RIO DE JANEIRO -- Go get him!Tom Thibodeaus booming, baritone voice knifed through the air inside sold out Carioca Arena on Saturday as the U. Nike Air Max 98 Og 2018 .S. team dropped back to play defense early in its Olympic tournament opener against China.Stay home! he barked. Back, back! Get up! By yourself!Thibodeau didnt stop, and his commands could even be heard by fans sitting in top rows of the upper deck.From the opening tip to the final horn in the 119-62 blowout, Thibodeau, a hard-driving, hoops lifer who prides himself on teaching the old-school way, screamed instructions at the American players. They have quickly learned that their Team USA assistant coach -- and the new head man with the Minnesota Timberwolves -- is demanding when it comes to defense.Im used to Thibs, man, U.S. center Demarcus Cousins said with a laugh. Thats Thibs in walkthrough, so were used to it.And the rest of the world better get used to this U.S. team playing lock-down defense. Armed with unmatched offensive firepower, the Americans, seeking their third straight gold medal, are creating an identity with their backs to the basket.We get after it on that side of the ball, said forward Draymond Green.They got after China from the outset. Warriors forward Klay Thompson, one of the games elite perimeter defenders, made a steal on Chinas first possession and the U.S. finished with 15 steals, forced 24 turnovers and held China to 30 percent shooting.With another roster of NBA stars, there is a continuous red-white-and-blue wave of players flooding in from coach Mike Krzyzewskis bench. When the U.S. starters needed a break against China, Krzyzewski sent in a fresh group and Thibodeau made sure they knew what they were doing defensively from the moment they stepped on the floor.From his seat next to Coach Ks, Thibodeau pointed like a traffic cop at a busy intersection, and of course, made certain his demands were heard.Thibs is going to lose his voice by the time this is over with, four-time Olympian Carmelo Anthony said. I think everybody in the world can hear Thibs on the sideline. Its motivation for us, to know that we have somebody on the sideline thats in tune to it. Hes pushing us and hes keeping us uplifted.The U.S. plays its next game on Monday against Venezuela, a team it beat by 35 last week despite a poor shooting performance.Thibodeau, fired last year by the Chicago Bulls after five solid seasons and hired to help toughen the T-Wolves in May, is relishing his role as the U.S. squads minister of defense. This is what he lives for, and the chance to mesh a group this talented to play team defense is as good as it gets.And its already apparent that Thibodeaus message has gotten across as the U.S. players, some of whom are not exactly known for their defensive skills, are being more vocal on the floor. During the win over China, the Americans were calling out screens, switching and looking to help each other whenever possible. Theyve clearly bought in.During the first quarter against China, Cleveland point guard Kyrie Irving poked the ball away before diving headfirst on the floor trying to come up with the steal. As he laid face down, Thibodeau clapped in approval.Floor burns are a badge of honor to Thibodeau, who feels the U.S. team is embracing his principles.The strength is our versatility, he said. We have 12 guys who play hard and play for each other and they are committed to doing that. It started the first day and theres no let up so when we go to our bench theres is no drop off. Every one of these guys is a great player and is s starter, so when we sub that pressure is going to remain and were going to keep coming for 40 minutes.Kevin Durant, who along with Anthony is the only returning player from the 2012 London team, said he and his teammates know that when the shots arent falling, they can always fall back on their defense.Defensively, were pretty good, he said. When we put Draymond out there and just start switching everything, that makes us even better and then we got two guys that are different rim protectors in Marcus, who takes charges and covers the paint, and DJ (DeAndre Jordan) who blocks shots at the rim. We just got every area covered. And we got long defenders on the wing and great point guards that use their hands, so we got to continue to lean on that.Thibodeau will make sure of it. Air Max 98 Gym Red . Datsyuk will miss Tuesdays game against New Jersey and could be sidelined longer, while Cleary will likely miss at least the next three games. Its been an injury-plagued season for Datsyuk, who has suited up for just 39 games. Air Max 93 Dusty Cactus . Manuel was offered a position the day he was fired. He accepted earlier this week and the team made the announcement Friday. http://www.airmax98gundam.com/ .C. Lions has come to an end. Banks told TSN on Jan 2 that he had no interest in playing out the option year of his contract with the Lions in 2014, and he again made that clear in a conversation with Lions GM Wally Buono last week. There was a rare moment of unity in the boxing business at the end of Saturdays fight in Las Vegas when all three judges agreed on the score and both boxers demanded a rematch.Andre Ward won three light-heavyweight world title belts from Sergey Krusher Kovalev, but in his long battle for the hearts and pockets of boxing fans it is probably still a close fight. Ward is brilliant, a master in the boxing arts and has never received the respect his skills demand from the boxing public. He is not always slick on the eye, seldom gets a knockout in big fights and is just too darned nice.Ward survived a clean knockdown in round two when Kovalev found a rare hole in the Californian boxers brilliant defence; Ward went down heavy, smiled and jumped up quick. I smiled to say, OK, now the fight can start, said Ward.It was a fight of two very separate parts, seemingly divided equally between the two boxers; Kovalev won the first half and Ward the last six rounds. At the end the three identical scores of 114-113 were in Wards favour, he had swept rounds seven through twelve.Kovalev was desolate: I lost maybe three rounds. I want the rematch. Ward maintained his calm, his battered face a bruised accompaniment to his low-key victory speech: I had to get dirty to win and I did. I would have a rematch, sure.It is rare in a fight that divides ringside and television opinion for the judges to totally agree. It is odd, given the fact that only one point separated the pair, that people are screaming and hollering about a robbery. It was close, hard and Ward probably just deserved it. Kovalev certainly faded after six, a victim of the pace he set, Wards wrestling and possibly the years of shrinking his big body into the light-heavyweight limmit have now become a real drain. Comme Des Garcon Nike Air Max 180. Ward was in trouble in the first, down in the second and struggling in the first half of the fight. It has been a long time since Ward had a test in front of him, a long time since he dominated at super-middleweight with masterclasses against the divisions best Carl Froch, Mikkel Kessler and Arthur Abraham. He has been inactive, unimpressive and should have probably taken a hard warm-up instead of Kovalev, who had made the light-heavyweight division his personal playground since 2013.Kovalev and his promoter, Kathy Duva, went long into the night moaning about the mix of judges, the referee, some undisclosed issues Kovalev had, Wards holding. It was a familiar worn list from the lips of most first-time losers; if one of the judges had scored it wide in Wards favour their claims would have some validity. A rematch makes sense.Ward and Virgil Hunter, the man who has guided him for decades, praised the right people, complimented the deserving and slipped away. Ward made no bold claims about how clearly he had won the struggle. Its professional boxing, its not always going to be cute. I got up off the canvas and won ugly, said Ward. A rematch will mean big money, even more than the five million Ward was paid. Kovalev walked away with two million dollars. Both their reputations improved.They will probably do it again and when it happens Ward will be in better fight condition and Kovalev will know not to slip into Wards clutches. If they are both going to be better, it makes their second fight a genuine modern classic. It will still be tight, trust me.
