The day Carmelo Anthony and the US team caught fire


Even if nothing will have a huge dominance Dream Team 1992. Their successors for 2012 signed some big showers during London Olympic Games in 2012. years.

At that time, the American choice was especially scary, because the late Kobe Briant, Chris Paul, Chris Paul, Chris Paulbrook, Kevin Villiams, James Harden, Andre Iguodala, Andre Iguodala, Tison Davies, Tison Davill or Anthony Davil. Keep in mind and that it is also the same Davis, no. 1 Draft 2012. and who did not play any matches in the NBA, replaced in the census, which Blake Griffin was hit in the meniscus.

Just say that men are Mike Krzizevski, undefeated in preparation (five winning five games, with an average … 26.6 difference points!), Advanced in the favorite growth of competition. And didn’t take long lasting United States Prove it, those who have special It was corrected France at the opening (+27), before laminating tunes (+47) and application Historic clamps on Nigeria.

The most impressive offensive issue of all time

It was 2. August 2012. years, 13 years ago, during the evening where the most impressive offensive emissions were played.

Let’s say right now: There was never a match between Americans and Nigerar, in London’s basketball Arena. But this meeting will not be forgotten soon, because the players in the US deliver the perfect result, which is rarely seen.

Judge yourself, a quarter of time in the quarter: 49-25 in the first, 29-20 in the second, 41-17 in the third and finally 37-11 in the fourth. For the final result 156-73or gap … 83 points !!! All in percentage of success of 71% in videos and 63% in 3-PTS (29 award-winning baskets!), With 41 assists for only 7 lost balloons …

Real offensive fireworks shown by the teammates of Lebron James (6 points, 5 assists) and Kobe Briant (16 points), which we needed only 11 minutes, as well, during (14 points, 6 assists) could also save, just spending 17 minutes of the prosecution.

But the one who is mostly characterized in the United States camp was not Russell Westbrook (21 point), Kevin Love (15 points, 6 jumps) or Deron Williams (13 points, 11 passes), but Carmelo Anthony.

“FIBA MELO” in the state of grace

Only 14 minutes“Melo” actually used the opportunity to register a little thing … 37 points13/16 on shots and 10/12 to 3-PTS !!! What allows us to the American steel ratio of 2.6 points per minute and 2.3 points after receiving temptation!

Given one of the best players in the history of the US team, given its efficiency in basketball FIBA, a former wing on the wings, so greatly respected its status of a great attacker. The complete focus and “in that area” sanctioned Nigerian defense to each of his shots.

In particular, because thanks to the permanent threat posed by its all stars teammates, Carmelo Anthony constantly benefited from the space behind the 3-PTS line. A line found only 6m75 in FIBA, against 7m24 in the NBA. In the corners, it even goes to 6m60 in FIBA, against 6m70 in the NBA.

After this “Super Melo”, the United States humiliated this poor team from Nigeria. Above all, establishing a dozen choice records in this match. Namely, records: Points for players (37, Anthony), Points (10, Anthony), points (78) and points at half time (78), dots (83), baskets (59), percentage of success in recordings (71%), 3-pts baskets (29).

Average gap of +32

An unforgettable and reinforced success of this madness of the Olympic campaign, which team would be flying now (in total). He took eight victories into as many conflicts (with average … 32.1 deposit points!) And shivers alone against Lithuania (group phase, +5), followed by Spain (Final, +7).

And at an individual level, Kevin during (19.5 points, 5.8 jumps, 1.3 passes), Lebron James (13.3 points), Kobe Briant (12.6 points) and other Kevin Love (11.6 points) and other Kevin Lovin (11.6 points) and other Kevin Love (11.6 points), through the tournament …
