In a big week the 2023 World Cup will reveal its first secrets and on the side of Team USA we are still getting to know each other. And in the little game of the first datesMikal Bridges admits to being very impressed by Austin Reaves.
On the one hand, an all-purpose winger parachuted into the Brooklyn Nets franchise last winter. On the other, another very young player, hatched by LeBron James with the Lakers and become one of the darlings of LA fans in a few months. At what price ? That of sacrifice, and of an aggressive way of playing which is beginning to prove itself. We are talking about Mikal Bridges and Austin Reaves, two players from Team USA, and here is what the first says about the second, get out the violins:
“The underdog doesn’t matter anymore, Austin is a real player. I became a fan… I think what I like best about him is his ability to find fault. He really knows how to do it, he knows how to get to the throw line and that’s a real skill. It is not a simple fact and it is something very underestimated. People really don’t realize, but those who do know are aware that this kind of player is very hard to defend. It’s all fucking art”
Take out the candles, there’s bromance in the air. More seriously ? So here is one more proof that should make us fear this American team, which is said to be fragile for lack of experience but which brings together, let’s not forget either, fantastic basketball players who seem to be getting used to each other for a few weeks. From more defensive profiles (Kessler, Jackson) to so-called leaders (Edwards, Ingram, Brunson) to stars who will be asked to do above all what they know how to do (Haliburton), Team USA is damn well built , as my mother would say when she watches the election of Mister France.
In short, all that to say that when we’re going to put Isaïa Cordinier and Terry Tarpey on a mission on Austin Reaves… the Bee Gees won’t budge an ear but hey, we have to let our American friends get a little excited, right?
