Why the United States will be boned at the World Cup: TrashTalk investigated

In three days the basketball world (at least its hard bangs) will have its eyes riveted on China, to live the first world championship in history to 32 teams. All the countries of the world in short, except the Faroe Islands and Vanuatu. But past this geographical lie, let us rather look at the country that rhymes with basketball: the United States. First observation? Basketball does not rhyme with US at all, or you really have a big ear infection. Second observation? Team USA could be exploding in September, and we'll explain why.

Habits are made to be changed and that's good, we announce that this year is the good. Tired of seeing this condescension so American, tired of being cut up without even defending himself, this time we go to action and we stick to them a good rust. Because the opportunity is too beautiful. Aside from one or two All-Stars or similar, Team USA will be in China with a damaged roster, talented but terribly winnable. We have nothing against Brook Lopez or Jaylen Brown, but something tells us that Jokic, Giannis, Rudy and co. have what it takes in store to put an end to a domination that has been going on for too long. With a foreign MVP for the first time in more than ten years, the world is still opening up a little more and if the US cyborgs are obviously legions, their international opponents are gradually forgetting their complexes. Giannis, Nikola Jokic, but also Joel Embiid while waiting for Luka Doncic or R.J. Barrett, some of the best players in the world are not born in the country of Uncle Sam and the trend could well influence the results of this World Cup …

Of course the first round will be a formality for Team USA, a warm-up, even if we see the Turks of KD Osman put the Americans, a first time, in front of their difficulties. The following ? We are looking forward to the confrontation between the Greek Freak and its second country of adoption, in what could be one of the finest games of the group stage. First defeat of the cainris? Possible. Otherwise … France could stand on the road of their cousins ​​and may be a little short in the second round but Evan, Rudy, Nando, Vincent (the future MIP of the tournament there) and others may also offer some grin to Gregg Popovich. All before sending them in half face to Spain or Serbia according to who will have played the game or not, and this is where our crystal ball sees off the tears of Donovan Mitchell, unless it is Australia which becomes the bête noire of this team after this first defeat inflicted in 13 years. Because it's written here, Team USA will lose in this World Cup. A match, maybe even two or three, because the delta between a very weakened team and others who point the knife between the teeth and the gun on the belt will be too wide. Maximum decomplexion, no reason to blush against Derrick White or Mason Plumlee, and in the end, American buddies who will come home under the jeers, before sending to the Tokyo Olympics a team composed of Stephen Curry, Damian Lillard, Russell Westbrook, James Harden, Klay Thompson, Kevin Durant, Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, LeBron James, Anthony Davis, Andre Drummond and Mason Plumlee, because Mason Plumlee is always there in major events.

We note it here (finger) black on (keyboard) white: Team USA will lose, Team USA will be ripped. Bullshit has lasted too long, it's time for the rest of the world to be heard. Or not…
