At the end of the game, the score was fixed at 124-121.
In the NBA preseason, the Grizzlies narrowly defeated the Bulls by 3 points.
There is no doubt that the reason why everyone will pay attention to this game is to see the performance of Japan men's basketball player Yuki Kawamura in the Grizzlies.
Next, let's open up his technical statistics.
Playing time of 23 minutes and 48 seconds, compared to the last game against the Hornets 9 minutes, this game has a "geometric" increase in playing time.
Generally speaking, the reason for such a change is that the player's performance on the pitch has won more trust from the manager, making the manager willing to give him so many opportunities.
From the offensive end, 0 of 5 shots, all of which came from outside the three-point line, were really not ideal, but they relied on free throws to score all 2 points in the game.
However, he dished out a team-high eight assists on the court.
And fans who watched the game know that these 8 assists can be called exquisite.
It gives people the feeling of watching Nash play in his prime.
Of course, it's just about the pass.
It would not be unusual to say that these moments happened to defenders of other races.
But it's kind of interesting that all of this happened to an Asian defender of the yellow race.
After all, the entire Asian men's basketball team has hardly seen such a performance for so many years.
In the past, in some international competitions, such as the World Cup and the Olympic Games, Yuki Kawamura gave everyone a lot of surprises.
Maybe at the beginning, our domestic fans were a little dismissive, thinking that the height of 172 cm, even if it was good, how good could it be.
However, with the comparison of the guard players of our Chinese men's basketball team, everyone has to admit that Kawamura Yonghui is indeed good.
However, the international arena is not the same as the NBA.
Many players who have been in the international arena are not accustomed to the NBA.
What's more, Kawamura Yonghui himself does have a natural disadvantage in height and weight, and higher-level basketball events will infinitely magnify his personal shortcomings.
Objectively speaking, this is indeed the fulfillment of this point.
Judging from these games, Kawamura's level on the offensive end is still a certain gap from the NBA.
To be precise, the level of defense faced is different, and the stability shown in the end is indeed different.
The main thing is that when he represented the Japan men's basketball team in the World Series, he was the absolute core of that team, with almost unlimited firing rights, and there was less pressure on the offensive end.
And when it comes to the Grizzlies, he is just a marginal ordinary player, and the number of shots he takes is very limited.
This is also due to the fact that he is a No.1 player, who has an innate advantage in touching and handling the ball, otherwise the chances of shooting would be better.
In this way, it is extremely challenging to hit the rate.
To put it bluntly, if you don't score the first time, the next second shot will be very stressful, after all, if you can't shoot again, you may wonder if the head coach should replace him.
Speaking of which, I would like to praise Kawamura for two points.
The first point is that he didn't deliberately shoot because of his bad hand, as long as the opportunity was reasonable, as long as he thought he could shoot, he basically didn't hesitate and wander.
This should be appreciated by the manager.
After all, compared to not being able to invest, not daring to invest is the most troublesome.
The second point is that the offensive end is not in good shape, and actively uses the playmaking end to help the team, which leads to the 8 assists we mentioned earlier.
Indeed, each position on the field, in addition to scoring in the first task, has its own "auxiliary characteristics".
Defenders are holding the ball and passing, forwards are defending and responding, interior guards and rebounds, and so on.
It can be said that the role of each person is not absolutely "singular".
This requires everyone to be very focused and committed to every moment.
At the end of the game, plus/minus will step up and answer all your questions.
In this game, Yuki Kawamura's plus/minus is +17, the second highest on the team.
The others dare not say, at least at this stage, the number one defender in Asia should be him.
