  • Ben Simmons dikabarkan tak akan memperkuat Timnas Basket Australia meski Philadelphia 76ers sudah tersingkir dari playoff NBA 2021.
  • Sang pemain dikabarkan lebih memilih menghabiskan masa off-season untuk berlatih ketimbang ketimbang bermain di Olimpiade Tokyo 2020.
  • Pelatih Timnas Basket Australia, Brian Goorjian, mengaku terkejut mendengar kabar terkait keputusan Ben Simmons.

SKOR.id - Timnas Basket Australia terus mematangkan persiapan menuju Olimpiade Tokyo 2020. Mereka pun bakal menggelar pemusatan latihan di Amerika Serikat mulai pekan ini.

Saat waktu persiapan terus menyempit, kabar mengejutkan justru harus diterima Timnas Basket Australia dari salah satu pemainnya yang tampil di NBA.

Jurnalis ESPN, Brian Windhorst, mengabarkan bahwa Ben Simmons telah mengurungkan niatnya tampil di Olimpiade Tokyo 2020 musim panas ini.

Padahal, Ben Simmons beserta timnya sudah tersingkir dari babak playoff NBA 2021 seusai disingkirkan Atlanta Hawks di semifinal wilayah timur.

Simmons yang tak lagi memiliki agenda di NBA 2020-2021 seharusnya bisa segera mengalihkan fokus dengan bergabung dalam persiapan Australia.

Akan tetapi, sosok 24 tahun itu justru lebih ingin mengisi masa off-season dengan melatih kemampuan bermain basketnya ketimbang kembali bermain di kompetisi resmi.

Kemampuan bermain Simmons belakangan kembali mendapat sorotan mulai dari akurasi free throw yang relatif rendah sampai kegagalannya dalam melakukan dunk.

Pemain kelahiran Melbourne itu pun rela melepas kesempatan memperkuat Boomers -julukan Timnas Basket Australia- dalam kompetisi basket akbar antarnegara.

Sebelumnya, Ben Simmons sudah absen membela Australia dalam ajang Olimpiade Rio 2016 dan Piala Dunia Basket FIBA 2019.

Dihubungi terpisah oleh news.com.au, Brian Goorjian selaku pelatih Timnas Basket Australia mengaku terkejut mendengar kabar mundurnya Ben Simmons.

Apalagi Brian Goorjian tidak menerima informasi tersebut secara langsung dari sosok yang bersangkutan.

Nama Ben Simmons pun masih tercantum dalam 19 pemain anggota skuad Boomers yang akan menghadapi Amerika Serikat dalam laga pemanasan pada bulan depan.

Pada sisi lain, reaksi beragam ditunjukkan oleh publik basket Australia atas keputusan Ben Simmons mundur dari skuad Olimpiade Tokyo 2020.

Dua legenda basket Australia, Andrew Bogut dan Andrew Gaze, adalah beberapa sosok yang sudah buka suara.

Andrew Bogut menyebut keputusan Ben Simmons memalukan. Sedangkan Andrew Gaze ingin sang pemain menimbang ulang keputusannya.

"Pendidikan terbesar yang saya miliki adalah terlibat dalam Timnas Australia. Itu tidak ada duanya," ujar Andrew Gaze.

"Saya akan memohon kepadanya untuk melakukan apa pun agar bisa terlibat dalam hal itu."
