Kerr: “Greece are a good team, we had to be focused to close the gap”

Steve Kerr was pleased with his team’s performance against Greece but didn’t have much to say as he knows the rest of the World Cup will be even more difficult for Team USA. The US national team coach praised our national team and spoke about France’s elimination from the MundoBasket 2023 sequel, reminding them how tough the competition is.

What Steve Kerr said in detail:

“Very good use of the children. We used all 12 players, we wanted to be solid at every stage and make things difficult for the opposition. Greece are a good team, well trained and tough. We had to be focused to close the gap. Josh Hart is a winner. He chases every ball possession, every opponent. He’s always trying, he’s tough and he’s got skills. Pushes the ball in transition.

All our children saw what happened to France last night. It was a good reminder that you can’t just win a game in this tournament. Lots of talent around the world, teams are tough. You have to play well for 40 minutes. I’m glad we won the first two games and advanced to the next round. Now one game after the other and hopefully six more wins.

Each coach takes on the task of scouting each opponent. All three of my partners are great trainers and always pay attention to the details. I’m really lucky to work with them. We too are a team. We’re very lucky because we have 12 great players from the NBA. When we were building the team, we wanted to be able to do a lot of different things defensively. It’s a diverse group of players that we have“

For his part, Jaylen Brunson said:Respect to Greece, she played hard, she is well trained. We’re getting better and better as a team, we learn from victories and we want to keep doing that. From the day I met Josh Hart, he was the same player, he had the same attitude. He has the ability to do a lot of things on the pitch and he’s proud of that. He is relentless. He’s been doing this since the first day I met him. Our back five are also relentless. We are maturing, growing and still have time ahead of us“.
