00:27Like the win streak is like a million and nothing right now.

00:29They haven't lost in Olympic games, that they're going to continue that win streak

00:32here in the quarterfinals once we get there.

00:37Like Germany is no joke on the world stage.

00:40Belgium is no joke on the world stage.

00:42And Japan plays such a different style from everybody else that you have to game plan

00:46for them.

00:47They shoot a ton of threes.

00:51It was incredible to see them play that way up and down the floor.

00:54So this is the group of death and they were able to go through relatively unscathed.

00:59They lost maybe a quarter in that and that was to Germany by one point.

01:21Kelsey Plum, a former number one overall pick before Kaitlyn Clark showed up.

01:25She was the number one all-time score in the NCAA.
