In the first game of the Olympic men's basketball group stage, South Sudan defeated Puerto Rico 90-79
Before the games, the Paris Olympic stadium also played the wrong national anthem of South Sudan (it was the Sudanese national anthem)!
This time the Paris Olympics is really in trouble......
The opening ceremony called South Korea North Korea and mistook the Korea flag.
On the report sheet, the Chinese flag is placed behind the Korea athletes
Argentina swimmers appear with the Chinese flag behind them.
However, although the South Sudanese athletes were angry that the national anthem was misplaced, it did not affect the mood of the game and still won the game.
Full Match ......
Crick Jones played 36 minutes and finished with 19 points, seven rebounds and six assists on 7-of-15 shooting
Nuni Amott played 27 minutes, shooting 4-of-15 from the field and finishing with 12 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists
Shayok played 23 minutes, shooting 5-of-10 from the field and finishing with 15 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist
Pete Chock played 21 minutes, shooting 4-of-6 from the field and finishing with 11 points and six boards
Gabriel played 21 minutes, shooting 3-of-7 from the field and finishing with six points, nine rebounds and two assists
Bull Kuhl played 21 minutes, shooting 5-of-8 and finishing with 12 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists
Many of these players have been granted the citizenship of other countries as refugees to escape the war, some are United States, some are Canada, and some are Australia......
Then, after forming a basketball team in South Sudan, he chose to return to South Sudan to play for the national team.
This is the first time the South Sudan men's basketball team has participated in the Olympics, so it was also their first Olympic victory.
Of the 12 teams that qualified for the Olympics, France and South Sudan were the most evenly black.
You really can't underestimate the South Sudan men's basketball team!
South Sudan almost beat United States in the warm-up game.
South Sudan and United States are in the same group, and the next match of the United States team is against South Sudan.
You say, is there a chance in South Sudan? They were the team that lost the least in the warm-up match against the United States.
South Sudan's men's basketball team is not easy to establish.
You must know that the total number of athletes participating in the Olympics in South Sudan this time is only 14, and the men's basketball team accounts for 12.
In addition to basketball, South Sudan also has two track and field athletes competing with wild cards.
This is the largest number of South Sudan's Olympic squads since independence, and it is all thanks to the 12 men's basketball players, and their men's basketball team has directly qualified for the World Cup by themselves.
And the South Sudan men's basketball team can not get to where it is today, without the support of one person!
Rohr Deng!
Former United Kingdom NBA player, now Rahr Deng is actually a United Kingdom citizen, naturalized United Kingdom in 2006, and also represented United Kingdom at the London Olympics in 2012.
But in supporting the development of basketball in South Sudan, Rohr Deng really spares no effort.
Born in Wau, Sudan (now South Sudan), Rohrdeng also took refuge in Egypt and eventually settled in United Kingdom.
South Sudan was founded in 2011, and after Rohrdeng announced his retirement in 2019, he has been fully involved in the development of the South Sudan men's basketball team.
In 2020, Rohrdeng became the president of the South Sudan Basketball Association and also served as the head coach of the South Sudan men's basketball team (only for one cycle).
The current head coach of the South Sudanese men's basketball team, Royale Ivey, recently gave an interview and highly praised Roldeng, saying that it is Roldeng's who has been contributing money to South Sudan's basketball program.
"We don't have gymnasiums, dormitories and other related facilities," Ivey said. Luo Erdeng has been funding the project out of his own pocket for 4 years, and he has paid for everything from the gym, hotel, airfare, etc. Thank you to Rohr Deng and the staff. Without them, we couldn't have formed this team. ”
From this point of view, the tens of millions that the Lakers gave in vain back then were not in vain, and the money was indirectly spent meaningfully.
Luo Er Deng signed a four-year 72 million contract with the Lakers in 2016 (which was already a big contract in those years)
As a result, Rolldden retired in 2019, but until the 2021-22 season, he was able to lead a $5 million buyout fee from the Lakers every year (the Lakers chose to buy Rolldden in 2018, and the buyout fee was paid over five years). )
So, is Rohrdeng using these $5 million one after another to raise the South Sudan men's basketball team?
I'm looking forward to the next game against United States, I think it's a South Sudanese fan.
