preseason goes to day 3, there are 4 games:
- Knicks 125:107 Pacers
- Bulls 131:95 Cavaliers
- Rockets 125:119 Wizards
- Grizzlies 87 :77 Bucks
Today, there are many outstanding players and many wonderful shots. However, let's start with the rookie with the 13th overall pick in the Pacers.
The 13th overall pick
In this year’s NBA Draft, the Pacers used the 13th pick in the first round to select a player from Dominica: Chris Duarte, who is 24 years old and 198 height. Centimeters, front guard swings people, are these attributes familiar? Yes, it is almost the same as Kobe , except that Kobe entered NBA at the age of 18. The Pacers also attach great importance to this newcomer. In today's game, let him play as the sixth man. In the 8th minute of the first quarter, he came off the bench. In the 30 seconds near the end of the first quarter, Duarte used a three-pointer to get his first point in the preseason. Thanks to Kobe's strong blessing, the 13th pick in the first round became a counterattack position. In recent years, there have been three rising stars Mitchell , LaVine, and Booker . They now have one more person. I wonder who can carry the Mamba banner?
Gasol announced his retirement on October 5th. In his retiring speech, he mentioned Kobe, crying in memory of this old partner, let us cherish the memory of the boss with his wife. The boss is safe, heaven abuses food! Can the father-daughter match come again?
Like Kobe’s No. 2 overall pick
Pacer’s Duarte is 24 years old,The posture and skills are basically formed. Unlike the 18-year-old Kobe, the potential is unlimited. The 19-year-old Jaylen Green chosen by the Rockets is really like Kobe. In the Rockets and Wizards game, Green started on the field, facing Kuzma's defense, breaking through the layup smoothly and sharply, but his shooting ability still needs to be strengthened. He made 4 of 14 shots in the audience and did not shoot 6 three-pointers. Hit, played 27 minutes, only scored 12 points, is this also very similar to Kobe who just came to the NBA? Compared with Green, Duarte, who scored 15 points, seems more efficient.
The Rockets' best performance is the point guard Jr. Kevin Porter . He scored 25 points in 28 minutes and made 9 of 17 shots and 5 of 10 three-pointers. As a third-year rookie, his performance is very outstanding, today led the Rockets to reverse the Wizards. I hope Green can learn more from this young predecessor and pass the rookie season smoothly. In the interview, Jr. Kevin Porter said that he would bring a championship trophy to the Rockets, and the Rockets twins are exciting.
MVP in the MVP: Morant
In today’s game, in addition to the excellent performance of Kevin Porter mentioned above, there is also Knicks’ Randall. LaVine of the Bulls is the best player of the day. Randall scored 20 points and 9 rebounds and made 7 of 14 shots. His efficiency was very high and he helped the Knicks beat the Pacers.
LaVine played 24 minutes, made 9 of 14 shots, got 25 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists. The PTS reached +45, which was the highest since the start of the preseason. Driven by LaVine, all the Bulls performed very well. The first five players had positive and negative values above +30. They created the biggest difference in the three days of the game: 36 points. It has to be said that the Cavaliers performed too badly. The first 5 players were all negative, with an average of -26. The Cavaliers made 30 of 84 shots and 10 of 33 three-pointers. The defense is poor, the offense is worse, and the new season has to pull the hips again.
Among these outstanding players,Morant's performance is the best. He played 24 minutes, scored 27 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists, made 11 of 18 shots, and had a Tomahawk buckle against Lopez, which made the audience very enjoyable.
However, this passion disappeared in the fourth quarter. The last quarter of the game was cancelled because of the failure of the Grizzlies' smoke detector at home. However, Morant had a rest in the final period of the third quarter. It is estimated that he will not play in the fourth quarter. After all, it is a preseason game and there is no need to fight like that. Some time ago, Morant once said that he wanted to buckle James, and I don't know if it can be achieved in the new season. If alphabet brother is present today, will this superb buckle be converted into a large-scale social death scene, a rich hot pot feast?
