After only going on a 22-0 run to start the game and having a 44-6 lead in the first, the USA team was still able to pull off an 84-point win:\u00a0122 to 38?!<\/p>\n<p>The bench was decent, outscoring the Japanese bench 59-5, which made up for the USA's lack of dominance in the paint, where they only outscored Japan 86-14.<\/p>\n<p>All jokes aside, the USA youngsters were professionals that performed well on the court and showed more class than me off the court.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese guys did a great job of staying focused today,\u201d said USA head coach\u00a0Don Showalter, who now owns an overall 20-0 win-loss record in FIBA U17 World Championship Games. \u201cThe thing we focused on is doing things the right way. We\u2019re still working on getting them to do things the right way. When you respect your opponent, you still play hard. The worst thing you can do is disrespect your opponent, not play hard and make a mockery of the game. So, our kids really focused in on that and that\u2019s what we wanted to do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Despite the dominant performance by the US team, the Japanese team did\u00a0compete hard for the entire game, especially Rui Hachimura, who scored 25 of the team's 38 points.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI really credit Japan for not giving up,\u201d said Newman. \u201cThey played hard each play down the court. They\u2019re small, but they\u2019re tough. They have a lot of heart. Tor those guys to come out and compete like they did really speaks a lot about them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The US team also beat China 113-71 yesterday and will be playing Serbia in the FIBA U17 World Semifinals.<\/p>\n<h3>FULL GAME<\/h3>\n<div class=\"omc-video-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width:100%; height: 100%\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FyAnp8iCOyc\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen width=\"600\" height=\"420\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>#TBT Malik Newman breaks defender&#39;s ankles during Team USA&#39;s 122-38 victory over Japan!
