The United States was now 2-0 in the Worlds so the atmosphere was amazingly crazy when trying to get to the interview table. Sitting in the chairs ready for interviews was Irwin "Sure Win" Velasco and Ricardo "The Rocket" Madrid.
SpF: Velasco! Wow is all I can say! You played great out there for your first game this NT season!
Velasco: Thanks! I mean I don't know what was going on tonight.. 12-13 shooting! I just could not miss
SpF: Yeah you were making it rain out there from all over, 2-2 from deep range, got a few free throws and a balanced stat line with 5 rebounds and 5 assist.
Velsaco: Great game.. I'm glad that I got called up and performed! I also payed off my debt to Rambo so this was just overall a great day!
SpF: Good to hear Irwin! What are your thoughts on the rest of the World's tourney?
Velasco: Well with all of us playing some great basketball were going to be hard to beat especially if I now DECLARE i'm averaging 30 points 5 rebounds and 5 assist a game
SpF: Umm wow Velasco.. that's a lot on the plate.. do you really think you could pull that off?
Velasco: Yeah I'm Irwin Velasco! Am I right everybody?
Crowd: *Crickets*
SpF: Well once again great game Velasco, I look forward to talking to you again!
SpF: Ricardo! Ricardo! Nice job out there tonight!
Madrid: Why thank you SpF!
SpF: What are your thoughts on your game tonight?
Madrid: I had an ok game, but with everybody else we pulled out the upset, improve to 2-0, and have even more momentum heading into next weeks game!
SpF: That's what I like to hear! So have you settled on "The Rocket" being your nickname?
Madrid: I think it's a temporary nickname.. I'm still experimenting, how about:
- Ricardo "The Matrix" Madrid?
- Ricardo "Here We Go" Madrid?
- Ricardo "SureShot" Madrid?
- Ricardo "I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of American and to the..."
SpF: Alright Alright Madrid.. those are all great nicknames and I hope you the best of luck picking the right one!
Madrid: Thanks SpF!
On my way to find NT Head coach Jfarb, I ran into a man who resembled Dirk Nowitzki.
SpF: Wow... Wozz.. what's up?
Dirk: No I'm Dirk Nowitzki! Just came home to my country to see this great American team that was built around the great Wozz tenure as coach, after I just beat The Thunder in game 4, I could make it over here!
SpF: Well Dirk.. you're from Germany not Poland
Dirk: *Awkward silence* Yes I knew this, I was just pulling your leg!
Jairo: *Jairo walks by* Wozz you look like Dirk!
Dirk: Jairo I am Wozz not Dirk
*Awkward Silence*
Dirk: I mean I'm Dirk not Wozz!
Coach Jfarb statement: "I won!!!! *jfarb throws $ in the air* (Willis Lundy is seen picking it up) ....I mean we won, we won...the game. Happy to be 2-0 and playing well in the Worlds. I told Velasco if we won and he played well that I'd pay off his debt to Rambo, so I think that motivated him. Late in the 4th Canada made a run, and instead of not panicking, I decided to change things up and do the opposite, so I panicked and put Bronson in at PF. Worked like a charm. Morocco next, can't wait to see what the line on the game is...I mean what time the game is."
The USA is now 2-0 in the Worlds, we pick up momentum on our championship run but the battle is not over! Join the offsite forum and and in the discussion for next week's game against Morocco!
