"To try to stop him, it's not easy, we know that," Varejao said. "It's for a reason he's the scoring leader in the tournament. But we believe we can do that, we can do a good job against him."
The U.S. wasn't sharp in its final two games of group play, but guard Chauncey Billups compared those matchups against Iran and Tunisia to an NBA team taking it easy in its final two regular-season games before the playoffs.
"That's over with now, and now we can get to the meat and potatoes," Billups said.
The Americans are expected to get to the semifinals.
"When it comes to basketball, people expect us to win and play well all the time and win every tournament, win every game," center Lamar Odom said. "And basketball's played all over the world now, there's a balance of talent spread throughout the world."
Angola finished fourth in Group A. The perennial African champions lost all five games at the 2008 Olympics, where the U.S. beat them 97-76, but bounced back to advance to the knockout stage for the second straight time in the world championship.
"We know we are going to play a tough and athletic Angola team that played us really well in the Olympics two years ago," guard Stephen Curry said. "We're going to be ready."
Russia has slipped since its surprising European championship in 2007, while New Zealand has Kirk Penney, the tournament's second-leading scorer at 25.4 points per game.
