Venbanyama ends the summer union trip
Mike Finger pointed out that the Spurs' long-term plan has been to play in two summer league games, hoping that Ventanyama can feel what it's like to play in the NBA. The Spurs have seen what they want to see, and after a busy season in Ligue 1, the Spurs are going to give Venbanyama a little time off.
Venbanyama played in two Summer League games, shooting 2-of-13 from the field in his debut, scoring 9 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists and 5 blocks, and rebounded significantly in the second game, shooting 9-of-14 from the field for 27 points, 12 rebounds, 1 steal and 3 blocks. After his debut, Venbanyama said: "I really don't know what I'm doing in this game." Shams said: "The first race was difficult for Venbanyama and he even said 'I didn't know what I was doing'. From a mindset point of view, in this league, it's good to have such a mindset. ”
Commenting on the performance in the second game, Venbanyama said: "I personally think it's normal to improve every game. Two days ago was my first race. But I wish we could win the game! I think I can do more to help the team win the game. We have to keep learning, we have three quarters that haven't played at our best. But in the fourth quarter, we had the advantage of the field, which showed the resilience of the team. ”
Smith and Ethan may not fight either
Rockets reporter Iko reports that sophomores Jabari Smith Jr. and Ethan are likely not playing in Summer League again. In the previous two Summer League games, Smith averaged 35.5 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists per game, and Ethan averaged 23 points, 9.5 rebounds and 4 assists per game.
In the second game against the Pistons, Smith blew Wiseman and spewed trash after hitting a three-point shot in front of him. Speaking about what he said to Wiseman, Smith said: "I don't want to repeat it, we just sprayed each other with some trash talk during the game. I'm sure they'll remember the next time they play us, and I'm looking forward to it. ”
Smith hit a 0.6-second three-point shot in the first game and another 38-point highlight in the second game, and the 20-year-old has improved significantly and played more confidently.
In a previous interview, Smith said: "This (becoming a summer league MVP) is definitely my goal. However, I want a championship more than an MVP. It's going to be fun to win the summer league title and I feel like if I win I'm pretty sure I'm going to win the MVP, let's wait and see. ”
Now it seems that the Rockets are no longer going to visit Smith and Eason, and their summer trip is likely over. Rocket reporters posted videos of them and Dillon training three-point bottom-corner points together, and everyone shot well.
