Croatian naturalized players: I don't even know where Croatia is!
American naturalized defender Jaleen Smith, who is currently representing Croatia at the European Championships, was interviewed by the media. Talking about why he should play for Croatia, Smith said: "If a national team invites you to join, will you miss this good opportunity? I didn't even know where Croatia was before the European Championships, and that was my first time in Croatia.
So far, Smith has averaged 11 points, 2.6 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 1.6 steals per game in the European Championships, shooting 39.6 percent from the field, 36.4 percent from three-point range and 81.8 percent from the free throw line. Judging from the content of the game, Smith has a good outside projection ability, but also has a certain breakthrough ability and passing and organization ability. With his help, Croatia also managed to reach the round of 16 of the European Championship.
Croatia have a number of strong wing players and interior players in the squad, and the overall strength of the team is quite good, but the problem is that they lack a player who is good enough to be the number one player, which is also the biggest shortcoming of the team before, and affects the team's ceiling. With the arrival of Smith, the weakest link in the Croatian squad has finally been strengthened, and the overall strength of the team has been greatly improved, and they have finally become no short board.
It is worth mentioning that shortly before the start of the European Championships, Smith, who has played in Europe for many years, has just obtained a Croatian passport. In the previous pre-European Championship warm-up match, he made his debut for Croatia. However, from the current situation, Smith has established a foothold in the Croatian team, he also has the full trust of his teammates, maybe he can lead this Croatian team to create glory?
