"Arrr! Caitlin Clark's banner be catchin' the eye of fair maidens o' the court, 'fore Japan gave 'em a right thrashin'!"
2024-07-29
Arrr! A fine lass of Japan wielded a sign for Caitlin Clark, tryin’ to rattle the American crew on Monday. But lo and behold, ‘twas like throwin’ a parrot at a barnacle – Team USA didn’t flinch one bit! Ha!
Arrr mateys! Gather ‘round fer a tale of the hardwood seas! A lass o’ Japan, a fan of the women’s basketball, hoisted a cheeky sign that read, “Ye need Caitlin Clark to beat us!” as the American crew prepared to clash with the land of the rising sun at the Paris Olympics. Aye, ‘twas a bold jibe indeed, but the swashbucklers of Team USA weren’t hearin’ it!As the match commenced, our American wenches, led by the fearless A’ja Wilson, plundered the score, facin’ off against the Japanese crew who remembered the bitter taste of defeat from the gold medal tussle of 2020. With a mighty shout, the Americans sailed to victory, a grand score of 102-76, makin’ the sign’s words float away like a cursed ship!
A’ja scored 24 points, while her mates, Breanna Stewart and Brittney Griner, added their own cannon fire with 22 and 11 points, respectively. As fer Caitlin Clark, she was left off the Olympic roster, but the winds of fate had changed, as she did perform like a true buccaneer in the WNBA, showin’ her prowess with triple-doubles and jaw-droppin’ assists.
So, mark me words, ‘tis a lesson learned on the high seas of sport – never underestimate the crew ye think might need a little extra help! Arrr!
