Redeem Team Shooting Needs to Improve

Team USA has gotten past China and Angola easily in the first two games of the Olympics, but they now are heading into a much more difficult stretch of games. Upcoming on the schedule are Spain and Greece.

In games 1 & 2, its looked more like an NBA All-Star game with tons of dunking and big blocked shots. What's been lacking from Team USA is 3 point shooting. The Americans shot 5-of-21 from behind the arc against Angola and just 7-of-24 against the Chinese.

Now some of that I'm sure has to do with the American players trying to adjust to a shorter 3 point line, a different feel to the ball and not being used to being so wide open for shots. However, to beat the Spanish and Greek teams, the guards need to start knocking down the long ball.
