If you would like to Watch USA vs Tunisia live stream online then you can do so. I have supplied you link at the end of this post on where you can do so. USA vs Tunisia should be a similar match to yesterday’s Iran vs USA – another blowout victory. No disrespect to Tunisia but Team USA is on a roll winning all four of their games including yesterday’s blowout victory against Iran. And although, USA has played pretty sloppy with tons of turnovers, their talent is just that high. On the other hand, Tunisia is just another team that has yet to win a game so far in this FIBA tournament. Since this will be more of a tune up game for USA, I just don’t see Tunisia taking a victory from them today. If you would like to Watch USA vs Tunisia live stream online regardless if you think it will be a blow out or not, you can do so The game is set to start at 9:30am EST so the game will be available minutes before tip off. The USA team is still the best team in the FIBA World Championship 2010 as they are undefeated. The current event is being held in Turkey which started last August 28 and it will last on September 12, 2010. In tonight’s game, we will be looking at Tunisia, no win at all, trying to upset the USA team. It will be hard for Tunisia to win the game for the United States being led by Kevin Durant is strong enough to win the competition. USA America in international men's basketball. The USA is the most successful team in international competition, winning medals in all sixteen Olympic tournaments it has entered, coming away with thirteen golds. Two of its gold medal-winning squads were inducted to the Basketball Hall of Fame as teams in August 2010—the 1960 team, which featured six Hall of Famers (four players and two coaches), and the 1992 "Dream Team", featuring 13 Hall of Famers (10 players, three coaches).[1] The United States is currently second in the FIBA World Rankings. Traditionally composed of amateur players, a 1989 rule change by FIBA allowed USA Basketball to field teams with professional players. The first such team, known as the "Dream Team", won the gold medal at the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona, Spain, playing in the final against Croatia.[2][3][4] With the introduction of professionals, the team was able to spark a second run of dominance after capturing only a bronze medal in 1988. A team of professional players competed in the 1994 Basketball World Championships, finishing first. In 1996, 2000, and 2008, the USA again captured gold medals. However, American dominance has lessened in recent years. Facing increased competition, the USA failed to win a medal at the 2002 World Championship, finishing sixth. The 2004 Summer Olympic team lost three games on its way to a bronze medal, a record that represented more losses in a single year than the country's Olympic teams had suffered in all previous Olympiads combined. Determined to put an end to these failures, USA Basketball initiated a long-term project aimed at creating better, more cohesive teams. The USA won its first seven games at the 2006 World Championships in Japan before losing against Greece in the semi-finals, ending the competition with the bronze medal. The USA won gold two years later, though, at the 2008 Summer Olympics with a dominant performance. Tunisia Tunisia national basketball team is the national basketball team of Tunisia. To date, they have 18 appearances at the FIBA Africa Championship, ranking them behind only traditional African powers Senegal, Cote d'Ivoire, and Egypt in total appearances. Unlike each of those three countries, however, Tunisia has never won the FIBA Africa Championship. Their best finish was at the FIBA Africa Championship 1965, when they won the silver medal as host country.[1] They also won a bronze medal at the FIBA Africa Championship 1970 and FIBA Africa Championship 1974.[2][3] Although the Tunisians never finished worse than eighth in any of their succeeding appearances, they were not able to break onto the podium again until a surprise bronze medal run at the FIBA Africa Championship 2009. Led by All-Tournament First Team forward Amine Rzig,[4] the Tunisians went 4-2 in the preliminary rounds, winning three games by two points or less. They reached the semifinals for only the second time since 1974 by another slim margin - this time a one point victory over Mali. Although they were defeated by Angola in the semifinals, the Tunisians topped Cameroon in the bronze medal game to claim Africa's third and final automatic berth in the 2010 FIBA World Championship. This will be Tunisia's first appearance at the FIBA World Championship. There’s so much at stake still for the United States to win this battle because they will prove to the World the their B team can win the World Championships. USA vs Tunisia live stream online is available on Justin TV and US stream TV. Check ESPN for the live coverage. Labor Day Weekend is one of my favorites in NYC for one reason: The West Indian Day Parade. Having been born and raised in Seattle, essentially a small town if you’re Black, simply being around 2-3 million people who look like me is something that has to be experienced to be believed. And everybody is wrapped in their national flags — Jamaica, Haiti, Trinidad, St. Croix, etc. — in one of the most colorful, upbeat parties you’ll ever see. But the parade sparks some jealously, I have to admit. As cool as it is to see the national pride on display, as an American, the fact that I don’t know my own ancestry going back to Africa truly sinks in. Clinging onto one country and one flag is outside of my scope. As a result, for events like the World Cup and the Olympics, I find myself rooting for every African nation as well as the USA. So aside from Chauncey Billups and crew beasting most of the comp, it hasn’t been a good World Championship for me. Going in, I thought Angola and Ivory Coast were the only two African reps, and they’ve gone 2-6 in pool play. Then I just found out this week that Tunisia is actually in Africa (the northernmost country), and had to add their 0-4 record to the bunch. So I’m split on this game. I’d like Tunisia to make a good showing and pick up at least one W during the tourney, but like the U.S./Iran game yesterday, we all know how this is going to end. PRE-GAME - Some coaches will yell and criticize their teams the most after a win, while taking a more quiet and supportive tone after a loss. (For a textbook example, read The Assist by Neil Swidney, about Boston-area high school coach Jack O’Brien.) I wonder how Coach K came at his team following the Iran game. While the U.S. won easy, they didn’t bring their A-game, or even their B-plus game. If Coach K laid into them in the locker room, we could see a more focused and sharp group today. If they’re feeling invincible after erasing the Brazil nail-biter with a blowout, this game won’t be pretty. - Oh, and I’d be wrong not to mention the female eye candy at the West Indian Day Parade: KUH-RAY-ZEE. FIRST QUARTER - I’m not gonna lie, me getting to the Dime office before 10 a.m. happens about as often as Eddie Murphy turning down a script. When your body is wired to stay up past 1-2 a.m. working, the morning is a monster. So as I walk in it’s about three minutes into the game, and the U.S. is down 5-4. What? - Same starting lineup as usual: D-Rose, Chauncey, Iguodala, Durant and Odom. Tunisia has five guys I’ve never seen before, including #4, who looks like he’s 50 years old. - Durant starts going to work, and the U.S. takes a 13-8 lead with under three minutes to go in the quarter. Again, there’s hardly anybody at this game, at least not in the TV-visible seats. Is it the time of day, the unappealing matchup, or Team USA’s lack of mainstream star power? - Play-by-play man (Dan Shulman?) says Tunisia is “staying well within handling distance” as they cut the lead to 13-11. - Judging a book by its cover is bad, but #4 looks like he should never, ever score on Iguodala. OK, his name is Radhouane Slimane, and he was born in 1980. I’m not buying it. That dude graduated from high school in 1980. - Tunisia runs a “continuity” offense, which involves a ton of off-ball movement and apparently a lot of fadeaway jumpers. I get the feeling they’ve been influenced by Jordan and Kobe. SECOND QUARTER - The U.S. starters played the entire first quarter, and are up 19-13. The second quarter begins with Stephen Curry, Eric Gordon, Rudy Gay, Russell Westbrook and Tyson Chandler on the court. - Tunisia’s center, Salah Mejri, is 7-1 and reportedly has potential. Fran Fraschilla says he’s not as polished as Hamed Haddadi or Ante Tomic. Is that good? - To answer a reader’s question, Tunisia looks like a poor man’s version of the Iranian team. Their PG looks like he can shoot, the young big guy looks mobile enough, and we’re probably in for about 6-7 “feisty” mentions today. They’re down 28-21 with six minutes to go in the first half. - Rudy Gay realized nobody on this team should be able to guard him, so he makes a nice move to the rack and … hits all glass. How good do you think Rudy is going to be in Memphis? How close will he come to the Scottie Pippen comparisons he’s been getting since high school? - When ESPN showed a shot of the USA bench, somebody in the office said, “Yo, did they sleep last night?” Answer: “No. They all look like bums.” - Wide-angle shot of the arena establishes that … yeah, there’s nobody at this game. - Kevin Love checks in and immediately jacks a three. Team USA hasn’t hit one yet. These white unis are doing nothing for his complexion. He looks like he’s naked with #13 tattooed on his stomach. - Tunisia’s Macram Ben Romdhane (6-8) throws down a dunk on the break to cut the lead to two. Gordon responds with a three and a dunk off a cut to the rim, but Tunisia keeps getting surprisingly easy buckets. It’s 37-33 with under a minute to go in the half. - “This would be the biggest upset in the history of FIBA World Championship basketball” is Tunisia wins, Shulman says. It’ll be a huge upset if this is still close in the fourth quarter. - Curry blocks a three-point attempt, leading to a Westbrook breakaway dunk to close the half. 39-33, USA. THIRD QUARTER - Weird game so far. Against Iran, the U.S. was trying to blow them out by 50 and paid for it with mistakes that came from trying to be too fancy. In this game, it’s like they’ve gone the other way and are playing too tight. And the defense is worse this game. - Rose, Billups, Iguodala, Durant and Odom back on the floor to start the second half. They almost immediately get split open for another easy layup by Tunisia, but Durant and Billups respond with buckets to push the lead to 10. - Tunisian forward Mohamed Hadidane drives the lane, fakes a pass like Magic-on-Sprewell and gets a nice finger roll. “They’ve already won the game,” Fraschilla says, clarifying that simply staying close to the U.S. is like a win for Tunisia. Meanwhile, they keep getting wide-open looks right under the basket. المصدر: منتديات شباب كول - من قسم: English Forum |
