The No. 1 pick is the second place! Flagg hits 31+4, Harper is both offensive and defensive, but the No. 14 Spurs are out of sight

On July 13, at 4 a.m. today, the summer league ushered in a key battle. The Mavericks played against the Spurs, which was also a head-on conversation between the 25th No. 1 pick and the No. 2 pick. In this game, Harper and Flag both showed their own characteristics, and Flag can be regarded as a key player for himself. Next, let’s briefly talk about the game process and then talk about some things I saw from the game.

Match Review:

At the beginning of the first quarter, Carey scored 6 points in a row with free throws to help the Mavericks take the lead. The Spurs did not start well on the start, but after they came on the bench, the Spurs overtook the score, and the Spurs led by 10 points after the first quarter. When Flag saw his teammates' offense in the second quarter, he stood up and showed the potential of the star. He scored 8 points in a row to help the team catch up with the score difference. Harper scored 2+1 at the end of the quarter to help the Spurs lead by 1 point and end the first half.

The change of sides again showed his ability to control the field and seized opportunities to break through and kill. The team's substitutes also made another effort in this quarter. Garcia scored 9 points and 2 assists in a single quarter. Driven by the two, the Spurs expanded their lead to 10 points again after the third quarter. In the final quarter, his teammates were still not good, and Flag also stood up again. He hit three-pointers in a row to help the team narrow the gap, but under Harper's control, the Mavericks were also powerless to make the situation come true. In the end, the Spurs defeated the Mavericks 76-69.

Frager's talent is fully demonstrated

After the game, let's talk about the Mavericks first. It is understandable that the Mavericks lost today. They can play too few players, and Flag was considered to have successfully inspected the goods. It is estimated that he also saw the posts yesterday that Yang Hansen was stronger than the No. 1 pick, so Flag ignited his fighting spirit. In this game, he proved that this young man's physical fitness is indeed too explosive. He directly dunked when facing the defense step, and the top shot from outside the three-point line was also opened.

In this game, he made 10 of 21 shots, 3 of 9 three-pointers, scored 31 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 steal. Because he had many free throws in this game, many netizens even joked about the template Alexander. But to be honest, it is understandable that Flag was able to get these free throws. His style of play is a bit like the time when he was young. It is normal for James to get more free throws. In addition, he is the son of the new generation of the United States, so it is appropriate to get more free throws, and the referee will give some special care.

Flag's game proves why he is the No. 1 pick. He may not be the player with the highest ceiling in the 25th class, but he is definitely the best in this class to date. He has no shortcomings on the offensive end, can hold the ball and kill, has three-point ability, and has a certain mid-range distance. He has a rich offensive arsenal and a good defensive awareness. He staged a scene of chasing the hat in the game. In this game, Flag proved himself. It is estimated that the Mavericks of Xia Lian may not let him play.

Harper is both offensive and defensive

Next to the Spurs. Harper also performed very well in this game. He made 5 of 12 shots in the game, 0 of 4 three-pointers, scored 16 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 1 block. The scout report said that he was not good at three-pointers, but now it is really up to be developed, but fortunately he dares to shoot. It can be said that Harper's first summer league match reached the level everyone expected. A very smart and excellent ball-holding core with excellent offense and defense is definitely worth training from the Spurs.

He only played 19 minutes in this game and played such data. It is really okay to say that he templates Harden. He has a good control ability. A rookie knows when to do what. This is the embodiment of the ball maker and the ability that a top ball holder should have. Harper’s most surprising thing is his defensive ability and attitude. He leads the defender in the whole game and makes mistakes, and he dares to come forward to fight when facing a big man.

It is reported that after Harper joined the Spurs, Ginobili has been guiding him to play, which is great for Harper. First of all, his first season with the Spurs is probably the sixth man. After all, Fox holds the ball in the starting lineup, and Castle is also in the backcourt. Harper is likely to play as a substitute, and Ginobili plays the sixth man. The key is that Ginobili can improve his game experience and grow faster.

However, Carter Bryant, who was selected by the Spurs with the No. 14 pick, has been unsatisfied with his recent performance. The young man's defense is indeed great. He has a big hat today and has the potential to become a top defender in the future, but his offense still needs to be improved. Xia Lian is a model worker so far. He has played in Xia Lian for 4 games. Although the sample is still not large, it can be seen that a player's strengths and weaknesses are. Xia Lian has averaged 5.8 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per game, with a shooting percentage of only 20.7%, and 18.2% of three-pointers.

Yes, you read that right. The offensive efficiency in summer league games is so poor. Wouldn't it be even worse to enter the regular season? He needs the Spurs to have enough patience to train them. The Spurs chose him was a mistake. Now he is not a top 3D, but more like a Seble who only knows how to defend. Having said that, what do you want to say about this game?
