On September 26, Beijing time, it is getting closer and closer to the start of the new season in the NBA, and the training camps of each team will gradually open in the near future, but just today, there have been some "small accidents" on the Wizards side - according to the well-known journalist Shams, Wizards forward Yamura Lei will be out indefinitely due to personal reasons.
The Wizards then officially confirmed the news, saying that Hachimura would at least miss the start of the camp, and the Wizards' training camp will officially open next Wednesday, preseason on October 6, and the first game of the regular season is October 21.
It should be said that the Wizards official also did not give the specific reason for the absence of the eight villages, until now, the domestic and foreign social media are speculating about what happened to the eight villages.
Some fans speculated that Hachimura may have won the new crown, because the official message given by Paul when he was diagnosed with the new crown last season was also "indefinitely absent", but according to the previous situation, if a player is diagnosed with the new crown, it is generally not said to be "personal reasons".
There is gossip that the Yamura family had a car accident, which has not been verified at home and abroad, and the credibility is not high. But judging from past experience and examples, the "personal reason" argument is often that someone in the family has an accident or is sick, and judging from some foreign news comments, there are indeed many fans praying for Yamura and his family.
The reason is unknown, but we hope that Hachimura can return as soon as possible.
Last season, Yamura played in 57 games for the Wizards, averaging 31.5 minutes per game, scoring 13.8 points, 5.5 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 0.8 steals, shooting 47.8%/32.8%/77.0% of the three and shooting 54.9% of the true shooting.
Looking at the data may be almost interesting, but throughout the season, the performance of Yamura base is actually gradually improving, and in the 30 games after the All-Star Game, Hachimura base can average 15.1 points per game, shooting percentage increased to 49.3%, and three-point shooting rate increased to 35.3%.
Among them, in March, Hachimura could average 17.0 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 0.9 steals per game in a single month, shooting 50.8% from the field, 40.0% from three-point range, and 57.7% from the true shooting rate, during which he scored 20+ in five times, including a career-high single-game 30 points.
Compared with other potential rookies of the same year, Hachimura's performance at this stage may not be particularly outstanding, but at least he has sat on the Wizards' starting point of view, and from the perspective of the game, he has made some progress at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, especially at the defensive end, his lateral footsteps and awareness of changing defenses have increased a lot, and in some games, Hachimura lei even needs to go against the opponent's arrow players, such as James, Durant, Leonard.
The development direction of Hachimura may be the forward defender, his height is 2 meters 03, the arm span is 2 meters 19, this figure can be in most of the league's third and fourth positions, has the potential to become the next defensive gate, and his enthusiasm is very high, last season averaged 6.8 times per game to interfere with the number of shots, this number ranked 58th in the league, interference three-point shots 3.1 times, the league 28th.
Of course, there are also shortcomings in Yamura,000,his offense is still not stable enough, he relies more on the inside to eat cake, and the assist rate is also high - this is also related to the Wizards' lineup last season, if you can develop some techniques and improve some efficiency on the offensive end, Yamura will become a better player.
At present, I still hope that the eight villages can return as soon as possible.
One of the main reasons is that the Wizards changed coaches this offseason, Hachimura needs to adapt to the new system early, and there have been some changes in the Wizards' lineup, with Kuzma coming in the fourth place, which may bring some competition to Yamura.
According to previous news, Yatsumura's new season will still be the team's starting point, but Kuzma's arrival may allow Yamura to appear in the center position - this is a new challenge for Yatsumura, maybe next season, we can see a completely different Yamura.
