Game Recap
The media is reporting at least 500,000 people packed into the arena to watch the highly anticipated matchup of the United States vs the Czech Republic. Tensions were running high between the two national teams, as US guard "In"Zane Ritter posted on Twitter earlier in the week, "On Mnday we r gonna send the Czchs back to Amsterdam or wherever the hell they r from. #Suckmyballs."
The Czechs didn't take to it kindly as CR Power Forward Radek Vogel responded, "Typical ignorant American. Prepare to get dunked on. #Nothanks."
The game began with the Czechs firing on all cylinders. Vogel quickly lived up to his word, throwing down a putback dunk in the face of USA Center Lorenzo Bland early in the first quarter to help the Republic jump out to an early 9-2 lead. US manager Coco was seen spiking the gatorade with an unknown substance during a timeout, and before you knew it the US was back in the game, leading 24-21 at the end of the 1st quarter.
Unfortunately the performance enhancement boost only lasted for a short time, as Czech Power Forward Radoslav Urbanek powered the Czechs to a 51-46 halftime lead.
At halftime Coco searched for Rambo to make a halftime speech, but could only find wozzvt.
"Look guys, as you can see from this data," Wozz told the players in the lockerroom, "they are scoring 82% of their points on assisted drives and inside shots! If you increase your shotblocking by a factor of 3, there is a 70% probability that we shall prevail!"
Suffice to say no one was inspired. Despite this the US NT battled back in the 3rd quarter, led by USA Small Forward Nemesio "The Nemesis" Xermade. When the 4th quarter began the game was tied. It wasn't until this point that anyone realized that USA superstar point guard and notorious kleptomaniac Jamie Nix was missing. Assuming he was in jail, Coco asked brian to go post bail and get him to the arena ASAP.
Before Jamie could make it to the game, the Czech Republic had built a small lead. "In"Zane Ritter found Center David Ferland for an open jumper to make it 90-88, but the US failed to come any closer. Pointless fouling in the final seconds of the game made the final score 102-92, Czech Republic. Alton Johnson led the US with 19 points and 6 rebounds, while the Czechs recieved 20 points and 8 rebounds from Radek Vogel.
After the game Coco spoke to the media, "It's the refs fault. They wouldn't talk to me. They kept calling fouls on us when we fouled people. They wouldn't accept my bribes. They told me the American dollar is worthless now. I guess now we just have to regroup and get ready for China."
