As Australia continues to digest another Olympics Games without a mens basketball medal, Boomers guard Kevin Lisch believes the campaign was still a resounding success.With six of Australias 12-man squad boasting NBA experience, including Matthew Dellavedova,?Andrew Bogut and Patty Mills, much was expected?from the Boomers in Rio, despite never previously?winning an Olympic medal of any colour.The bar was raised even higher when a strong performance against Team USA was followed by a dominant victory over Lithuania, but a shock semi-final defeat by Serbia left the nation deflated before pride was regained with their efforts against Spain in the bronze medal game.Lisch insists the experience delivered more boom than gloom for Australia.Obviously wed like to have that game against Serbia again, Lisch told ESPN.They really pushed us physically and we went away from what was working for us.Looking back at our campaign -- out of the eight games or so -- we really only had one bad game, and that was against Serbia.We left it all out there on the court and sure, wed like to have that one again, but they played great and that happens in sport.American-born Lisch became a naturalised Australian only five months before the Rio Games, and he is philosophical about his adopted countrys Olympic campaign.Lisch believes the Boomers were beaten by quality opposition rather than the weight of expectation, and he says the experience will make him and the national team stronger.Obviously the way we lost the Serbia game was hard, and I think the Spain game was really tough because we had our chances, he said.You just have to move on from those things and it was unfortunate not to come home with a medal, but we competed at a very high level against Spain.Its been suggested the level of officiating in the game against Spain wasnt of a similarly high level, but Lisch has already come to terms with one particular controversial and costly late call.Leading by one point with little more than five seconds to play, a blocking foul was ruled against Patty Mills; Sergio Rodriguez stepped up to the free-throw line and Australias 88-87 lead became an 89-88 Spain victory.People talk about the calls at the end but that is the nature of sport, and thats why its a beautiful game, Lisch said.It was tough but they always say one bad call doesnt make a game and I believe that.If you over-analyse the specific situations youd just go crazy so you need to let it go.The Boomers left another Olympic Games without winning a medal, but Lisch says they did win a greater level of respect from in international basketball.The rest of the world saw what we were doing, Lisch told ESPN.We were probably playing some of the best basketball in the world at certain times so I think if we can just be a little more consistent with that then theres no saying how far we can go.But at 30-years-old, it is uncertain how long Lisch has to go.He will start his first year of a three-year deal with the Sydney Kings in the NBL, but is non-committal when asked if the Tokyo Olympics are in his plans.Gee, I dont know. I have no idea where Ill be tomorrow, Lisch said.* The Sydney Kings open their NBL season against the Brisbane Bullets on October 8 at Qudos Bank Arena.Air Max 95 Miglior Prezzo .
