In a pre-Olympic tuneup game, the Team USA Women’s Basketball team secured a solid victory over Germany, a team making its Olympic debut. Although it was just a warm-up match, Team USA demonstrated their strong connection and superior strength.

Stars A’ja Wilson and Breanna Stewart led the team with impressive performances. Wilson scored 19 points and grabbed 14 rebounds, while Stewart contributed 15 points and 5 assists. These are the two recent WNBA MVPs, and they proved their leadership on the court.

After a loss to the WNBA All-Stars last weekend, Team USA showed significant improvements in defense. They held Germany to only 57 points and a shooting percentage of 30%. Previously, they had allowed 117 points and a 50% shooting rate. This improvement shows that Team USA has worked hard to become more connected in their defense.

The Team USA Women’s Basketball team has a glorious history, with 55 consecutive wins in Olympic games and having won all the gold medals since 1996. Rebecca Lobo, a 1996 gold medalist and Basketball Hall of Famer, shared that the team’s progress and connection, particularly in defense, are crucial factors in their victory.

The 84-57 victory over Germany is a testament to the strength and capability of the Team USA Women’s Basketball team. With leadership from stars like Wilson and Stewart, along with significant improvements in defense, Team USA is showing they are ready to defend their title in the upcoming Olympics. This game is not only an important stepping stone but also a reaffirmation of the ability and determination of the Team USA Women’s Basketball team.
