加拿大在FIBA热身赛中击败澳大利亚队

澳大利亚珀斯 - 周五在加拿大国际篮联世界杯热身篮球比赛中以90-70击败主场，加拿大队从未落后并以23-13击败澳大利亚队。

加拿大人队（今年夏天参加比赛的比赛为2-1）在第三节早些时候以51-36领先，但澳大利亚队在决赛中占据优势之前就已经取得了平局。星期六晚上，球队在珀斯的同一个体育场再次相遇。

“当我们能够出场并打出那样具有攻击性并且击倒像这样的投篮时，对于像澳大利亚这样的强硬球队来说这很棒，”加拿大后卫Kevin Pangos说道，他以7分领先全队18分10次​​射击。 “我们只是继续并继续成长为一个团队。”

澳大利亚队将于9月1日在中国首次参加世界杯比赛。

加拿大没有大多数NBA球星参加世界杯。迈阿密热火队的凯利奥利尼克成为最新的大牌球员，在膝盖受伤后退出比赛。他加入了Andrew Wiggins，Jamal Murray，R.J。 Barrett，Tristan Thompson，Dwight Powell，Shai Gilgeous-Alexander，Chris Boucher和Nickeil Alexander-Walker是其他顶级加拿大NBA球员，错过了世界杯。

来自安大略省Newmarket的Pangos为加拿大队增加了6次助攻和4次抢断。这支球队由多伦多猛龙队主教练尼克护士执教，他带领球队本赛季获得NBA总冠军。

“在我们的更衣室里，我们专注于谁在这里，”潘戈斯说。 “我认为这是最重要的事情。当你考虑所有其他事情时，这变得不必要而且分散注意力。我们对我们所拥有的团队感到兴奋。我们将努力发展我们能做的最好的事情......并尝试在世界巅峰。“

安大略省Aurora的Andrew Nembhard和安大略省Ajax的Kaza Kajami-Keane分别增加了12分。

Nembhard，在佛罗里达大学进入他的第二年，增加了全队最高的10个篮板和4次助攻。

“他让事情变得轻松，我不太确定他是怎么做到的，”护士说，Nembhard。 “我正试图解决这个问题。他的头部是假的，他在，他已经出局了，他已经结束了，他已经到了，突然间他进入了一个清晰的空间。他有一个时髦的游戏，一个19岁的孩子，一场非常好的比赛。“

多伦多的萨克拉门托国王控球后卫Cory Joseph不在加拿大的阵容中。

Patty Mills以20分领先澳大利亚队。

加拿大留在澳大利亚，在8月20日至21日举行的两场比赛中面对新西兰，然后于8月26日结束对美国的赛前赛程。

加拿大上周在多伦多和温尼伯举行了两场对阵尼日利亚的系列赛，然后前往海外。

Canada beats Australia in FIBA warmup game

原文：

PERTH, Australia — Canada never trailed and outscored Australia 23-13 in the final quarter for a 90-70 upset win over the home side in a FIBA World Cup warmup basketball game Friday.

The Canadians (2-1 in exhibition play this summer) led 51-36 early in the third quarter but Australia rallied to draw level before the visitors dominated the final period for an easy win. The teams meet again on Saturday night at the same stadium in Perth.

"When we can come out and play that aggressive and knock down shots like that, it's great against a tough team like Australia," said Canadian guard Kevin Pangos, who led the team with 18 points on 7-of-10 shooting. "We've just to continue and keep growing as a team."

Australia plays Canada in their first game of the World Cup on Sept. 1 in China.

Canada goes into the World Cup without most of its NBA stars. The Miami Heat's Kelly Olynyk became the latest big-name player to pull out after sustaining a knee injury. He joined Andrew Wiggins, Jamal Murray, R.J. Barrett, Tristan Thompson, Dwight Powell, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Chris Boucher and Nickeil Alexander-Walker as other top Canadian NBA players to miss the World Cup.

Pangos, from Newmarket, Ont., added six assists and four steals for Canada. The team is being coached by Toronto Raptors coach Nick Nurse, who led the team to the NBA championship this season.

"Within our locker room, we're focused on who is here," Pangos said. "I think that's the most important thing. When you think about all the other stuff, that becomes unnecessary and a distraction. We're excited with the group we have. We're going to try to grow the best we can ... and try to peak at the worlds."

Andrew Nembhard of Aurora, Ont., and Kaza Kajami-Keane of Ajax, Ont., added 12 points apiece.

Nembhard, entering his second year at the University of Florida, added a team-high 10 rebounds and four assists.

"He gets places easy and I'm not quite sure how he does it," Nurse said of Nembhard. "I'm trying to figure it out. He's got this head fake, he's in, he's out, he's over, he's around, and all of a sudden he's into some clear space. He's got a funky game a little bit, for a 19-year-old kid, a pretty good game."

Sacramento Kings point guard Cory Joseph of Toronto was not in the lineup for Canada.

Patty Mills led Australia with 20 points.

Canada stays in Australia to face New Zealand in a pair of exhibition games Aug. 20-21 before wrapping up its pre-tournament schedule against the United States on Aug. 26

Canada split a two-game exhibition series against Nigeria in Toronto and Winnipeg last week before heading overseas.
