After 290 days, the Japanese genius Yatsumura finally made a starter on the Wizards, and the last time Hachimura made a start was last year's playoffs. Hachimura was absent for a while this season due to off-court reasons, and only returned to the team in the middle of the season, but Hachimura's ability to adjust well was good, and he quickly showed his super talent. Without these messy reasons off the pitch, Hachimura would have taken off this year.
It is often said that rookies watch for three years, and this season is the third year of yamura's career. Although the data since the return of Hachimura is not very prominent, but the efficiency is very terrible, today's game against the Lakers Hachimura started, 25 minutes to score 10 points, shooting nearly 60%. This season, Yamura has averaged 10 points and 3 rebounds in less than 20 minutes per game, shooting 49.7% from the field and a terrifying 48.7% from three-point range, with 1.2 shots per game.
The Wizards have joined with a number of players this season, and Yamura was unable to start when he first returned because his playing time was occupied. Avdia and Kuzma both have the ability to play the starter, Yamura is not in a hurry to slowly find form on the bench, Hachimura's offense this season is simplified, three-point shooting and the end of the interior are his offensive main dishes, and he is very efficient. Especially for three-pointers, the three-pointers of Yamura base in the past two seasons can only be described as passing. His three-point shooting rate in his rookie season is even less than 30%, and now Yamura has become the league's best three-point shooter, which may have made a lot of unknown efforts.
Yamura's self-propelled offensive ability is also getting stronger, and in college, Yamura has a very good face-frame attack technique and low-post singles technique, and he has been able to show his skills in the Wizards. Yamura is very good at playing big and small, his physical talent is already good, there is speed and confrontation, and there is a good explosive power, most of the outside players can not match the height of Yamura. The speed of the inside players cannot match the speed of Yamura, and if you can strengthen your offensive skills, Yamura may become a very good offensive player.
In fact, the Wizards should have let the eight villages baseball start earlier, compared with Kuzma, the outside projection of the eight village bases is more stable, and compared with Avdia, the eight village bases are in a complete victory at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, so that he and Kuzma will play the starting Wizards' forward depth will be further improved. Combined with Pop and Porzingis, this lineup is still very competitive.
In the second half of the season, in addition to slowly finding their own form, Yamura can also use this to improve their weaknesses, such as Yamura's passing ability is not very strong. At this stage, many forward players in the league have the ability to dominate the ball autonomously, and Yamura can dominate the ball but does not have a good ability to divide the ball, and he can only be present as an endpoint. That's the biggest difference between him and Kuzma, who can handle the ball. Second, Yamura's defensive level still has a lot of room for improvement, this season he has averaged 0.7 steals per game, and the number of blocks is even lower than 0.2, considering his height and mobile talent, the number of blocks can be a little more. The Wizards fans have been absent for a long time, and Yamura, a Japanese genius, has finally returned to the starting lineup. In the absence of injuries and off-court factors, the future of Yamura-based must be bright. Dear readers, how do you evaluate Yamura's performance this season?
