The NBA preseason continues today with the Memphis Grizzlies taking on the Chicago Bulls. In this game, the Grizzlies have a lot of main players absent, such as Morant, Bane, Aldama, Kennard, Jackson II, etc., so the playing time of some marginal people will be greatly increased.
Yuki Kawamura, a small guard from the Japan men's basketball team, played nearly 24 minutes in this game, and this is his best chance to prove himself. With only 173 centimeters tall, it will be very difficult for him to play in the NBA, and he will have to take advantage of the limited opportunities.
In this game, Kawamura's strengths and weaknesses were very obvious, and he delivered 8 assists throughout the game to revitalize the team. Kawamura's passing is actually very imaginative, relatively in place, and his passing technique is very good, and he can always send the ball to the right teammates in unexpected ways.
In the latter minute of the game, Kawamura stepped to the free throw line and made both free throws to help the Grizzlies beat the Bulls 124-121. But with the advantages out of the way, it's time to talk about the disadvantages. Yuki Kawamura's attack power is really poor because he is too short.
In the whole game, Yuki Kawamura shot 0 of 5, all three-pointers, and only scored 2 points from free throws. After three preseason games, Yuki Kawamura shot 1 of 11 in a total of 11 sports battles, and the iron was out of the sky. You know, the other player who shot 1 of 11 in this year's NBA playoffs was the rookie guard Bronny of the Los Angeles Lakers.
Although Kawamura passes well, he is too short to break through to the inside layup or shoot close to the three-point line. It can be said that Yuki Kawamura wants to play in the NBA regular season, and it is very difficult.
