The storylines will be plentiful Wednesday night when the two teams playing the best basketball so far at the Rio Olympics square off, but no subplot was generating more discussion on the eve of the Group A showdown between then United States and Australia than Kyrie Irving versus Matthew Dellavedova.As recently as late June, Irving and Dellavedova were teammates celebrating their first NBA championship together with the Cleveland Cavaliers. But Dellavedova has since moved on in free agency to the Milwaukee Bucks and, coming off the finest game of his national team career, will now go head to head with Irving in the most anticipated game to date in the mens tournament.The individual matchup generated numerous questions Tuesday before Team USAs afternoon practice at Brazils famed Clube Flamengo, sparked partly because of the Melbourne-born Irvings Aussies roots but mostly because of Dellavedovas reputation for in-your-face defense.Dellys gonna compete, Irving said. Thats all he knows. Im used to that already (from Cavaliers practices), so I dont see it as him being feisty or him being a pest. Hes gonna do what Delly does.Irving then tried to assert that he doesnt think Delly is gonna rank as the all-time peskiest guy Ive ever gone against, but Irving also didnt have a ready response when asked to name a defender hes found peskier.Dellavedova enjoyed a near-perfect outing Monday in Australias 95-80 victory over Serbia, totaling 23 points and 13 assists without a single turnover. He and San Antonio Spurs guard Patty Mills combined for 49 points in the win over Serbia, which followed a 21-point trouncing Saturday of highly rated France to set the tone for whats been a mens tourney filled with upsets already -- excluding games featuring the United States.The Americans have romped to a 2-0 start in Group A with wins over China and Venezuela by a combined 101 points and are frankly in need of a push, having only played one game this summer out of seven so far against what could be considered a legitimate medal contender in Rio: Last months 37-point exhibition cruise in Las Vegas past aging Argentina.Hes just a continuance of the Australian that weve played against in my 11 years, Team USA coach Mike Krzyzewski said of Dellavedova and his relentless style.Theyve always played first of all with great spirit and togetherness. As good as they are individually, theyre greater as the sum of those parts.In addition to Dellavedova and Mills, Australia boasts legit NBA size in Dallas Mavericks center Andrew Bogut and Detroit Pistons center Aron Baynes as well as former NBAer David Andersen. Utah Jazz swingman Joe Ingles adds to the Aussies shooting threat.But Krzyzewski is concerned most about Australias pick-and-roll prowess and the passing of Bogut and Dellavedova. Its a much stronger team than the Australian squad Team USA blasted by 33 points in the quarterfinals of the London Olympics in 2012, which Bogut missed thanks to an ankle injury.Im sure Australia sees a lot of things that they can do against us because theyre really good, Krzyzewski said. Australian basketball is terrific. ... They can beat us. We know that and well prepare accordingly.We know that they feel like they can beat us and we understand that, Krzyzewski said.I think it will be a really good game.Said Irving: When I saw the France (score), I was like, OK this will be a great test. We need to be beat up a little bit to prepared for whats ahead.Team USA star Kevin Durant, however, scoffed at the notion that the game will narrow down to a duel between Irving and Dellavedova.Dellys playing well, but hes not getting into no one-on-one matchup (with Irving), Durant said. Kyries a dog; hes an animal. Thats how he approaches the game?.Irving ultimately conceded that Dellavedovas physicality led to a few rough days on the Cavaliers practice floor but said his fondness for the former St. Marys standout is such that theyll be bonded forever.Its been good for the both of us, Irving said of their three seasons together as teammates.Yet when it comes to game day, Irving added: Just like I should be worried about him, he should be worried about me. It goes both ways?.

Miranda Brazil Jersey . World champions Tatiana Volosozhar and Maxim Trankov of Russia won the gold medal with 237.71 points, Moore-Towers and Moscovitch followed at 208.45 and Ksenia Stolbova and Fedor Klimov of Russia were third at 187. http://www.soccerbrazilonline.com/Jonas-Copa-America-Jersey/ . The catch: It needs a lot of money, and it needs it fast. Philippe Coutinho Brazil Jersey . Burke is expected to miss two to three months after breaking a finger in the teams third preseason game. Tinsley, a 10-year veteran, spent the last two seasons in Utah, where the point guard averaged 3. Fabinho Jersey . -- Its been a long road back for Sean Bergenheim. GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Florida coach Jim McElwain has a defensive makeover on his hands.The 20th-ranked Gators (8-4) lost defensive coordinator Geoff Collins, who on Tuesday finalized a deal to become Temples new head coach , and could lose as many as eight defensive starters to the NFL.The departures mean a significant rebuild on that side of the ball for McElwain. Under Collins, Florida put together a top-10 defense in each of the last two years.Hes a guy thats meant a lot to us, as you guys know, McElwain said. One of the first guys that I hired and yet hes not the only one on our staff thats been contacted. Yet, thats kind of cool. People taking note as far as what were doing and how were going about it. Im really excited for him moving forward.McElwain said weve got some things already in the works regarding filling Collins position. He said co-defensive coordinator and linebackers coach Randy Shannon will be in the mix.Absolutely, McElwain said. Weve got a lot of options, and weve already discussed them here.The Gators, who play No. 21 Iowa in the Outback Bowl on Jan. 2, might not be prepared for all the defensive departures that could follow Collins out the door. Linebacker Jarrad Davis, safety Marcus Maye, defensive end Bryan Cox and defensive tackle Joey Ivie are seniors and definitely gone. Cornerbacks Jalen Tabor and Quincy Wilson and defensive tackle Caleb Brantley are expected to leave school early and enter the draft.Linebacker Alex Anzalone and defensive back Duke Dawson, both juniors, also are considering turning pro.McElwain said no one has definitely declared for the NFL, but a handful of guys have submitted paperwork to the NFL Draft Advisory Board.We sent out all the things that we could to the NFL for those guys, McElwain said. We put those booklets together. Well sit down and meet with some of them after the bowl game as far as a direction and what they want to do. Just getting the information, not talk them in, talk them out -- thats not it. Just make sure theyll well informed so their handlers and their families kind of know what at least is outt there, and yet its not its not written in stone, either, once you get those reports.ddddddddddddUnderclassmen have until Jan. 18 to declare for the NFL draft.McElwain recently invited a NFL general manager to speak to his players, so they would have a better understanding of how the draft process works.The No. 1 thing that the league looks at is what you put on film, McElwain said. Thats the No. 1 evaluator, and in his case, over 75 percent of what they did with their draft is all based on how a guy played on film. So this is another opportunity for those guys to play well against a really good football team, a physical football team, another opportunity to be proud of what you put on film.Other items of note:- Davis (ankle), Cox (ankle), Dawson (ankle), safety Nick Washington (ankle), guard Martez Ivey (ankle), linebacker David Reese (wrist) and defensive end Antonneous Clayton (elbow) wont be on the field when bowl practices begin Thursday. Its unclear whether any of those guys will be healthy enough to play before the Outback Bowl.- McElwain said hes aware that running back Mark Thompson has been charged with misdemeanor trespassing for sneaking into a towing company lot.Yeah, were made aware of that, McElwain said. Ive got to kind of find out where exactly that sits moving forward. But obviously were aware there was an incident here last week.- McElwain also explained his decision to name quarterback Austin Appleby the starter over Luke Del Rio for the bowl game.Well, No. 1, Luke isnt all the way back (healthy), McElwain said, referring to Del Rios sprained throwing shoulder. Austins done a good job since hes started playing. Obviously there are some throws that hed like back, but at the same time, this late in the year, he deserves it. You know what? Im excited for him to go play in this game, another opportunity for him to go help this team win.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 ' ' '
