USA U19 - Canada U19

Only in the first match did the Americans seem a bit off, but maybe because of the tension and pressure of the opening game. Now they look like a well-oiled machine. The further they go, the more points they score. The opponents are putting pressure on throughout the court, there are many turnovers, attacks every few seconds, and a lot of rebounds and three-pointers. I don't see what could stop such an offense. From what I've seen, Canada didn't leave much of an impression on me. If one of the more serious German teams scored 104 points against Canada, then the Americans could easily reach 110.

Perhaps a slightly unconventional matchup with American players in the game. However, I believe that the total was set due to the abundance of matches with teams that cannot handle pressure, have poor ball control, and as a result, the US can steal the ball and finish attacks in a matter of seconds. Canada has many tall players, with center forwards standing at 216, 213 and even 233cm, making it harder to score easy points near the basket in positional attacks. Historically, U19 games between these two teams usually end up being under. I hope to see Canada play smart and slow down the pace, as it is probably impossible to outrun the Americans.

America against Canada, so when it is traditional to see a lot of points in men's or youth team matchups, so I hope for the same from this meeting. The USA is very successful, averaging over 100 points per game, and Canada also loosened up after their first game. I believe this game will be crucial and when two teams play better, just run and shoot, that's all we can expect.
