In an NBA Summer League game that ended today, the Portland Trail Blazers beat the Hornets 93-86 to make the opening goal.
On the Blazers' lineup, we can see a number of old acquaintances:
The best performance was the former foreign player of the CBA Jiangsu team, Blakeney, who came off the bench and scored 27 points on 9-of-10.
Other acquaintances include: Mudiel, Michael Beasley...
Digo wanted to focus on this person: Faried, and now he is a member of the Summer League.
To say that, the former half-orc, flying on the field, is the MVP of the rookie challenge, relying on the physical fitness of the anti-heaven, and gaining a foothold in the Denver athletics team.
The 2011 No. 22 pick was also once the core of the Nuggets' interior line, and was deeply used under George Carr.
At the peak of the half-orc's career, Chang Kun can get 13.7 points and 8.6 rebounds, and the vitality he shows on the court is impressive.
In 2014, he also represented the U.S. men's basketball team Dream Team in the Men's Basketball World Cup, winning the championship and being selected for the Best Team.
At his peak, his enthusiasm and ability to eat bread were too cattle...
But the last time the half-orc made his appearance in the NBA was to go back to the 18-19 season, when he was 30 years old, he couldn't get an NBA contract.
The last stop at that time was the Houston Rockets, and during that time on the Rockets, he played quite well.
However, no team was willing to give him a chance.
Later, he had the experience of CBA. Even then, it wasn't pleasant.
In Guangsha, Zhejiang, he played in 7 games for the team, averaging 17.3 points and 10 rebounds per game. As the most expensive foreign aid at that time, this did not meet expectations.
So the question is, half-orc this type of player, why didn't he understand?
The reason is that as his physical athleticism has declined, his weaknesses have been exposed: he is not tall enough, has no ability to attack autonomously, and suffers too much on the defensive end.
After this summer league, I don't know if he can find an opportunity.
Today's game, he got 8 points and 8 rebounds...
