FIBA 3X3 Women's Series Quebec City: Quebec vs. Canada
Once again, I'm Jordan Robinson and I'm you guys for the past two days. I'll be hanging out with you the next two days, but we are on and popping here in Quebec. The first shot is no good. He's Crozon driving with the right-handed leg that gets it to go. Crozon has been on fire these last few stops and right there getting it off on the defensive end where she gets the steal and gets fouled. You guys missed it, but the early, early warmups, Crozon and her daughter Poppy taking warm up shots. It was the cutest thing ever. Go back with the chance to get their first buckets. Two seconds on the shot clock. Having some trouble not able to flip it up. Canada ball back screen crows on, crows on to Quebec. Zip drop step, turn around, fade away, in and out. Good look though for pubios. 2 pointer. No, but Brown chases her own rebound, puts it up. That comes up short way to keep battling in there. Smith able to get the putback 2 pointer no Quebec still unable to get on the board this crowd loud rooting for both of these squads. Brown left-handed lay yeah four O lead for Canada. Go back trying to get on the board first tough first opponent for them. Turn around. Jay is good. Mario Brown for two thought about the two pulls back. Luvios driving left gets poked from behind. Crozon goes up and good five one start. Canada blazing hot to start. Another jumper is good. Couple layups missed inside, but Canada able to clean up their own misses. They're up 6:00 to 2:00. We're back. Having to work hard. Just a little bit of a height advantage on the guard fronts before Canada. Nice entry pass and Brown able to finish that one. Rubio's jumper goes in, but she didn't clear it beforehand. It's always a tricky, tricky thing to get used to if you are not used to 3X3. Smith goes over to Cruzon who shoots the two money offense here for Team Canada buzzing as Crozon just having her way. 1:50 start. Call a foul on Brown and that's gonna take us to our first media time out. Let these two teams get a breather, but Canada, OH 1:50 Get another look at Crow Zones 2. She made it look easy. Majority of these early points here go to Crow. 5 seconds on the shot clock. Quebec's gotta go. Shot is up and down for Dominique Smith. Doesn't hit Crozon on the roll. Tried to take it herself and Crozon tried to finish it himself. Doesn't get it to drop, still 10 to 3, two pointer just short. But Dominique with the O board has he step back, goes inside to Dominique, left-handed hook, no Crozone back to Brown and she's fouled. Free throws good. Canada able to extend the lead as Quebec drives baseline and they're going to call Team Canada for the with the foul. Archambault checks it up. Hits are on the flare screen, but that's going to go out of bounds. Thank you Val count two to two. It's been a free flowing ball game but all Canada and these are first minutes. Brown got stuck in the paint, tried to flip it up. Good old board by Pluvios. She clears it, sets an on ball deep. Two pointer Moneyball Arshambo Brown her turn. Yes, anything you could do I could do better. 13-5 lead for Canada. Another two point attempt is good is rain and Tuesday in Quebec, good defense there by Canada to break up that entry pass 8 seconds left on the shot clock. Crozon Faust Another look at that. That was from way outside of the city limits. Another two pointer that one's off left. Oh board goes to Dominique two pointer up. Not that time for Pluvios pace. Crozon tries it. She gets another 15-7. If you are new to 3X3, it is a 10 minute Sprint. Whoever is winning when the 10 minutes is up or the first team to get to 21 points. So that's what we are striving for here in this game. One Canada trying to get to 21 before the time runs out, where they hold on to their lead when the clock strikes zeros. Rubios hesitated. Quebec still staying with it. Dominique has it. 8 seconds on the shock. Nice pass. Dominique not able to finish. Good defense there by Brown. Cana comes away with the Crozon shooting practice. Smith able to put it back in. 18 seven. Canada rolling here, little give and go. Dominique not able to hold on to it and they call Canada for the foul. Little bit of a late whistle, but let's see Crow Zone firing away red hot Team Canada from beyond the arc eighteen to seven as we see Quebec trying their their best to answer back-to-back two pointers was really nice by our Trumbo, but Cruzon says I can do that. Watch this smooth free throw goes in for Dominique, but it crows on. Now she got you thinking she's gonna take the two. She drives it but unable to complete the play there. Brown wanted it tipped, but the ball is gonna go over to Quebec. Still 3 minutes to go, pop up J money Marua free throw line jumper is good, the crowd loves it. Oh but tough finish by Smith. Another two pointer. My goodness. Archambault drills it from D offensive foul Way to step in a double charge even by Quebec. Rain and twos here indoors for Quebec team struggled with their offense the first few minutes but man has it been free flowing ever since. Three seconds on the shot clock has to put it up, turn around, fade away. No good good defense there by Canada to force a really tough shot. 229 on the game clock. Crozone steps out, takes another two rattles it in and call game Crozone. My goodness. Want to get the official count but I think that was 52 pointers for her. Both teams give it up to the crowd, but it is going to go to Canada. Bosh don't even think saw the court. She just had the clipboard playing, coach.
