  • Tim basket AS menang 83-76 atas Spanyol dalam laga ekshibisi terakhir sebelum bertolak ke Tokyo untuk tampil di Olimpiade 2020.
  • Damian Lillard dan Keldon Johnson menjadi pemain kunci kemenangan kali ini.
  • Keldon Johnson bertekad menjadi energi bagi tim AS di Olimpiade Tokyo.

SKOR.id - Tim basket Amerika Serikat (AS) sukses menutup rangkaian tes uji coba jelang Olimpiade Tokyo dengan kemenangan pada Minggu (18/7/2021) malam waktu setempat.

Pada uji coba keempat ini, Damian Lillard dan kawan-kawan membungkam Spanyol dengan skor 83-76.

Pelatih timnas AS, Gregg Popovich, semakin percaya diri dengan kemampuan anak didiknya setelah kemenangan tersebut.

Menurutnya, tim AS yang menelan kekalahan dari Nigeria dan Australia saat dua uji coba pertama kini telah menemukan iramanya.

"Pertahanan kami makin solid. Kami kesulitan mencetak poin tetapi mereka (pemain AS) tidak menyerah untuk bertahan," kata Gregg Popovich soal hasil versus Spanyol, dilansir dari Olympics.com.

"Menjaga fokus para pemain akan menjadi satu hal yang penting (saat bertanding di Olimpiade Tokyo)," lanjutnya.

Satu pemain muda yang mencuri perhatian Popovich dalam laga Minggu malam tersebut adalah rekrutan anyar, Keldon Johnson.

Forward San Antonio Spurs tersebut baru dipanggil ke timnas hari Jumat (16/7/2021) setelah Bradley Beal positif Covid-19 dan Kevin Love mundur karena cedera.

Popovich mengaku sangat puas dengan penampilan Keldon Johnson yang berhasil mencetak 15 poin dan menjadi pencetak poin terbanyak kedua setelah Damian Lillard hari Minggu malam.

"Keldon Johnson bermain sangat solid, membuat jalan pintas menuju keranjang. Ketika dia berlari menujung keranjang, fisiknya sangat bermain."

"Dia memiliki pertahanan setengah lapangan yang kuat. Dia tampil sangat sangat apik kemarin malam," kata Popovich memuji penampilan Johnson.

Mendapat pujian setinggi langit dari sang pelatih, Johnson mengaku senang karena bisa menjadi energi baru untuk AS menjelang Olimpiade Tokyo.

"Saya tampil sebagai energi untuk tim, memberikan napas kapanpun tim membutuhkannya," ucap pemain 21 tahun tersebut.

"Pada kuarter ketiga kami butuh letupan. Dari sisi pertahanan, saya mencoba memberikan energi atau letupan agar kami bisa mengatasi masalah (di lapangan)."
