U.S. beats China

The American basketball selection was a tribute and beat China by 101-70 in a match in which China held out pretty well the first quarter.

U.S. does not change. Anyone who has seen the last few tournaments have doubts about the competitiveness of this selection as a team. They play exactly like the previous years. Individuality pure and simple. Physical and counterattack, jumps, speed and kill people right and left. In short, good news for other teams, who hope to defeat as they have done more than once if they play their game.

But it deserves no further comment. It's his style and if they serve to win, so be it for them. If they fail, they will not learn from their mistakes. What if the police court is the permissiveness arbitration. In theory, these championships are played with FIBA rules. Why offenses are allowed in the NBA are legal? We return to the old story of the steps to leave. Watching the game against China believe that only Kobe Bryant will have blown out a resounding steps. Why? I am satisfied that in the NBA have their rules and I am a big fan of that league, but in an international tournament rules must be respected, not mold to what each team is used. Other teams have to respect the steps out, but players from USA, no. It's amazing how easily a player can go to an opponent to commit that offense. And America does not need such aids to beat any team.

I only say that watched the game today, I see the United States Olympic champion. And I hope the rules are enforced from now. They were going to overwhelm equal to China, no need to do more favors.

In these circumstances and given the first day of the Olympics, I have quite clear who will move to the next round. In Group A: Russia, Croatia, Lithuania and Argentina. Group B: USA, Spain, Greece and Germany.
