John Wall was still pausing, Bradley Beal and Otto Porter Jr.just played a little bit in the first round.But even so, the Chinese CBA team did not pose a problem for the wizards. 60 percent from the field, almost 42 percent from downtown, it was a more relaxed play-in.
Wizards coach Scott Brooks said,”I see these games as a way to experiment.I want to see how the players interpret their role.A part of the rotation could also be Jodie Meeks, who scored 19 points for Washington in his first match and was accustomed to seeing from the outside (4/5 threesomes).
As a replacement for Wall, the Czech Tomas Satoransky was allowed to take over the build-up and showed himself to be active, although of course not with the power of the All Stars. 13 points (5/8 FG) and 5 assists were more than decent.Forward Sheldon McClellan was the second best scorer in the capitals with 17 points (6/9 FG).
Meanwhile, the US players stood out in the Long Lions.Ex-Pacers player Tyler Hansbrough played 39 minutes and scored 29 points (10/20 FG) and 11 rebounds, a strong double-double.The Kyle Fogg (Bremerhaven, Malaga), well known from Europe, contributed a further 26 points (6/20 FG, 13/15 FT).
Strong first appearance of Daniel Theis at the Celtics. 13 minutes were enough for the ex-Bamberger to score the Hornets 12 points (5/8 FG), 7 rebounds and 3 assists.The German played with a lot of self-confidence and did not hesitate to take his litters.He was also able to prove his range.He transformed his only three-point attempt.
But not only Theis made his debut in the TD Garden.It was also the premiere for Kyrie Irving and Gordon Hayward.Both played only in the first round, but let their skills flash up there, even though the throws didn’t want to sit down yet.Irving scored 9 points (4/11 FG), Hayward 5 (2/6 FG).It was conspicuous that both of them did not want to force their litters.Around Al Horford (7 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists) the spalding was quite respectable.
The new center Aron Baynes scored 10 points, while Rookie Jayson Tatum was still missing the touch-touch (9 points, 4/11 FG), but Rookie Jayson Tatum also presented other facets of his game (5 assists, 2 blocks) and Hornet’s freshman Malik Monk, who had similar difficulties with 5 points (2/8 FG) in 20 minutes.
Dwight Howard, who was booed once again, scored 7 points and 10 rebounds and had the usual problems on the free-throw line (3/8 FT).The bright spot of the weak Charlotte team was Jeremy Lamb with 17 points and 8 boards.As a team, the Hornets only shot 37.5 percent out of the field.Franchise player Kemba Walker (12 points, 3/11 FG) was no exception.
