Ua pani ʻia ka hapa hope mua o ka hui kinipōpō hīnaʻi kāne ma ka ʻOlumepika Tokyo i ke awakea o ʻAukake 5. Ua lanakila ka hui ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa i ka hui ʻAukekulelia 97-78 a ua alakaʻi i ka loaʻa ʻana o nā tikiki no ka hope.
Ma kēia ʻOlumepika, ʻaʻole i hoʻouna ka hui US i ka papa inoa ikaika loa. ʻAʻole i hele nā hōkū ʻelima ʻo James, Curry, Harden, Leonard, a me Davis. Ua lilo ʻo Durant i hōkū nui loa.
ʻO Durant (waena) a me kāna mau hoa hui e hoʻokiʻekiʻe i ka lima
Ua emi iho ka mana hoʻouka kaua o ka hui US, a ua kālele nui ke kahua i ka pale. ʻOiai he mīkini helu ʻo Durant, ʻaʻole ʻo ia e hoʻokaʻawale i ka hoʻoikaika ʻana ma ka ʻaoʻao pale, e ālai ana a e ʻaihue ana.
Pāʻani pū kēia mau mea pāʻani o ka hui ʻAukekulelia i ka makahiki holoʻokoʻa, a ʻoi aku ka kiʻekiʻe o ka hoʻomaopopo ʻana malū ma mua o ka hui ʻAmelika. Ma lalo o ke alakaʻi ʻana a Mills lāua ʻo Ingles, ua lanakila ka "Kangaroo Army" i ka hui ʻAmelika me ka nalu o ka "ua ʻekolu kiko".
ʻOiai ua pale maikaʻi nā mea pāʻani ʻAmelika, ʻaʻole hiki iā lākou ke hoʻōki i ka pā ʻana o ka hoa paio. Ua alakaʻi mua ka hui ʻAukekulelia he 41-26 i ka hapaha ʻelua. Ua hana ʻo Ingles, Ixum, a me Goulding i ʻelua mau kī ʻekolu. Ua hala ʻo ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa i nā kī ʻekolu he 10 mua, a ʻaʻole a hiki i ka pana 11 i hiki ai i ka hōkū Suns ʻo Booker.
Ma mua o ka pau ʻana o ka hapaha ʻelua, ua alakaʻi ʻo Durant i ka hui US i kahi hopena hoʻouka kaua, e hoʻemi ana i ka ʻokoʻa helu i 42 a 45. Ua loaʻa iā Durant he 15 mau helu i ka hapa mua, ʻo ia wale nō ka mea pāʻani ma ka hui US i hiki i nā helu pālua. Ua hana ka hui US i kahi kī ʻekolu anuanu a hana i 2 o 13 mau pana i ka hapa mua.
ʻO Popovich, ke kumu aʻo o ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa
Ma hope o ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka hapaha ʻekolu, ua pana pinepine ʻo Durant i nā pana waena, a ʻo kāna mau pana kiʻekiʻe i hoʻolilo i nā hoa paio i mea kōkua ʻole. Ua ʻaoʻao pū ʻo Luck me ka hui US. Ua hoʻokuʻu ke kikowaena o ka hui ʻAukekulelia ʻo Langdale i ka pōleʻa mai ka wāwae o Durant, akā ua hāʻawi ka luna kānāwai i ka pōleʻa i ka hui US. I nā pāʻani kinipōpō kāne o nā Pāʻani ʻOlumepika, ʻaʻohe mana o ke kumu aʻoaʻo e hoʻopiʻi i nā hoʻopaʻi, a ʻaʻohe wikiō e pāʻani ʻia.
Ua pāʻani ʻo Mills no ka Spurs ma lalo o ke alakaʻi ʻana a ke kumu aʻo US ʻo Popovich no 10 mau kau, a ua hui pū ʻo ia me Durant's Nets ma ʻAukake 4. ʻOi aku ka holomua o nā kapu holoʻokoʻa a Popovich i kāna mau haumāna mua. ʻOiai hiki iā Mills ke helu, ua haʻahaʻa kāna pakeneka pana.
ʻO Holiday kekahi o nā hōkū alakaʻi o ka poʻokela NBA hou ʻo Bucks. ʻAʻole wale ʻo ia i kiaʻi iā Mills, akā ua helu pū ʻo ia i ka hapaha ʻekolu.
Ua hoʻomaka ka hui ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa i ka "ua ʻekolu helu" i ka hapaha ʻekolu. Ua hana ʻo Booker, Durant, a me Tatum i nā helu ʻekolu. Me ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka huhū hoʻouka kaua 32-10, ua lawe ka hui ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa i kahi alakaʻi 74-55. Ua komo ka pono i ka hapaha ʻehā. Ua nalowale ka pīhoihoi o ka pāʻani ma mua o ka papa manawa, a ʻo LaVine wale nō, ka poʻokela hoʻokūkū slam dunk mua, i hoʻokō i kāna mau akamai kūikawā kekahi ma hope o kekahi.
He mea hana ʻoihana ʻo Siboasi no ka hana ʻanamīkini hoʻomaʻamaʻa kinipōpō hīnaʻi, kamīkini pana pōpeku reboundinghiki ke kōkua i nā mea pāʻani e hoʻomaikaʻi i ko lākou mau mākaukau, inā makemake ʻoe e kūʻai a ʻoihana paha, e ʻoluʻolu e kelepona mai:
