A video that highlights the game between USA and China in China. USA beat China 101 to 70 in an Olympic opener in China on Sunday, August 10, 2008.
They did exactly what they wanted to do in their Olympic opener. The U.S. Team played stifling defense, excelled on the fast break and finished with authority to withstand a valiant effort by Yao Ming and China in Sunday’s 101-70 triumph.
From monster blocks by LeBron James to finesse finishes by Dwyane Wade, USA looked very smooth. It didn’t get rattled by China’s scorching shooting in the first half and managed to overpower the hosts in the second.
Most impressive, perhaps, was the squad's unselfishness. USA accumulated 17 team assists, including six from Chris Paul.
Despite not shooting well from beyond the arc (7-of-24), USA, as John Schuhmann notes, utilized its superior talent, athleticism and depth to prevail.
Wade led all scorers with 19 points on a perfect 7-of-7 shooting from the field, while James posted 18 and Kobe Bryant and Dwight Howard each had 13. Yao tallied 13 points for the Chinese.
The U.S. Team will take on Angola in their second preliminary round matchup on Tuesday.
The 2008 U.S. Olympic team consists of Carmelo Anthony, Carlos Boozer, Chris Bosh, Kobe Bryant, Dwight Howard, LeBron James, Jason Kidd, Chris Paul, Tayshaun Prince, Michael Redd, Dwayne Wade, and Deron Williams.
The 2008 U.S. Olympic coaching staff consists of Mike Krzyzewski, Jim Boeheim, Mike D'Antoni, and Nate McMillan.
