Miao rests for two minutes and the game gets away from China... |
Exactly what I said sat here in the arena. China's teamwork is often admirable, but I really thought they should've run far more plays today where Miao just iso'd her man and killed her off the dribble. Oz had no one who could guard her. At the same time, China couldn't remotely handle Cambage. When Graf remembered to play her. And her teammates remembered to pass to her. |

I got to meet Richyyy! Nice guy.
The main reason the Opals won that match is that the Chinese play 6 people mainly and they ran out of gas. For most of the game, the Chinese were blowing past the Opal defense. Opals also had a bad shooting night from outside and their guards could not get much inside to their posts. Chinese meanwhile did not have that problem and they were shooting at a better percentage for much of the game. Cambage still has so many holes in her game! If Graf wanted to take credit for her development then she has to take responsibility for the lack of it.

So you think it's a matter of cambage not knowing how to play basketball rather than the conditioning still not being where it should be. Maybe you could go more into depth about these holes in her game?

Wait, ClayK is co-signing that whole post? I got to meet Clay? When did that happen? You'd think I'd remember something like that.

I'd be interested to hear about when Graf has ever taken credit for Liz's development. As far as I know their only involvement together has been in an Opals context, and national team duties are not about individual development.
