00:00Next time, USA lead 57-33 over Cechia.
00:11Nice to see Joklova singing along to the song
00:14on the loudspeaker as we start the third quarter.
00:20Cechia, Stopolova comes out, takes the first shot,
00:24but misses.
00:35There is a toughness about Joklova that you have to like.
00:37You can see how she defends these USA players,
00:41but Stewart is just going to work on the bucket for her.
00:4915 points, six rebounds, six assists for Stewie.
00:54That's Joklova again.
00:56You think she has the green light to do that
00:58whenever it presents itself?
01:01Absolutely, especially with after how she played
01:03in the first half.
01:05I'm sure Coach Pachkova said, you know what?
01:07If you're open and you feel like you can take your defender
01:10off the dribble, absolutely go ahead and attack the basket.
01:13And right now, defensively, the USA has not really adjusted.
01:17They don't have help side coming or help side there
01:21when Joklova has the ball and is in a situation
01:25before the drive starts.
01:31She makes one of two that time.
01:36This is a good opportunity for the USA
01:38as they try to get ready for the quarterfinals.
01:40Remember, they're not going to get...
01:41In their case, you almost wonder if it would have been better for them
01:46if they played a qualification for the quarterfinal,
01:49just to get another game together.
01:50The USA, so they could have more practice, not practice, obviously,
01:54but more.
01:54I mean, you run the risk of losing, obviously.
01:56More time, more games, yeah.
01:58I mean, like a lot of, you know, teams this year,
02:02oh, great job attacking the zone.
02:04You probably are not able to finish, though.
02:06But, you know, like a lot of teams, the WNBA took a break from their season.
02:13So, a lot of, and now a lot of teams have WNBA players.
02:17So, there are very few teams here in this tournament
02:21that had their entire team for training camp.
02:23USA, for example, they had their training camp before the WNBA started
02:27because they knew they weren't going to have time together
02:30heading in right before the World Cup to get some practices in,
02:35to get an exhibition game in.
02:37They came in here, you know, kind of blind.
02:40That probably would have helped the players to get ready for the WNBA season,
02:43wouldn't it?
02:44Yeah.
02:45Oh, I mean, I think this is also why it was good that the FIBA basketball
02:49pre-qualification tournament was in March as well
02:51because it was another opportunity for Kara Lawson and her staff
02:55to get together with the players that they were thinking about taking.
02:58You know, they had a training camp before,
03:00then they went to Puerto Rico.
03:04Puerto Rico.
03:05Puerto Rico.
03:07Pospisilova.
03:08Puerto Rico, a team who maybe has surprised a few people qualifying for
03:12getting out of the group phase, I should say.
03:20Yep, I did not see them beating Turkey.
03:24There is the miss.
03:31Unfortunately, Kennedy Burke was out tonight, today I should say,
03:36with a shoulder injury.
03:39She did injure the shoulder in the first half yesterday.
03:42Oh, right.
03:43She came out with tape.
03:43Because she came out with wrapping, yeah.
03:45Oh, what a drive.
03:52Two points.
03:53This guy, Yoklova.
03:54Great job, Yoklova.
03:57Puerto Rico do come up with big results.
03:59Even to get here, they came up with a big result.
04:02Yeah.
04:02From the qualifying tournament.
04:03Hosted the qualifying tournament, so their federation had hope in them.
04:08They believed in them.
04:12Jackie Young.
04:14Collier.
04:19Check it out on the board.
04:37Italy trying to come back against China.
04:39Pulse Preciolova puts it up and in.
04:42And it's back to a 21-point game.
04:51Well, not going away.
04:54The ball deflected.
04:56Chelsea Drea has it.
04:58USA having trouble scoring this quarter.
05:01They've only scored two points.
05:02Two.
05:03That four.
05:04Well, she's the person that scored them.
05:12And the low of a high, arcing three.
05:15Excuse me.
05:17You might want to draw that ball because it was up in the rain clouds.
05:20Oh.
05:21Up ahead to Stewart.
05:23What a pass.
05:23Chelsea Gray.
05:25Touchdown pass.
05:26Stewie does a good job keeping the defense on top of her.
05:31How about Andalowa?
05:32Five points.
05:33Perimeter game, a little bit of drive.
05:45A little step through.
05:48And Jackie Young ends up getting it back.
05:50And is fouled.
05:54Yoclaven went from taking it the other way to having it taken from her.
05:57To hold on to the rebound, unfortunately, here.
06:04And one also rebound for Jackie Young.
06:25USA quick to the rebound.
06:28Could be a four-point or five-point trip down the floor.
06:33The rebound.
06:37And this time USA do not get the ball.
06:41It's not so Czechia came up with that rebound, though, or got the ball.
06:46It was just batted out of bounds, unfortunately, by USA.
06:51So Czechia maybe got away, got lucky.
06:5722-point lead for the Americans.
07:00Pospisilova.
07:03Stupilova comes over.
07:04Good effort from Varashkova.
07:06Varashkova, but USA do not cash in, and very often in the game for the USA.
07:18Kiki.
07:19Kiki?
07:20She's not the first Kiki that's played good basketball.
07:22There was Kiki VanderWay.
07:24Remember him?
07:25Former Denver Nugget.
07:28General manager.
07:29Big guy?
07:30Yep.
07:30Well, no, not a big guy, but it was big, but like a kind of a power forward or maybe
07:36more of a three.
07:38But anyway, here is former UCLA with a long career.
07:45Here's Zandalova.
07:48Zandalova playing with confidence here.
07:50She is.
07:50Holishinska.
07:51A little bit long.
07:54Eryfin.
07:57Jackie Young.
07:59A little bit of miscode.
08:01The shot fake.
08:02Faked out her own teammate.
08:04Puts it up.
08:17And Kiki this time does get it done.
08:47They had a slow start to this quarter, Jeff, but the last two minutes USA have come alive as far
08:56as scoring goes.
08:57Look at how they're talking, trying to get on the same page.
09:03As USA heads over to the bench, Brandon Stewart, the only, the second U.S. player on record,
09:10with Opta, who we get our stats from, to put up more than 15 points, more than five rebounds,
09:14and more than five assists in a World Women's World Cup game.
09:18Maya Moore did it 2014.
09:21I think it's a now.
09:23I think we'd get good.
09:25I think he pasti can work harder.
09:31We need to run more than six peaks on Saturday
09:34but it's bad for initially to come down.
09:36Hit us.
09:37Now we
09:37can get back.
09:37Now we can get back.
09:38We can turn it.
09:39Keep that back.
09:40Let's go.
09:43Well done, Patriots.
09:45My last night management hat and everybody
09:48on a day.
09:58Maya Moore you mentioned right before the timeout another USA great kind of retired in her prime
10:06too I think a lot of people would have liked to see her continue to play especially on the world
10:14stage life has other callings for her yeah she was one of a kind but boy did she
10:21accomplish a lot while she was playing courts get fouled by Kiki
11:01so USA get it back Brianna Stewart
11:08practicing out her refereeing career wants to call the unsportsmanlike
11:16look at Kiki and
11:22checks commit the foul
11:27yeah so the qualifications for the quarterfinals will begin tomorrow
11:34got any predictions
11:39well yeah I always have predictions whether or not I'm right or not do we need to go to the
11:44game
11:45predictor is yeah so there we go so we do know at 5 45 tomorrow and from here on out
11:52all the games
11:53will be held in the Berlin arena so at 5 45 we have hungry taking on Japan and the late
12:01game will be
12:02the home team Germany taking on Korea
12:08I don't I mean it's so hard because you say well if Japan shoots the lights out they're going to
12:14beat Hungary
12:15it's a it's an interesting one don't forget the Hungary really wiped the floor with Japan
12:21didn't they at the women's world cup qualifying tournament so that'll be a chance to get revenge
12:28there's check it turning it over I think she led with the elbow is that right or the yeah right
12:34there that's what it was
12:38she kind of swung her left arm you're right here they got it
12:46Malik of a three fouls
12:51I don't know what to expect those are two teams kind of moving in the opposite direction
12:55if you told me before the tournament I would have picked Japan but now I'm not sure
12:59against Hungary
13:05Germany against Korea I think we all know that Germany probably are the favorites in that one
13:11yeah that Hungary Japan game back in March at the FIFA basketball world cup qualifiers
13:16game day one Japan fall fell to Hungary and that was we thought it was kind of an upset you
13:22and I were
13:23there and you know we were well the thing is after the first quarter you're like well Japan they're
13:29going to cruise through this and then they only scored seven points in the second quarter back and
13:34forth but Hungary just too powerful for them there in the second half and they ended up losing by 12.
13:40It's not the same Japanese team that we saw though in March obviously with Saki back playing
13:50for Japan
13:53Zeithammer over gets blocked by Becker's she gets it over to Caitlin Caitlin Clark then has it knocked away
14:05Malik of a
14:09pretty Malik of a and Zeithammer over quite feisty Zeithammer over
14:15oh her pass intended for Malik of a and then it goes off of Brian Howard and out of bounds
14:23third quarter action USA on top 72 43
14:28flight Hamarova goes out well how about this Katerina Kalna checking into the game
14:36for coach Petkova and I'm sure I know I'm sure this is you know this is what coach she wants
14:42to see
14:43and evaluate some of these young players against the best team in the world well she's a young sparta
14:49Praha player oh pospicefila loses it gets it up and that is a shot clock violation
14:58and that is a shot clock a little bit of a hit there from Boston a little bit of whiplash
15:27for the chance to get it over to York of a pospicefila pospicefila pospicefila
15:33rather excuse me good hustle malika again in there scrapping away
15:44look at that
15:53just kind of still waiting for that caitlyn clark moment that i don't you know
15:59is it gonna come maybe her role is different but you know actually
16:07uh world cup qualifiers in puerto rico who was the mvp of that tournament it was caitlyn clark
16:13it was caitlyn clark
16:16here she is could this be one yes it is
16:31and boston called for a foul
16:41there she is again she's pulling up knocking it down caitlyn clark
16:48maybe she's saving it for the saving it for the big stage the knockout stage
17:12this is
17:13yokova misses the first i know she was seven of eight
17:15in the first half obviously we talked about she only shot 50% leading up to
17:21this game and now she's 9 of 12 it's still a very good percentage I mean it's a decent percentage
17:30not a very good percentage it's an acceptable percentage Reese gets blocked but a foul on the
17:37other side and it's possible over or yeah she's oh I think she got hit before
17:53sitting a little bit no maybe it's gonna come out to the knock on the head she's played hard
18:02yeah she has she's had a very very good tournament and this is one of those you
18:07know you're not going to take a risk in this situation I get her out yeah
18:14have to think about her future her upcoming season so Stokolova comes back
18:20into the game
18:23well Italy have closed within 12 points in their game against China they were down
18:30by 25 so the Italians making a run at second place
18:42that's the shortest three on the court good spot to be but it's just because it's the shortest doesn't mean
18:49it's the easiest oh well that's what you think
18:53there's a drive it's the lowest percentage is it really yeah because you have no depth
18:59perception there's no backward behind you it's interesting I think I think I've spoken to
19:03some people that say it's the easiest to purely on distance I was a terrible three-point shooter
19:09so it doesn't matter where I was shooting it from
19:14here goes
19:17Yoklova
19:20and this is why she's got to she's got to get this part of her game right because she gets
19:24to the line a lot
19:25but yeah she really does so today already
19:31makes both that time
19:33already today Yoklova has 11 of 14.
19:38but heading into this game she's 9 of 18
19:409 of 18 so she was going there nine times a game on average and she's you know gonna
19:47Clark it looks good oh front and back good effort by the USA scrapping away
19:58Joklova will settle for possession so she's working hard Yoklova 19 points
20:04three rebounds just one assist she has committed four fouls I doubt she'll see the whole thing out
20:13you know last year at the Euro basket well it was Hamzova at that time but she shot 78%
20:21from free throw
20:22didn't go as often but she's still you know in her six games she went 18 times and was 14
20:29of 18
20:29yeah so it was rare in my opinion her to shoot so poorly in the first two games
20:55Sintron gets in from the baseline
21:0982 to 47 that's it at the end of three
21:21the US they had a slow first what three four minutes in this corner quarter and then after
21:27that just started to take over again Brianna Stewart leading the way 19 points there the shooting
21:34percentages as you see 27 only six to 22 you would expect them to shoot a little bit better
21:41check you on the other hand two of 21 10 from three point range done a good job being aggressive
21:47and
21:47getting to the free throw line though they're 15 to 20 thanks to
21:52at least yeah uh yeah uh 11 of 14 in this game us have only gone 16 times they're only
21:5910 of 16
22:00Brianna Stewart 19.7 rebounds six assists it's just an average day at the office for her
22:08yeah it's just a whole home average day at the office
22:15the wide the bigger issue is have USA become have they benefited from tonight and is it helping them
22:25towards their aim of winning the title 100 this was a they needed to have a better performance but
22:32they also needed to prove to themselves that yesterday was just a hiccup and i really believe
22:39that they wanted to send a message to the rest of the teams in this tournament who thought after
22:44yesterday's game that they were readable the psychological game is very important
23:13it's going to be that disiego
23:13fourth quarter underway holischinska missing from the corner holischinska typically a very good three
23:19point shooter and she has not shot to the level that i believe she is capable of doing here at
23:29this tournament
23:38Kharashkova stops and pops.
23:43Yeah, she's only 16%.
23:45She's made one three-point shot heading into this game.
23:51Today, 0 of 4 from 3.
24:03Shot 39% in the qualification tournament back in March.
24:12And, of course, 35% at last year's FIBA Eurobasket.
24:18So, she really has not probably had her dream tournament,
24:23how she predicted she would shoot this year at this FIBA Women's World Cup.
24:37Yeah, that one just a little bit too small.
24:40It's too...
24:42Ooh.
24:46Well, the foul was before, but Veronica Varachkova took one to the face.
24:57Varachkova's feeling it, not how you want to...
25:00Yeah, look at this.
25:02But the foul, unfortunately, was on Holoshinska.
25:04Look, oh.
25:28The U.S. will have a couple days off.
25:31Oh.
25:31Ooh.
25:32And that was Holoshinska that kind of slammed into Reese.
25:49And Australia and Puerto Rico waiting to find out what happens in that Italy-China game
25:56happening in Maximillian Hall.
26:01Paige Beckers pulls up and buries the jumper.
26:07Yeah, it looks like China are going to win that one.
26:09They're back up by 20 now.
26:20Kiki, Kiki, Kiki.
26:21Kiki, Kiki.
26:23Kiki, Kiki.
26:26Kiki, Kiki.
26:26Kiki.
26:26I got a feeling she's going to figure into this for the U.S.A.
26:29For the future.
26:30For the future.
26:31Well, even in this tournament.
26:34Let's see.
26:35You see the quality with Kiki.
26:45She was a late call, though, remember, to this team with Asia Wilson having to pull out
26:52at the last moment.
26:53Same with Sonya Citron.
26:56And Kelsey Plum not able to participate because of injuries as well.
27:01So two of those, those two were on the list.
27:03They were on their 12.
27:13Park back into the game.
27:20The pass to the corner.
27:22Kotzka.
27:23Hornet.
27:24Very often.
27:26And then Nira Alfin just takes it right away.
27:29Citron runs her four well.
27:35Timeout for Czechia.
27:36They were now down by 41 points.
27:43Oh, Sonya Citron six points today.
27:46Her highest outing for the U.S.
27:49She is the youngest player as well on this U.S.A. roster after having a great season for
27:57Washington.
28:03But that's if it calls the timeout.
28:07So final seven, almost eight minutes of the World Cup for Czechia.
28:12They won't they don't want to bow out of here with a horrible last quarter.
28:16No, because they have during periods of the quarter.
28:22I think we've seen, you know, some good offense, some good defensive plays.
28:28The problem is, can they do it repetitively against the U.S.A. team?
28:33Best team in the world.
28:34You know, that perfect rotation defensively.
28:38Being there in help side before the ball arrives.
28:41Having a hand up on shooters.
28:43Closing out.
28:44Being able to also be there if they decide to attack.
28:49Look at Brianna and Joklova.
28:53So, Brianna played the entire second quarter.
28:57Or Stewie, if you will.
29:00And Joklova had a few breaks throughout.
29:05Still in the game.
29:23You were working in seven.
29:28Working in seven.
29:40Nice pass.
29:41Stopolova.
29:42Yep.
29:44Great job.
29:4590 to 51.
29:48Yokolova draws the double team.
29:52Finds the veteran, Stopolova.
29:59Nice.
30:00Driving hard to the basket.
30:30Pospishova coming back into the game as well as Andalova.
30:33So, good to see Pospishova coming back.
30:39As the last time we saw her, she was kind of limping out of the game.
30:43Yeah, you're right.
30:44Looks like she kind of took a hit.
31:01Oh, that was a nice drive, just didn't finish, but Iryafin can't get it to go.
31:10Iryafin can't get it to go.
31:15Rajkova's hipstack misses everything.
31:31Well, it's been a good career for Hanyasovia.
31:33You mentioned it earlier, battling back from injury.
31:35She's watching these last several minutes.
31:39What must be going through her mind, dedicating her life to basketball, really.
31:45I mean, Yokolova, slow to get up.
31:50She took a hit to the face, and she walks straight to the bench, Jeff.
31:54Probably not a great sign if automatically she decides to take herself out.
32:01She was already down the ground there.
32:03Yeah, she might be bleeding from the mouth or the nose.
32:08Yeah, there's blood there.
32:18Well, she does play hard, but it's part of the game.
32:21There's Andalova again.
32:24Reese.
32:28Pospisilova comes down with the basketball.
32:31Look at those long arms really create havoc, don't they?
32:37Andalova slows up Reese.
32:43She's got the ice pack on her neck.
32:45She's playing hard today.
32:47Oh, yeah.
32:47She's got an elbow from Reese.
32:51An inadvertent elbow.
32:52So it is her nose.
33:05Very often saved it between her legs.
33:08But it leads to a break for the checks.
33:10And they score.
33:12Andalova running into court well.
33:16She's got seven.
33:23There's Kaitlyn Clark.
33:25Good rebound for Virachkova.
33:30Little rebound and run action.
33:32Back out to Pospisilova.
33:35Now this allows Citrin to get out.
33:40And Zeithammer over knocks it away, forces the turnover.
33:45Nice bounce pass.
33:47Superlova.
33:48Yeah.
33:50I like it.
33:52Great passing.
33:55What I like about this Czechia team, they have not backed out.
33:58They've continued to play hard.
34:00They've continued to play with energy.
34:02Even though they are trailing by...
34:05A substantial...
34:06Almost at 40 points.
34:08You know, there's still...
34:10Every ball matters.
34:15Stupelova, eight points now for her.
34:17Four of eight from the field.
34:32Up there.
34:33Free throw shooting.
34:35USA only 67%.
34:36Only been 18 times.
34:39Czechia 75%.
34:42Not shot the three point ball well at all in this tournament.
34:46Really.
34:47They're two and 26.
34:48They shot well at the beginning against China.
34:59And then really couldn't get much else going.
35:03Shooting under 30% from the three point line in their first two games.
35:09It's tough.
35:10I mean, you know, you look at other teams.
35:13You look at France today.
35:1522 made threes while shooting.
35:1754%.
35:18And I'm not sure we're going to see...
35:21Joklova again.
35:22Joklova again today.
35:34Beckers.
35:39Possibly special over.
35:41Oh.
35:41running the court well.
35:43Like it.
35:43She kind of looked over at Andelova, so kind of you know, think guess a.
35:48had to check to make sure the three-point shooter
35:52wasn't going to get the ball either.
35:55Very often.
35:57Nice pass.
35:58Beautiful pass.
35:59Great pass.
36:16And the low of it down low.
36:18Oh.
36:19I got away with a foul from behind.
36:22Fuchikova missing that.
36:29That was Zahamarova.
36:32Foul.
36:33Reese.
36:35She was like, she had to, right?
36:36Look at this great pass.
36:37She was about three, four meters behind the three-point line
36:41and able to find Citroen cutting to the basket there.
36:45Clark going behind the back.
36:50And the ball knocked away from Reese.
37:00Verascova ended the paint and a foul by Citroen.
37:043-31 to go.
37:07USA in command.
37:12Again, kind of a tough game for the Czechs to play because they didn't have a chance to move forward.
37:18Tough because they had the disappointment from the overtime loss to China, but they've competed.
37:28And you could have predicted, I think, that there would be a backlash today from the United States after their
37:35tough game against Italy.
37:40Oh, 96 points.
37:42Pretty sure they're going to score in the triple digits.
37:45Not the first time this USA team.
37:48Kalen, you've got it.
37:56That sent a tremor through the Berlin Arena.
37:59The Arena.
38:00You could feel it.
38:00The murmurs.
38:14There's an Indiana Fever fan that I think is a Kalen Clark fan.
38:32P alsıkçalova.
38:33Great job following that up.
38:54up so she will get into double digits if she makes this
39:17another one for caitlin clark
39:20iri alfin with the
39:23gotta make it
39:24yeah if you're gonna you know clear out the defender you got to be able to make
39:30the point as well reese just picks the pocket
39:40foul puts reese on the free throw line with usa closing in on 100 they just need one point
40:07and they've got the 100
40:13so it's gonna be italy taking on australia and puerto rico going up against china
40:19in the qualification for the quarterfinals
40:24there's another bucket 20 point win for italy maybe that win over czechia by china was
40:31kind of the motivation the belief that this chinese team needed
40:36well i would would you have bet that italy would lose to china by 20. i'm i'm not
40:41surprised they fell flat because they went from the high of total focus and disappointment too though
40:47yeah and disappointment yeah they had the late game they had the late game again today but
40:56they end up with what looks like
41:01a tougher
41:04row to hoe
41:08you ever heard that no you haven't oh i haven't no
41:12this is my reaction
41:15well to have to play australia that's not going to be easy for italy
41:19this communication there would you rather play puerto rico or australia
41:24would i rather play puerto rico or australia i mean i would rather play puerto rico yeah not
41:29no disrespect absolutely no disrespect australia is the olympic bronze medalist
41:34yeah former world champions bronze medalist from the the world cup four years ago in sydney australia
41:41different team but still oh knocked away
41:47and malieva
41:49they're very competitive even with 121 remaining you can see clark barking out that she was fouled
41:56citron wanting to travel watch this oh it's it she might have traveled or maybe the ball had been
42:06knocked out of her hands beckers is telling the bench and the referee that it was all ball
42:12as well but again do you know how many times you and i see that and you and i get
42:17to watch the
42:18monitor yeah and the slow-mo i do genuinely think a lot of the players believe that they do get
42:25ball
42:30and the lova brought oh i thought she was going to bring some more rain there
42:38one minute remaining caitlin clark gets it to reese
42:43one minute caitlin clark gets it to reese

43:47Well, some of these young players getting significant minutes here in the fourth quarter
43:51were Kara Lawson and Team USA.
43:56Everyone on the court right now has not played at a World Cup for the U.S.
44:03Well, Clark played and Becker's at the Under-19 World Cup.
44:07True.
44:08Here's a...
44:09That you and I were at.
44:10Yes.
44:11They don't invite us to the Under-19 World Cups anymore.
44:15It was fun.
44:16You really do see the future stars.
44:19The stars of the future, I should say.
44:27Malikava gets it inbounded.
44:29This will probably be the last shot of the game.
44:32Oh, and can you believe we made it through 39 minutes?
44:4049.09.9 seconds before we had Oweji.
44:46Becker's just wanting to show off her hops.
44:50Here with 10 seconds remaining, she says, you know what, don't worry, I got it.
44:55Well, she'll cross me a court and that'll be it, I'm guessing.
44:57No, she wanted to shoot it, but I think she won't.
45:06Well, a win is what the U.S.A. needed.
45:09They needed to play well.
45:09They did.
45:11They needed to play hard.
45:12They did.
45:14And everybody played.
45:17They go into the quarterfinals with a 105-60.
45:22She said, you know what, don't be it.
45:22She said, you know what, don't be it.
45:22She said, you know what, don't be it.
