Returning to play in the middle of the second quarter, the American pivot committed a third fault, this time when the shot from the Lithuanian pivot was triggered.
This is a brutal 3rd foul call on Jaren Jackson Jr.
Might be a blessing in disguise though. Think Kerr needs to match Walker Kessler with Valanciunas as much as possible moving forward pic.twitter.com/1vWC0weMyf

Severe, the whistles? ” It does not matter. They played very well. It really doesn’t matter. They did the total, they took shots. It’s hard to beat a team that plays well », was he reacting to the release of his non-match.
In just 15 minutes, his lowest playing time since the start of the competition, he could only contribute 3 points (1/3 on shots), 3 assists and 1 rebound, before being sent off for a fifth foul. personal granted.
“We can be more physical, but not at certain times”
His fault concerns did not help the Americans, trailing by 19 points (31-12) after ten minutes of play, and who had great difficulty in containing the power and technique of the pivot opposite, against whom Walker Kessler was only called up for a few minutes.
SO, in training yesterdayJaren Jackson admits: “ I think I produced great second periods and I have to be able to have the same attitude when we start playing. “Already in the first game against New Zealand, the best defender of the year in the NBA was out for five fouls.
Steve Kerr had however warned him a week ago: “ He has the ability to counter everything, but sometimes he has to learn to restrain himself. He’s foul-prone in the NBA, so there’s always one or two plays where you just want him to drop, because he’s too important to us. So we show him those clips and just remind him that sometimes the best choice is to just let the guy go and not foul. »
” The rules are different, the position of the hands is not always the same when they whistle. You can be more physical, but not at times. You have to be very, very careful and be aware of being very, very precious “, formula “JJJ” who must now be wary of the Italian racket, for the quarter-final of this Tuesday.
