SAPPORO, Japan — One day Carmelo Anthony leads the U.S. in scoring. The next game, it's Dwyane Wade's turn.

Wade scored 26 points yesterday to lead the U.S. to a 121-90 rout of Yao Ming and China, the Americans' second win in as many games at the FIBA world championships.

Someone else may lead the way against Slovenia tomorrow.

This is how the Americans were assembled. Unlike many teams in the world championships, they don't have to rely on one or two stars to carry the scoring load.

"We have to be unselfish because of the caliber of players that we have," captain LeBron James said. "There's no reason for us to be selfish. Guys can make shots. Guys can make plays at any given moment of the game. I go out there to be unselfish and it kind of rubs off on everybody else."

James averaged 31.4 points per game last year for Cleveland. He's averaging 13 in the first two games here.

"The dimensions we have on our team, I don't need to score at all," said James, who has eight assists in two games.

The Americans have averaged 116 points against Puerto Rico and China.

Anthony scored a team-high 21 points in the opening 111-100 win over Puerto Rico, and nine of the 11 Americans who played scored at least two baskets.

Yesterday, Wade had 26 points on 9 of 13 shooting. And he didn't even start.

The U.S. spread the ball around from the start. Shane Battier, who took only two shots in the opener, opened the game with a 3-pointer from the corner, then drove for a basket.

Dwight Howard made two free throws. Then Anthony and Chris Paul each hit 15-footers.

The only starter who didn't score in the first four minutes was James.

"We've got 12 guys on this team who can make shots," Anthony said.
