Stephen Curry’s coach has high standards for his team

While Stephen Curry never played in the Olympics, Team USA might keep just 3 players from the current squad when the superstars return to Paris. On the other hand, in a friendly match held in Malaga, Spain, Team USA showcased their dominance against Slovenia with a resounding victory of 92-62.

The team exhibited a balanced offensive approach, with all 12 players contributing to the scoring sheet. Notably, five players secured between seven and nine points, showcasing their depth.

Kerr expressed his thoughts on this. He stated, ?“This team, you can see through the first two exhibition games (that) everybody can pass. So we really want to push the tempo, attack closeouts because once we spread out the floor, these guys will distribute and move it and move it again. I thought we almost overdid it tonight,” Kerr said.

However, he noted that there were instances where the team might have gone too far in their passing approach.

Despite the convincing victory, Coach Kerr emphasized that his team could have improved during the game against Slovenia. He highlighted the team’s pass-heavy strategy, aiming to utilize the strengths of their playmakers and distribute the ball effectively.

Anticipating the challenge, facing Spain
