就像孟菲斯灰熊队的后卫贾·莫兰特一样，亚特兰大老鹰队的球星特雷·杨也同样对美国队在奥运会前的表演赛中接连输球感到困惑。
2021年7月13日，在美国队以83-91负于澳大利亚队后，特雷杨在推特上已经不知道用什么语言形容了。这是美国队连续第二次输球，此前他们还以90比87输掉了最近与尼日利亚队的热身赛。
这位老鹰队的明星只能发出两个表情来分享他的感受：一张昏昏欲睡的脸和一张没有嘴巴的脸——这表明他对结果是多么的无语。
不过，特雷杨的反应并不奇怪。毕竟，大多数观看了对澳大利亚和尼日利亚的比赛的球员在目睹美国队如何挣扎后，可能都有同样的感受。
此外，美国队参加了这两项比赛作为最受欢迎的赢家。事实上，在周一与婴儿潮一代的比赛中，他们以17.5分的优势占据榜首并占据主导地位，而事实显然并非如此。
当然，这可能是因为球队仍在学习如何与对方并肩作战。在对阵尼日利亚和澳大利亚的比赛中，防守一直是格雷格·波波维奇手下的关键问题，没有沟通和化学反应就很难做到完美。更不用说波波老爷子还在他的名单上做实验，可能是为了评估他能为东京奥运会使用的最佳首发阵容和替补阵容。
美国队还有三场热身赛，两场对阿根廷，一场对西班牙。希望凯文·杜兰特和他的队友们能在比赛中努力，解决他们在球场上遇到的问题。

Trae Young’s confused reaction to back-to-back Team USA losses
原文：
Just like Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant, Atlanta Hawks star Trae Young is just as bewildered by the back-to-back losses Team USA endured in their pre-Olympic exhibition games.
On Twitter, Young seemed to be at a loss for words after Team USA suffered a 91-3 defeat to Australia. It was the nation’s second straight loss after also dropping their recent practice game with Nigeria, 90-87.
The Hawks star could only send out two emojis to share what he’s feeling: a woozy face and a face without mouth–indicating how speechless he was with the results.

Trae Young’s reaction is not surprising, though. After all, most players who watched the game against Australia and Nigeria probably had the same feelings after witnessing how Team USA struggled.
Furthermore, Team USA entered both contests as the favorites to win. In fact, on Monday against the Boomers, they were 17.5 points favorites to come out on top and dominate–which was obviously not the case.
Of course, it might be because the squad is still learning to play alongside each other. Against Nigeria and Australia, defense has been the key issue for Gregg Popovich’s men, something that is difficult to perfect without communication and chemistry. Not to mention that Coach Pop is still experimenting on his roster, possibly to assess the best starting unit and bench he can use for the Tokyo Olympics.
Team USA still have three exhibition games scheduled, two against Argentina and one against Spain. Hopefully, it will be enough for Kevin Durant and Co. to work on their game and solve the on-court issues they have encountered.
