Beijing time on January 3! Today, Lakers player Malik Munch was interviewed by reporters. Talking about not many teams pursuing themselves offseasons, Munch admits that it makes him uncomfortable.
"There was no team other than the Lakers who really wanted to sign me at the time, which hit me a lot. I just used it as an incentive, and I waited for the opportunity to prove that I belonged to this alliance. Speaking about joining the Lakers with a base salary and pursuing to prove himself, Munch said: "You always have to put treasure on yourself.
In yesterday's game, Munch continued his excellent form, scoring the team's second-highest 22 points to help the team win the final game. Looking at Munch's performance after his return, it proves that the Lakers' choice this season is correct, according to statistics, Munch has scored a total of 100 points in 5 games after his return, averaging 20 points per game, and Munch's shooting rate after his return is as high as 57.4%, of which the outside three-point shooting rate is 42.4%, and the free throw shooting rate is as high as 100% in 16. In the 5 games in Which munch returned, he had a plus-minus of +66 during his time on the pitch.
Munch is one of the few young players in the Lakers, a 2017 draft player, who joined the Lakers for $1.79 million in the offseason, and averaged 11.3 points, 2.7 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 25.3 minutes per game for the Lakers this season, shooting 37.3% from three-point range.
Interestingly, it was mentioned why the left arm was covered with tattoos, while the right arm was completely tattooed at all. Munch said that when he was 17 years old, he heard Nick Young say that he only had tattoos on his left arm because his right arm was a shooter and "only for shooting." Therefore, Munch decided to emulate Nick Young. It is worth mentioning that Nick Young also had a tattoo on his right arm at the end of his career, and he has now faded out of the league.
