This year’s Basketball World Cup will be unveiled on August 25. The hosts are Indonesia, Japan and Philippines. Of course, what we are most concerned about is the performance of Chinese men’s basketball and whether Li keel can succeed in domestication, but there is another team that will also attract much attention, that is, American men’s basketball, however, judging from the list of players currently participating in the competition, it is really a lack of star flavor, which makes people disappointed. People are used to calling US men’s basketball as “Dream Team”, but this lineup is not well-known.

10 People list, no super huge

To be honest, Americans attach much less importance to the World Cup than the Olympic Games, but the players who promised to participate this year do seem to be a little short of weight.

Up to now, 10 people have been identified in the 12-person list. They are defenders: Halliburton of the walkers, Edward of the Wolves, Reeves of the Los Angeles Lakers, and Brunson of The New York Knicks; Forward: bridges and Cameron Johnson in Brooklyn basketable nets, Ingram of pelicans, Portis of Milwaukee Bucks; Center: Kessler of Utah and Jaron Jackson, little of grizzly bear.

Figure note: ingelam will become the leader of the United States men’s basketball

In this case, Ingram may be the most famous, with an average of 24.7 points, 5.5 rebounds and 5.8 assists this season. Even so, he is not a superstar, while Halliburton, Edward, although Brunson is the core of their respective teams, apart from Brunson and little Jaron Jackson, only these four have been selected as All-Stars.

In fact, in the Chinese Basketball World Cup four years ago, the US team had already played a role in the squad, but at least there were Celtics’ double exploration of Tatum and Geron Brown, as well as all-stars like Mitchell and Middleton, brook-Lopes and kenba-Walker are all famous generals, which are much more “luxurious” than this year’s lineup.

Figure note: 2014 Men’s Basketball World Cup US lineup

In the men’s basketball World Cup in 2014, the US team was even stronger: Curry, Clay Thompson, Harden, Anthony Davis, Owen, Rose and drozan, and finally defeated Serbia in the final, complete two consecutive crowns.

The lineup in 2010 was also crowded with stars, Durant, Curry, Rose, vishao, Billups, igodala, Odom, etc. The final defeated Turkey and helped the United States win the World Cup for the first time since 1994 men’s basketball.

Superstars prefer to rest or make money.

Then the question comes: why don’t NBA giants go to the World Cup? In fact, the reason is very simple. First, as mentioned above, the influence of the World Cup itself is not as great as that of the Olympic Games, and many stars have tasted the taste of the champion before, which is even less attractive.

Second, the stars are getting older. After a busy season, it can be said that they are exhausted physically and mentally. The most important thing to do during the off-season is to recuperate and adjust their bodies, prepare to continue to hit the Championship next season. If you play the World Cup again, you will definitely not be able to afford it, and it will also affect the performance of the new season, which will do more harm than good.

So after the end of the season, the big players started the vacation mode one after another to play with their families. Who would care about the meddling of American men’s basketball? Of course, they have to take part in all kinds of business activities after rest. After all, it is not too cold to make money, and no one will dislike too much money.

Only won the seventh in the last session, which is worse this year?

If the Giants don’t come, with these players, can the US men’s basketball make a difference in this year’s World Cup? The prospect is really not optimistic.

In the last World Cup, the US team with double flower Exploration lost to France in the quarter-finals, then lost to Serbia in the ranking battle, and finally won the seventh place by defeating Poland, which ended sadly, not only broke the lower limit of the sixth place in 2002, but also created the worst ranking in the Young Pioneer Team History World Cup and even the World competition!

You know, the United States men’s basketball is also the number one overlord of the World Cup. It won the championship five times and tied for the first place with the former Yugoslavia, and swallowed such a great shame. Wouldn’t it be brave to be ashamed this year? No, look at the current lineup, you can feel that they really broke the jar and did not take the World Cup seriously.

In the men’s basketball World Cup this year, the US team and Greece, Jordan and New Zealand, led by the letter brother, were in the same group. There must be no problem to qualify, but if you want to go further, I can only pray that I don’t meet too strong opponents too early.

Figure note: yokiki has confirmed that he will go on behalf of Serbia

However, take a look at Serbia led by the NBA championship and finals MVP jokich, Slovenia in East chichi, Lithuania in little Sabonis, France in Gobel and vinbanyama, Jamar-Murray, wikins and Alexander’s Canada, etc. At present, no matter who is on the men’s basketball of the United States, there is no certainty of winning, and even some may be at a disadvantage. So, will it be worse than the seventh place four years ago? It’s really unknown.
