65,438+00 teams participated in this America's Cup. The tournament will be held from August 22nd to September 2nd in Las Vegas, where the All-Star Game has just been held. The venue is Thomas & Mark Arena, which is also the venue for this year's All-Star Game. The details will be announced after the draw. This America's Cup is also a trial for the 2008 Olympic Games, and the third runner-up team will be qualified to participate in the Beijing Olympic Games.
"If you want to enter the finals, the team must play at least 10 games. This time,
The tournament is of great significance, and each team will send its best players to participate. To enter the second round, you have to meet eight of the remaining nine teams, so you will face challenges from different styles of teams. The goal of all 10 teams is to compete for the only two direct seats in the Americas for the 2008 Olympic Games. The two teams are evenly matched and the game is full of challenges. The opponents of the US team include Brazil, Venezuela, Canada and the Virgin Islands. These teams are not weak, and the game should be full of excitement and challenges. There is no doubt about it. "Kelser Weiss (coach K), coach of the US team and now coach of Duke University, commented.
The achievements of the American dream team in recent years do not quite meet their title. Since winning the American championship in Puerto Rico in 2003, the Dream Team has never won an international championship. Because the 2004 Olympic Games were excluded from the final stage, last summer's World Championships ended with only a bronze medal. When the US Championship is played in the United States, the dream team must restrain its strong rivals to win the championship, so as to ensure that it can enter Beijing in 2008.
The champion and runner-up of this tournament will directly qualify for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. 3-5 teams will take part in the play-off match composed of 12 teams on July 7, 2008, and the top 3 teams will get the last 3 seats.
