Furthermore, Carl doesn't have enough experience to request the assistant coach he wants; having Hart to support him is already quite good.
Soon, reporters came to interview Dream Team players, while some were showering, others were being interviewed, and Carl's idea of boosting morale completely fell through.
"It would be better if we lost," Carl even thought.
If this game were lost, everyone would return to the locker room dejected, and he could say the things he wanted to say and make the changes he wanted.
At least he could establish a reasonable starting lineup and not have to adjust the starters for balance.
Tonight, Team USA used this lineup against China, but in the next game against Italy, there would be partial changes, allowing players like Vin Baker and Rashim to play earlier.
This was the rule set by Dream Team: the starting lineup doesn't have to be fixed, there are many players who can play, and everyone should have opportunities.
