We believe that everything happened for a reason. We met them already in Belgium but did not play our best, so we look forward to meeting them again on Wednesday (today),&#8221; Wakama said.<\/p>\n<p>Reflecting on their previous encounter, she noted, \u201cI think the first game we played with them was an eye-opener. We were able to watch the game and break down what we did wrong, what we did well and I think now that our girls have the experience of playing against them, it would help a lot.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2023\/06\/30\/nbbf-appoints-wakama-dtigress-head-coach\/\">Wakama<\/a> also highlighted the team&#8217;s preparation, stating, &#8220;We\u2019ve also played about five games now; we have three friendlies and three matches here, so we are going into the game confidently. We are playing well, and we have a great addition to the team (Ezinne) who brings another level of intensity and experience to us.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She emphasized that the USA would be facing a different team this time. \u201cSo I think the USA has not played against this team before because the team they played against in Belgium differs from this team. So we are looking forward to doing what we do and do it well,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>D\u2019Tigress have already made history in Paris, becoming the first African team, men\u2019s or women\u2019s, to reach the quarterfinals in Olympic basketball. Ending the United States\u2019 58-match winning streak and seven consecutive gold medals would rank among the greatest upsets in sports history.<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. and Nigeria have met only once at the Olympics in women\u2019s basketball, a group-stage game in Tokyo four years ago, where Team USA won 81-72, despite taking a 20-point lead into the fourth quarter. The two sides have also met twice previously at the FIBA World Cup, with the U.S. winning a group-stage game in 2006 and a quarterfinal in 2018.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Coach Rena Wakama expressed confidence in D\u2019Tigress ahead of their quarterfinal match against the USA, emphasizing their excitement and
