No. 1 Flag, the question was broken in just one game
It is reported that the Mavericks are no longer ready to let Flag play in the remaining summer league, and the summer league mission of the No. 1 pick has been completed. It is even possible that Flag has finished his last summer league in his career.
's debut against the Lakers was completely a "hot spot battle" arranged by the league. Flagg VS Brownie's gimmick made this game sell the highest ticket price in summer league history. With overwhelming attention, Flag really didn't play well.
Flag played for 31 minutes, made 5 of 21 shots, 0 of 5 three-pointers, scored 10 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals and 1 block. It is indeed a bit eye-catching if you don’t make a shot from the outside, and the overall efficiency is also relatively low.
There was a round where Flag played Brownie with his back. Flag took the initiative to exert force three times, but failed to push Brownie. Then Brownie broke the ball out of bounds. But Flag soon made a mid-range shot on Brownie's head and found the game back.
When I saw this round, the first thing I thought of was that Brownie became much stronger again. Neither of these two were in the same position, but Brownie's strength was at all. As for Flag's failure to push Brownie, I didn't extend it much, after all, the confrontation between college and the NBA is completely different.
But some fans who love to watch the fun began to say that Flag was good after Flag's debut. Not to mention the summer league game that cannot explain anything at all. First of all, you have to know that this game is considered to be Flag playing outside his comfort zone.
Kidd previously said that Flag would try playing point guard. Flag was basically responsible for the task of holding the ball, and he played more in the fourth position in college, and he was more in the end point. As a brand new attempt, it is normal for Flag to be whatever he wants.
I don't know if I saw some doubts. Yesterday, facing the second game of the second-place pick Harper, Flag obviously reduced the task of holding the ball and began to enter the comfort zone as the end point of the offense, so we saw a No. 1 pick who let go and opened and closed.
Flag played for 31 minutes, made 10 of 20 shots, 3 of 8 three-pointers and scored 31 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block. Faced with the Spurs' pressing, Flag was more adaptable than the first game. After the game, Flag said that his possession of the ball was quite stable and he was not used to being defended by high pressure.
This game basically showed Flag's abilities in all aspects. His breakthroughs in his left and right hands were very balanced, and the finishing touch of both hands was excellent. He caused 13 free throws in the whole game, and his ability to kill and damage was placed there. He was not afraid of physical confrontation at all. He had room to take off and dunk, and his style of play was quite violent.
0 of 5 three-pointers in the first game, and 3 of 8 three-pointers in the second game. Flag adapted to the NBA-level range quite smoothly. His 3-pointers are better than those who hold the ball, which shows that he has a very solid basic skills. As for the conversion and offense, it is even more of his comfort zone, and he is very good at working at high altitudes.
So the doubts after the first game disappeared after yesterday's game. Flag completed all the indicators in one game, and got off work in the summer league. This plot is very similar to the literary class.
Wenban made his debut in summer league in 23 years, with only 2 of 13 shots, 9 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists and 5 blocks, 1 of 6 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, and 3 mistakes. There was also a scene where Wenban was dunked in that game.
But immediately after the next game, Wenban Yama handed over a report card of 27 points, 12 rebounds and 3 blocks, which was also the last summer league game in Wenban's career. The No. 1 pick in the draft in the past four years has only played two summer league games before resting. Just show off your talent on the first stage of the NBA.
Compared to Flag's summer league, I look forward to Flag's preseason. After all, in the summer league, he is still the absolute top player in the team and has unlimited firepower. But when he really plays with the Mavericks' main lineup, the situation will be different.
When he plays with Davis, Russell, Clay, and Irving, who returns, the defensive pressure Flag faces much less. If possible, he does not have to undertake the team's main scoring tasks or the main organizational tasks, so that his contributions in other aspects will become more and more prominent.
I am looking forward to Flag's progress on the defensive end. In the first two stages of my career, I will create an all-round forward line, lay a solid foundation on the defensive end, and then slowly hone my offensive skills. This is my expectation route for Flag.
Many people say that Flag's template is the original all-round forward Kirirenko, but Flag's possibility is much greater than Kirirenko, and the latter may be just Flag's lower limit.
He is the first truly white No. 1 pick in the NBA since 48, and the expectations he has carried are much greater than he thought.
