USA prepare for Finland at the World Cup

Saturday, August 30 2014 by SNTV
  • Intro:

    The United States of America basketball team trained in Bilbao, Spain on Friday ahead of their first game of the 2014 FIBA Basketball World Cup.

    Script:

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Mike Krzyzewski, USA coach (on the challenge players face competing in an international competition):

    "Main thing it does, they have to adapt to doing new things. First of all they're not in the NBA, they're in internationals. Secondly, they're not the only good player, or one of two great players on a team. They share time, they may have to come off the bench."

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Stephen Curry, USA guard:

    "Regardless of if we're the most talented team or not, nothing's going to be easy."

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Andre Drummond, USA centre:

    "We take every team seriously. We don't want to, look at any team just because of height or size. We just, go out there and play basketball all year. A lot of teams will have a lot of bigs (players) that we have there, about six (feet) ten (inches), but, we have a lot of great guard play that will, really open us up in the post."

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Anthony Davis, USA forward (on tournament hosts Spain):

    "We're not there yet. We can't focus on Spain right now. We need to focus on, feeling tomorrow and trying to beat them (Finland)."
