| RIO DE JANEIRO -- The U.S. womens basketball teams dominating performances at the Olympics over the past two decades isnt the result of simply having the best players in the world.Of course that helps, and continuity plays a major part. But dont discount the players being well versed in the rules and nuances of international basketball. Diana Taurasi and most of her U.S. teammates spend their offseason playing overseas because of the financial incentives.Most of the Olympic players are either teammates of the American players or opponents in leagues around the world -- including Russia, Turkey, France or China.The U.S. mens basketball team, which has won 50 straight international tournament games, is still adjusting to the different style of play in Rio. There are 10 first-time Olympians on that squad, which has been challenged in the tournament.We talk about it all the time. Last night I was talking to Kyrie (Irving) and Kyle (Lowry), talked to Draymond (Green). Its a different type of basketball, Taurasi said. Until you play it, or experience it, you dont understand it. The more games the guys have played, I thought theyve felt more comfortable in each scenario. Everythings way different. Ive been lucky to play overseas for 12 years so I understand it a little bit better.Taurasi wasnt surprised at Serbia point guard Milos Teodosics success against the U.S. mens team in pool play, when he had 18 points and six assists in a 94-91 loss.Ive been watching him play for 10 years and hes one of my favorite players and no ones ever heard of him, Taurasi said. Hes an unbelievable basketball player. Im sure they didnt hear of him. We have the luxury to play against all the Serbians, the French, the Aussies, the Spanish, the Chinese. We played against them for 10 years now. We have that comfort level.The U.S. women certainly have looked comfortable over the past 20 years in the Olympics. The Americans have won 46 Olympic contests in a row with only one game being decided by single digits. The men are also 5-0, but won each of their last two games by three points.Its slower. Teams try to slow the game down, Kevin Durant said of one of the many differences between the NBA and international play. They have a lot of continuity in their sets. Defensively they can sit in the paint, so its different. The floor is a little tighter, but we got a lot of shooters, and we just try to find our rhythm on the offensive end. But, defensively, we got to do a better job of talking to each other.Ten of the 12 U.S. women players have spent a few seasons playing abroad, with only Breanna Stewart and Elena Delle Donne lacking the international experience. Stewart will play in China this offseason.I do feel like its a different game overseas, said Tamika Catchings, who has spent time playing in Russia, Turkey and South Korea. You play USA Basketball and you go over there maybe, but its a different animal when youre in that country and playing.A lot of the guys may not have played with the USA junior level. When you play on this elite level, definitely every country wants to beat us. Theyre training every single day knowing their goal is to beat the U.S. team to win the gold.The U.S. men will learn Monday night who they will play in quarterfinals on Wednesday.The women begin quarterfinal play on Tuesday against Japan, the team in Rio the Americans know the least about. Japans top player, Ramu Tokashiki, plays on WNBA Seattle Storm along with Stewart and Sue Bird.Geno Auriemma has been impressed with how Japan has competed.I dont think theres another team in the world that plays the way they do, the U.S. coach said. Play as quickly as they do, as crisp together as they play and do as many things as Japan does, I think they are unique in the world in that respect.---Online:AP Summer Games website: http://summergames.ap.org/---Follow Doug on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/dougfeinberg Discount Cavaliers Jerseys . Andreas Johnson had a goal and two assists while Jacob de la Rose also scored for Sweden (2-0-0). Esa Lindell and Rasmus Ristolainen replied for Finland (1-1-0) Lindell opened the scoring for Finland just 41 seconds into the game, but the hosts quickly regained their composure and tied the score less than four minutes later on Wennbergs first of the game. Collin Sexton Jersey . Takahashi, who had a 10-point lead after the short program, received 268.31 points after the free skate to finish 15 points ahead of second-place Nobunari Oda. http://www.cheapcavaliersjerseys.us/ . Barcelonas entertaining victory ensured the defending Spanish champions retained their share of the league lead with Atletico Madrid two rounds ahead of their meeting in the capital. Real Madrid needed a late goal by substitute Jese Rodriguez to earn a 3-2 victory at Valencia to stay in third place and three points behind its title rivals. Cheap Nike Cavaliers Jerseys . Brett Kulak and Jackson Houck of the Vancouver Giants were each charged with assault causing bodily harm on Aug. 18, according to the B.C. court services. Cheap Cleveland Cavaliers Jerseys . Toronto has dropped games to Indiana and Miami since a five-game winning streak and closed out a three-game road trip at 1-2. DENVER -- In the end,?Trevor Siemian didnt throw for 180 yards in his first NFL start, he did throw two interceptions, and it wasnt always a smooth ride on the learning curve.But the?24-year-old never lost his composure and showed why Broncos coach Gary Kubiak picked him as?Peyton Mannings replacement in a tense 21-20 victory over the Carolina Panthers?on Thursday night.Sure, theres butterflies every time you play, Siemian said. I think something is wrong with you if you dont. Im just super confident in the group of guys we have offensively. There are a lot of vets and a lot of great leadership in that group that I can lean on, and Im just really confident in those guys.Siemian, whose NFL résumé coming into the game had been just one regular-season play, a kneel-down against the Pittsburgh Steelers in December, finished 18-of-26 passing for 178 yards with a touchdown and the two interceptions.But Siemian was composed in big moments, putting together two touchdown drives in the second half as the Broncos became the first Super Bowl winner to trail by at least eight points in the next seasons opener before coming back for the win.The Broncos rushed for 148 yards in the game and had a close-to-even split in the play-calling with Siemians 26 pass attempts to go with their 29 rushing attempts.I thought Trevor handled his end of the bargain well, Kubiak said.The Broncos opened the game with an apparent case of nerves around their new quarterback. They had taken their opening drive to the Panthers 29-yard line when rookie Devontae Booker fumbled. Siemians first interception ended the Broncos second drive at the Panthers 25-yard line.On that play, Siemians throw was swatted by Panthers defensive tackle Star Lotulelei before being intercepted by linebacker Thomas Davis.The Panthers had a 17-7 lead at halftime, andd Siemian was picked off again in the Broncos first possession in the third quarter when, in the face of a blitz, he couldnt step into the throw.ddddddddddddWide receiver Emmanuel Sanders was open inside the Panthers 10-yard line, but the pass was underthrown and intercepted by Panthers cornerback Bene Benwikere.Kubiak said Siemian was never rattled after all of that.Nah, he wasnt, Kubiak said. And actually the second interception, it really wasnt his fault ... and in fairness to the kid we should have picked [the blitz] up and he should have been able to step and throw. We didnt get that done.Siemian then showed what likely won him the job in the first place, at least in addition to a power arm. Its his composure and ability to rebound from trouble.After his second interception and a rather ugly three-and-out, Siemian led two touchdown drives. The first of those scores came when Siemian stared down the Panthers pressure and tossed a screen pass to running back C.J. Anderson, who?took it 25 yards for a score that made it 17-14.There was pressure, and I knew I had to get it to C.J., somehow, some way, and it would be a big play, Siemian said. He made a couple moves, had a heck of a run and got it in there. ... I knew it was a big play if I could get it to him. Somehow, some way, get it to C.J. and hell take care of it.Said Kubiak: That was a great job. ... But Trevor really did an amazing job of pulling the rush in and getting the ball off ... just really good by kind of handling the situation.Anderson scored on a 1-yard run to close out the Broncos next possession and put Denver in position for the comeback win.Weve got a resilient team, and you saw that tonight, Siemian said.
