10-012 shots against the Trail Blazers! Guangdong abandoned the player and played 5 CBA games, completely losing confidence?

Last season, when Guangdong team signed foreign aid Arms, the latter was once regarded as a combination of Mashan + Wilms. During his 23-24 season with the Grizzlies Development League team Memphis Rapids, Ames averaged 16.7 points, 6.1 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game, and his three-point shooting percentage was as high as 40.3%, which is indeed good from the data.

As a result, when he came to the CBA, Arms encountered serious disagreement. He was cut in just 5 games, averaging 10.2 points, 1.6 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game, and his shooting percentage and three-point shooting percentage were only 32.6% and 26.9% respectively, which was not even the same as Barton, who was cut by Guangdong before.

And after being laid off, Ames was unable to find a job again. In this year's NBA Summer United, Arms played for the Rockets. If it weren't for the recent game when they met the Trail Blazers led by Yang Hansen, many fans might have forgotten this "Guangdong abandoned player". After the entire game, the Rockets lost to the Trail Blazers 83-102. During the 31-minute starting time, Ames made 2 of 12 and 1 of 5 three-pointers, only scored 8 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists, with a plus-negative value of -13. In an unguarded dunk, Ames actually dunked the ball away.

This summer United, Arms played 3 games for the Rockets. During his 28 minutes of playing time, he had only 14.7 points, 4.7 rebounds and 3.7 assists, with his shooting percentage and three-point shooting percentages of 37.1% and 17.6%, respectively, which is basically the same as when he played in Guangdong.

For Ames, after coming to the CBA last season, he may have suffered a serious setback in self-confidence after encountering high-intensity confrontation, which also affected his performance in the summer league. If it is really because of joining the CBA, then Arms wants to go to other leagues to make gold, and the prospects are not optimistic. In the California Classic Game last summer, Arms helped the Kings defeat the Lakers 108-94, scoring 32 points, 11 rebounds and 5 assists. Many CBA scouts may have recommended Ames to Guangdong because of that game. As a result, this forward-guard who seemed to have both offense and defense encountered the darkest period of his career when he came to the CBA. He made 1 of 7 shots in the CBA and scored only 2 points in his debut. In the game against Shanxi, although he scored the best 17 points in his CBA career, he made only 4 of 11 shots in that game, and none of his 5 games shots exceeded 45%. One of the important reasons why Arms never found his next company after being laid off by Guangdong is probably the flaws and poor data sheets he exposed in the CBA. During the offseason, I wanted to return to my value through the summer league, but Ams, who was 27 years old, still couldn't find his previous self-confidence, which also made many fans feel sad.
