In the wake of Canada\u0027s win over America to capture the bronze medal at the FIBA World Cup, most wanted to look ahead to the Paris Games.
Earlier, Canada had bested the Spaniards in Spain and split a pair of exhibitions with a German team that would go on to win gold. There was also a blowout win over a plucky Latvian team that was the underdog story of the event and, of course, the opening statement was made by absolutely destroying World No. 5 France.
Dillon Brooks shook off a rough ending to his season and time with the Memphis Grizzlies by dropping 39 points on the Americans and also by being named best defensive player of the tournament.Article content Fernandez made some bold calls, particularly when he went small and benched either Olynyk or Powell and it paid off. He had said he believed Canada could be the best defensive team at the tournament and they ended up being close to that.“We have a great coach who believes in us, has great schemes, is very patient with us, finds a way to motivate us every single day to get better and figures out how to get guys in the NBA, who don’t get paid for this, to sacrifice,” Brooks said Sunday.
