Anthony Edwards and his teammates will not have time to lament their loss against Germany in the World Cup semi-final, since they must think about bringing home a medal. It will be bronze at best if the Americans dominate their Canadian neighbors, who have already warned that they are determined to finish 3rd. It would be their best performance in a World Cup, and their first medal in a major competition since… 1926.
For the Americans, we must try to understand what went wrong. ” The offensive rebound » responds Anthony Edwards to BasketNews. “They dominated us in rebounding all evening. They were more physical than us.”
In fact, the Germans only took two more rebounds than the Americans (30 to 28), but they captured 12 under the American basket! “It’s just a matter of toughness. We, and me first, should have been harder and grabbed more rebounds. It’s all our fault.” Edwards believes.
The one who hurt the Americans the most was Andreas Obst who played the match of his life to finish with 24 points. “We knew he was a shooter, that he was a sniper” ensures the back of the Wolves. “The game plan was to get him out of his game, and he was able to get out of it tonight. Bravo to him. However, we tried… We fouled him several times, but we also gave him free points. Well done to him, he played well.”
