澳大利亞悉尼——加拿大男子籃球教練尼克·納斯表示，在周一以84-68不敵美國隊的慘痛失利結(jié)束了世界杯的準備工作后，他的球隊需要“刷新”最后一場表演賽。Kyle Wiltjer拿下21分，奧蘭多魔術(shù)隊前鋒Khem Birch——加拿大唯一參加比賽的NBA球員——為加拿大隊拿下13分和6個籃板，而在國際籃聯(lián)世界杯前的最后一場比賽中，加拿大隊的表現(xiàn)完全超過了NBA。

護士說:“你不是每天晚上都打得很好。”“他們會沒事的。我們只要把這個沖洗掉，然后繼續(xù)我們的工作。”加拿大人的投籃命中率只有35%，三分命中率為23投6中(26%)。

杰倫·布朗拿下19分，以55-37的比分領(lǐng)先美國隊。上周膝蓋受傷的安德魯·恩布哈德(Andrew Nembhard)和卡扎·卡賈米-基恩(Kaza Kajami-Keane，腳踝受傷)都回到了加拿大，而姍姍來的加拿大人布拉迪·赫斯基普(Brady Heslip)在澳大利亞打了他的第一場比賽。

但是加拿大隊缺少了Oshae Brissett，他因為受傷缺席了比賽。

加拿大隊在進攻端表現(xiàn)得很糟糕，上半場投籃27%，第一節(jié)結(jié)束后以20-9落后，半場結(jié)束時以46-31落后。加拿大人在第三節(jié)落后多達20分，在Qudos Bank Arena球場15155名觀眾的見證下，以64-47的比分一瘸一拐地進入第四節(jié)。

美國人在第四節(jié)將比分擴大到24分。加拿大隊以7-0的比分結(jié)束了比賽，其中包括貝斯特和威爾特杰的三分球，這使得比分更加令人尊敬。

“我們必須加快學(xué)習(xí)的速度，”布朗談到美國隊時說。上周六，美國隊出人意料地以98-94不敵澳大利亞隊?！拔覀冇泻艽蟮脑鲩L空間。當(dāng)他們聚在一起的時候，一切都會很好，對他們來說，前途無量?！?/ p>

在世界杯前的比賽中，加拿大隊以4-3的比分結(jié)束了與澳大利亞和尼日利亞的兩場比賽，并兩次擊敗新西蘭。

威爾杰說:“我們有很多工作要做，但是我們在這里過得很愉快?！皠e忘了這些都是練習(xí)賽?！?/ p>

加拿大和美國都缺少了大部分的NBA球星，盡管美國是唯一一支擁有完整NBA球員陣容的球隊。

加拿大沒有安德魯·威金斯，賈馬爾·默里，R.J.巴雷特，特里斯坦·湯普森，德懷特·鮑威爾，沙伊·吉爾吉-亞歷山大，克里斯·鮑徹和尼克伊爾·亞歷山大-沃克等人。邁阿密熱隊前鋒凱利·奧利尼克在對尼日利亞的首場表演賽中膝蓋受傷，將缺席世界杯。薩克拉門托國王隊后衛(wèi)科里·約瑟夫沒有去澳大利亞，但他有望加入加拿大隊在中國的比賽。

周日，在東莞舉行的世界杯開幕儀式上，加拿大隊以20分的優(yōu)勢擊敗了澳大利亞嬰兒潮隊。他們的H組還包括立陶宛和塞內(nèi)加爾。

護士越來越的全部旅游今年世界的另一邊。加拿大人已經(jīng)在澳大利亞呆了一周左右，現(xiàn)在正前往中國觀看世界杯。然后，世界冠軍猛龍隊將于10月8日和10月10日在日本與休斯頓進行季前賽。

USA routs Canada in final World Cup tune-up

原文：

SYDNEY, Australia — Canada men's basketball coach Nick Nurse says his team needs to "flush" its last exhibition performance after ending World Cup preparations with an ugly 84-68 loss to the United States on Monday.

Kyle Wiltjer had 21 points, while Orlando Magic forward Khem Birch — Canada's lone NBA player in the game — had 13 points and six rebounds for a Canadian team that was otherwise completely outclassed in its last game on its pre-FIBA World Cup exhibition schedule.

"You don't play great every night," Nurse said. "They'll be fine. We just flush this one away and get back to what we're doing."

The Canadians shot just 35 per cent from the field and 6-for-23 (26 per cent) from three-point range.

Jaylen Brown had 19 points to top the Americans, who outrebounded Canada 55-37.

Andrew Nembhard, who injured his knee last week, and Kaza Kajami-Keane (ankle) both returned for Canada, while Brady Heslip, a late arrival for the Canadians, played his first game in Australia.

But Canada was missing Oshae Brissett, who sat out the game with an injury.

Canada struggled mightily on the offensive end, shooting 27 per cent from the field in the first half to trail 20-9 after one quarter, and 46-31 at halftime.

The Canadians trailed by as many as 20 points in the third quarter and limped into the fourth down 64-47 in front of a crowd of 15,155 at Qudos Bank Arena.

The Americans stretched their lead to 24 points in the fourth. Canada finished the game with a 7-0 run — including three-pointers from Aaron Best and Wiltjer — to make the score a bit more respectable.

"We have to speed up that learning curve," Brown said of the Americans, who were coming off a surprising 98-94 loss to host Australia on Saturday. "We have a lot of room for growth. It's going to be good when it comes together, the sky is the limit for this group."

Canada finished 4-3 in pre-World Cup action, splitting a pair of games with Australia and Nigeria, and beating New Zealand twice.

"We've got a lot of work to do, but we've enjoyed our time here," Wiltjer said. "Let's not forget these are practice games."

Both Canada and the U.S. are missing most of their NBA stars, although the U.S. is the only team that heads to the World Cup with a full roster of NBA players.

Canada is without Andrew Wiggins, Jamal Murray, R.J. Barrett, Tristan Thompson, Dwight Powell, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Chris Boucher and Nickeil Alexander-Walker, among others. Miami Heat forward Kelly Olynyk suffered a bone bruise in his knee in the first exhibition game against Nigeria and will skip the World Cup. Sacramento Kings guard Cory Joseph didn't travel to Australia but is expected to join the Canadian team in China.

The Canadians open the World Cup on Sunday against the Australian Boomers, a team they beat by 20 points during this exhibition run, in Dongguan. Their tough Group H also includes Lithuania and Senegal.

Nurse is getting the full tour of the other side of the world this year. The Canadians have been in Australia for a week or so, and now head to China for the World Cup. Then, Nurse will be in Japan when the world champion Raptors play pre-season games against Houston on Oct. 8 and Oct. 10.
