top in Olympic mens basketball.Now Australia is looking forward to its shot at
the U.S. for the chance to stay there.Were going out there to win a game,
forward Joe Ingles said. I think weve got a team that is focused on that and we
believe we can do some special things in this tournament.Australia became the
first team to start 2-0 here by pulling away to beat Serbia 95-80 on Monday.
Patty Mills scored 26 points and Matthew Dellavedova had 23 points and 13
assists for the Australians, who have opened the Olympics by beating France and
Serbia, two of the top-six teams in the world.The Aussies play the top-ranked
Americans on Wednesday.We havent done anything we didnt expect to do. These are
the goals we set, center Andrew Bogut said.Were not happy being 2-0. We want to
continue on and go to the medal rounds.The Australians have a team built to do
it. They have big bodies inside with Bogut and Aron Baynes, plenty of playmaking
with Mills and Dellavedova, and something more that cant be measured on a stat
sheet.I think the belief within our group is something that I dont know if weve
ever had before, Mills said.The U.S. blew Australia out in the quarterfinals of
the last two Olympics, part of a disappointing recent history for a team that
finished fourth in consecutive Olympics in 1996 and 2000. Thee Australians have
never won an Olympic medal in mens basketball, part of the reason they werent
looked at as a top contender here.ddddddddddddWe havent done (anything) the last
20 or 30 years of basketball and we still havent done anything, so we got a lot
to do, Bogut said. But the guys who write stories about that, predictions and
all that, God bless them because its a tough job at times. But were really not
buying in to that too much.Australia felt it had the potential for its best team
ever this year, even with No. 1 draft pick Ben Simmons opting not to play and
Dante Exum, Ingles teammate with the Utah Jazz, unable to make it back from a
torn knee ligament.The Aussies still have an experienced team, with Mills,
Bogut, Dellavedova and Baynes all winning NBA championships.So they obviously
know how to play at this level, Serbia coach Sasha Djordjevic said.Now the
Aussies want more.We set a goal to win a gold medal and thats what were here to
do, Ingles said. We obviously know how hard that is, its obviously not an easy
task. Weve been preparing for this for a long time, but we believe we have a
team that can do something special.---Follow Brian Mahoney on Twitter:
