00:0039 to 36, but go ahead and play the game for this year.
00:11Second half here in Berlin Arena.
00:14Semi-final matchup between Spain and USA.
00:21Our team smokes the defense, turns it over,
00:25and kick ball, it's gonna stay
00:29with Spain, kinda got lucky there,
00:31cause that would've been an easy layup.
00:34That would've been two points on the other end
00:36for the USA, for sure.
00:50La Femme.
00:54Carrera, shot clock winding down,
00:56and Martine's gonna have to get it off, throws it up.
01:00Had she made another one of those, I would've said...
01:03Yeah, I would've been like...
01:04Bye.
01:05I've been up on my feet.
01:08Good defensive possession to start the third for USA.
01:17The arena is like, we're jammin'.
01:21I don't know who the DJ is, but...
01:23And you know what I love, is that a lot of the people
01:25came back in for the second game.
01:29Yeah, it's a travel.
01:30Cause you know, it's a session ticket.
01:32Your ticket included the USA,
01:34the, sorry, the Germany-France game,
01:36and now this one.
01:38And this gym is back full again.
01:40Yeah.
01:41So those of you watching,
01:43that is not a travel in the WNBA.
01:45But it is in FIBA.
01:47But it is in international as well.
01:48Yes.
01:54Skip pass, Martin keeps it alive.
01:58Extra, Kondé, wide open.
02:01Four, three, ties it.
02:04Maria Kondé had all day.
02:07She lined that one up.
02:08She didn't have to rush it.
02:13Copper finds Jackie Young.
02:15And the response, from Jackie Young.
02:20USA back up by three.
02:26Martin now will try.
02:28You bet!
02:32It's just raining threes here.
02:34It is.
02:35It's been raining threes since September 4th.
02:38Especially in this gym, Kristen.
02:40Yes.
02:42Couple of records have been broken in this area.
02:44Nope.
02:46First it was Japan with 20 threes in a game.
02:50Stewie has the mismatch turnaround.
02:53Tough shot, Brianna Stewart.
02:55I mean, there's not much more you can do defensively
02:58on that play against a player like Brianna Stewart.
03:00It's been a good point.
03:07Cazorla drives baseline.
03:09Backdoor cut.
03:11Conde misses.
03:12But Favre's got to go back up when she gets an offensive rebound
03:15like that though.
03:16Yeah, that would have been an easy two points.
03:21One more pass.
03:22Conde from the corner pocket, is good!
03:26Well, Maria Conde had four threes in that opening day win.
03:31Since then, she's cooled off a little bit,
03:33but she is three from four from three-point range here tonight.
03:37Spain in front by one.
03:42Collier said, nah-ah.
03:43And this is where Stewart and Collier, I think, are going to take over.
03:49Yes, they are.
03:50Whenever the game gets close, great pass.
03:52Carrera, got to go up.
03:54She needed to go up earlier.
03:58Now Carrera will line one up from the three.
04:01That one around and out.
04:07Copper will try.
04:10Martine pulls down the rebound for Spain.
04:21Martine looking to go one-on-one again versus Brianna Stewart.
04:24Conde lines it up.
04:28Misfires.
04:30USA throws it ahead and a foul.
04:35I thought that was a smart foul.
04:38Had that not been a foul, it would have been a three-on-two.
04:42Copper turn that corner real quick.
04:47So Collier heads to the bench.
04:50Aliyah Boston comes in.
04:54As well as Caitlin Clark.
04:59Felicia Flora is back in.
05:02And Gustafsson, I haven't seen Gustafsson a lot.
05:05She has not made a field goal, just five minutes in the first half.
05:09No.
05:09She hasn't played a lot though, hasn't attempted a lot of shots.
05:12We saw that transition three that she missed.
05:17Young takes the midi.
05:18That one's way off.
05:19Yeah, that was not a great contested pull-up jump shot.
05:23No.
05:27Get it to Conde.
05:28They're looking to go inside.
05:29A lot of contact.
05:31Ooh, holding for sure.
05:32Yeah.
05:34I mean, that's one of those where you need to show the player on video.
05:41Like, you're holding her with your...
05:44She held her with her right arm.
05:46She's trying to be sneaky.
05:47Yeah.
05:48That's actually kind of a veteran play, to be honest.
05:54Conde turns the corner.
05:56No look pass inside to Awa Fahm.
05:58She cannot finish.
06:01A kick ahead to Copper.
06:04Oh, plus the foul.
06:08Can I be a copper?
06:09Goes up with force.
06:12Let's take a look at this.
06:14Oh, yeah.
06:17Copper didn't even move.
06:19No.
06:20I understand why she flexed after the flex on.
06:23Yeah.
06:23I was like, put the flex on.
06:27Copper playing for Phoenix Mercury in the W.
06:35Has seven points.
06:38And USA back up by four.
06:44Conde.
06:47Tough turnaround.
06:50Can't get it to go.
06:59Young throws it to Stewart.
07:03Stewart looking to attack baseline.
07:04Goes up and off the glass and in.
07:06Brianna Stewart.
07:07Yes.
07:10Okay, Stewie.
07:12Yeah.
07:13Okay.
07:1312 points now.
07:15Yeah.
07:16It's difficult.
07:17I think they're really attacking Gustafsson from the outside and saying, you know what,
07:23we don't think you can come out and defend us all the way to the basket.
07:26Like that, that's the focus and you can see it.
07:29It's a tough matchup, for sure.
07:31All right, tie down on the floor for Spain.
07:33Let's have a listen in.
08:01Oh, she's coming off.
08:04Hand down for Caitlin on this side.
08:06Stew, it's your world.
08:08Okay?
08:11But, Kristen, how about the progression of Kalia Copper?
08:14Obviously, I followed her game a little bit more here in Europe.
08:20And, I mean, when she first came over to play professionally in Europe, she was on Euro
08:25Cup teams, had huge statistics on Euro Cup teams.
08:28And then she jumps to, like, Prefer Maria's Avenida, you know, the team in Salamanca.
08:35In Spain.
08:35In Spain.
08:36Yeah.
08:39EuroLeague women that year in 2022.
08:42MVP of the EuroLeague women.
08:44Yeah.
08:47Very gifted, very talented.
08:54Flores.
08:55Oh, nice pass inside.
08:56Oh, a foul.
08:58Can't finish.
08:59That was a great pass.
09:00That was like a great look.
09:01It had to be quick, too.
09:03If you're Spain, though, you cannot miss those easy ones versus USA.
09:09And offensive foul on Kalia Copper on the other end.
09:14Very upset about the call.
09:18I'd like to see a replay on that.
09:22I was watching the ball.
09:24It was away from the ball as well.
09:25Yeah, yeah, yeah.
09:30So, Kalia Copper knows these Spanish players well.
09:32Oh, for sure.
09:33Also, you know, she played, what, five, six years?
09:36Over in Europe and Euro Cup women.
09:38Also EuroLeague women.
09:39FIBA, EuroLeague women.
09:41Flores.
09:42Attacks.
09:43Ooh.
09:44Oh.
09:46Yeah, I think it went off the foot of Boston.
09:49And there, unfortunately, she just slipped.
09:53So, six on the shot clock.
09:55Paige Beckers back in for USA.
10:05Cazorla.
10:09Not this time for her.
10:10Stewart.
10:10Good job there by the U.S.
10:12Boxing out.
10:14I get it to Young.
10:16And she turned it over, unfortunately.
10:19Conde.
10:20Transition three.
10:22Why not?
10:23You're three of four.
10:23I don't disagree with that.
10:25Maybe could have had a layup, but.
10:28Ooh.
10:29Conde putting the pressure on.
10:33Pick and pop for Leah Boston.
10:36And it's the back iron.
10:39Now Flores looking to push.
10:43Attacks.
10:45Just rolls off the rim.
10:52Clark, that's definitely going to be a travel.
10:54Yep.
10:58And again, that's that, you know, Clark a little frustrated.
11:01She's obviously playing in her first World Cup.
11:05She's played, she's played youth FIBA competition.
11:08She was there on March.
11:09Yeah, she was.
11:10Don't forget.
11:10She was also a little bit.
11:11That's a qualification.
11:12Actually, MVP of that qualification tournament.
11:15But that being said, you know, that is a very big difference between the FIBA game and the WNBA game.
11:22You know, you have to put the ball down before you pick up your pivot foot.
11:26It's also like the physicality is different, too.
11:28We haven't talked about that enough.
11:31Don't get me wrong.
11:32I think it takes the U.S. a little while to.
11:34Like that.
11:35Screen right there.
11:37Throw it up top to Gustafson.
11:39And she goes in for two.
11:42But it's just a different type of physicality.
11:44I feel like the WNBA is a little bit more.
11:46It's physical, but it's cleaner.
11:47And I don't know how to describe it.
11:51What about also, you know, the defensive role?
11:55Oh, yeah.
11:55Defensive three seconds.
11:57Reese.
11:59Because I think, you know, at least the first couple games, a lot of teams, players on the opposing team,
12:06were able to, like, kind of catch and drive because the U.S. help side wasn't there.
12:10Where here today, you've seen them, actually, you know, a pick on pop on the 45 on a clear outside.
12:16So no one there, over there.
12:18You've seen the U.S. underneath the basket in help side and gone and take the pop.
12:22Well, you can't do that in the WNBA because of the defensive rule, the three-second defensive rule, right?
12:28So I think, I do think the U.S.A. kind of improves as these tournaments go on and the
12:32more games they play.
12:33Yep, absolutely.
12:34Adjusting to the game.
12:36We've also seen a lot of the European players who are used to playing a FIBA going into the W
12:40and struggling with adjusting to that defensive three seconds.
12:44And they're getting called for it.
12:44You've seen it, right?
12:48Martine.
12:49Oh.
12:50Oh, my goodness.
12:52She has been phenomenal.
12:56Martine.
12:58Now with 13 points, Reese inside, throws it in to Collier.
13:06Oh.
13:06And one has Fisa Collier.
13:13Muscles it up versus Buena Vida.
13:16Or, excuse me, that was on Martine.
13:22So that's her third foul.
13:25Martine needs to be careful.
13:29Martine definitely needs to be careful here.
13:31She's got three.
13:34Don't want her.
13:36No.
13:36You need her in the game right now with the way she's playing.
13:39Yeah, offensively especially.
13:42Flores.
13:44Quick first step.
13:45She doesn't know how to.
13:47Buena Vida.
13:48Oh, and one for Buena Vida.
13:53I agree with you.
13:54She must have been under the weather.
13:55She has no reason.
13:56There's no reason why she wouldn't have played that quarterfinal game against Australia.
14:01She's fearless.
14:03Yeah.
14:04Oh, yeah.
14:04I mean, but we've seen it.
14:06You've seen it in FIBA, you're a league woman.
14:12But I would say, like, there's something in Spain's DNA where they believe that they can win every single time,
14:20every single game they participate in.
14:22So, I truly, you know, it's like a national team thing.
14:28Kaitlin Clark misfires.
14:31Rebound stays.
14:33And Ryan Howard could not hang on to the pass.
14:36So, unfortunate turnover for USA.
14:43Just a four-point lead here.
14:46A little over two minutes left in the third.
14:49Again, winner goes to the finals to face France tomorrow.
14:56Martine.
14:57Ooh.
14:58Oh.
15:00My gosh.
15:01She is nasty.
15:06So many oohs and uhs.
15:08I mean, do you think Portland are here and they're just salivating at what they drafted?
15:15Oh, for sure.
15:17I mean, hold on.
15:19You know, before we talk about, you know, her obviously getting drafted and going to Portland,
15:26she's also headed to Girona next year and will play FIBA EuroLeague competition for the first time in her young
15:32career.
15:32And I'm really excited to see her in FIBA EuroLeague.
15:36She's going to be, I mean, she's good now.
15:39She's 20, Kristen.
15:41She's going to be so good.
15:43Her and all of them.
15:45Come on.
15:45Come on now.
15:50Two-point lead for USA.
15:55Can Spain take the lead at the end of three?
16:00Fall back again into that two-three zone.
16:02Kethisa Collier off the mark and Carrera can't hang on to it.
16:09Going back to Indiana Martine.
16:11I mean, she's been amazing.
16:15But I want to put it into perspective.
16:18She has 15 points here today.
16:21Beckers.
16:23Misses a rare middie for her.
16:25Usually that's a layup.
16:27Flores.
16:31Oh, a cutting.
16:33Gustafsson wide open.
16:36So, putting Indiana Martine into perspective.
16:40She is only one of two players under the age of 21 to have scored at least 11 points or
16:46more.
16:46Do you know who that other player was, Kristen?
16:49It was Candice Parker back in 2006.
16:53Collier Copper.
16:57Nasty D-Cell puts USA back up by two.
17:04Final minute here in the third.
17:08Martine.
17:11Turns the corner.
17:13Ooh, Angel Reese.
17:15It looked like a foul.
17:17It looked like a foul from my angle.
17:20Looked like she picked her pocket, though.
17:29So, Martine heads to the free throw line.
17:31That's Angel Reese's third.
17:32Let's have a look here.
17:35A little bit of body.
17:42But, you know what?
17:42At the same time, there were a lot of calls that were very...
17:46Oh, they're going to look at it.
17:47Oh, they're going to review it.
17:50Let's listen in.
17:53All right, the refs are going to have a look at this official review.
17:57Let's have a look at this official review, let's have a listen.
17:58Let's review a club more function.
18:01Can you run?
18:0553.9.
18:07Go, go, go, go, go.
18:0953.9.
18:11OK, so after review, the club will be set to 53.9.
18:27All right, so they were just looking at the clock there, adding more time to the game clock.
18:37So we're actually at 53.9.
18:44Also kind of gave both teams to huddle up real quick, a little free time out there.
18:49That's what it is.
18:50Both of them, I can guarantee you, have talked about, Spain have talked about what they're going to do defensively
18:58and what they're going to do on their next offensive attack.
19:01And I'm sure Carol Lawson and her staff have drawn up a play on the offensive end here.
19:09I'm going to guess they're going to fall back into a zone.
19:12What do you think?
19:13Spain? I wouldn't be surprised.
19:14I mean, especially with the way that the U.S. has shot the three today.
19:18They're only three of 14 in this game, Kristen, 21%.
19:24And we are all tied up at 58.
19:30As Martin heads to the bench, Cazorla comes in and here's the 2-3 zone.
19:40Oh, oh, yeah, you can see that from here.
19:43That was going out of bounds.
19:44So another turnover for USA.
19:50And Spain.
19:52Chance here to take the lead.
19:54Do you go for a 2-for-1?
19:56Too late.
19:56No.
19:59It would have been way too quick of a shot to try and get up.
20:03Well, they could have shot it at 33, but Cazorla drives baseline, gets knocked out of bounds.
20:09It will stay with Spain.
20:11Six seconds.
20:15And Henzo comes in as Gustafsson heads to the bench.
20:24So a little bit, the ball is kind of lower on the sideline.
20:29It's an awkward spot.
20:31Buena Vida has to go.
20:33Looks to attack Clark.
20:35Fading away.
20:36Reese pulls down the rebound.
20:37USA should hold this for the last shot of the third.
20:42And they're going to.
20:45Clark.
20:48Collier.
20:51Off the mark.
20:52Flores has time.
20:53Gets it up ahead.
20:54Can they get it off in time?
20:55Buena Vida.
20:57Buena Vida.
20:59This place would have lost their minds.
21:03Paul Gasol.
21:04Paul Gasol was about to spring on the floor.
21:08But the court, honestly, the awareness of Flores.
21:13Yeah.
21:14Right away.
21:15She has played great for them.
21:16I mean, breakout tournament for her, but 10 points in the quarterfinals.
21:21They're the statistics, folks.
21:22Well, the good news is Spain have got to the free throw line more times than they did the entire
21:29first half.
21:32And the other good news is they're shooting the ball very, very well.
21:36And guess what?
21:37They won the third quarter.
21:38They won the third quarter.
21:40And the game is tied.
21:42And we have 10 minutes left of basketball.
21:44This is absolutely amazing.
21:48I really.
21:52I love this game.
21:53I don't know if I've told you that, Shona, but I do love this game so very much.
21:58Spain is keeping everyone on their toes right now.
22:02They have never beaten the U.S.
22:05Winner of this game is going to play France tomorrow.
22:09If you're.
22:11Yeah.
22:13I'm left speechless once again, but.
22:17Spain has done such a good job disrupting the flow of U.S.'s offense.
22:25And U.S. has been so good at getting out and running the floor and playing at a high pace.
22:32They have not been able to do that today.
22:34I mean, the score is in the.
22:375, 6, 4, 50, 58.
22:39They played each other back in 2014 in the gold medal game in Turkey A.
22:45With U.S.A. winning that game.
22:50I mentioned.
22:51Sorry.
22:51Go ahead.
22:52Scan the QR code to access Quartzide 1891, the home of FIBA live streaming.
22:58Watch FIBA Women's World Cup, and now it's Fan Zone, where you can interact with the basketball community in real
23:05time.
23:07Woo.
23:08Final call time.
23:10I'm nervous, and I don't know for who.
23:13Fourth quarter, final ten minutes, semifinal game here, USA, Spain.
23:18We are tied at 58.
23:20Brianna Stewart.
23:21Oh, my gosh.
23:24Raquel Carrera.
23:26Who are you?
23:28Who are you?
23:34Wow, look at this.
23:36Look at two-handed.
23:37Just rips it out of the air.
23:46Flores.
23:48Ooh, that goes over and back, so.
23:51I really hope that Carrera's coach in New York, Chris DeMarco.
23:57I didn't want to say his name.
23:59I'll say his name.
24:00Is watching this game.
24:07Obviously, Brianna Stewart and Carrera playing together in New York this summer in the WNBA.
24:15Copper has the mismatch.
24:17Looking to drive baseline.
24:18Muscles it up.
24:19Oh, and in.
24:20Kalia Copper.
24:21How the fuck is that?
24:23I mean, I really like her game.
24:30Carrera.
24:31Oh.
24:31Turned down a wide-open three.
24:33And she could shoot the three.
24:34Flores also turned down to three.
24:37Instead, drives against Boston.
24:40And that goes out of bounds.
24:45I feel like the way that the game has been going for Carrera, why not shoot that?
24:52Really?
24:53I'm saying shoot it.
24:54Shoot the three.
24:55She should have shot the three.
24:56She hasn't been.
24:58She was more productive in the first half scoring, but she has been incredibly efficient when she's
25:03on the court.
25:04Like, sometimes it's not all about scoring.
25:06Oh, yeah.
25:06Brianna Stewart was definitely fouled.
25:16I'm going to say this.
25:17You don't want to poke the bear in Brianna Stewart.
25:21You don't want to do that.
25:24Jackie Young.
25:26It's like a rare miss almost.
25:30Oh, Jackie Young, wide open.
25:32Nobody matched up with her.
25:35Yeah.
25:38So lead goes back to four.
25:404-0 start for the USA.
25:46Cazorla.
25:48Now Flores.
25:50Got a little bit of a mismatch inside.
25:54Cazorla looking to take Stewie.
25:58Not this time.
25:59Boston pulls down the rebound.
26:01Clark looking to push.
26:01Goes ahead to Stewart, who has the mismatch.
26:06And this is exactly what USA wants to do.
26:08They want to get up and down the four.
26:10But, you know, this, this, the shot by Cazorla, it was a miss.
26:15Okay, fine.
26:16Hinzo there challenged the rebound a little bit.
26:19Knew she wasn't going to get it.
26:20I think Boston's the one who came down with it.
26:22And then Buena Vida came over and tried to trap.
26:25And that gave, instead of just sprinting back, you know, she should have stayed with Clark
26:30where the outlet pass went and then Clark looked up ahead to Stewart.
26:34I think we're going to have official review here, possibly on the foul by Cazorla.
26:40Oh, she made a play on the ball.
26:45So let's have a listen in.
26:48Let me do quite the reference person like that.
26:50And we got main camera normal speed, please.
26:53You just saw the season on the floor.
26:55It's personal.
26:57So can we go at the point of the contact, please?
27:01Like, and stop, stop.
27:04And we got the time.
27:06Go back up.
27:07And now run it.
27:08Normal speed.
27:10Yeah, I see her holding with the left hand.
27:13But the other hand is trying to stop the ball.
27:15So.
27:16I see the same.
27:17So we got a normal basketball action.
27:19After review, they contacted him by the criteria.
27:21We have baseline for Team Red.
27:24I'm really glad that they saw the same thing I did, even though we don't do the same job.
27:29Because that would have been, that would have been a game changer had, I think, Spain picked up an unsportsmanlike
27:39foul.
27:43It's really hard for me not to sing along to the Backstreet Boys right now.
27:48We've had great music.
27:49We've had great music in this arena.
27:50Whoever the DJ is, he is on fire.
27:58Jackie Young.
28:03Looking for Stewart.
28:04Does have the mismatch.
28:05They get it to Ka.
28:06Copper goes up.
28:07Can't get it to go.
28:08Martine.
28:11And an unnecessary foul.
28:1490 feet away.
28:16But you have something to give.
28:17So, okay.
28:18Yep.
28:24That's Copper's third foul.
28:28Still a four-point lead.
28:33For the U.S.
28:36Martine, I don't know who she threw that to.
28:38Luckily, it landed in the hands of Buena Vida.
28:40Not sure who it was intended for.
28:44Oh, nice pass inside to Awa Fahm.
28:51Again, USA throws it up ahead, but is blocked.
28:55Was that Flores?
28:56That was Alicia Flores jumping out of the gym.
28:59Where have you been my whole life?
29:01I mean, I know she's in school in the U.S.
29:05Oh, gosh.
29:07That was on Buena Vida.
29:08Look at this.
29:09Oh, no.
29:10Oh, it was Buena Vida.
29:11It wasn't.
29:11Buena Vida got the block.
29:13Still.
29:14Flores is extremely athletic.
29:17Oh, no.
29:18They did give it to Buena Vida.
29:20Copper cutting.
29:21Can't get it to go.
29:22Stewart with the rebound.
29:26And she'll head to the line.
29:30But Flores is with the Washington Mystics, actually.
29:36Flores.
29:37She's playing with the Washington Mystics right now.
29:39She's playing with the Washington Mystics.
29:42Started with, started from the bottom.
29:45Started with the development player.
29:48As a development player and then is now on the roster.
29:53And Stewie hits the first.
29:5613 points.
29:59They get 14 and leading all scorers with 14 points.
30:05Five rebounds as well for USA's captain.
30:13Martin looking for somebody.
30:18Thumb looking to back down.
30:20Brianna Stewart in the low post.
30:22And snatched away from Brianna Stewart.
30:25Great hands.
30:26You said don't poke the bear.
30:28The bear is waking up, coming out of hibernation.
30:35Oh, Boston almost travels.
30:39And spin and turn around.
30:42Aaliyah Boston extends the lead to six.
30:48Martin.
30:49Not this time.
30:50Stewie said, uh-uh.
30:58Brianna Stewart, I told you she was going to get her back.
31:01Nope.
31:03And that went out of bounds.
31:04So, great defensive play from Brianna Stewart.
31:13Stewie in the low block.
31:14Turn around over three defenders.
31:17And she will head to the free throw line once again.
31:21What did I say earlier?
31:24Don't poke the bear.
31:27And a timeout on the floor for Spain.
31:30I mean, right now, you need to figure out how to get stops.
31:34But how to get easy lifts and scores offensively.
31:39Yeah, that's-
31:39And there's no reason to freak out, though.
31:42There's a lot of time left, and you're only trailing by six.
31:45That's nothing.
31:47Two possessions.
31:48Yeah.
31:49However, that is Martin's fourth foul.
31:52So, that's a little worrisome.
31:53She needs to be on the court, yeah.
31:55But right now, this fourth quarter,
31:58the U.S.
32:00eight and Spain have only scored two points.
32:04You see the turnovers.
32:07Spain have three turnovers.
32:10And the U.S. have scored four points off of those turnovers.
32:17But, yes, a lot of time left.
32:19No need to freak out.
32:21Six minutes.
32:22You guys are good.
32:24You got a lot of familiar faces in the crown.
32:27Sandrine Gouda.
32:29Pau Gasol.
32:30And then the coach, obviously, right between Pau Gasol and Sandrine Gouda
32:35is the famous Natalia Heikova, USK Praha, for many years.
32:41She coached in Spain professionally as well.
32:44EuroLeague champion.
32:46EuroLeague champion.
32:47We, like, you know, we talked about this.
32:49This is like VIP.
32:51VIP, the stars are out here today in Berlin, that's for sure.
33:01So, Brianna Stewart now six for nine from the free throw line tonight.
33:06Hits the first.
33:11And this is free throw attempt number 35 for USA.
33:17They shot 27 free throws in the first half.
33:22And the lead now eight points.
33:33Conde get it to Carrera.
33:37Hand off.
33:38Buena Vena turns the corner and hesitates and throws it away.
33:44A little miscommunication.
33:48But now Spain need to settle down a little bit.
33:51Yeah, they really do.
33:51Try and get a stop here.
33:52Get a couple consecutive stops.
33:58Steward.
34:00Now Clark.
34:03For three.
34:05Hits the back iron.
34:13Martin, backdoor cut.
34:15No look to Carrera.
34:18And that one, a round and out.
34:20How about this hustle, though, by the two little guards of Spain?
34:25Are you surprised?
34:26I'm not at all.
34:27I mean, Indiana Martin is just breaking records.
34:31She's the youngest player to score more than 16 points in a Women's World Cup semifinal.
34:36And that says a lot.
34:39Like, we've had some very, very good young talents over the years, internationally, from all over the world.
34:46So, for her name to be there right now, it's absolutely incredible.
34:54Stewart gives it inside to Chelsea Gray.
34:57And Chelsea Gray, now USA is going to pick on Martine in the low block.
35:03That's a, they've done that a few times now.
35:05They know that she has four fouls and a ten-point lead.
35:09Spain.
35:11Great job.
35:13And Conde elevates.
35:16Cuts it back to single digits.
35:18Only their fourth point in this quarter.
35:21They had 22 points in the third quarter, remember?
35:25Boston drives right past Gustafsson, but can't finish.
35:29Oh, my gosh.
35:33Conde.
35:36Martine.
35:39Probably should have, like, Eurostep, pass faked.
35:42Yeah.
35:43Gone up with a right.
35:44I know she's left-handed, but.
35:46Yeah.
35:47Like.
35:51So, baseline, out of bounds.
35:5214 on the shot clock.
35:56Does Spain have enough left in the tank?
36:06Conde.
36:08Trying to get the ball.
36:09Does.
36:10Shot clock.
36:10Ticking.
36:12Tough.
36:13Three-point bucket will not go.
36:15And no one crashing the offensive rebounds right now.
36:20They need to get some looks.
36:21I feel like Gray should be very fresh.
36:24She's been on the bench for a while.
36:25Yes.
36:25For the USA.
36:27Go high-low to Stewie.
36:28She kicks it back out.
36:29Jackie Young.
36:30No-look pass inside to Kalia Copper.
36:32Kalia Copper.
36:34USA.
36:37Starting to pull away.
36:39Yes.
36:39You can feel that a little bit now.
36:44Ten-point lead.
36:48Martine for three.
36:49That one's short.
36:53And Gustafsson is fouled underneath the basket.
37:00They got to get something going.
37:01They need a bucket here.
37:03They're outscored by ten this quarter.
37:0614-4 for USA in the fourth.
37:14Nice drop pass.
37:15And Stewart just kind of plows through Cacorla.
37:32So that's going to be her third personal foul.
37:39So still baseline out of bounds for Spain.
37:46Martine.
37:50Condé.
37:51Turnaround jumper is good.
37:54Maria Condé.
37:55Starting to come alive.
37:5615 points.
37:5917, excuse me.
38:03Here we go.
38:04There's that post up again.
38:05Versus Martine.
38:12Jackie Young gets it to Chelsea Gray.
38:17Brianna Stewart pulls down the rebound.
38:19Extra to Boston.
38:20One more.
38:21Back up top to Jackie Young.
38:23Not this time.
38:29Martine almost throws it away.
38:33They go inside to Gustafsson.
38:35Quick turnaround.
38:36That one's short.
38:39Maybe could have taken her time as she had a little bit of a, well, she had quite a bit
38:44of a height advantage.
38:47Going up against Gray.
38:50Martine needs to be careful here.
38:56Jackie Young with the pull-up.
39:00And the lead goes back to 10 for USA with 2.33 left.
39:05Timeout on the floor for Spain.
39:08Shoney, you kind of have a feeling that USA is just pulling away.
39:12USA just have too much power.
39:15Especially on the offensive end.
39:18And, well, you know what?
39:20I said especially on the offensive end.
39:22And, I mean, Spain are working for every point they have had to get.
39:25They've only got six points here in this fourth quarter.
39:2916 for the United States.
39:30You said it.
39:31Don't poke the bear.
39:32Brianna Stewart.
39:3316 points and six rebounds.
39:38Yeah, look at this.
39:40Nine turnovers for Spain in the first half.
39:42Only five in the second.
39:44They've done a much better job taking care of the basketball.
39:46However, they're just really struggling to find the bottom of the net here in the fourth.
39:52Did you know?
39:53No, I didn't.
39:54Tell me.
39:54Did you know?
39:55These are our OPTA facts.
39:57So, thank you very much to our OPTA guys.
40:02There's only two players to have scored 16 plus points in three different Women's World Cup semifinals.
40:08Guess who one of them is?
40:10I don't know.
40:12Tell me.
40:12The bear of the USA tonight.
40:15Brianna Stewart.
40:17Are we going to give her a new nickname?
40:19Brianna the Bear Stewart?
40:22Will she like that or think we're ridiculous?
40:23I think she'll kill me.
40:25That's what I think.
40:31You know what?
40:31I've seen crazier things happen, though.
40:33How about that fourth quarter in a qualification game?
40:41A nice little drop-off pass to Gustafsson.
40:44She can't hang on to it.
40:46Awa Fahm launches a three.
40:51And Copper now will bring the ball up the floor for USA.
41:02Again, USA looking to post up their bigger guards.
41:05Yeah.
41:06The double comes.
41:08And stolen away from Martine.
41:09They've got numbers.
41:11Martine.
41:14Almost.
41:15She had Conde open earlier, too.
41:17That's a lot of iffy passes here.
41:21And that one is, yep, that was the third iffy pass in that one.
41:26It's becoming a lot more difficult for, I mean, time is running out, basically.
41:31Yeah, you've got about 90 seconds left in this game.
41:34You're down 10.
41:36And that is poked from behind, out of bounds.
41:41Nine seconds on the shot clock.
41:48But if USA scores here, not looking great for Spain.
41:55They need to stop.
41:55I mean, they have to get a stop.
41:56They need to stop and they need to go.
42:00Young against Martine.
42:02Oh, Jackie Young makes it a 12-point lead for USA.
42:08USA, you've got to score and you've got to score quickly.
42:10You've got to go quick.
42:15Gustafsson gets her own rebound and is fouled.
42:18So she'll at least go to the free throw line and stop the clock here.
42:22And you see a lot of guards coming to check in for Spain.
42:26We've got Puello, Flores, and Buena Vida coming in.
42:47Again, winner of this game.
42:49Advances to the finals to face France.
42:52And right now, things are looking pretty good for USA with 72 seconds left.
42:59Yep.
43:04A little full court pressure from Spain.
43:07I don't mind, you know, free throw line.
43:09Right now, they've got to look for quick shots, threes, or get to the free throw line and stop the
43:13clock.
43:13But first, they need to stop.
43:15Yeah, and USA is going to use every second.
43:20Chelsea Gray.
43:22Pulls up.
43:24Can't get it to go, Puello.
43:25Go.
43:25Pass to go quickly.
43:27Pass to go.
43:30And here, you don't have Conde on the floor.
43:32So not a lot of three-point shooters, actually, the Spanish team has on the court right now.
43:37Puello.
43:39Oh, around and out.
43:42And that being said, do you remember that three that Puello hit at the Eurobasket last year?
43:45Oh, yeah.
43:47Against France in the semis.
43:48And USA will head to the finals to face France.
44:00And you've got to give credit to Spain for sticking around for 30 minutes, basically.
44:07Yeah, at least.
44:08This is the closest, well, not the closest game, but a very well-played game by Spain.
44:15But it's just not enough as Team USA are headed back to the finals.
44:23They will play France tomorrow.
44:29Well, even the front row are standing up and congratulating both these teams.
44:36A rematch.
44:37A rematch tomorrow between USA and France.
44:41The final score, USA 76, Spain 66.
44:46And, yes, the rematch we're talking about is from the Paris Olympics.
44:51I don't know.
44:51The public habe.
