U.S. Women Claim Stop 1 Title in Opening Day of 2023 U21 Nations League Asia-Pacific Conference Play - USA Basketball
The USA Basketball 3x3 U21 Nations League Teams completed the first stop in the 2023 FIBA 3x3 U21 Nations League Asia-Pacific conference on Friday.

It’s a grueling schedule, they’re switching it up to give players a rest. She played in the second game and lit it up.

The US vs Chile game starts around the 2:20 mark. She hit a bunch of threes (twos actually in 3x3) and made some good passes. If I understand the scoring correctly, FGs are 1 and 2 from behind the arch, so the long shots are considerably more valuable..

Totals for STOP 4
Maly 19 pts
Dalce 16 pts
Braun 13 pts
Sellers 11 pts
Seems like a balanced group that is winning often. Has to be a major boost for Braun's confidence and leadership when playing for the Gophers. Awesome experience and opportunity. Fun!

Dang!!!! She looks amazing in these clips!! That's exciting!!!!
She looks good. Nice to see her scoring inside. Last season she didn't as sharp going in for scores as she did on the perimeter, maybe the size of Big Ten players inside. Her perimeter shooting is pure gold.
More Stop 4 info: "The first game of the stop saw the U.S. handily defeat Chile, 21-7. The U.S. held a 7-4 lead halfway through the game but really separated themselves thanks to a 14-3 scoring run. The match was played in 8:06, which was the quickest of any game on the stop."
So when we hear three games in one day I'm comparing it to AAU but it's not like that.
The game above was over in 8 minutes...would suck to psyche up for a game and lose in 8 minutes...just sayin'
So they play to 21 or until whatever the score when the clock runs out? Amirite?
Anybody know what the clock time is? 15 minutes?

Couple of observations from the clips. I may be mistaken, but it seems like she's getting her shots from the perimeter off much more quickly than she did during the season last year. Quicker release, as long as it's technically sound, means it's tougher to defend.
As far as driving to the basket; certainly easier, if you've established that you can hit the long shots, to beat your primary defender trying to close out. I wonder if the 3 on 3 format helps, in that there is less of an opportunity for defensive help from one or more bigs in the paint to discourage a good shot as opposed to 5 on 5, where defensive rotation schemes plan for the other 4 players rotating to cover everybody when when primary defender gets beat to the hole.

USA Women Qualify for FIBA 3x3 U23 Nations League Final After Finishing Atop the 3x3 U21 Nations League Asia-Pacific Conference - USA Basketball

After six days of competition at the 2023 FIBA 3x3 U21 Nations League Asia-Pacific, the USA women finished atop the conference and earned a berth into the 2023 FIBA U23 Nations League Final. The women won five of the six stops in Handan, China, including the sixth and final stop on Thursday.

— USA Basketball 3x3 (@usab3x3) June 29, 2023
The 3x3 U23 Nations League Final is scheduled for Sept. 13-15 in Mongolia. The USA’s five stop titles, and one second place finish, earned them 580 tour points and the bid to the Final. Final standings from the 3x3 U21 Nations League can be found here.
The women, once again, powered their way to the stop 6 final with victories over China and Japan.
The only pool play game of the day was against Japan. The U.S. claimed a 21-16 victory and led wire-to-wire. The team had a balanced scoring effort with everyone scoring multiple times and three finishing with five-plus points. Morgan Maly led the way with eight points.
Much like the USA did against China in the stop 5 final, the team used stifling defense and an early scoring run to take the stop 6 title, 17-11. The contest opened with a China 2-pointer but a 17-4 run from the Americans sealed the game. The USA owned a 12-point lead with 2:41 left to play, their largest lead in a stop final this week.
