nba summer league is in full swing. Many rookies in the 24th draft have performed brilliantly in the summer league. For example, Sheppard, the third overall pick of rocket , his performance completely surpassed that of Sal and Risa Shepard. The top two picks, No. 4 pick Castle and No. 5 pick Holland, although their performances were not stable enough, they also performed brilliantly. As for the one who truly showed his dominance, I think it was No. 7 pick Klingen.
I believe everyone is familiar with Klingen. He is considered to be one of the most talented inside players in this class. He was once considered to be in the top three picks, but eventually fell to the seventh pick. The Trail Blazers missed him and got him. To be honest, if other teams got him, fans might say they made a profit, but the Trail Blazers have Ayton. Under such circumstances, it seems difficult for Klingen next season. have the opportunity.
Of course, the Trail Blazers may not have no chance next season. After all, Ayton's performance last season did not meet the team's expectations, and Billups also wants to build a team system. If Klingen can meet expectations, he may Will drive Ayton away. Judging from the past few Summer League games, Klingen's defense has reached the height of everyone's expectations, but his offensive performance is not satisfactory. He is indeed a good goalkeeper, but he has not been able to take advantage of it offensively. arms.
In the Summer League against Spurs , Klingen made 1 of 8 shots from the field, 0 of 3 three-pointers, and scored 8 points, 13 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal, and 5 blocks. In the Summer League against 76ers , Klingen made 4 of 11 shots from the field, 0 of 1 from three-point range, and scored 8 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists, and 3 blocks. In the Summer League against the Wizards , Klingen made 3 of 10 shots from the field and 1 of 2 from three-point range. He scored 8 points, 13 rebounds, 2 assists and 5 blocks. Against Hornets , Klingen made 7 of 13 shots, 2 of 7 three-pointers and scored 16 points, 12 rebounds, 2 steals and 4 blocks.
Although his offensive performance is inefficient and his three-point shooting is not good, in the past few summer league games, Klingen averaged 12.3 rebounds and 4.3 blocks per game, ranking first in the league in both statistics. , from here we can also see how good Klingen's potential is. At the beginning, Wenban Xia United's average blocks per game were not as high as Klingen. It can be said that the Trail Blazers have found a guarantee that can help them win.
It can be expected that Klingen will be a player who can support a defensive system to help the team win in the future, just like Gobert. Although such players will be targeted in the playoffs because of their slow pace, But their extreme frame protection also makes opponents very painful during the regular season without targeting. After all, Klingen is 2.2 meters tall and the defensive coverage area is too large. With his presence, it is estimated that it will be difficult for Ayton. Long-term team.
The Blazers are expected to build a team around Henderson and Klingen in the future. As for players like Ayton and Sharp who have good talents but do not seem to have high ceilings, it is estimated that it will be difficult for them to stay in the team for a long time. As for Anfen For Nisimon and Grant, the team may choose to seize their value and try to trade them away. There are still many teams in the trading market who want to get Grant through trade.
As for Cui Yongxi, who everyone is more concerned about, it is hard to say whether he can stay in the Trail Blazers, but based on what the Trail Blazers coach is doing to him, I think it will be difficult for him to stay in the Trail Blazers. According to a statement from the agency OBA Southeast Star League, Cui Yongxi suffered a calf strain after the game against the Hornets. After discussions with the Trail Blazers coaching staff, he decided to return to China for a period of recuperation in the near future and return to the United States in early August. .
Everyone has seen Xiao Cui's efforts, but the Blazers coach didn't give him a chance at all. He has the ability but he didn't get that much playing time. In the Summer League, Cui Yongxi played for a total of 6 minutes and won the game. With 6 points and 1 assist, his personal ability is no problem. His shooting ability has made great progress compared to before, especially in terms of catch-and-shoot, and he is also very active in defense.
No matter whether Xiao Cui can regain the recognition of the American men's basketball team after returning from injury, even if he returns to China, I believe he has made great progress compared to before. After the men's basketball team ended in the summer league, they went to watch Xiao Cui's game together. During the game, Director Guo even went to watch the game twice. It can be seen that Director Guo still attaches great importance to Xiao Cui, and it is worth mentioning that today Director Guo officially became the head coach of the men's basketball team.
Although the outside world has always questioned Director Guo's coaching ability, under the current situation of the men's basketball team, no one is willing to take over this mess. As a result, Director Guo took over. His courage and dedication are commendable. The same goes for the men's basketball team in the Summer League. There is a reward, they discovered Liao Sanning, an outstanding player, and it is estimated that he will discover more outstanding players to help the Chinese men's basketball team in the future. Speaking of which, what do you want to say about Cui Yongxi and the men's basketball team now? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
