On July 25, the Thunder beat Green Kai 98-84 to win the warm-up game, and the Thunder suppressed Green Kai in this game, both the first team and the second team. A warm-up match can not see the real strength of the team, the coach is concerned about the competitive state of the players who debut, so that it is better to line up the troops in the official resumption stage, the core of the green Kai in this game, Kemba Walker, the rotation of Romeo Mumford did not play because of gastrointestinal discomfort, Vincent Poisier did not play (September to return to France, the wife's due date is September), Takofar did not play (for unknown reasons).
Taco Fall is a player that Boston fans love very much, many fans are very eager to see Farr become a Celtic rotation, after all, Farr has a height of 2.26 meters + 2.49 meters arm span, fans think that Farr is the x factor of the green Kai's inside line, he can improve the offensive and defensive strength of the green Kai inside line, but in such a game, coach Stevens still did not let Taco Farr play any minute, several five-seat rotation Dennis Theis 15 minutes, Innes Kante 13 minutes, Robert Williams played 16 minutes, and another two-way contract player, Waters, played 16 minutes, which disappointed many Green Kai fans.
Taco Fall has no injury problems, he has been training with the team after the resumption, not long ago he and Carson Edwards, Romeo Langford and the two wearing masks in the park cycling, that is to say, in Stevens's rotation will not have Pharr's seat, the rematch warm-up game does not have his chance to perform, into the rematch after the rotation is a fantasy, so Farr became a green Kai rematch x factor has become empty talk.
On July 21, Green Kai teammate Robert Williams praised Taco Fall, saying: "Farr doesn't want most people to think of him as a 7-foot long man who can't move, you can see with the naked eye that he is improving, he trains very hard, he wants to succeed in many aspects." But not all efforts can be seen, Pharr's movement speed is indeed slow, in the summer league, development league feel that he can not keep up with the rhythm of the NBA, this season he has only played in 6 junk hours in the regular season.
This season, Faldo has been in the development league, he played in the Green Kai's maine red paws, averaging 23.3 minutes per game, 12.9 points, 11.1 rebounds and 2.9 blocks, shooting 70.1%, his shots were all concentrated in the three-second zone, French center Poirier averaged 26 minutes per game in the development league, 16.5 points, 9.9 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 3 blocks, shooting 62.2%, 50% from three-point shooting, his performance is actually better than Tal, and he also has three-point shooting ability, Such an elderly person as Farr may really be unsuitable for the rhythm of the NBA, and this summer Lu Kai will most likely not renew his contract, knowing that Farr is 25 years old, and he has no room for growth.
