BEIJING - The players of the United States seem to have understood the message received in recent international competitions and, thanks to a favourable attitude towards Angola, added the second match won his list of triumphs in Beijing 2008 without further trouble that the logical a very demanding competition.

The Beijing Olympic tournament, despite being a white-collar raise bet (seventeen faults between the two personal computer), is taking a turn, in a sense, afraid because there is any team that can feel safe to leave one day of the Olympic village to address the flag of Wukesong-except Americans who are housed outside the residence of athletes-and return with a defeat in the backpack.

Spain became the face of Cain back to China and was unable to win extension of a suffocating game. The Americans also had a smooth face Angola, the champion of Africa, although far from the complications that had crossed Spain, the rival that everyone wants to see next Saturday to face the Americans. It is, right now, the party Beijing 2008. Tickets, of course, were exhausted a century ago.

The resistance of Africans broke in the third quarter, but until then had deparado very interesting phases within the party. The secret to resist, even partial back that threatened to fulminarles unfavourable to the first exchange, that Angola is not under the arms, which never ceased to rely on playing basketball, so moved by the track without looking the marker. He left to play and played. Without further.

United States would have had more serious problems because of not being reached 21-33 (m.12) with a ninety percent in two shots (nine out of ten) reinforced by the nine losses ball that Angolans together in this time of encounter. But when production dropped, something that was inevitable, bringing the selection of Alberto Carvalho came immediately (32-37).

Perhaps the thorny meeting that Spain had suffered shortly before against the Chinese contribute to warn the players of Mike Krzyzewski. Although the truth is that it detects an approach to the championship quite different from what transpired in the United States formation of the World Cup Japan 2006 and 2004 Athens Games.

The African approach was immediately opposed to a partial 0-10 (32-49) and, moreover, the Americans continued to guard give up the second commitment Olympic shelve differences around the thirty points, something that already belongs to third fourth, before dropping the pace and allow Angola to fix a little numbers.
