00:00Now, it's huge for this competition.
00:03Yeah.
00:04And I dare say, they have just two,
00:07they're the one best perimeter defender on the squad.
00:09Very often, she's the best player on the floor.
00:12We're going to see how she does in this one.
00:14And last but not least, there's Alexandra Mollenhauer.
00:19You got to expect the candidate will be able to.
00:21Lux Koso is going to get her looks.
00:23Yes.
00:23Can Azerbaijan match that firepower from the perimeter?
00:26We will find out.
00:28Oops.
00:28It's a professional ball in Serbia a few years ago.
00:34Now, Frazier will facilitate Mollenhauer.
00:39Lost it inside.
00:41That's the mismatch they won.
00:42It's tough of a defender as Basse is.
00:45CK do nothing to breathe once you get it that deep.
00:49It's quite surgical.
00:51NGA.
00:52Put a foot on the accelerator.
00:55Show him some of that speed.
00:58That one's probably a little bit better off the dribble.
01:01A 2-2 start.
01:04That one skipped.
01:07Also in the women's series, they did well.
01:09Yeah.
01:10They've been a studly and moving program.
01:14I don't know how it can't finish it, though.
01:17Carter now caught in a switch.
01:18They got to get that to SBA.
01:21Wild shot on the interior.
01:25Carter taking her time.
01:27Crossing.
01:27Working on Seisha.
01:29Grant Allen.
01:29And I'm going to call her AC.
01:31The voice of the XT.
01:33Kyle Montgomery is here.
01:34Basse Wilson on the mountain.
01:36Olympic implications on this year's tournament.
01:39As the winner of this Champions Cup is in the red-qualified spot to the OQT.
01:45Designed for sympathy for Cup winners in 2028.
01:49Oh, pull it past.
01:52Took great shot.
01:53Barbed in the bucket.
01:55Great vision from Luke, who struggled with her shot here early.
02:00Now, right.
02:04Grant Allen with six points.
02:07In this case, I say all of her connectiveness, all of the stuff that she brings, getting extra possessions, getting
02:14stops.
02:14Agreed.
02:16No, agreed.
02:17Look, she is a bit of a liability in that regard.
02:19But we've seen games from where she actually hits that.
02:23Rosen running into trouble.
02:26And somehow the Wilson finds its way to Grant Allen.
02:32That's better to have the Wilson.
02:37Blue.
02:39Nubbin has fired.
02:42Canadian team.
02:45Focused on scoring on the inside.
02:48They still trail this thing by two.
02:51Rosen.
02:53Wide open.
02:56It's been another highlight play.
02:58I'm about to say, that was a great take.
03:00Rosen's hamstring.
03:02A little bit stretched.
03:04Oh, and there's, there's Basz Spice.
03:08We're under two minutes left.
03:10Canada with only two fouls.
03:13So they'll be perfectly accepting to, uh, competing it inside the Frazier.
03:18What they don't want is for Azerbaijan to start connecting from the long range.
03:21The Frazier bucket.
03:25And a three-possession lead for Canada.
03:28Basz Spice getting loose on the baseline.
03:31Look at that.
03:34I can see Basz is going to it all of a sudden.
03:38The Frazier, continuing to assert herself from the side.
03:46The two-ball has been the difference.
03:49Hasn't been so efficient for Canada.
03:51They missed a bunch of them, but the cue that they've made, it made the difference.
03:56Thanks.
04:01Just lets the clock run out with the victory in the bag for Canada.
04:09And, uh, speaking of shooters, is anybody better than Lorena?
04:14I don't think so.
04:15Sandra, you get a V-day.
04:18Sampovari, pitch one.
04:22He's back after scoring, uh, nine points in that upset win over, over France.
04:29Tough hill to climb through the tie.
04:31They'll try to duplicate that 2025 performance, and here we go.
04:35From Bangkok, Thailand with the opening possession.
04:38Sandra Ngueravide was showing some tough defense early,
04:41but a wide-open shot goes begging for Thailand.
04:45La Reina.
04:47Can't make it rain on the first two attempts,
04:49but the Wilson finds its way back to her.
04:51They reverse it to the right wing.
04:55Back to scary Sandra.
04:58Yep.
04:59Everett last year, right?
05:00They played for the year, but got a bronze medal, as you remember.
05:03That's one of the hardest-class bronze medals I've ever seen.
05:06They struggled with their shooting.
05:07They struggled with their weight.
05:08They got the screening.
05:09They got the chemistry.
05:11If you want to beat them, you got to make some, uh,
05:13some of the, something out of these opportunities.
05:15Oh, got another one back-to-back, two-piece combos for Sandra Ngueravide.
05:23She's a lethal weapon for the Spain team.
05:27You cannot give her a look.
05:30And this is after she had a bit of a down-ear shooting last year across all competitions.
05:36Talk to her about that, and she was frustrated with it,
05:38but she said, I'm going to keep working, I'll come back next year.
05:40And she did, and she starts to see her off pretty sharp.
05:43Yeah, she didn't play with, uh, last year's Spain team that was, uh, at the Champions Cup.
05:48This, uh, this season she's coming in fresh and locked and loaded.
05:55Two pitchers in this one.
05:57Santavo Paz Chiappone.
06:02And in the roar of the crowd, you can know that, uh, Thailand is on the floor.
06:07One, two, three, six, one, and it's easy.
06:09You got Avide, all gas, no breaks.
06:13He's got five, it's Spain, seven.
06:15Shot way off target.
06:17Layup is missed as well.
06:19And kicked out.
06:21Spain now, on the attack.
06:22You got Avide assessing, unleashing.
06:25Lorena making it right.
06:30She'll get that sorted out as her teammates
06:32trying to make good on this possession.
06:35Camelion, with the ball fake, drops off the dish inside.
06:39The splits.
06:40Hey, no, you're going to throw me back like that.
06:42I'm sorry.
06:44Turn one.
06:49Bednick.
06:50Turn around when I'm talking to you.
06:56Camelion.
06:57Move it left.
06:58Top of the key.
07:01She'll eventually get it over to, uh, you got Avide.
07:05An uncharacteristic miss for her, but she makes up for her with a layup inside.
07:10Monadi.
07:14Down screens.
07:19Oh, nice score there that time.
07:22You got Avide now looking for an open teammate.
07:26Wait to find Vega, who finds the bottom of the net.
07:32Down to Canel.
07:40So, the body.
07:42Monfo.
07:44Braccia will get it clear.
07:48You got Avide.
07:52I'm over to stop here on the baseline.
08:00Costco pass.
08:02Live or die by the, uh, by the two.
08:05No, yeah, you're right.
08:06But they had the personnel.
08:07I think they have the personnel now to drive, to get to the basket.
08:10What a shot by Igurovita, by the way.
08:12The victory.
08:14Another three minutes to go.
08:16Vegas.
08:18Las Vegas.
08:19Straight money.
08:22Nine.
08:25Wow.
08:28Ridiculous.
08:30Tough play attempt.
08:31Won't go.
08:32King-backs.
08:35Superbody.
08:37That last bucket.
08:38But here's the last bucket of the game.
08:40Griesen.
08:41Griesen.
08:4321-7.
08:44Last year it was 21-8.
08:47I think four twos in this game for, for, um, Thailand.
08:52And they win.
08:53You're right.
08:53But they're going to have to get to their spots to get those twos.
08:56And what we saw was that Spain in their first game was able to pressure them out of the looks
09:00they wanted.
09:02Pretty much puts it out of reach.
09:04Not, not completely.
09:06Not completely.
09:06There are scenarios.
09:07There are crazy scenarios.
09:08But in, in this group, with Canada and Spain, uh, I, I think that's pretty much a death sentence.
09:14An 0-2 start.
09:15So a critical game.
09:17As we sprint to 21, game number seven of the day.
09:21Here we go.
09:23Quick knee inside to Mollenhauer and a whistle.
09:29Mollenhauer's rest of establishing position against Metney.
09:35And we go right back to her.
09:37She came to live with us.
09:42Moving to the baseline.
09:45And Rylan is converted.
09:47Quick coach step.
09:50Fennison on the opposite side of the bucket.
09:54Mollenhauer.
09:57Krasier from the elbow now.
09:59Up to AC.
10:03Carter.
10:04Sneak dish to the cutting Krasier.
10:07Two ball on the way.
10:08And all fine.
10:10That's a shot.
10:11You talked about the start of the game.
10:12Krasier from the firing.
10:13Half the high goes.
10:18Left Krasier.
10:21Facilitate.
10:22Nice pass to Mollenhauer.
10:25And a little bit too slow on the closeout.
10:28Superbody makes okay.
10:30Krasier.
10:32Reverses it.
10:33To AC.
10:35Halfway down and then out.
10:37Jump hook will go for B.
10:39Krasier.
10:52Back up to AC.
11:13Mollenhauer all by himself to knock down the middie.
11:18The impact Erika Carter is making on the game right now.
11:22Two passes for scores.
11:23A steal as well to get a team and extra possessions.
11:26He's doing all the little things.
11:27How about that last layup?
11:29Some extra sauce.
11:31Daniel.
11:32Up the strike.
11:33Yeah.
11:39The card is setting up.
11:41Azerbaijan inside.
11:42Crazy.
11:44It's been a rough and tumble kind of contest.
11:48They'll let Mollenhauer get busy on the inside this time.
11:53Stroke and stroking.
11:56Azerbaijan.
11:58That's out of hand yes.
12:00At least that possession.
12:02That will apply this mark.
12:04Crazy.
12:09Azerbaijan.
12:10Have an outside shot again now.
12:15Mollenhauer straight down the avenue.
12:18On the back four front of the way.
12:20Easy bucket.
12:23Azerbaijan's offensive left a little bit to be desired.
12:26The defense is playing well.
12:34Another break.
12:41Wide open lane.
12:43That is converted.
12:46Mollenhauer's offensive.
12:48Krasia.
12:49Drop step.
12:59Krasia.
13:00It ended.
13:00Good for the horn.
13:02Man, who would have guessed it?
13:06Especially in these iterations, right?
13:07There's no disrespect to the Spain team they came in last year with.
13:11But that wasn't this team.
13:12This is the Olympic silver medal team.
13:15The most experienced players they have.
13:18The best players I'd say they have.
13:21They packed quite a punch.
13:24And Casey Bosch, she's got some new moves in her dance catalog.
13:27I see you, Casey.
13:29Bosch Spice.
13:31She's got some new moves in her dance department.
13:34She also scored four points in that first game.
13:38She's got the talent to do it.
13:40Canada starting with the ball.
13:45Hand off.
13:46That rub screen that we saw a couple times already.
13:48That has worked.
13:50They have not recognized it or at least not gone back to it.
13:53Yes, some type of action to pick and roll.
13:59Casey Bottoms.
14:01Spain takeoff.
14:07Laudena.
14:08On the baseline.
14:10Do it in reverse.
14:11She don't need no rear view.
14:15Garcia.
14:20Just how she drew it up.
14:23Laudena.
14:24With yet another double.
14:27Allen couldn't get a footwork together at the end of that shot.
14:32And the resistance will pay off.
14:35Fourth attempt for SGA.
14:37She'll get it to go there.
14:38You get Evita.
14:39Steps behind the line.
14:41Uh-oh.
14:42Canada back in possession.
14:43And Cat Blue start things off.
14:45And getting it back.
14:47Nice connection to the two Canadian bigs.
14:53Anything can happen still in this group.
14:55But you're right.
15:00Grant Allen knows he's taking a couple of the tips.
15:04Convert on the inside.
15:06Same story this time around.
15:08Pulling past.
15:09Did he get Evita?
15:10Not just the shooting, but the off-the-ball movement.
15:14And she is a headache for a defense to deal with.
15:20How do you have that kind of energy at the point?
15:25Now they were getting Camano involved.
15:28There you go.
15:30I think they got a couple in that first game.
15:33But it's something you need to balance out the inside offense.
15:38One point B for Spain.
15:41You get Evita's back.
15:43And on the attack.
15:45La Reyna just stopped.
16:00Oh, it's a beautiful finish.
16:03From the last time you see that these teams met,
16:06it was on the World Cup last year.
16:09I'm going to say it was the quarter-fifth game.
16:11That ended up 11 to 10.
16:14That was also a very low-scoring game.
16:16There was a confidence builder, by the way,
16:18for Cap Pooke with that last two-stroke.
16:21Spain now evens things up.
16:23He does it all.
16:24Back in the blue's hands.
16:27Sasha Grant Allen.
16:30Access granted from Duke.
16:39Sandra dropping it off to the Cutting Chameleon.
16:51Here comes Krozen.
16:54SPC competing.
16:57Canada winning goal.
17:01And Spain trying to advance.
17:05Not looking so good.
17:07With an 18-13 lead for Canada.
17:11Spain's cooled off because he can immediately cool off.
17:14He's got a couple of good looks here in the last few possessions.
17:16And missed both.
17:18Bruce misses the layup.
17:21The team can foul without free throws.
17:26Oh, that was a beautiful design play.
17:28But Krozen didn't make the layup.
17:33And Allen.
17:35Back to the bucket.
17:36Drops.
17:37Step.
17:37And they get to the Spain.
17:40Going away.
17:42Canada 2-0 after a 21-14 win.
17:47Well, Emma Clark comes in.
17:49She's a dynamic player.
17:50But what you think of an Australian team without the rebounding and defensive.
17:55And Lee Mailey.
17:55And without the all-around play.
17:57The top scorer.
17:59Asia Cup MVP.
18:00Allie Wilson.
18:02Wow.
18:06Meanwhile, they have to start their campaign here against arguably,
18:10maybe not even arguably, the cream of the crop in women's series.
18:21And we're off.
18:22That'll start with it.
18:24Quick ball movement to the cutting board.
18:25She's fouled by Whittle.
18:29Unfortunately for her to get that injury in the Olympics.
18:32In the U.S.A.
18:34In any case, Wallace.
18:42And Gartier.
18:45The Netherlands with 10 defensive fouls.
18:51So that really handicaps them defensively.
18:54Butch are taking a chance on the block anyway.
19:01There's a basket leading.
19:04There's an ace-up couch.
19:067-4.
19:08And Wallace.
19:11Two ball, a miss.
19:13It's started.
19:15Could be her game the rest of the way.
19:21MVP tree on the move.
19:24Jason tears them.
19:27They're giving the complexity of this game.
19:29That's what I'm saying.
19:30At this point, it could be, which is the odd thing.
19:32Oh, now they start to settle in.
19:35It took them a while, but the Netherlands is drawing a four-point lead right now.
19:41They're making shots difficult on the inside.
19:45And Australia not helping themselves with a missed layup.
19:49Oh, splits.
19:52She gets up from the dance move.
19:56Wasted chance for the Netherlands there.
19:58Big possession for the Gangaroos.
20:00Let's see what they can make of it with Wallace in possession.
20:03Settles into a team attempt.
20:06And she laces it.
20:09Gets the Gang back with it, too.
20:12Grayson gets gone off the fifth first step.
20:19Riddle using the screen.
20:22Riddle with a big make.
20:2511-9.
20:28No defense to speak of from the Gangaroos on that possession.
20:33It's a single ball screen, and they're out of the play.
20:37Riddle with that last score.
20:40Getting close to the two-minute mark.
20:48Riddle hits the deck.
20:51I'm not sure I don't see exactly how that happened.
20:53Wallace is now blocked.
20:56The stouted offensive line.
20:59He's moving away from the bench, too.
21:02I don't know what they know there.
21:04That means they've got this lead.
21:11Riddle.
21:13That's my drive.
21:15Wallace had wanted to get it up.
21:18Instead, it's going to be Riddle.
21:22Wallace, yes.
21:23Yes.
21:24Yes.
21:25Yes.
21:25Yes.
21:26Yes.
21:27Yes.
21:32Andresen can't bank it in.
21:34And the final horn will sound to a 16-11.
21:39Netland's win.
21:41One quick-place guard for the Golden State Valkyries.
21:45Average 12 points, 4.5 rebounds, and six assists in 2025.
21:50She was massive for the USA in that AmeriCup win.
21:54She was massive for the United States, Alicia Gaskin.
21:57All right, you're pretty good at the Madagascar pronunciation.
22:01Well, I didn't practice the women's, but let me try.
22:06Let me try.
22:09Okay, first out, the length of this USA squad is going to make it very tough on her to get
22:14a hundred shot up.
22:15Yes.
22:16How long can Madagascar stay in it?
22:19And how will that affect the rest of the game?
22:25And Alvira, unable to use her quickness to get past anybody as of yet.
22:34Tough shot on the inside.
22:36I think it's got to be Austin inside.
22:39Oh, yeah.
22:40They recognize it, but passed a little off-target, so it gets them set up for a two-piece.
22:47There we go.
22:49Olympic miss with a two-piece.
22:52No biscuit.
22:54Oh, Liz, she's a certified bucket.
22:57They bounce back up the reason one to the Netherlands.
23:02And they handle this against Madagascar from beyond Mexico, Mexico.
23:07She's a terror on the boards.
23:10And she's pressure on the inside.
23:18Jaufeta from way out deep.
23:20She hit that one from the Elio logo.
23:25Madagascar need a lot more of that than Jaufeta.
23:28She's the one.
23:32Madagascar.
23:34There's Nas.
23:36She's shooting.
23:40Veronica back into context.
23:42Gray.
23:44Wonderful score.
23:47Lefty Lish.
23:5011-3.
23:52Burton breaks it up for the moment.
23:55Oh, tough.
23:57Gray.
23:59Great awareness.
24:02Austin.
24:09Austin.
24:10One ball game in.
24:14Swag up.
24:16There you go.
24:18There you go.
24:18Two ball down.
24:25Oh!
24:26Oh!
24:26Oh, no.
24:28Single honk the horn.
24:29You've got to move.
24:31Powerful drop step.
24:33Makes it 19-4.
24:36Jaofeta.
24:37Oh, lay.
24:38Nice extension.
24:41They're going to let Gray orchestrate.
24:45Look at that fake.
24:49That finishes with the fake.
24:52Burden with the two-piece killer.
24:54Alexandra Mullen Howard, the X Factor.
24:57What have you thought of her play so far?
25:00Her shooting, which I knew was going to be this year.
25:04No better time than now to put their best foot forward
25:07against the perennial powerhouse in España.
25:10All the Chameleon, Graciolando del Niño, Vega Quimeno.
25:14She looks like she's about 23.
25:16Yeah.
25:17Incredible what Sandra Higa de Vida is doing.
25:20And just a class individual, so it's hard to root against them.
25:24A.C.
25:27That's good beside this semifinal fake.
25:31There's the mid-range all-claw Chameleon.
25:37And Frazier, talking and grinding like a slow jam.
25:41She gets it up, one-legged.
25:43Chameleon on to it.
25:48Graciolando sets up Chameleon.
25:50Back to Canana.
25:51That is letting the ball do the work for you.
25:54And Vega.
25:55Chameleon on to it.
25:58And Diana.
26:01Frazier, good position inside.
26:03She'll lose that frame to her advantage.
26:08Now it's Chameleon with the advantage on the inside.
26:11She puts up a kind of a wild shot.
26:14It's a miss.
26:16And Mrs. Carter delivers a delectable dish to the cutting Mullen Howard.
26:22No blood, no foul.
26:24Well, long gone are those days.
26:26I'm lucky enough, too.
26:28You get a V-day, get some space in the relationship.
26:32I mean, she hits him.
26:36But sometimes the shot selection is a little good question.
26:39That one, that's the right side.
26:40That's a clean look.
26:42Great defense there for Frazier.
26:44Snuffed out the issue pass.
26:45Earns possession for Azerbaijan.
26:48Drops his shoulder.
26:49Gets rid of Garcia.
26:51Four on Spain.
26:52They lead it by two.
26:54Six bump.
26:56Erica Carter speeding around the defense.
26:59Jimeno was sleeping.
27:05Carter with the quick hands.
27:07Two to shoot now for Vega.
27:09She goes through the drop step.
27:10Felt away.
27:12Little kiss off the window.
27:16Frazier right back at you.
27:19Jump hook off the blind and spin move.
27:21Carter will track it down to the baseline.
27:23Gets it cleared by herself.
27:26Back down to the post office.
27:28Frazier.
27:29Oh, my goodness.
27:30It might be advantageous for Azerbaijan if it's played this slow.
27:34I think this pays favors Azerbaijan.
27:44All by herself.
27:46Nothing but you know what.
27:49All went to Frazier.
27:51Robert Todd still left.
27:52Three and a half minutes to play.
27:54Frazier.
27:55Oh, yeah.
27:56She's starting to get in her groove too now.
27:59Carter with the mid-range.
28:00Then Frazier.
28:02And now it's Rossier inside.
28:04Look at the ball.
28:04She didn't get it.
28:05Did you raise that off?
28:06Oh, yeah.
28:06No problem with that.
28:08Screening was solving a lot of their issues.
28:10For now, the screens aren't working.
28:12Azerbaijan's putting a little bit more pressure on them.
28:14And now they're using their screening game.
28:17Frazier.
28:19Stage was set.
28:22Oh, yeah.
28:23Chameleon.
28:23Chameleon.
28:24Chameleon.
28:25Chameleon.
28:25Chameleon.
28:25Chameleon.
28:26High arc tasting the rainbow.
28:29And Frazier leading the way for Azerbaijan with seven points in the game.
28:33And a risky pass when we get a D-Day.
28:36Despite some contact from Chameleon.
28:38They let him play.
28:39Frazier drops it off to Molenhow.
28:41And no better target now to hit a big shot for her team.
28:45They've been open.
28:46And they've missed them all.
28:47Well, they rely a lot on the shoes of that center to get a D-Day.
28:52Yeah.
28:53And then the last couple of minutes of the game, they went flat.
28:55This game, they had a spark to start.
28:58And a little bit in the middle.
28:59And then the rest of the game was flat.
29:0411 a game.
29:04That is so much.
29:07That is ridiculous.
29:08The best rebounders in three.
29:10Thailand with Kanakwan Bajuapsuk.
29:13Soniporn Wangtafa.
29:15Shreika Fettman and Supavari Kuchuan.
29:18Over or under?
29:19Seven minutes.
29:20Under.
29:21Under.
29:22Yeah.
29:23Burk on it.
29:24Deal.
29:24Here we go.
29:25Canada and Thailand.
29:27Maybe they shut me in, Baza.
29:30Maybe they do the unthinkable.
29:33Maybe not.
29:33There's a great alley.
29:35She's punched the clock.
29:36Straight to work.
29:37She goes.
29:38Kuchuan.
29:39A misfire from deep.
29:42Kat quickly gives it up to get it back.
29:44Kat on the attack.
29:45Kat going left.
29:46Kat with another miss.
29:48She's three of nine inside the arc station.
29:50Grand Allen can't miss.
29:57Jam step.
29:59Two-piece.
30:00Yeah.
30:01They've been going straight at Thailand's neck when it comes to getting options on offense
30:07now, first of all.
30:08But then finishing off with a rebound and score.
30:12Look at that.
30:12There you go again.
30:13Another offensive rebound.
30:15Frozen had her frozen with the up fake.
30:18She finds herself alone underneath.
30:20Bucket.
30:22But usually she's really focused on the defensive end.
30:24But she's moving well.
30:26She's looking for opportunities.
30:27That is super fun to watch.
30:28High five five nine on the left.
30:32Locket.poops.
30:33Good to close
30:33it. Back to Kacey.
30:35Oops. Put it with
30:37the fake.
30:39Twins. And Golgi.
30:40Blue now with
30:41the lead wannabe
30:42level. Long range. That volume of two
30:49was for her
30:50to potentially go up. We hadn't even mentioned the defense.
30:54Kacey on the strike. There's
30:57the foul.
31:23I'm telling you, these optimistic shots, the crowd's getting behind him, they're
31:27getting the momentum a little bit, Kapoor is deep in our band, Thailand, they got an outside
31:35shot, Kapoor seems to have found her shot, a little bit, that'll be a one, that is a touch
31:54from deep, still going to be an uphill climb for them, as Canada gets it down low, the
32:00station grant now, final last year, I'm looking forward to that cheeseburger that you're going
32:06on with later, because you picked under seven, his football shooting has not been great, haven't
32:15exactly needed it, a wild pass out to Bosch, he's able to preserve the possession, and
32:24Poop will get it back, spins around and finds nobody there to defend it, she's the creator,
32:32offensively for this team, close it, give her a look like that, and you're going to pay a
32:37double penalty, telling Bosch to cut back doors, she didn't cut, so, maybe some fatigue coming
32:43up here for Canada in the late of the game, don't put in effort right there, defensively,
32:48steal and deal from Kapoor to the Cesar Grant-Allen, five-drop suit, Pochois, and now you're going
33:01to owe me two cheeseburgers, I'll be fat and happy leaving here, 35 seconds left, Fetnik,
33:16Casey, decides to get it out to Paige, Paige, the cat, cat, take that back, Pochois with
33:24some defense, and some offense too, 10 seconds to go, Canada's final possession, cat will get
33:35it, oh there's Cuchu on, Supervati to the rescue, she's Superwoman, and guess what, the final horn
33:44sounds, 20-13 the final, two times over, Jao Feta is the best option for that,
33:51get it out one more time for Mellicasko!
33:56a dangerous player off the PX3 star, and on our right, Marino Wedo.
34:02let's get it out one more time for Mellicasko!
34:06we're all back home, let's do this together, you know what time it is, is it!
34:12we'll see, we'll see who's right, everyone in the game!
34:15the new faces on the squad, different chemistry, they've got to work out how they want to play,
34:23still we'll say not a bad idea to let emma clark get loose she shows off the stroke
34:35swing it over to widow now
34:39clark now chase off the two-point arc she does makes the smart decision and takes the layup instead
34:47i was thinking that that was a two that clark made earlier but apparently that was rule to one
34:55two ball up in time touches no rim you ain't got to tell wallace to shoot twice
35:02quick trigger black from deep reverse no go wallace with it cleared and nobody home to stop emma clark
35:15she's leading the score as the aussies get it back
35:23that y'all know emma clark it has been light work for her every shot only one to go cannot
35:33keep up with
35:36emma
35:45action back on the way from bangkok day two of this champions cup
35:50where the semi-final matchups will be determined approaching the midway point of the day
35:59some uh some big matchups a few blowouts madagascar set up left wing
36:09job better yes they're going to leave it leave it up to wallace
36:19smooth turnover
36:20having some footing issues
36:24bark now handling the ball willow says give it to him
36:29the bucket's seemingly seemingly coming very easily for australia right now
36:42it's bad indirect contract whittle now turning the corner drops the shoulder gets rid of the defense
36:49well it's got to be up to four or five points at this point now oh that was good you
36:54know madagascar
36:55team this is a little bit outmatched but you've seen the offense and seen the shooting
37:01playing the defense from emma clark
37:04to six for the australians 15 to four
37:08and the clock back to work how deep was that madagascar's at six fouls they can't be physical
37:15in that hand how about there could be a little bit more than cowby slightly
37:25marina didn't have to touch that time expanded she's gone cold
37:31not that it will matter this late in the game another point added inside by marina wood
37:38this crowd here is going silent
37:41that's what they're waiting for right here the horn
37:48janice booster world number one joins her crew
37:51with marcha dreeson and asa house of course
37:55out rebounded madagascar as well but i would say they're not battle tested yet
38:00no and even what's that's what it come down to
38:05okay we ready and we're back underway netherlands usa massive contest in the women's competition
38:13likely to the size of one seed in 4a action the red white and blue with the wilson in hand
38:20alicia
38:24she opens the story for usa
38:29kyra mcdomey actor makes real voice in your ear
38:33nobody in the lane to defend that layup by uh mvp dream
38:38fosh wosindahl aka the mountain alongside
38:43all by herself easy lay to start things off
38:46gray hits the deck as they find vunstra and south
38:50it's a third point
38:53making the move has he middle of the paint runner
38:57they are a little bit undersized with these three ladies specifically against the uh
39:02shakira austin layup line for alicia gray
39:09a couple of easy scores for her this four three start
39:12this nettle's team is still the number one team in the world right now
39:16these are players that play in the w the highest level of uh women's hoops in the states
39:23and um they don't feel like they gotta prove anything to you you gotta prove something to them
39:28yeah and with the talent that they have they're sure to adjust quickly to the way the game's played out
39:34here in bangkok here are austin when she's posting she'll have to knock down some twos
39:44reese it these are feet manages to get it to bunstra who makes the extra pass
39:50it's all going to come down to fatigue at the end of the game for them
39:57you don't succeed try try a group play top two from each pool advancing tomorrow's semifinals
40:04you're looking at one and two right now
40:08tom janice is going to get that off the miss
40:11usa showing some good ball moving around to another austin score inside
40:19and some pressure defense from the usa forcing up that crazy shot but how about elsa
40:27oh she's cooking cooking in this one so far
40:32so is austin
40:36core more than this one it's been close throughout
40:39and now norcia digging in her back look what she pulled out the duncan
40:46plays game translates
40:57oh
41:04both teams put together impressive performances
41:08a lot of mistakes playing on day three
41:13but hard to imagine australia beating this usa team in the last game
41:17in the last game but they'd have to beat the usa and then they'd still have to
41:23get madagascar to beat the netherlands out there
41:27gray is small
41:34oh jason getting tricky with it
41:37that gray lost in the south with the ball play 16 14
41:45burton interior pass they go to helman helman
41:53so it's the orange lions taking on the w
41:57pretty much yeah
42:03this is uh a third turnover on a clear for the dutch
42:07usa putting a lot of pressure on those dribble outs
42:11they're getting themselves some extra possessions at a crucial stage the game
42:15and at 38 left it's crunch time
42:22great
42:25smart decision get it back to gray
42:31decision making off the charts
42:33scoring off the charts
42:36and shakira on the glass
42:39point game usa but much adresa says hold up
42:43leading to mental attrition
42:46you just draw a blank right there
42:48the best first is the best
42:51is elisa gray
42:53and proves that her team is best in this one
42:58so many in any given day
43:01going to be a tough uh tough match up for madagascar but the dutch they're going to run that system
43:06of
43:06theirs uh it all depends how much they energy day expended against the usa right
43:12that's a world number one right there she's scoring one point per
43:16well she's got the rock now
43:19mainly facilitated
43:23and joe farrell on the drive
43:25oh what a move
43:29it's a sizable dutch team
43:33but uh that was playing on the surrender a lot
43:36mainly treason decides to get to the room
43:40and that's going to be the advantage for the netherlands on the drive and in the post
43:47it's going to be the advantage for the netherlands
43:47much like we saw with thailand
43:49i think madagascar's only hope is to get on the heater
43:53and here they are with a 2-1 lead early
43:56boz's eyebrows are raised
44:01go ahead i said imaginably so the dutch energy is a little bit low to start this game a little
44:06lacking
44:07they're giving madagascar plenty of space and opportunity although on that possession
44:11lead a horse to water but he can't make it win
44:15this is blasphemy
44:17boz a dutch 3x3 pioneering legend
44:20he's giving us scenarios where uh madagascar is going to beat
44:27wow
44:29desperation he
44:30i don't you might have got away with a little character
44:36baker
44:37streets here for the uncontested layup

45:03nobody home leave the message at the beat
45:076-3 netherlands back in control
45:14downfield chased off the two-point line nice step through

45:37keem treason right there
45:38keem dree
45:41the tree shake
45:42how's on madagascar they poke that one out
45:48ilsa settles into a d2
45:54oh look at that
45:57i'll take that and you take this
46:01eight points again for mortadrisu who's playing at such a high level in this tournament
46:0711 against usa nine yesterday against australia guard yourself by scoring at least 18 points here
46:21three points away from their magic number

46:42is
46:43gets a hand on that
46:45he was actually having a good cut
46:47in the story of the tournament
46:52shows the potential
46:54and wanted to teams with more experience
46:59wider range of talent
47:07there's the there's that magic number 18 you see it yeah they are safe
47:11they are safe right now virtually
47:14they're four points ahead of australia you can't catch them even if they get the two-one
47:19back-to-back misses places the wilson back in the hands of the orange lions the lionesses
47:29they're going to let uh somebody else get an opportunity here
47:32also who is
47:33oh this is on here
47:36also with the devastating cross
47:44and it is nortia who will do the others
47:48she will finish with her 13th point of the game
47:52look this usa squad could go undefeated with a dub here
47:54they've dominated the rebounds they've actually adjusted to the physicality well i think
48:02marina had herself a good game too against madagascar with six points
48:07the next uh the next tiebreaker
48:12all right we're underway usa australia
48:17that's a point-blank range shot you got to get those against this usa team

49:42A jab step.
49:45Netherlands in position to be the number two squad.
49:51Obviously, if Australia got a win here, we'd have a three-way tie.
49:55I think she, yeah, that might be why she was laughing.
49:59She's laughing in disbelief.
50:00Wallace from defense.
50:02Hey, Wallace, red ball.

50:09Trying to get a difficult shot which he gets this up-and-under scoop to go.
