"Luke, you're too nervous, take it easy, you should learn more from Doon.

It's okay, there's your playing time coming up.

You don't have to do anything else, just take the ball from Doon and throw it in the basket. ”

Kupchak did not continue to pay attention to Doon, who was on the field, but kept talking to comfort Wharton Jr., who was sitting on the bench and sweating profusely.

is also a "relation" signed by Kupchak, and Wharton Jr. played 5 minutes in the first quarter before being withdrawn by Rambis.

This is mainly because he wasted too many opportunities, basically shooting in the open position, but he shot 0 of 3.

In addition to the scoring data, the others only scored 1 rebound, which can be said to be a very disastrous performance.

Looking at Doon, who is still on the court to play, he has made 3 of 4 shots, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 8 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 steal.

You must know that the first quarter is not over yet, and the summer league is 10 minutes long.

Doon's high offensive efficiency, coupled with a solid defensive performance, can occasionally read the game and assist his teammates.

Such a mature performance, not like a rookie at all!

At first, Kupchak was worried that Doon would not be able to adapt to the pace of the summer league game when he first arrived.

But now listening to the cheers of the crowd on the sidelines from time to time for Doon, watching Doon play so easily on the court.

There's no superfluous thought at all, lick it and you're done!

"Pass that damn basketball to Doon!"

Seeing that Udoka missed a three-pointer in the open position, Sampson grabbed the offensive rebound, and Kupchak immediately stood up from the bench in a hurry.

In the next second, Sampson understood and passed the ball to Doon, who cut the basket in the air.

After Dunn took the ball, he jumped and dunked at the basket.

"Doon, Doon, Doon!"

The temperature in the Pyramid Stadium seemed to rise several degrees at once, and most of the fans at the scene were stimulated by Doon's amazing slam dunk and stood up from their seats at once.

Feeling the enthusiastic and exciting atmosphere of the scene, Kupchak is also proud and secretly refreshing.

"Speaking of which, thanks to Mr. Jerry! If it weren't for him, how would we have gotten Doon? ”

Before the first quarter was played, Doon had already scored a double-double, and seeing the wonderful performance in this quarter, Kupchak knew that Doon would definitely not be able to water.

Kupchak has personally reviewed Doon's options report before, and the report shows that Doon is better off the ball, but now he plays with the ball just as well.

What does this mean? This shows that Doon has a rare combination of the ball and the ball in the NBA, not only can he lead the team crazy, but also can cooperate with his teammates very well.

A player of Doon's type, with a little bit of a personal level, is a championship puzzle piece, and he is strong enough to be the cornerstone of the team.

Taking a step back, the 13th pick in the first round and choosing a championship puzzle piece is definitely not a loss.

Not to mention, the talent that Doon is showing right now is really visible to the naked eye.

Doon's unicorn arm is no ornament! It's really able to get into the penalty area, engage in hand-to-hand combat with Canadian interior players, and still have a big advantage in the confrontation.

Doon's size, strength and ability to handle the ball make Kupchak feel a bit like Margety of the Clippers next door.

However, in Kupchak's opinion, Doon is stronger than Margeti. After all, Doon's shooting is far above Margeti's.

If the outside star wants to make the opponent unable to defend, he must not only be able to break through, but also be able to shoot! If you also pass the ball, it is even more incomprehensible.

Although today's Doon, he has not yet shot a three-point shot and mid-range.

But Kupchak still believes that Doon must choose to shoot in the next game time!

The Canadian men's basketball team also wants to save face, and it is impossible for Doon to be beaten to death just by breaking through this move.

Once Doon is trapped, the offensive efficiency of breaking through alone is greatly reduced, and he will inevitably choose to shoot a few mid-range or three-point shots, or simply switch from playing with the ball to without the ball.

Canadian head coach Jay Triano did not disappoint Kupchak, finally calling a timeout to adjust his defensive strategy with four minutes left in the first quarter.

Canada put on a three-two defense, and as soon as Doon got the ball outside the three-point line, he was sandwiched by a Canadian outside player and could only be forced to pass.

However, after 2 minutes of running back and forth, not a single assist was received, the stats were stagnant, and the team's offensive momentum was stagnant.

Faced with such a predicament, Doon learned from the pain, and suddenly it was just a moment, and he figured it all out at once!

"Regardless of his three-seven-twenty-one, I'll just take the ball and do it!"

Summer league doesn't focus on scoring efficiency, so why not be a data brush?

Anyway, there are only four or five thousand people at the scene, and as for the media, there are only seven or eight, so it's a big deal to let Nike use his connections and help with public relations after the game.

As long as there is no video of the full game, then the truth of the facts is not something that can be fabricated by the hands of the people on Doon's side?

Swipe a high score of thirty or forty points, edit out a wonderful reel, and blow it blindly with your eyes closed!

In this instant, Doon's thoughts were clear, and he was full of confidence!

"Grass, Kobe Bryant is right, as long as the opponent hasn't pounced, it's empty!"

After Doon got the ball, he also dribbled and made a quick shot with three points in a single move.

Duang——

The shot was a little hasty, and Doon's mentality may have been a little anxious, so he shot without adjustment, and it was normal to shoot for the first three-point shot in this game.

Fortunately, this is a three-point shot that is one step outside the three-point line, and the basketball smashes into the front of the basket and bounces directly to the outside.

Two more Canadian outside players flew towards Doane, which left only one person on the Canadian outside line, but he had to grab rebounds with the other two Lakers outside linemen.

In the end, it was also because of the distribution of manpower, the Lakers substitute small forward Udoka rushed up first and grabbed the offensive rebounds that landed.

Wait until the two Canadian outside players who had previously wrapped Doon turned around and defended Udoka.

Udoka did not rush to attack on his own, but took the opportunity to pass the ball to Doon, who had already run away without the ball.

With no one chasing and distracting, Doon adjusted slightly, and now he directly found his senses, tiptoeing like training, and single-action three-point shots.

Brush –

The ball went in, and Doon hit his first three-pointer in the summer league!

"Amy, your passing is fantastic! It's like when I'm hungry, you give me a burger, and when I'm thirsty, you give me a glass of iced Coke! ”

"Doon, it's the right one!

If I had to shoot this three-pointer in the round just now, I would only have a 30% chance that I would be able to shoot it.

But I'm sure you'll be able to get the ball in!

You're sure to add an assist stat to me! ”

Udoka deserves to be the head coach in the future, and his emotional intelligence is vividly displayed.

As soon as Doon praised Udoka, Udoka took advantage of the situation and exchanged blows with Doon's business.

In the next minute, Doon got the ball and continued to ignore the bag and force three points.

As if he knew that Doon would play iron, Udoka actively rushed to grab the offensive rebound, and really grabbed another one for him.

Perhaps it was the offensive rebounding that was a little more fragrant, and Doon scored twice and made another three-pointer.

At the end of the first quarter, Doon shot 6-of-10, 2-of-5 from three-point range, and 2-of-2 from the free-throw line, scoring 16 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 steal.

led the Lakers to 22-17, temporarily leading the Canadian men's basketball team by 5 points.

In the second half of the first quarter, Doon was a little unique, but his performance of 16 points in a single quarter was enough to conquer all the audience.

Even Rambis, after Doon got off the field, took the initiative to greet him and praised Doon a few words.

There is no grudge in the first place, but there is a slight difference in position.

If Doane can lead the Lakers to win the vast majority of Summer League games while brushing up on the numbers, Rambis would be happy to take it easy.

"You're very attacking, but I want you to be more versatile."

Lambis made some sincere suggestions to Doon.

Nor is Doon a pretentious man who insists on going his own way.

"Comprehensive, I know!"

Doon has watched James and Willis play, so he naturally knows how to be more comprehensive.
