(AP) – El equipo ol\u00edmpico de baloncesto masculino de Estados Unidos ha estado unido durante dos semanas. Ha habido seis pr\u00e1cticas. El equipo jug\u00f3 cuatro exhibiciones. Ya se han requerido un par de cambios en la lista y los estadounidenses no tienen idea de cu\u00e1ndo otros tres jugadores se unir\u00e1n al equipo por primera vez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Si eso no fuera suficiente, poco antes de la fecha programada para volar el lunes, descubrieron que Zach LaVine hab\u00eda entrado en los protocolos de salud y seguridad y no los acompa\u00f1ar\u00eda en el vuelo a Tokio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Probablemente toda esa no sea la f\u00f3rmula para el \u00e9xito ol\u00edmpico, pero listo o no, Tokio espera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00abEs un poco diferente\u00bb, dijo el entrenador de Estados Unidos, Gregg Popovich.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No, es muy diferente. Sin precedentes, realmente, como casi todo lo dem\u00e1s sobre estos Juegos Ol\u00edmpicos de Tokio que comienzan el viernes. Estados Unidos, tres veces medallista de oro en baloncesto masculino defensor, part\u00eda de Las Vegas el lunes para viajar a Jap\u00f3n, donde comenzar\u00e1n los preparativos finales para el inicio de los Juegos de Tokio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El plan es tener cuatro pr\u00e1cticas m\u00e1s en Jap\u00f3n antes de abrir el juego ol\u00edmpico contra Francia el 25 de julio. Los estadounidenses tienen 12 nombres en la lista; s\u00f3lo ocho estar\u00e1n con el equipo para el viaje a Jap\u00f3n porque tres, Khris Middleton, Jrue Holiday y Devin Booker, todav\u00eda est\u00e1n jugando en las Finales de la NBA y LaVine est\u00e1 en los protocolos. Hay esperanzas de que LaVine pueda unirse al equipo en alg\u00fan momento en un futuro no muy lejano, pero no estaba autorizado para el vuelo del lunes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00abCreo que todos somos mejores para la adversidad que atravesamos, porque o la manejas o no\u00bb, dijo Popovich. \u00abTe diste cuenta. Y estos tipos han tenido que hacer eso. Han mantenido la cabeza en alto. Puede haber una decepci\u00f3n aqu\u00ed o all\u00e1, o un evento que se lleva a cabo, pero siguen adelante. Y de eso se trata la vida. Entonces, esto no es diferente \u00ab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(AP)<\/strong>\u00a0\u2014 The U.S. Olympic men\u2019s basketball team has been together for two weeks. There have been six practices. The team played four exhibitions. A pair of roster changes have already been required and the Americans have no idea when three other players will join the team for the first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If that wasn\u2019t enough, shortly before they were scheduled to fly on Monday, they found out Zach LaVine<\/a>has entered the health and safety protocols and wouldn\u2019t be accompanying them on the flight to Tokyo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All that probably isn\u2019t the formula for Olympic success, but ready or not, Tokyo awaits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a little bit different,\u201d U.S. coach Gregg Popovich said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No, it\u2019s a lot different. Unprecedented, really, just like almost everything else about these Tokyo Olympics that start on Friday. The U.S. \u2014 the three-time defending men\u2019s basketball gold medalist \u2014 was leaving Las Vegas on Monday for the trip to Japan, where it\u2019ll commence final preparations for the start of the Tokyo Games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The plan is to have four more practices in Japan before opening Olympic play against France on July 25. The Americans have 12 names on the roster; only eight will be with the team for the trip to Japan because three \u2014 Khris Middleton, Jrue Holiday and Devin Booker \u2014 are still playing in the NBA Finals and LaVine is in the protocols. There is hope that LaVine will be able to join the team at some point in the not-too-distant future, but he wasn\u2019t cleared for Monday\u2019s flight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think all of us are better for the adversity we go through, because you either handle it or you don\u2019t,\u201d Popovich said. \u201cYou figure it out. And these guys have had to do that. They\u2019ve kept their heads up. There might be a disappointment here or there, or an event that takes place, but they move on. And that\u2019s what life\u2019s all about. So, this is no different.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
