Commento della Associated Press riportato sul sito NBA (che ha in prima
pagina i nomi di Giacomo Galanda e Gianluca Basile: almeno loro li
scrivono correttamente e non fanno come Studio Sport di Italia Uno che
oggi, in sede di presentazione della partita ha fatto un clamoroso 0/2
nominando tali Anthony Carmelo e James Lebron!):
COLOGNE, Germany -- The U.S. men's Olympic team did more than merely
lose. It was embarrassed and exposed like never before in international
competition.
Losing an exhibition game for the first time when using NBA players, the
Americans were completely outclassed by lightly regarded Italy, never
even making it close in the fourth quarter of a 95-78 upset Tuesday.
"This is a wakeup call for us," Philadelphia 76ers star Allen Iverson
said. "I think we need something like this to understand it's not going
to be easy."
The Americans were sloppy with the ball and couldn't handle Italy's zone
defenses and 3-point shooting. Italy not only made 15 from behind the
arc but showed superior ball movement and poise in handing the Americans
their most lopsided defeat since pros began competing in 1992.
"They're going to be in for a lot of lessons for the next few weeks,"
U.S. coach Larry Brown said. "It's a young team, and it's a different
game internationally."
Nuggets forward Carmelo Anthony led the Americans with 17 points, and
two-time NBA MVP Tim Duncan added 15.
Italy, whose roster is filled entirely by players from that country's
league, was led by Giacomo Galanda's 28 points and Gianluca Basile's 25.
While the Italians were fifth at the Sydney Olympics, the United States
is unbeaten at the Summer Games and in Olympic qualifying since NBA
players were allowed in 1992, taking four straight gold medals. It will
seek a fifth in a row at the Aug. 13-29 Athens Olympics.
But the United States is sending its youngest team to the Olympics --
the average age is 231⁄2 -- since the door opened for NBA players.
At the 2002 World Championships, an American team with NBA players was
beaten for the first time, 87-80 by Argentina. The United States went on
to lose twice more in that tournament and finished sixth.
In an effort to avoid a similar display, the current U.S. squad is
touring Europe before heading to Greece. On Wednesday, it will face a
Dirk Nowitzki-led Germany, which beat Italy 85-77 Sunday.
On Tuesday, Iverson's jump shot trimmed Italy's lead to 56-52 with just
under three minutes left in the third quarter. But the Americans never
got closer. On Italy's next two trips down the floor, Basile made
3-pointers that stretched the underdogs' lead to 62-52.
Iverson winced when Massimo Bulleri made a 3-pointer despite falling
down and having the past NBA scoring champion's hand in his face late in
the third quarter.
The Americans had all sorts of problems on defense and offense, getting
called for three shot-clock violations and several traveling calls in
front of 14,831 spectators.
The Italians were 15-of-35 from behind the line, while Americans went
just 4-for-13, justifying Brown's fears that his team might be short on
pure shooters.

 nominando tali Anthony Carmelo e James Lebron!):
nella persona di Stefano Vegliani che č riuscito a mettere pure l'accento
sulla "e" di Lebron...
Ma non ci si puň aspettare dipiů da uno che di solito sta sulle piste da
sci!
