00:00Players in the national team set up.
00:02Chelsea, Dre, and Coop.
00:07Wait for it.
00:08Wait for it.
00:09Here we go.
00:12We're underway.
00:14USA taking on Czechia here tonight.
00:18Last game of Group D here at the FIBA Women's Basketball
00:22World Cup in Berlin.
00:27Melkova getting the hands up, and.
00:31Great defense.
00:33I like that.
00:34Right away, Brianna Stewart caught in the low post.
00:37Double team came on the catch, and then good rotation.
00:42They got deflections.
00:44Chelsea Dre puts up a jumper on the low with the rebound.
00:47Remember how they had to defend both Han Zhu and Zhang
00:51yesterday for China.
00:52So in many respects, maybe not quite as difficult.
00:56And Stupelova gets into the lane and scores
00:59to put Czechia in front.
01:06Stupelova, one of the veterans in this team.
01:11There's Brianna Stewart coming out.
01:13And boy, that was, that is a beautiful sight for fans of USA
01:17because you got to hope some of those threes start to fall.
01:20Well, they've been falling for a lot of other teams
01:23in this tournament.
01:24The U.S.
01:25No exception.
01:25They have the talent to get hot here in the Berlin Arena.
01:36And here's Stewart, she was the MVP of the 2018 World Cup in Tenerife.
01:43And there is already a three-point play opportunity for Collier.
01:51Nafis Collier has just been back in action in the WNBA.
01:58She had to have ankle surgery on both ankles in the offseason.
02:04So obviously took her time coming back.
02:06The Minnesota Lynx, they did not want to rush her back either.
02:10And I just imagine as this tournament goes on, we're going to see more of her presence as well.
02:14And, you know, we talked about this being a young team.
02:16She's one of the veterans.
02:17She has Olympic experience.
02:19She has World Cup experience.
02:22She's really a more experienced player for these younger players to look up to.
02:27And it's, you know, I'm going to look to her.
02:29I'm going to look to a Chelsea.
02:31I'm going to look to a Brianna Stewart to say, guys, this is what we need to do.
02:36This is international basketball.
02:37This is how we bounce back.
02:39Joklava goes in.
02:41And a foul called.
02:43Chelsea Gray.
02:49Yeah.
02:52Joklava, some WNBA experience in Minnesota and, obviously, got married this summer.
02:58So, I mean, that's why.
03:00Joklava, the famous name, Joklava.
03:02Joklava, her mom, the former point guard when it was the Czech Republic.
03:08And she played on that team that won the FIBA EuroLeague too, right?
03:13Back in the end.
03:15In Brno?
03:16Yeah, in Brno.
03:17But what year was that?
03:20Now you're testing me.
03:21I know.
03:21I need to look.
03:23But it was, she missed the crucial free throws yesterday.
03:28Right.
03:28So, tough, tough 24 hours for her.
03:31Great start for the Americans.
03:35Offensively, that's where they really had issues against Italy.
03:39Vrachkova goes right at Copper.
03:42Two points.
03:44Vrachkova.
03:48Vrachkova.
03:50Vrachkova.
03:54Vrachkova comes over.
03:56And another three.
03:57This one from Jackie Young.
03:59Jackie Young stepped up big when they needed her yesterday.
04:02When they needed someone, I should say.
04:04Especially on the defensive end.
04:09And Lovat.
04:15Jackie Young.
04:17Oh, what a catch.
04:18From Collier and Vrachkova.
04:22Vrachkova.
04:23Vrachkova.
04:24Vrachkova.
04:25Vrachkova.
04:26Vrachkova.
04:28Vrachkova.
04:29Vrachkova.
04:31Vrachkova.
04:33Vrachkova.
04:44Vrachkova.
05:00Vrachkova.
05:01Vrachkova.
05:02Vrachkova.
05:02Vrachkova.
05:03Vrachkova.
05:04Vrachkova.
05:04Vrachkova.
05:04Vrachkova.
05:04Vrachkova.
05:04Vrachkova.
05:06Joklava goes right in for the layup.
05:11But this is where Joklava, I imagine,
05:13probably has a little bit more confidence
05:15than maybe some of her other Czech teammates
05:17because she has played in the WNBA.
05:20Three threes for the USA in the first three minutes
05:24and 12 seconds.
05:34Raczkava cross, skip pass, rather.
05:38Kospisilova missing it from deep.
05:42Kospisilova has had a great tournament as well for Czechia.
05:46Really her best tournament playing for the senior team.
05:50And Jackie Young just finds her way right to the basket
05:54going down the middle of the lane.
05:57I mean, if the USA keep this up,
05:59they're going to score as many points
06:00as they scored the entire game at halftime.
06:07Stokolova does not go off of her.
06:12And Brianna Stewart's going to go out.
06:14Aliyah Boston, talking about UConn.
06:18One UConn goes off, one UConn player comes on.
06:28Here's Raczkava losing the handle.
06:34Carol Lawson was quite the player back in the day.
06:37I think she had already...
06:38She has gold medals too with the USA
06:40at World Cups and Olympics.
06:42Yep.
06:42I think she...
06:44You weren't quite yet on the scene for Canada at that point?
06:48Yep.
06:48Oh, you did play against her, Carol.
06:49Oh, okay.
06:52There's Jackie Young.
06:53Gets blocked.
06:58Yeah, you got to turn back.
07:00I mean, this was the rematch of the final back in 2010.
07:05Yes.
07:06In Czechia.
07:07And Carlo...
07:08The MVP, the MVP went to...
07:11Hanamakova.
07:12Now, it's Hrakova.
07:14Yeah.
07:17One of the great FIBA Hall of Famers, in fact.
07:20Hrakova.
07:21Chelsea Gray had to get that up quickly and missed.
07:31Hrakova short.
07:34Yep, that was Luvor Blazek, the coach of that Czech team,
07:37going up against the Geno Ariema Coach USA.
07:42Hrakova.
07:43Collier, some deep.
07:51Yokova, she's so strong going to the basket.
07:53She just has that power and speed.
07:57Right now, I'm seeing this confidence in...
08:00In...
08:02In...
08:03At least, Gajakova.
08:04And I think it's because she is going up against some of her teammates.
08:07She has played in the WNBA this summer.
08:10Where was this all tournament long?
08:11And not that she had a bad tournament, Jeff.
08:13She averaged 30 minutes a game, 12 and a half points,
08:167 and a half rebounds, 3 assists.
08:19But she could have done that against China all game long.
08:29Well, USA come up with the loose ball.
08:34Gray.
08:36Collier.
08:38Young.
08:41I got a lot of respect for Collier coming out and playing all these minutes
08:44after those ankle surgeries that you mentioned.
08:46And what a drive.
08:50And two free throws.
08:52The Czechs battling away.
08:54I mean, I think the reality is, you know, if you look at Yokova...
08:59Okay, the Czechs, their strategy was spot on against China.
09:04It was.
09:05I mean, they were leading.
09:06It was their game.
09:07They were leading the entire game until the...
09:10China hit a couple of crazy threes.
09:11End of the fourth quarter.
09:12China hit a couple of crazy threes and...
09:14Five points in the last 27 seconds China had.
09:17And also some missed, sadly for the Czechs, some missed free throws.
09:21And all added up to overtime and then China won in overtime.
09:26But this is where, you know, I look at this Czechia team.
09:29You know, outside of a couple players, they're young.
09:33And, you know, you have growing pains.
09:36We've seen that Czechia, you know.
09:37You mentioned it.
09:3916 years ago, they were silver medalists.
09:42Petra Holoszczynski has come into the game.
09:44One of the veterans, number 13.
09:47From a North Carolina Tar Heel, there is a block.
09:52Sticking the leg out.
09:53The call on Pospis Shilova.
09:57And Ryan Howard, who's coming from the USA, feels it.
10:05And there is Angel Reese.
10:07Out of the youngsters, I thought she played the best yesterday.
10:10Angel Reese.
10:12Paige Beckers played well in the first half.
10:15Yeah.
10:15Off night for Caitlin Clark.
10:17But how about this?
10:18Kind of the young'uns check in with the veteran, Brianna Stewart.
10:24Caitlin Clark.
10:28Here's number 12.
10:30Here's Paige Beckers.
10:32Rins out.
10:34Pospis Shilova.
10:35Whistle for the push.
10:49Funny, I mean, Kate Clark, Caitlin Clark, you see a lot of her Indiana favorites where she's walking around in
10:55Berlin.
10:55And that was Ryan Howard knocking down the three.
10:59And she's pushing the lead back up to 19-11 for the USA.
11:04Pospis Shilova having it knocked out of her hands by Stewart.
11:07Gets it back.
11:09Now, Holly Shinska.
11:23The second foul.
11:25And Itsova also coming into the game.
11:27So that foul on Stewart.
11:38Oh, the Shinska.
11:44So, this foul on Ryan Howard.
11:49So, fouls accumulating for both teams.
12:14Oh, the Shinska.
12:17Keeps it, passes it back.
12:18Five on the shot clock.
12:20And it's over, has to put up a long two.
12:22Good D by the USA, not giving away anything.
12:29Oh.
12:30Clark gives it back to Stewart.
12:34I feel like the US are just playing with more speed,
12:40more precision here in the first quarter
12:43than we saw yesterday against Italy.
12:49Polishinska keeps it away, but then is blocked twice.
13:18And Kotsuka comes in.
13:25Also in the game, Malikova the turnover.
13:29Here comes Ryan Howard.
13:32Oh.
13:32And Brianna Stewart with the follow.
13:35I can't believe it didn't go down.
13:39Great tip-in.
13:41Tying up.
13:42Unfortunately missed it.
13:43Do you remember that tip-in?
13:45Oh, against Belgium.
13:45Yeah.
13:46In Antwerp.
13:48Were you there?
13:49Yeah.
13:49Oh.
13:50I was in Hungary with our other colleague, Mark Clark.
13:54That was one of the all-time great games.
13:57USA eked out a last-second win with the Brianna Stewart tap-in
14:01against Belgium at the Olympic qualifying tournament.
14:04Sold-out crowd, right?
14:05Yeah, it was.
14:06The air went out of the balloon after that.
14:13Zeit-Hamarova takes it in.
14:21Polishinska misses everything.
14:39Clark.
14:41Well, there you have it.
14:42I think a lot of people have come to these games hoping to see something like that
14:45from Kaitlin Clark.
14:56Malikova.
14:59They get to the corner.
15:04Good job.
15:05Offensive rebound and giving themselves second, third chance opportunities here.
15:14Stopolova.
15:15Little turnaround.
15:19Katelyn Clark, her pass to Brianna Stewart.
15:23And she's fouled by Zeit-Hamarova.
15:27Take care of the one.
15:29.
15:32China well up on Italy.
15:3419 to 7.
15:36and those two teams will be in the qualification round,
15:41those two Group D teams.
15:43But, you know, that game is also important
15:46if you finish second or third in your group right
15:49and who you cross over with.
15:51Obviously, the higher you finish.
15:53Oh, sorry, just Dennis Schroeder there on your television.
15:56He was also, he presented the TCL Trophy
15:59to Luisa Geiser Schroeder.
16:01That was nice.
16:02Yeah.
16:12Check, you're looking for a little bit of inspiration on offense.
16:18Angel Reese in the game.
16:21Here's Stewart again.
16:23Driving.
16:24Oh, nice shot.
16:27Another great reverse layup.
16:29She started well the other day.
16:31She was aggressive.
16:34And then, you know, I don't, this is a different Stewie here today.
16:39And I said, you know, they don't really have a person,
16:42a go-to person for scoring because they're all such good scorers.
16:46So sometimes it's hard to figure out, what do you want to call it, the hierarchy?
16:50Like, who's our first option?
16:52Right.
16:53And I think, you know, here today, at least for me early,
16:55I get the feeling like, you know what, Brianna Stewart's on the court.
16:59She's our first option.
17:00And then we go to the others because she's going to draw two, three defenders.
17:04She'll pass when she sees an open teammate.
17:07They have to be ready to shoot it and to score.
17:09Nine points are ready for her.
17:11Seven minutes, three rebounds, and four assists, Jeff.
17:16Allayed concerns.
17:20And the U.S.A. have allayed some concerns with their first quarter.
17:25Street throws making it a 14-point game.
17:28Here's Stewart.
17:28Turn around.
17:31Those were not shots that she was making yesterday.
17:39So 11 points already for Brianna.
17:47Sweet shot from Kotzka.
17:51Still time for the U.S.A.
18:03Kaitlin Clark picks up the dribble.
18:05Gets it to Paige Beckers.
18:09But the U.S.A. I think we'll take that opening stanza.
18:17They have 29 points.
18:20Check here 15 at the end of one.
18:28A great start as we get to look at the statistics for the U.S.A.
18:3429 points already.
18:35If you compare that to their game yesterday, they are trying to send a message.
18:40Shooting 50% from the field.
18:42They are 50% from three-point range as well,
18:46with four players already having made a three-pointer in this first quarter.
18:50And, you know, that game, everyone watching it, let's be honest,
18:56everyone was in their hotel room, the players, I mean, watching it and saying,
19:01oh, the U.S.A. are beatable.
19:06And I'm sure they heard that feedback as well, you know.
19:09Everyone has social media.
19:10Everyone is chattering.
19:12And I feel like in this first quarter, they're like, oh, no, no, no.
19:15We had a little bit of a hiccup, but this is who we are.
19:18We are still the best in the world, and we're going to show you here tonight.
19:27Well, they started by coming back out and knocking down some shots.
19:33Four of eight from three-point range.
19:36Howard, Copper, Brianna Stewart, and Jackie Young all knocking down threes.
19:52Scanning the QR code to access courtside 1891.
19:56Watch live streams of people competitions like the Women's World Cup
20:00that we're seeing now.
20:02Upcoming windows of the World Cup 2027.
20:06Qualifiers and club competitions and much more.
20:17But maybe for the U.S.A., the best thing about today
20:20is that they didn't have to wait more than a day to get back on the court.
20:23So the second quarter action is underway.
20:26So they didn't have too long to overthink it?
20:29They didn't have too long to stew over it.
20:37Angel Reese.
20:38Going right at Kotsuka.
20:44Second quarter, 13, Natalia Kotsuka.
20:48First person at the bottom.
20:50First few points.
21:02First one does not drop for Angel Reese.
21:07She rattles in the second.
21:17Nice backdoor.
21:19That was the play.
21:22That's got to be a ball just called.
21:26And this is where the U.S.A. are so strong and they have been in the past.
21:30If you make a mistake, they usually always make you pay.
21:37Clark to the wing.
21:39Oh.
21:44And Kotsuka not making that.
21:46And Kotsuka again.
21:49Another one.
21:49You need to make that, right?
21:50Yeah, you just don't have the margin for error.
21:53You got to make your shots.
21:55The makeable ones.
22:05First one here.
22:10That's on Collier.
22:12I think we do.
22:16And Kotsuka and Kotsuka.
22:19First one.
22:22First two.
22:23In the Back.
22:24First three.
22:25And Kotsuka.
22:33Oh, Vrashkova been challenged and turns it over.
22:37Good D from Reese.
22:39Collier pulls up on the break.
22:51Stopolova will turn it out.
22:52One, two coins, a nice little super low.
22:57Stop, turnaround shot by the captain there.
23:03Collier for three.
23:15When it's all said and done, we've had a lot of interesting results,
23:19some surprises, some great games, but you look at the teams that are already
23:23in those quarter-final positions after winning the groups, Spain,
23:28despite the loss to Mali.
23:30The shock loss to Mali.
23:32They've still finished first in their group.
23:35We know Belgium have gotten into the quarterfinals,
23:38USA in the quarterfinals.
23:40France.
23:40France, so really it's a powerhouse four.
23:44Now the pass up ahead to Kospisilova, and she scores the layup.
23:49She makes the layup.
23:50Two coins.
23:53Kospisilova.
23:56A lot of overs in this check team.
24:07Chelsea Gray.
24:09Las Vegas ace.
24:12What do you call the aces?
24:17With an S on the S?
24:19Las Vegas aces?
24:20Yes.
24:21Not aces?
24:22I know, but she is an ace among the aces.
24:24She is an ace in your heart?
24:27Would you say she's an aces?
24:30True.
24:32Las Vegas acer.
24:40Yokova.
24:43Instead of running the offense, I'm not sure if Piteskova was happy with that.
24:52Collier.
24:54And...
24:56Manage the ball, Piteskova calls timeout.
24:59Check it.
25:01Check it.
25:02We'll...
25:03Still be hoping to rebound and qualify for Los Angeles.
25:13Actually, next year will be the Eurobasket.
25:16Eurobasket winning.
25:17That's gonna be exciting.
25:19Check it.
25:19Timeout.
25:20Let's hear from Coach Piteskova.
25:21Last year.
25:22Let's go.
25:23Make sure that the defense is quite easier.
25:26And we have the complete corridor.
25:29We're on to ourselves.
25:30We are in the gap in the gap.
25:33We're on to ourselves.
25:33So we'll keep the spacing on the final.
25:36You're there ready?
25:37We're here ready.
25:38We'll have time for middle trkey.
25:39Right?
25:40One arm of three, should be ready.
25:42One arm of three.
25:43And the upper arm...
25:44Furtheres...
25:45The above are...
25:47We'll move on.
25:47You're on the floor.
25:48and then we will go back again.
25:51And, um...
25:53...put up...
25:54...put up...
25:55...put up...
25:56...put up...
25:57...put up...
25:58...put up...
25:59You know, I talked quickly during introductions how it wasn't...
26:06It's been growing pains for this Czechia team since, let's be honest, 2014.
26:12They hosted the Eurobasket in 2017.
26:15They did not have a good performance at the Eurobasket in 2017.
26:18They finished 13th.
26:20Just to participate in this tournament, because of how they finished at the Eurobasket in 2023,
26:257th, they had to go through the FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup pre-qualifying tournament
26:31just to be able, in the summer of the Olympics, just to be able to give themselves an opportunity
26:36to qualify in March at the World Cup qualifying tournament.
26:42Yeah.
26:43Such long sentences.
26:44So really, it's been a...
26:45So it has been...
26:46Hasn't been an easy road, and I think, you know, yeah, disappointment, but...
26:52...wasn't easy, and you...
26:53Put it perspective.
26:53Yeah, exactly.
26:54Wait, you're talking about context, aren't you?
26:58Is that the word?
26:59You're saying put it into context.
27:02I'm the journalist.
27:03Teaches me new words all the time.
27:05All right, guys.
27:07Gray.
27:11Rebound, batted over by Collier to Andalova back in the game.
27:17The Prague, the Sparta-Paha player.
27:21So many good ones go through Prague, including Spaniards.
27:26Yokovo drives in.
27:28She's fearless, isn't she, going to basket.
27:30Like I said, she's, you know, she's playing right now with so much confidence
27:34because she knows these players now.
27:36She's built her confidence playing in the WNBA this summer as well.
27:40Not that she didn't have it before, I mean...
27:42She just, you know...
27:44Reinforced it, the confidence.
27:46Yep.
27:46Played in Bruno and then took her talents to...
27:49Good drive from Topper.
27:59There she is, putting it up front and back.
28:03I think every time she puts up that jumper,
28:05she doesn't make Petascava that happy.
28:08She doesn't go in.
28:09She might be coming out now.
28:11And Collier gets one to drop.
28:14I remember that game we were talking about in Belgium.
28:16I couldn't believe how good Collier was.
28:20She was the MVP of that game, to be honest.
28:23Yeah.
28:26That Olympic qualifying tournament game.
28:28Here's your flip again.
28:32USA back up by 16.
28:39Those were the first, before the ankle surgeries though, right?
28:42Yeah, true.
28:45Chelsea Gray steps to the left.
28:49Another rebound, Collier.
28:53She has also the insight playing in Europe with...
28:57Yeah, she does.
28:57For so long.
28:59Yeah, yeah.
28:59She has had...
29:02Took her talents over to Europe quite a few years, you know.
29:18Stewart coming back in.
29:20And Ryan Howard.
29:21It's like Hamarova coming back in.
29:23Yeah.
29:25Yeah.
29:30Yeah.
29:31All the Shenska back, and as well.
29:38To check, yeah, the Rocks Gava.
29:41Good looking three.
29:42Three.
29:43Three.
29:44Three, Herodita Rostovar.
29:47Hanna Shova back in, battling it out with Aaliyah Boston.
29:51I'm sure it's a little bit easier battling out with her
29:53than it was with Jang.
29:56Yes.
29:58Hanna Shova, honestly, she came in and she did a great job,
30:01but she picked up three early fouls in the first quarter
30:04and had to sit.
30:07Oh, great shot from Jaclyn Young.
30:13It feels like Jaclyn Young is becoming kind of the go-to.
30:19She just gets buckets.
30:22She's having one of the best years in the WNBA this summer.
30:25She's quite an ace.
30:29She is an ace.
30:31We have multiple aces and all-star aces.
30:36One of the three-point plays, Jaclyn Young.
30:51Pulse pistol over to Andalova.
30:55And gets up to Ryan Howard.
30:57Going the other way, Jaclyn Young.
31:01Jaclyn Young.
31:02The lead is now 20 points.
31:03Oh, five time all over to Ezekiel.
31:10Please take a look at the news screen.
31:13Here is our TCL case cap team.
31:15Well, it's good news for the USA if they're getting out and running.
31:24Yeah, I really think Collier and Stewie absolutely have decided,
31:31you know what, maybe they had a meeting.
31:38A long time.
31:41Good, good job.
31:42Good job.
31:43You give me the ball right away.
31:45Anything you do, no matter who happens.
31:47You're bringing to the ALE.
31:48Let's go to screen here for the P3.
31:51Well, after we take a break, a good good move.
31:53because it's clear that you can get a lot of people out there.
31:55You can't get a lot of people out there.
32:12One more try.
32:15This player right here, Kolyer, you talked about it.
32:1719 points a game in that Olympic qualification tournament
32:20against Belgium in the three games she played.
32:23She's been averaging five points, 12 points a day.
32:26I really feel like, I don't know if it was like Captain Brianna Stewart
32:29and if he's Kolyer who had a little bit of a conversation,
32:32they said, we need to do a better job of setting the tone
32:36for these youngsters on this team
32:38and show them how USA basketball plays
32:41and how we have to be ready to play every game in a tournament
32:44on the international stage.
32:46Oh, is Shinsuka getting her own rebound from her own miss?
32:51Maybe, I think, so they had a powwow.
32:55Prashka from missing, falling to her left.
33:04Here's Kaitlin Clark from deep.
33:06I think the crowd was ready to erupt.
33:13Howard Hall, what a bounce pass paid to Paige Beckers.
33:30Tight hammer over, gets inside.
33:33Pospisilova.
33:35Again, you know, I think there's a lot of good things
33:37that you can take away from this Czechia team in this tournament.
33:45And Pospisilova, she's had a great tournament.
33:48I mean, she has stepped up from the Eurobasket last summer
33:52and completely elevated her game, even from the tournament in March,
33:56to be honest.
33:58Henny Sova.
34:00Two, four.
34:01Knocks it down.
34:07From China.
34:09Ooh.
34:13Henny Sova's really put her body on the line in the last 48 hours,
34:17or 24 hours, in fact.
34:21Zeithamarova born out.
34:30Yeah, I guess with Czechia, they just did not have the luxury
34:35of losing the post players that they did.
34:39Rising Arova and...
34:42Emma Chekova.
34:43Emma Chekova, who was really showing...
34:44I think Emma Chekova, I mean, you know, she had a good season last year
34:47in Paraja, still one of their young, up-and-coming, bright post,
34:50young post players, like you said.
34:52And, you know, got a training camp offer to the Minnesota Lynx,
34:56ended up making the roster.
34:59So that shows you how good she is.
35:01And unfortunately, tore her ACL early this summer.
35:07Well, that's a good aggressive play from Yokova.
35:09So you can see a lot of important pieces in this Czech team.
35:22And, you know, it's a country that's won the year of Ascot women before.
35:26Again, it hosted and made it to the final of the World Cup in 2010.
35:31They played Olympic Games.
35:32Yeah.
35:33So, you know, they're committed.
35:37They are committed there to getting it right.
35:40And, of course, Prague and Brno have won the EuroLeague women over the years.
35:47Yep.
35:47And this is a young team.
35:49I mean, they have an average age of 26.
35:52Hannah Chekova, I think this is, you know,
35:54probably going to be her last summer with the Czechia team, I would imagine.
36:00I mean, her, a great story as well, right?
36:02She was injured, played, and then came back last year for them after suffering,
36:09being away, suffering terrible knee injury that, you know, sidelined her,
36:14changed her game, let's say, for longer than anyone would have wanted,
36:18especially her.
36:19And, you know, for her to be the only player on this roster to play at two
36:24World Cups is pretty impressive, Jeff.
36:28Fuchichkova in the game as well for Czech.
36:33Number 12.
36:34Here's Citroen.
36:37Reese on the offensive glass.
36:44Reese is definitely one of the pieces to this team.
36:50See what I did there?
36:52Getting it in.
36:56Yes, we all know about your dad jokes.
37:04Well, she earns a living with her penetration.
37:08But this is the area where she has to improve.
37:12It's not just because of yesterday.
37:14Yeah.
37:15You know, just over the course of the tournament.
37:17She just needs to be better.
37:18Yeah.
37:19Because she's a driver and she's going to get fouled.
37:21Plus, Pichilova catching her breath with 1-12 to go in the first half.
37:27Yeah, unfortunately, heading into this game, you know, only shooting 50% from the free throw line.
37:447-of-8 today though.
37:47Stewie goes in with the left hand.
37:55Yeah, we're going to go.
37:56Hammarova gets it to Hanyasova.
38:07You know I got to be a tourist yesterday and just watch the game, the USA Italy game as you
38:16and Kristen were all on the call.
38:17and i did think the referees let a lot of handsy action go against the u.s towards italy and
38:27yeah
38:28and this is where i think it's really good like coaches do it you know everyone around you and i
38:36have to prepare we have to scout we have to know what we're talking about and so do the referees
38:41and that's very important that i think the referees i mean we know that they do right after
38:46a game they go and re-watch the game with referee boss man yeah and you know they go over
38:53maybe some
38:55missed calls maybe some calls that they you know should be looking for that they can concentrate
39:01on do better in the next game and you know that's also something very important that i think you know
39:07fans everyone listening should should know as well it's not easy what they do trust me
39:13pass down low to reese oh what a finish continues to impress in my opinion
39:20takes it up to 55 33.
39:24i think that i think the general public do not know
39:29how hard how much scrutiny the referees are within
39:35fever and how scrutiny in a good way trying to get them trying to get them right the way they
39:41go
39:41over things immediately after the game i mean and you know okay you and i you know we get to
39:47arrive
39:47two days before of course we have to do our research have our scouting books prepared before you know a
39:53tournament starts but the referees arrive weeks before and it's like almost a training camp for them
40:00and you know they're selected by what they did before as well you know if they don't perform well
40:08they're not coming the referees here at the few women's basketball world cup are the best referees
40:14selected by FIBA over a course of four years Jeff
40:20and
40:21holishinsa take on reese site hamorova puts up a desperation shot right at the end
40:27and
40:35halftime usa lead 57 33 over czechia
