Wonder how fitness will figure in...
BG now has two fouls, goes out as Tina comes in.
US up by 5.

DT Tina Augustus... Moore and...Sue

Another missed three by US. Great defense by TC, but Sue turns the ball over.

Nice move in the paint by China. DT misses a jumper. No offensive flow.

Maya FINALLY hits a shot - a three.
China matches.

Tina with a tough move in the paint. 37-30.
TO, launch up to to Moore who lays in for a 39-30. lead just before the end of the half.

Moore misses... US parts like the sea in red and lets Yang score. 39-32 at break.

Seems to be a lack of energy, but those 3s have got to start to fall.

Fun to watch DT and Bird playing with Charles and Moore. Two UConn dynasties team up. But man, USA missing some makeable shots. Dupree couldn't miss in the playoffs, now she can't hit. USA shooting PCT has got to be poor. On the plus side, I think Tina has 10 rebounds in the first half.

Look for USA to break out in the second half. (Hopefully)

So ... I really dislike the starting lineup - for those who wanted to see the twin towers ... now you have seen it - BG and Charles each with a quick foul, and BG picks up a second and has to sit. And USA ends up with a small lineup and China takes advantage.
Problem in international play is that most teams have 4 players who can hit from outside and run very good screen action. Neither Tina or Griner are good defenders out on the perimeter and struggle with pick and roll defense. Need to start with a smaller quicker forward Nneka or Dupree or Moore and add in Augustus as the wing.
Really didn't like the rotations Geno was using and I think it all started because of the starting line-up.

Moore 4-12, Augustus 2-6, DT 0-4, Charles 2-7. Poor shooting. Has got to improve, statistically speaking.
