00:00MVP of the Europe Cup last year, MVP of the World Cup last year, and considered by most
00:06to be the best player in the game, but really, it's the balance.
00:10Ilse Kalk is shooting it outside.
00:13Has she not turned back the clock?
00:15She looks like 2022 Marina Whittle.
00:20I agree, and back then she had people to set up her scores now.
00:23She's getting them herself.
00:27Oh, wow, we start this one with a gong.
00:29Oh, wow.
00:30That's new here in Warsaw.
00:32Semifinals are in front of you.
00:34Kyle Montgomery, a.k.a. the voice of 3X3 in your ear.
00:37Boz Rosendahl here with you as well.
00:38Nurta Driesen straight to the cup.
00:42Took her eight seconds to get that score.
00:44Marina Whittle moving right.
00:47We'll skip it inside.
00:47Hank gets position on Slockter up to the line.
00:54Missed everything anyway.
00:56Inside, they go to Ilse Kalk on the cut.
00:59She's not just a two-point shooter, apparently.
01:03Amy Atwell got splashed well that time because Marina Whittle
01:08will clean up the mess for her.
01:10Those long arms.
01:11Didn't even see the pass coming in.
01:16Whittle.
01:17Oh, my goodness.
01:18She's picking up where she left off.
01:19She's worked really hard at her craft, Kyle,
01:21and I think it goes to show here over the run the Netherlands
01:25we've had in the last couple of years.
01:26Look at that.
01:27So tough.
01:30Game separated by just one point at the moment.
01:33Clark deflecting counts.
01:41Get back at you.
01:42Yeah, the Netherlands again used that off-ball screen.
01:44Stay tuned to an undefeated record this far.
01:47Driesen taking on Clark.
01:52There's Norcia again.
01:53Man, that was a tough bucket.
01:55That had a motorcycle jacket on.
01:57That's my nickname.
01:58Okay.
02:00Anyway, Emma.
02:06Atwell, oh, my.
02:08Quick draw McGraw, she went to art school.
02:13That release from Atwell is ridiculously quick.
02:19And as a result, the Aussies lead it by one.
02:23Trying to upset the defending champion, Netherlands.
02:26Atwell wants another one.
02:29Splash Whale.
02:30That's a one-pointer, however.
02:33Foot was on the line.
02:36Clark dropping it off.
02:37Atwell to Whittle.
02:40Whittle going in the paint, working on Zoey.
02:42Turnaround.
02:43Zoey was not having it.
02:44Right now, a three-point deficit for the defending champs.
02:48Not something they're too concerned about, especially when you have MVP Dree.
02:52The ladies from the Gold Coast looking for a two there.
02:56They won't hit it.
02:58Whittle still on the...
03:00No tag.
03:03And the Gangaroos are in Venice.
03:07Here comes Atwell.
03:08Up fake.
03:09Atwell.
03:10Excuse me.
03:11Splash Whale.
03:12Atwell with five points for the Gangaroos.
03:17She is spraying the place, but Elsa Kaut can shoot the two-ball, too.
03:22Don't you forget it.
03:27Whittle drops it off.
03:29Atwell.
03:29She's not going to hit that, too.
03:30Are you kidding me?
03:31Oh, my goodness.
03:32Are you kidding me?
03:34She is electric.
03:39Atwell gets beat that time, but if you're the Gangaroos...
03:50Oh, clutch, bucket, Elsa Kaut.
03:55She's had a hell of a World Cup here in Warsaw.
03:59Oh, yes.
04:00Incredible performance for her.
04:01Hank going to work on Slockter.
04:04Breaks the 13-13 tie.
04:06We got ourselves a game here in the semis.
04:09Kaut with the turnaround won't go.
04:11Into Whittle's hands.
04:13She'll clear it.
04:16Whittle drops it off to Hank.
04:18Hank turns the corner and nobody there to contest the layup.
04:21And she converts it.
04:23Miss Q on the Dutch defense there.
04:25Leaving Hank alone like that, you rarely see that from him.
04:30Elsa making the move.
04:32Drops the shoulder on Whittle.
04:35What's the combination?
04:36I have no idea.
04:38Okay, we'll figure it out.
04:41Inside.
04:41All right, Hank can't...
04:48So is my guy, Martin.
04:50Uh-oh.
04:51It's a two-point lead.
04:53Five seconds to go.
04:54They'll get it to Ilsa.
04:55Ilsa is smothered, but they forgot about MVP Dream.
04:59And then they come up with two gigantic shots from the outside that tied the game up.
05:04They didn't turn the ball over as much, which is something they had struggled with throughout the tournament.
05:09As you remember, against three women from France, it took them a long time to decide that game.
05:15They were sloppy with the ball turned it over ten times.
05:19It's a scary game for them, actually.
05:21That was kind of a scare for them.
05:23With the physicality and the length of this United States team, do you think that she has a good performance
05:30in this one as she gets the rock right now?
05:32It'll depend on where she catches the Wilson, right?
05:34If it's outside shooting or mismatches inside, then yes, but there's not too many of those mismatches to be found.
05:40Well, she up fakes, and she lets the two fly, and right on cue!
05:44It's Alexandra the Great, if they keep running that play.
05:49Joyce Edwards can throw that thing down, in case y'all didn't know, but that time she got it thrown
05:53back by Breonna Frazier.
05:58Great timing.
06:00Azerbaijan off to a good start here, and Erica Carter is going to keep it going.
06:05Hey, Mrs. Carter.
06:07Tell me, where have you been?
06:08Full Wiley is going to stop the leading here early.
06:13That 3-0 deficit is now a 3-1 game.
06:16Oh, Breonna Frazier sent back a great inside defense from Mikayla Williams.
06:23Full Wiley wants to rock.
06:25Full Wiley crafting with it.
06:28Full Wiley, ah, a little kiss off the glass, off the spin move.
06:32Evens the game at three apiece.
06:34Carter pulls up, mid-range, it won't go.
06:37He tracks it down anyway, though.
06:39Carter will find Frazier.
06:40Oh, wow.
06:42Do to the Azerbaijan defense.
06:45Try to work some pick-and-roll action.
06:47Full Wiley pulls it.
06:49It comes off the iron right into Edwards' hands.
06:53Moenhouse up top, AC.
06:57AC from beyond the arc.
07:00No, Frazier will finish what she started.
07:03Here's Mikayla Williams.
07:06Makes a beautiful move.
07:08That was the Chris Paul dribble, yeah.
07:10That was the Chris Paul dribble, yeah.
07:12She put some magic on that thing.
07:17That is just, that's just brute force.
07:20My goodness.
07:20That's just brute force.
07:22Plus the foul.
07:23At the free-for line.
07:25Off the square.
07:267-7.
07:29Entry pass to Edwards, who has position on Ullanova.
07:33One more try at it.
07:34Frazier tips it out, but they will.
07:36But when she comes in, she can be a difference maker sometimes.
07:39In time, Mikayla Williams.
07:41Oh, my lord.
07:44Who's that girl?
07:47She's that girl.
07:48Did you see the finesse she put on that finish?
07:52Right back, AC.
07:558-8 tie.
07:56USA trying to break it right now, but Edwards leads it long.
07:59Sahara Williams with position inside.
08:01She will miss that.
08:03Will go at it again.
08:05And the third time is the charm.
08:08Because without Frazier in the game,
08:11USA have a big advantage on the inside.
08:14Mullenauer.
08:15Never mind.
08:16Oh, wow.
08:18Wow.
08:20That is a hell of a development, and that is a hell of a shot.
08:26Alexandra Mullenauer is about to earn a new nickname.
08:30She has just walked off the court right now.
08:33She is trying to see and test that leg, see if she can go.
08:39Edwards, that's what you get.
08:43For Wiley.
08:47On the drive, for Wiley.
08:49Some bad work.
08:51Azerbaijan trying to turn their first appearance at the World Cup into a trip to the gold medal game.
08:58In time, she tells Mullenauer to stop tripping.
09:01Uh-oh.
09:03Not only did she trip, she stepped on the line on the next possession.
09:06USA ball.
09:08This game is topsy-turvy.
09:12Roller-coaster ride.
09:17Mikaela Williams going to work on AC.
09:21She pulled up on a deep, deep baby Mullenauer.
09:29Oh, Yanova.
09:30Oh, forces with two.
09:32That AC with the jab step to the crib.
09:37Defending well.
09:38Kicked out for Wiley.
09:39Over to Mikaela Williams.
09:41She's going to use some clock.
09:42Mikaela just pulls the trigger.
09:44Shebang.
09:46How much she got?
09:47A lot.
09:48Alexandra Mullenauer just hit her 11th point count.
09:52Erica Carter.
09:52So many big shots that she's hit in the last year.
09:56Mullenauer.
09:57That's the fake.
09:58That is the make.
10:00Tie game.
10:02That is clutch.
10:03My goodness.
10:06Big time shot.
10:08She is assessing the defense.
10:11She is assessing.
10:13And she is an assassin in OT.
10:16She the best Williams since Serena and Venus.
10:21Mikaela in OT.
10:24USA going for gold.
10:26Here in Warsaw, Azerbaijan will play for a bronze medal.
10:32And as of now, it looks like they will not have Brianna
10:36Frazier for that game.
10:38The USA with a big win later, especially.
10:43Mikaela Williams.
10:44She is the star of this show.
10:47She will get it down to Sahara.
10:50Nice play for the USA.
10:51They took what the defense gave them.
10:54AC.
10:55Mullenauer operate from the logo.
10:57She is pestered by full Wiley.
10:59Mullenauer will spin free.
11:00And she will.
11:01Oh, she will miss the layup.
11:03But oh.
11:04Well, you know, we'll score.
11:06You got to put your name on something.
11:08And Vaz said Serbia.
11:10They haven't lost a game yet.
11:12They were the favorites coming into this competition.
11:14So they are going to be the favorite coming into this game.
11:19Finishing in the paint by Naranjic and Baraj.
11:22I doubt that you don't come into a World Cup semifinal and Bully serve you.
11:29Breathe in, breathe out.
11:30He's weak.
11:34All right.
11:36The stakes are higher than Wagu.
11:38You can see how the fellas will do now.
11:43Dr. Strange.
11:45He is operating early.
11:47Welcome to the office.
11:51Naranjic trying to keep Raimo at bay.
11:53Milutinovic, that's the look that he wants.
11:55It's the D-R-E.
11:58Ring, ding, dong.
12:00Ring, ding, ding, ding, dong.
12:01I didn't know you were going to go out there.
12:02Keep them heads ringing.
12:03It's the D-R-E.
12:05One more again.
12:06He can't get it to go.
12:07But that is a welcome sight for the Sarvians to see Milutinovic hit a two ball.
12:12They lead four to one.
12:15The enforcer to Latsas who gets up and yokes it.
12:19Second one with confidence.
12:22He's been as shaky as a leaf in the wind.
12:24He's set up on the right wing.
12:26They're going to get it to the D-R-E.
12:28They are daring him to shoot it.
12:30Instead, he passes to Barac and he throws it down.
12:38Oh, get it up out of here, Dr. Strange.
12:43That was a great rotation, man.
12:45He just got a fake.
12:46Raimo's hands, too.
12:48Oh, look at the defense from Milutinovic.
12:51That wingspan is an issue.
12:54We hit him with the counterfeit.
12:58Uh-oh.
12:59Serbia is looking very Serbia right now.
13:02They are looking very Serbia.
13:03You are absolutely right.
13:05They have dominated the physicality.
13:07They have kept Latvia away from the actions that worked for them,
13:10mainly the two-ball shooting from Las Manas and Miezas
13:13and the off-ball cutting from Lodges.
13:14Both those things have not been there.
13:18Latvia are high variance, but they're also high octane.
13:22And they can erase a big lead very quickly.
13:25Yuri Maumo to the maze.
13:31Off line tip inside.
13:33Lodges were converted.
13:39And Barac will draw the foul on Lodges on the baseline.
13:42That's now five on Latvia as well.
13:45Meanwhile, Miezis is still working on that knee.
13:48He's off the court trying to get his leg right.
13:51I think he may have been hit knee-on-knee.
13:54No defense comes just in time.
13:56Raimo is able to block it.
14:01It's going to be Miezis setting the table for Raimo.
14:05Great pass.
14:10Baraj Milutinovic.
14:12The DRE with the step back.
14:15Fires it with confidence but misses it.
14:19Latsis will execute the pocket pass to the cutting Raimo.
14:26Drake.
14:29Inside.
14:30Baraj drops that shoulder.
14:344.30 to go.
14:36The Miez inside.
14:37Extra pass is made.
14:38An extra extra pass is made.
14:40The Miez to the career.
14:41What an offensive sequence.
14:44The last couple looks for him have actually been really open and pretty good.
14:48Speaking of open, he's open like a double click.
14:52The DRE from deep again.
14:55And he'll miss it.
14:57Baraj will recover.
14:58Stojic driving strong left.
15:01And off the window, he will go.
15:05The Miez.
15:07There it goes.
15:10Finally, Norse Miezis follows the bottom of the net from Tulane.
15:14Dr. Stojic now.
15:17Trying to make a move on the baseline.
15:20He wants to pull it from the same area he just knocked one down.
15:25Gives Serbia a 16-13 advantage.
15:28Las Manas converts over Milutinovic underneath.
15:32Especially in a moment like this.
15:34Especially in a game where he has nine points, Kyle.
15:36You're right.
15:378-36.
15:38Lapia.
15:39They take advantage.
15:42Las Manas with three points in the game.
15:49Andre has that pass stolen.
15:52Miezis inside.
15:53Las Manas.
15:54He gets the call.
15:56Las Manas.
15:58Oh, he blows a bunny.
16:00Baraj hits the deck.
16:02Lapia come away with it.
16:03Miezis layup line.
16:05We're even.
16:06Seven in the game for Norse Miezis.
16:0853 seconds to go in a tie contest.
16:13Nobody wants to foul.
16:15So you'll see Dr. Strange take advantage of that.
16:2110 points in the game for Strange.
16:23The maze is amazing.
16:27Huge hit for Lapia.
16:30Strahinia to the crib.
16:31He will get one to go.
16:3318 up.
16:40Strahinia getting rid of Miezis, and he'll take advantage of a bucket on the inside.
16:46Miezis taking the scenic route.
16:49Miezis to Batman.
16:52Batman forever!
16:55Latia win it!
16:56N-O-G!
16:59And he didn't skip gym day either today.
17:02Oh, he hit the gym this morning.
17:03He hit the gym.
17:04Listen, he don't skip the weight room.
17:07The weight room skips him.
17:10Miezis is built.
17:12Grown into this tournament, and they have found Hugo Suhard, the boss for a reason.
17:21His leadership, his toughness.
17:26Here we go again.
17:29Germany and France.
17:31Last mince of my final achievement.
17:35Yeah.
17:35Can they win the rebound about it?
17:39Can they stay close in the rebound about it?
17:40Be competitive is probably a better option against this German size.
17:45Gizeman makes the extra pass.
17:47Gizeman knocked down.
17:50Shebang!
17:51Still athletic.
17:52It's still very long, so I don't know if they'll be able to find much success with that.
17:56Really good defense up top from Villare.
18:01Rambeau handing it off to Villare.
18:03He will oop it.
18:06Smart tip from Rambeau.
18:09Yeah.
18:12Three-point lead for the Germans.
18:14Uh-oh.
18:14G-man.
18:15He's gonna find Kevin Bryant on the cut.
18:21G-man going to the spin move.
18:23That was sick.
18:25And a 7-2 start for the Germans.
18:28Hugo swinging past Gizeman and whoa.
18:33France trying to chip into this two-possession lead that Germany currently have.
18:38It is Rambeau.
18:41Look at this.
18:42Double wide, right?
18:43So he goes wide on the first as they chase open.
18:46Around comes Suhart.
18:49Monceau and the G-man get tangled up and it's the boss man.
18:53Safe sequence.
18:55Oh, that was a one-legged shot.
18:57Oh, yeah.
19:00Uh-oh.
19:01Uh-oh.
19:02Uh-oh.
19:03It's a G-man.
19:05Yamich.
19:06And shout out to Leon Fertig.
19:09The Lion, the Leon.
19:108-6.
19:12Germany lead.
19:13Monceau out to Villare.
19:15Two ball.
19:16Off iron, but it's Jules.
19:18He is ready to rumble.
19:21Kevin Bryant.
19:23Twisting.
19:24Twisting it.
19:27Gieseman inside.
19:30And nothing Monceau can do when he gets it that deep.
19:3410-7 contest.
19:36Germany.
19:37Been in front since the beginning.
19:39Gieseman keeping his footing and scoring it on the interior.
19:48It's Suhart.
19:50What a dish from him.
19:52Another look at the wraparound.
19:54He couldn't even see where he was aiming that pass, man.
19:57Wow.
20:02Using the horsepower.
20:04Shifts to another gear and is converted at the rim.
20:07Hugo is not happy.
20:09Remember he took a shot in the nose the other day.
20:13Now Suhart with the feather he saw floating.
20:17That was crappy.
20:18He raised the contact first.
20:20Big boom by Gieseman.
20:22Yeah.
20:23Smashing like two potatoes is Gieseman.
20:25It dunks.
20:27We've seen him get a lot of looks like.
20:29Boss.
20:30Pulls up.
20:31Left it short.
20:33Looked like it was on line.
20:34Gieseman is going to settle into that two-point shot.
20:36You cannot let him get looks like that.
20:38That is a huge momentum swing.
20:41The future is showing up.
20:44Was that Kevin Bryan?
20:45I came to see who shot it.
20:47Rambeau.
20:48Rambeau shot it for France.
20:51Dime time.
20:53Another precision pass set up by Hugo Suhart to Jules Rambeau.
20:59Nicholas Kropp turning the corner.
21:01Kropp puts up a wild shot at Gieseman.
21:04Light work for him.
21:06Oh, but nobody's there to stop that.
21:10Huge deuce from Hugo.
21:16Achievement.
21:17Oh, my goodness.
21:19The fireworks are going off.
21:22Is it Independence Day out here?
21:26Monceau.
21:29Back and forth.
21:32A firefight tied at 18.
21:36Denzel on the drive up top to Gieseman.
21:40He converts it.
21:41Two seconds to go.
21:43Hugo Suhart will get a shot up.
21:45It will not fall.
21:47Germany are going to the gold medal game for the first time ever.
21:55The G-man and Gieseman combined for 17 as they celebrate with Leon Fatigue.
22:03As the Germans have reached a feat that has never been done for the men's team ever.
22:09They will play for gold.
22:13But G-man puts it right on the spot for the future.
22:19There's no question they are the favorites in this competition.
22:23But you never know what could happen in a 10-minute sprint.
22:26Yeah, how often have these teams met up in the medal games over the last couple of seasons?
22:32The Europe Cup Final, Champions Cup Final, here for the bronze.
22:40All right, let's get it gonged.
22:43Enough of that.
22:44The bronze medal game.
22:45Azerbaijan, Netherlands, here we go.
22:50Scrapping it out with the Netherlands yet again in a national competition.
22:55Mullen Hauer goes off the window to open the scoring for Azerbaijan.
23:00Make her way to the Wilson.
23:03But Carter is going to give it up.
23:05Count inside and the Dutch are on the board.
23:08Number 17.
23:10Number 17.
23:11Minute in.
23:12Mullen Hauer.
23:13Sweeney.
23:14Ulyanova thinking about pulling the trigger.
23:17That is a misfire.
23:18Into Count's hands.
23:20And she will set up shop from the corner.
23:22That is airmail from Crouston.
23:25Maintaining possession for the Netherlands.
23:28And it's a smooth kiss off the window.
23:31Just like that with any AC.
23:35Trying to get past Theresa.
23:37And she does that pretty easily.
23:40These ladies got good stamina, to be honest with you.
23:42Because usually they spot substitute Dina Ulyanova.
23:46So they're used to being out there for a long time.
23:49As Theresa knocks down that two.
23:52The screening ability and her chemistry with Wunstra, who's out.
23:57And did not play on this roster, obviously.
24:01It was a count.
24:02Will get it back.
24:05Count with that lefty legs.
24:07Great extension with that left hand.
24:11You've got to think on Azerbaijan.
24:12First of all, how much energy they expended in that last game, right?
24:16Without Frazier on the floor, they had to dig really deep.
24:19And then also with recent history, having the Dutch beat them in a lot of spots.
24:25You've got to wonder, if the Netherlands are playing like this, when that belief is going to start to fade.
24:30Ulyanova.
24:32Hands it off to AC.
24:34Ooh, Carter will cross her T's and dot her I's.
24:39Throw Driesen in there, too.
24:41Misses it, Ulyanova.
24:42With the rebound.
24:44Mollenhauer gives it up.
24:46Ulyanova now will attack Swopter.
24:49She says, girl, bye.
24:52Ulyanova, persistence pays off.
24:54Bucket falling to the ground for her.
24:57Slopter now scores right back.
25:01Bronze medal at stake.
25:04Azerbaijan in their first ever appearance at the World Cup.
25:09They'll have an uphill climb if they want to end up on the podium.
25:13The Netherlands are getting used to standing on podiums these days.
25:17Especially with MVP Dries.
25:20A very subpar shooting game in the semifinals.
25:23But she's looking.
25:30Driesen has got to be respected beyond that two-point arc.
25:33The defense looking at her and they forgot about Zoe Slotter on the inside.
25:37Now Broadway gets the leg.
25:41Ulyanova from 10 feet.
25:42Yes.
25:48Driesen.
25:49She ain't driving nothing.
25:52That one she will miss.
25:55Van Karstum quickly on the attack.
25:58Doug.
26:00That was for Mike Lewis.
26:01Okay.
26:02Are trying to single out Dina Ulyanova.
26:06She's not the fastest to foot, Kyle.
26:08And they are attacking her.
26:10Comes up short.
26:12Van Karstum.
26:13Driesen.
26:14Up a.
26:15Baseline.
26:16Bucket.
26:21Netherlands.
26:22Three points away from bronze.
26:25Or two and a half minutes.
26:27Whichever you prefer.
26:28But this is going to be a Netherlands win.
26:33A game like this.
26:35You want to take the right precautions.
26:38She will be needed.
26:39This season is Driesen.
26:42Has made some big plays for her team.
26:48But just not enough.
26:51Woman power.
26:55Sticking the game with the Netherlands.
26:57It is game point for the Dutch.
27:01And they have possession of the ball.
27:03MVP three underneath.
27:05And that is it.
27:07That is all.
27:09Netherlands take bronze after winning gold in 2025.
27:1412 points in that matchup.
27:16But it wasn't enough.
27:17He couldn't get the job done.
27:19And now he has to fight for bronze.
27:21Yeah, Doc Strange.
27:23He was in rare form.
27:27And that is unexpected in.
27:30From that German team that's so gifted offensively.
27:33So you got to give France a lot of credit for slowing other teams down.
27:36They would love to get some more out of Alex Villarei in this game.
27:41And.
27:43Bronze medal at stake.
27:46We are back on from Warsaw.
27:48Serbia and France.
27:49Doctor Strange turning the corner.
27:51And he's going to yam some.
27:54That was wild.
27:55He wants some hardware though.
27:57Not just a highlight.
27:58Some hardware to go with it.
27:59He got to go harder than that.
28:06Rambo hands it off.
28:08Villarei.
28:092-1 advantage.
28:11And Rambo is going to get the skill.
28:13Off the bounce.
28:14Rambo makes it count.
28:16Dre with a nice lead pass to the cutting Barac.
28:21We will have plenty to discuss today.
28:23We got a lot already.
28:25And we haven't even gotten to our gold medal games.
28:29The Rodgers' patience pays off.
28:31They got in foul trouble as you remember late against Latvia.
28:34I think they had ended up with nine fouls in that game.
28:37It was close to their tenth anyways.
28:40Oh, Villarei is down.
28:41The shot is up.
28:42So good at finding the angles and the screens to get Suhard onto Naranzi Terbaraj.
28:49Swats it down now.
28:50Oh, what a block from Villarei.
28:55Now the look at the defense first from Villarei.
28:59Swats it off the glass.
29:01Six points.
29:04He says no, no, no on this shit.
29:08Now Villarei will whip it.
29:10Monceau!
29:12Dr. Strange.
29:17Up, fake.
29:19I'm not sure you want an appointment with Dr. Strange.
29:26Hugo with a chance to get some get back bullet pass to Rambo.
29:29Well, I don't know many that are going to win that.
29:33Probably none.
29:35Now it's Milotinovic.
29:40It's a two-point lead.
29:42Serbian front.
29:43The seal inside.
29:45Rambo.
29:46Able to take advantage of Strahinja.
29:49Barac has not shot it great.
29:52Does not turn the tide with that misfire right there.
29:58Iso game.
29:59The boss.
30:00John Strange.
30:02Welcome to Hugo Island.
30:04This ain't no vacation.
30:06Getting free of Naranzic.
30:09And he will chuck up the hook.
30:12Didn't put enough on that.
30:14Eliminator.
30:14There's Eliminator sighting.
30:18Oh, Villarei.
30:20Got it swatted.
30:21Here comes the Eliminator.
30:23Look out below.
30:27Yeah, and I think for him it's just, he's in such a different rhythm than when he plays on the
30:31pro circuit.
30:32That man hadn't struggled.
30:34He hit that one from Mate, baby.
30:37Don't get mad at me if you're from Paris.
30:39Barac.
30:43Into Naranzic's hands.
30:45Doctor Strange comes around.
30:46Jules Rambo defending.
30:48Naranzic.
30:49Drops it off to Barac.
30:53350 to go in this men's bronze medal contest.
30:59Villarei.
31:00Rambo.
31:01Quick trigger.
31:04French up.
31:07He doesn't even bring the ball down.
31:09You see how he...
31:10Oh, Villarei with a nice move.
31:13Villarei's not got the two ball.
31:16Oh, Barac with the quickness.
31:19That'll even his game at 14.
31:30Villarei is gonna plow right over Doctor Strange.
31:35Right now they trail it by one.
31:38Naranjic's putting him in a blender.
31:40There you go.
31:43Naranjic.
31:44Vicious.
31:49Suhard.
31:52Oh, what a tip by Jules Rambo.
31:5518-16.
31:57Serbian leading by two months.
31:59Oh, my soul.
32:01Taking it straight to the home.
32:02With a wild drive.
32:04Rambo.
32:06Naranjic.
32:07Thought better of it.
32:08The DRE.
32:13He gets it back.
32:16He's really out of the rhythm too.
32:19But Serbia have found a rhythm.
32:22Yes, you are right.
32:2319-16.
32:25Villarei.
32:26Actually, it's Rambo with the tip.
32:28It's a one possession game.
32:30Under a minute to go.
32:31Naranjic.
32:33Down low.
32:34Taking advantage of Hugo.
32:37Aren't they already?
32:38No.
32:39Are they?
32:40I think so.
32:44So, France will have a chance to steal this if they can get a two-up in the air.
32:48Rambo got his cookies took.
32:51DRE snatched it.
32:53Oh, a dime runs out.
32:54And time is gonna run out.
32:57Serbia get bronze here in Warsaw.
33:0120-19 over France.
33:04But I would argue that this-
33:06This Australia team-
33:08Is different.
33:08Is different than the team that played them in the group phase.
33:11I agree.
33:13I agree.
33:14They've grown into this tournament.
33:17She's running the show for the USA.
33:19Makayla Williams.
33:21With a big shot in overtime.
33:26Miroslav Jolison.
33:29To officiate this one.
33:31Here we go.
33:34For gold.
33:35USA and the gang of rules.
33:38Sahara Williams.
33:40To the cup in a rush.
33:42Gets the scoring started for the USA.
33:45Hannah Hank.
33:46Swings it.
33:47Amy.
33:48Splash whale.
33:49Cannot splash that one.
33:51Lands in Makayla Williams' grasp.
33:53She gets it out to the other Williams.
33:55Sahara.
33:56Sahara.
33:59We are under a minute to go.
34:04Swung over.
34:06Marina.
34:07Widow.
34:08Oh my goodness.
34:10She is on fire.
34:15Gangaroos take the lead.
34:17USA could have won it.
34:18It's stolen.
34:19Full Wiley.
34:20With the rocking hand.
34:21Makayla Williams.
34:22Been so clutch for the Americans throughout this tournament.
34:27She can win the game.
34:29It's in her hands.
34:30And the USA a golden again.
34:35An absolute killer.
34:37Against the USA Nicole.
34:38Only two points.
34:39Three rebounds for her.
34:40She's usually been good for about five.
34:42For Wiley taking it at Whittle.
34:45So Harold Williams will share it for Wiley with a kiss off the glass.
34:49The quick four zip start for the United States.
34:52She will miss the shorty.
34:55And McClark gets it cleared.
34:56Hank wants it down low.
34:58And she is denied by Full Wiley.
35:00But Hank will stick with it.
35:03And Gangaroos are on the board.
35:05Full Wiley can't knock it down from deep.
35:07She will throw it in reverse.
35:13And McClark baseline.
35:15Drive.
35:16Flicks it up backwards.
35:17No.
35:20Sahara.
35:21Wants to get it.
35:23To Joyce.
35:25In the post.
35:26They are going to rejoice.
35:31Trying to set up Atwell for a look.
35:34And she gets that with a trickle in.
35:38Friendly bounce.
35:39For Amy Splash Whip.
35:42Meantime.
35:44It's Williams.
35:46Coming up empty that time.
35:51Good hands by Edwards.
35:54There's Edwards again.
35:57Climb back in this game.
35:59Two possession lead.
36:01For the USA.
36:03Full Wiley.
36:05Fast.
36:05Don't lie.
36:08Trying to find Edwards again.
36:10But that pass was errant.
36:12Atwell being pressured.
36:14And she's cool under pressure.
36:19Australia within three now.
36:22And we've seen this USA team, despite being undefeated,
36:25hit some of these lulls and kind of dry spells throughout the course of the game.
36:31Yeah.
36:31Absolutely right.
36:33And this is where the gangaroos are trying to make their run.
36:36McKayla Williams will stop all of that.
36:38She says she's too little.
36:42USA haven't hit 21 points over their last two games.
36:45Oh, man.
36:50Marina Whittle has missed a couple of point-length layups in this game.
36:57It has been very un-Marina-like.
37:00She tries to make up four from Tulane.
37:02That does not happen.
37:05They will get it down low to Edwards.
37:09And when she's posted, it ain't for likes.
37:16Okay, now.
37:16Whittle, finally, trying to get their first goal against the United States.
37:22Taking aim at number four.
37:25Full Wiley.
37:26Man, her first step is the last step you'll see if you ain't careful.
37:31Come pretty steadily.
37:35Whittle.
37:36Drops it underneath.
37:39And there she is.
37:40She's all business.
37:42Amy Splashware.
37:44KFC is the only one giving out buckets.
37:47For Wiley.
37:48She'll get in on the action too.
37:50Shebang.
37:53At will.
37:54Uh-oh.
37:56Collides with Clark.
37:57A little bit of a disjointed possession, but it works out for the Gangaroos.
38:02Great pick-and-roll look.
38:04In the rear view.
38:06From the start.
38:07Here's Mikayla Williams.
38:09She in her Fendi bag.
38:11That was special.
38:18Clark's pass to Hank.
38:20Up fake.
38:22Oh.
38:22Nice swipe.
38:23Better move.
38:24Hank can't finish it.
38:26She'll get it back and finish what she started.
38:29Way to stick with it.
38:32Edwards.
38:33Like a wide receiver.
38:35Touchdown.
38:37Great hands from Edwards.
38:40USA up 17-12.
38:43Two possession lead for the United States.
38:46Emma Clark swings it.
38:48Marina pulls it.
38:50Paya.
38:51Huge shot.
38:53Here come the Gangaroos.
38:57Seven points for Marina Whittle.
39:01She's living in Gangsta's Paradise.
39:04Back-to-back twos.
39:06Cruz.
39:07Wow.
39:08What a clutch performance here by Marina Whittle.
39:12And that had everybody in this venue on the edge of their seat.
39:16Full Wiley.
39:17Will get a good look and you know full well you can't leave Full Wiley.
39:23With Agnes Chavars and Eggers Crewman.
39:26Shout out to them.
39:29And then of course, Zygmars Raimo.
39:31I saw them after the game.
39:33They were angry.
39:34They were emotional.
39:35And they have kept that memory.
39:37And they fueled it right here.
39:39To try to get to this game and get a gold this time.
39:44And this will culminate a week of a marathon here in Warsaw.
39:52Men's gold medal game.
39:53Get it out.
39:54Kevin Bryant.
39:56That.
39:58That is deflating.
39:59Yes.
40:01Las Manas.
40:03Inflating.
40:04The Latvian lead is 20-5.
40:06And it is missed.
40:07Bryant.
40:08He threw that at Miezes like he was mad at it.
40:12Miezes comes away with a dime delivery.
40:16There's that off ball cutting for Latvia.
40:19Crop out to Kevin Bryant.
40:22Straight on to.
40:24Shebang.
40:25To pull off an upset.
40:27Against perennial power Latvia.
40:31Denzel.
40:33Soft kiss off the window.
40:35We have just seen his game evolve and grow.
40:39He's really expanded his portfolio.
40:42And the ways that he scores.
40:44Outside.
40:45You saw the touch off the glass there.
40:46Now he's got to defend.
40:48Batman.
40:50Las Manas taking him to Eurostep class.
40:54You're going to learn today.
40:56Beautiful move.
40:58That was rigorous.
41:00Okay.
41:03It took me a while to get that one.
41:05Once it set in.
41:08Meantime, the shot is knocked down on the baseline.
41:12Las Manas deeper than poetry night.
41:15He splashes it.
41:22Denzel now.
41:24Lining up a two ball.
41:26Denzel.
41:328-4 Germany.
41:38Batman drops it off.
41:40Latsis can't finish it yet.
41:42Has no breaks.
41:44And the Batman.
41:46Nimble.
41:46Taken away from him.
41:49Noimo.
41:50Will give it to a ball handler.
41:52The Asus.
41:53Layup line.
41:56Dibble.
41:57That you can't really move or dribble.
42:00No, we've seen him.
42:01We've seen him.
42:07Denzel.
42:07With his best performance since flight.
42:11On the graphic.
42:12There we go.
42:16Oh, Batman.
42:18He sneaks behind Kevin Bryant.
42:22Latvia.
42:23Latvia.
42:25Latvia.
42:26Latvia.
42:27Latvia.
42:28Latvia.
42:28Latvia.
42:29Latvia.
42:30Las Manas scores it over Bryant.
42:34And Bryant takes a scary fall.
42:37Another look at Batman, the Caped Crusader.
42:48Don't.
42:49Denzel putting on a performance.
42:52Carlos Las Manas.
42:53Doing the same for his.
42:55Batman.
42:56Back on the attack.
42:57He gets the step on Achievement.
43:00Snatchback.
43:00Crossover.
43:01Misdribbled it.
43:02Batman.
43:03Drops it off.
43:04Miezes quick trigger.
43:06Blah.
43:07Wow.
43:08Blah.
43:13With Raimo defending.
43:15He'll give it up to Kevin Bryant.
43:16They like that matchup inside.
43:18Gieseman had Miezes.
43:19And they got to settle for that attempt.
43:21I'll take it.
43:23Here in Warsaw.
43:25As we head down the home stretch of the men's gold medal game.
43:29Stolen.
43:29Raimo.
43:30To Batman.
43:32Latvis to Las Manas.
43:35Batman.
43:35Will miss it.
43:38Big rebound.
43:39Yes, indeed.
43:40That's the lead.
43:41Latvis.
43:42Finishing things off.
43:44Oh, that pass well out of reach of Gieseman.
43:47And Lapier will take quick advantage.
43:49They lead by two.
43:51Their biggest lead of the game.
43:53Denzel.
43:54Iso game.
43:55He's gonna let it fly.
43:57Ricochets off the front of the iron.
43:58Loose ball.
43:59Batman.
43:59He'll snag it.
44:01Over to Latvis.
44:03Las Manas.
44:04Operating from the logo.
44:05He's got a G-man.
44:06He decides to give it up.
44:08Latvis on the baseline.
44:09Yamage.
44:11Lapier lead by three.
44:13They need one from Kropp.
44:14Decides to redirect.
44:16Gieseman.
44:17Leaves his feet and chucks a deuce.
44:21Into the hands of the Maze.
44:23The Maze.
44:24Straight to the cup.
44:25He will miss it.
44:26But Batman is everywhere.
44:34Kropp forces up a two.
44:36And Germany have lost some composure a little bit here late.
44:41He's gonna get his first World Cup gold.
44:44As the final horn will soon sound.
44:47There it is.
44:48And there they have it.
44:50Finally.
44:51Latvia.
44:52Get their World Cup gold.
44:55Batman.
44:57Robin.
44:58Latsis.
44:59And Raimo.
