The first match of the Americas Cup became a NBA relative battle. After overtime, the US men s basketball team won a good start

With the 2025 Men's Basketball Asian Cup coming to an end, cup matches on other continents have also started one after another. As the Americas, where the basketball overlord is the location, the Americas Cup has naturally attracted a lot of attention. The US men's basketball team was assigned to Group A, and the three opponents in the same group were Brazil, Uruguay and Bahamas. Because FIBA ​​has revised the rules and the direct quotas for the Olympics are linked to the World Cup results, the attractiveness of the American Cup champion has been greatly reduced. The US team did not have active NBA players to support the team this time. The head coach is former Rockets head coach Silas. With a team without any starlight, the basketball overlord started this journey and successfully got a good start with the first game of the group stage with the Bahamas Men's Basketball Team.

If you look at the player list of the two teams, you will find something particularly interesting, that is, this game was called the "NBA Players' Relative Challenge". As mentioned above, because the championship is not attractive enough, the US team does not have active NBA players, and the same is true for the Bahamas men's basketball team. In fact, the Bahamas men's basketball team can also line up an enviable lineup. 2018 No. 1 pick De Andre Ayton is a native of the Bahamas, and the same is true for Hilder and Kay Jones. Eric Gordon, who once played for the US team, was also approved by the US Basketball Association and became a member of the Bahamas men's basketball team. Klay Thompson, who was born in the Bahamas and played for the US team, is also seeking opportunities to play for the Bahamas, but in this Copa America, none of these faces appeared on the Bahamas men's basketball team's roster.

On the contrary, someone's cousin and cousin are filled with the rosters of the two teams. For example, Jerian Grant, who contributed 11 points and 7 assists in this game and made great contributions to the American team's game, is the brother of Trail Blazers star forward Jerami Grant. Isaiah Mobley, who scored 18 points, 10 rebounds and double-double for the Bahamas Men's Basketball Team, is the brother of the new DPOY and Cavaliers star center Mobley Jr. In addition to the figures of Zach August, who contributed 14 points, 2 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals, such as players such as Zach August, who has NBA history, scored the highest 28 points in the game, and played in the summer league for the Lakers. The NBA players seem to have not come, but they seem to have come again.

As for the progress of the competition, it can be described as ups and downs. After the first half, the US men's basketball team was still behind. After the regular season, the two sides tied. It was the final battle in overtime that the basketball overlord won the game in one fell swoop with a better lineup depth. Although he won 12 points in the end, the stalemate of the game was far from what the final score could reflect. To some extent, Silas's coaching ability is indeed a bit worrying, which may be a major factor restricting the progress of this star-stunning American team. Fortunately, I still won the game, and let us wait and see if the US team, which ended in the semi-finals three years ago, can make it on the championship podium this time.
