US Men’s Basketball is the ‘Dream Team’ 3-on-3 Team is the ‘Dongnebuk’
Among the 16 men’s and women’s teams that participated, only one team lost all four matches, struggling due to injury of ‘World’s best shooter’ Fredette.

The U.S. men’s team lost all four games in the Olympic 3-on-3 basketball qualifying tournament and is in danger of being eliminated.
They lost just 4 games. This is the story of the US men’s basketball team, the ‘basketball powerhouse’. From the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, when US professional basketball (NBA) players were allowed to compete in the Olympics, to the Tokyo Olympics three years ago, the US men’s basketball team played 62 games and recorded 58 wins and 4 losses (a winning percentage of 0.935). If the US men’s basketball team wins this Paris Olympics, it will be their 5th consecutive and 17th Olympic gold medal overall. They
have already lost 4 games. And they are all 4 losses. This is the story of the US men’s 3-on-3 basketball team participating in the Paris Olympics preliminary round. The US lost to Lithuania (18-20) and Latvia (19-21) in two consecutive games on the 2nd, and is the only team among the 16 men’s and women’s 3-on-3 basketball teams participating in this tournament to record 0 losses.
The U.S. men’s 3-on-3 basketball team didn’t even qualify for the Tokyo Games in 2021, the first time the sport was an Olympic sport. I thought the Paris Games would be different. That’s because the Miami team representing the U.S. in this tournament is ranked No. 1 by the International Basketball Federation (FIBA).
The problem is that shooter Jimer Fredette (35) was injured after only playing the first two games. Fredette is considered one of the best shooters in the world in 3-on-3 basketball. Teammate Canyon Barry (30) said, “With Fredette out, we have to keep playing without any substitutions. It’s tough, but we’ll keep fighting.” Barry is the son of NBA ‘legend’ Rick Barry (80), famous for his ‘underhand free throws.’
Even with NBA stars like LeBron James (40) and Kevin Durant (36) cheering them on, the U.S. men’s 3-on-3 team, which failed to break its losing streak, will challenge for its first Olympic win on the 3rd against the host country France. 카지노사이트
