The United States men's basketball team played an Olympic group stage matchup with the Puerto Rico men's basketball team this morning, and they defeated the Puerto Rico men's basketball team 104-83. Ended their entire Olympic group stage schedule. The United States men's basketball team also advanced to the quarterfinals with three wins. In the quarterfinals, they will face the Brazil men's basketball team.

If the United States team will be wary against South Sudan, then the United States men's basketball team will not be under any pressure in this game against the Puerto Rico men's basketball team. The game lost its suspense after three quarters. The United States players are also extremely relaxed when playing on the court, and Edwards scored 26 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists today, including 11-of-15 shooting, a team-high score. James and Curry tried their heads small, James got 10 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists, and Curry got 8 points and 5 rebounds.

When you look at the data column, you will find that only Haliburton has an empty data column in the United States team. In this game, Haliburton played 10 minutes and got 0 points, 0 rebounds and 0 assists.

After watching this game, many fans thought that Haliburton had little desire to attack on the field, and he seemed to like passing the ball too much. You'll find that your teammates also realized that Haliburton didn't score, so in the fourth quarter, White deliberately passed the ball to Haliburton and let him attack on his own. But Haliburton passed the ball back anyway. Including Embiid was also deliberately blocking Haliburton, wanting Haliburton to shoot by himself, but when Haliburton burst to the halfway point, he saw Embiid appear vacant and immediately passed back to Embiid. It looks like Haliburton's passing instinct will be evident as soon as he sees a team-mate in the open space. Overall, Haliburton's style of play looks like passing comes first.

The same is true in the NBA. Although Haliburton was the absolute leader of the team when he played for the Pacers, he averaged very few shots per game. Whether it's the regular season or the playoffs, Haliburton doesn't like to attack, preferring to indulge in the joy of passing. So the team's number one attacker became Siakam.

In fact, Haliburton has strong offensive ability, including his three-point shooting ability. It's just that in his basketball philosophy, passing seems to come first, which is also a point guard's obsession. Haliburton is more of that kind of traditional point guard, and he has the passing in his blood.

Of course, many fans still believe that if the Pacers want to go further in the playoffs in the future, Haliburton must improve his offensive aggressiveness. It will also become easier to pass the ball when you have an attack, otherwise the opponent will just think that you will get used to passing and give up on your defense, which will affect the team's overall attacking system. I wonder what the fans think?
