria Austin put up a monster game. 19/10 plus 3 blocks. Very impressive.

Looks like Wilson “showed up” by the 4th quarter.

I don't know if it is the standard format for such articles but the table in this NCAA article on the current World Cup squad by including their tournament record and titles is stark.

Obviously is wrong, they have A'ja with as many rebounds as points.

Obviously is wrong, they have A'ja with as many rebounds as points.

The points are correct, but the rebound total should be 1,195 rebounds.

 

[MilfordHusky]

The team looks surprisingly good. They have changed their emphasis. It's now pressure defense and attacking the rim. I think many of the 12 could be on the 2024 Olympic team. I'd say that Sabrina and Betnijah have been the weakest performers, but they haven't been bad. I think, in 2024, Pheesa, Paige, and Aliyah Boston could well be on the team.

I was just getting ready to post that I think Cheryl Reeve has done a very good job orienting this team toward a style that is effective given their high talent level but nearly nonexistent practice time.

It's an extremely different look than what we're used to seeing from Reeve through the Lynx. And it needed to be.

AT has surprised me the most. If she remains healthy I absolutely believe she should start on the Olympic team alongside Stewie and A’ja. They all compliment each other so well. Gray is cementing herself as the nominal point guard pick, now the shooting guard spot is completely up for grabs.

At this point, who else would start ahead of her? She has my vote for tournament MVP so far, and I'm probably not the only one.

The only other player I would start in front of her would be a healthy Pheesa.

And imagine if she was on this roster right now? Man.

No way , not in a million years.

 

[GCKSFN4L]

Eh, I really like Phee but she hasn't proven herself on the world stage yet like AT has in this tournament. Sure she was a part of the Olympic team but she didn't contribute much to be guaranteed a spot over someone like AT.

 

[MSSportsGuy]

I had some doubts but AT has been gangbusters this tournament.

May not be the popular opinion here but i agree. AT is ahead of Pheesa right now if i had to choose one spot with those 2 players left. Maybe last season it would have been Pheesa but AT's overall improvement this season is something Pheesa has not accomplished yet at least on the defensive end.
