Although the whole game was mediocre, the former Clippers inside player hit a key three-pointer?

Basketball

In the previous men's basketball European Championship final, the German team narrowly defeated Turkey 88-83 and won the European Championship. The Turkish team, which performed well in this European Championship, was somewhat regrettably ranked second.

Although the German team won the game, the team's starting center Daniel Theis's performance was actually very unsatisfactory. Thes played 19 minutes and 36 seconds in the game, made 1 of 3 shots and 1 of 1 from outside the three-point line, scored 3 points, 5 rebounds and 1 assist, and had 2 turnovers and 4 fouls, with a plus-negative value of +6. Thes lacks basic contributions on the offensive end, and he cannot show his scoring ability. It can be said that he is completely restricted by his opponent. In addition, Thes's performance on the defensive end is also very unsatisfactory, and he has not shown his ability to defend the inside and rebounding. Overall, Thes' performance did not meet everyone's expectations. However, at the critical moment of the game, he hit a key three-pointer, which largely determined the team's victory. I have to say that although Thes' data is average, he has also made his own contribution to the team's victory.

During this European Championship, Theis played 9 games in total, with averaging 19.7 minutes per game, averaging 10.2 points, 6.4 rebounds, 0.8 assists, 1 block, and 0.8 turnovers and 3.6 fouls. His shooting percentage was 69.1%, a three-point shooting percentage of 44.4%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 80%. Thes' overall performance during the European Championships was actually quite good. He was able to get a lot of points as support when the ball was limited, and he was able to maintain sufficient and stable offensive efficiency and three-point shooting percentage, which is quite difficult. Thes is also diligent on the defensive end and can also use his enthusiasm and vitality to play some role on the court. Although Thes was in modest form in the final, he still showed his big heart and calmness at critical moments.

Thes was born in April 1992 and is 33 years old, 203cm tall and weighs 111kg. He was the undrafted in the 2013 NBA Draft. Theis played in the NBA for many years. He has played for the Boston Celtics, the Chicago Bulls, the Houston Rockets, the Indiana Pacers, the Los Angeles Clippers and the New Orleans Pelicans, and has played quite well when playing for many teams. However, Thes chose to leave the NBA field in the second half of last season and returned to Europe to play. Judging from the actual situation, this choice is definitely a correct choice. This choice helped Theis get a stable playing time, his condition can be maintained at a good level, and he can continue to serve as the starting center of the German team. For some players, perhaps leaving the NBA arena is not necessarily a bad thing?
