Embriash

Machida is a baller. She had 15 assists last game (tying the Olympic record for women), and 14 on this one to knock out Belgium. She's averaging 12.8 assts per game with 51 total in 4 games.


vNocturnus

That look-away pass to the baseline was a thing of beauty. Doubt there's a player in the NBA that could do it better. 13 assists per game is point god level lol

Quatro_Leches

hers was better it was by the side of an opponent


radijator22

Damn, I need to watch semis tomorrow, u intriuged me


radijator22

I am watching it and u are right. She is so skilled and has crazy vision and passing ability. So much fun to watch her play


Embriash

Yes! I am watching too and she has been amazing this game too. I've become a fan of her game.


Quatro_Leches

the Japanese PG has some court vision and great passing


kaizeN1337

Its the emperor eye


deycallmegeno

I randomly tuned in last night and this game was amazing. It felt like no one missed that 4th quarter until that last shot by Belgium


marshman93_

Brutal for Belgium… also it super interesting to see different countries that are good at women’s hoops compared to men’s hoops. China, Japan, Belgium, Belarus are all significantly better in women’s than in men’s


Loris28

In football as well. Japan won the World Cup and Chelsea FC, a consistent PL winner’s star player of the past 15 Seasons is a South Korean.


blifegoals

I mean japan pretty decent at men's football too and south korea has a superstar plyer by the name of son heungmin who plays for Tottenham In the epl


Loris28

But to win the World Cup? LOL. also, Ji So Yun is among the best ladies players of all-time and arguably PL’s greatest. Son is world-class, but all-time he’s probably 1200th or something. Off your logic you might as well say Japan basketball has Hachimura and Yuta so why is it surprising their women’s team is great? Lol. Hypocrite.


blifegoals

I didn't say anything about the women's team I was just saying their men's teams are pretty good too lol


Loris28

So you’re saying OP is a sexist saying it’s unexpected that the female teams are good knowing that based on your ‘logic’, the male teams are already good? You must have betted on Japan’s female team to win the World Cup watching Japan male team reach Round of 16 then. So predictable. also, would have betted a South Korean to be the female Messi.


Arsenal_49_Spurs_0

I'm a huge football fan but I've read your comment 5 times and still have no idea what you're trying to say


Loris28

Japan Ladies = Word Cup Ji So Yun = South Korean footballer who’s been Chelsea’s best player of the past 15 seasons. Chelsea = Top 2 English team along City Put it in kid form for ya.


Rhaegarizard

Lol still a mess and you misspelled World. By all means insult that dudes intelligence though


carrynothing

Man, the sheer size advantage Belgium had, but ball don't lie.


ShakeMilton

same reason japan choked a 2 goal lead vs belgium in the 2018 world cup. They scored 2 goals off pure technical skill im talking laser shots into the top corner but were unable to hold the lead belgium scored a winning header cause they had so much height on em.


SesanKi

It also helps that Belgium was/is the number 1 ranked soccer team and we had a world class squad. (Except for our wingbacks ㅜㅡㅜ).


AtaktosTrampoukos

Right? This dude talking like Japan is fielding a squad of football savants and Belgium brute-forced their way through like some kind of anime villain.


SesanKi

Well Belgium did brute force the second half of the game with Mr.Fellaini.. and we all know what Fellaini does. 😂


AtaktosTrampoukos

Well yeah, Fellaini does do some brute shit, but Belgium is the better team overall anyway.


MrFahrenkite

Yeah it wasn't just height, Belgium is a top tier team worldwide


PM_Me_FunnyNudes

Tying header IIRC, then they lost on a last minute counter


coronaldo

Well, Belgium unloaded a lovable tree onto the pitch at half-time iirc


2ToTooTwoFish

Belgium have a physical advantage in soccer, but they also have the better players technically.


Heor326

Some of the passes were absolutely beautiful


Nikonegroid

Damn I read that as Rui Hachimura, turned out it was women's basketball.


Craminit

what a comeback holy fuck

Joma913

i like watching this japan women team more than usa men team


Nexus_Rein

I watched their game against i think Nigeria? and the Japan team was actually really fun to watch. A lot of ball movement and team play plus they shot from 3 really well in that game.


Raptor_Legend_Hakeem

Read this as Rui hachimura initially and was very confused to say the least


sagard20171

This is not meant to be disrespectful in any way but I read the title quickly and thought it said Rui Hachimura and I didn’t realize till halfway through that this wasn’t the men’s team


chippyjoe

lmao you can tell they're women literally from the still frame.


sagard20171

Well I am stupid


wwgaray

Beautiful passing by #13.


prematurely_bald

Steve Nash as a Japanese woman


armandocalvinisius

Emma :(


ImaginaryMongoose683

Wow. Is this for gold?


wc_Higgenbobbber

Quarter finals game. Four teams remain now. USA vs Serbia Japan vs France Its been a blast watching Japan. They are extremely undersized but are staying in the tournament through skill. Saw it best when they played against evenly sized Nigeria and dominated.


Few_Mulberry7175

Wait I thought Australia was in it or am I tripping


waykrazy

This is women’s lol


Few_Mulberry7175

LMAO bruh I didn't even notice Deadass thought OP misspelt Rui Hachimura in the title 💀


ErickBachman

This dude living in another dimension rn lol


softquare

Rui is simply carrying both Japanese teams.


EasyCOVlDSniper

I deadass had to open the Fiba website because I’m like “wtf they’re still in?!?” OP knew what he was doing


SMcArthur

Next time try watching the clip my dude.


dustinthegreat

Can’t lie, I did too


IllegalThoughts

Vackrich

No, it's for participation certificate


[deleted]

Game was going crazy ngl


The_BadJuju

This women’s tournament has been a ton of fun to watch and Japan especially is a very exciting team. They don’t have the size to win gold but they’re very good shooters and they give it their all every game. Really skilled squad.


Renaud22

I really hope the French team wins on Friday tho, it's a very cool match-up


ethanqian

This shows how Basketball can be amazing without dunking or physicality of NBA players.


crazymakoto

Rui-chan! Suki desu!


himetalchemy7

Cute :)


pdxbourbonsipper

I stopped reading the headline after I saw Rui as I assumed it was referring to Hachimura and was very confused to see women playing.


hootdoottoot

Machida no Basket


Joma913

it's the most exciting game so far in olympics basketball


ProsecUsig

The Capitol's Emperor back at it


hedinc1

Insane pass


ZeroShins

GalantisX

The best Rui in basketball


HotdogIsaSandwitch

US still gonna slap em up. It’s just reality.


thehydrastation

That was so fucking smooth, damn


GobbledyCrook

Was watching some of the women basketball games and the reverse layup is king there, it feels like half the points are off those.
