Promising to become the leader of Sweden, is the Heat backcourt star full of expectations for the European Championship?

According to South Florida Sun-Sentinel reporter Ira Winderman, Miami Heat's backcourt star Pelle Larsson will represent the Swedish team in the European Men's Basketball Championship. Winderman is not worried about Larsson's workload. Although Larsson represented the Heat in the NBA Summer League, he withdrew from the Summer League early and joined the Swedish national team training camp early, which also gave him more time to adjust. Although he is just a newcomer, Larsson is full of expectations for his performance in the national team. He hopes to play the role of the team as the core and help the team show sufficient competitiveness in the European Championship.

Lalson was born in February 2001. He is 24 years old, 196cm tall and weighs 98kg. He is a backcourt player from the University of Arizona selected by the Heat in the 44th pick in the second round in the NBA Draft last year. In the NBA regular season last season, Larsson made a total of 55 appearances in 82 games, averaging 14.2 minutes per game, averaging 4.6 points, 1.7 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 0.6 steals and 0.1 blocks, and 0.4 turnovers and 1.7 fouls. He shot 43.8%, three-point shooting percentage 33.7%, and free throw shooting percentage 67.2%. In the playoffs last season, Larsson made a total of 4 appearances, averaging 13 minutes of playing time, averaging 5 points, 2.2 rebounds, 1 assist and 0.2 steals, 0.5 turnovers and 1.5 fouls, shooting percentage of 53.3%, three-point shooting percentage of 37.5%, and free throw shooting percentage of 33.3%.

Lalsson's performance in last season was actually quite good. As a second round pick, Lalsson gradually settled in a rotation lineup in the middle and late period of the season. His playing time is relatively stable. He can also play a certain role in the offensive end. He still has rich offensive methods and scoring abilities. In the playoffs, although the Heat's overall performance was not ideal, Larsson was able to show his offensive talent at some point. Of course, there are still some problems with Larsson's performance on the defensive end, and he also needs to improve in this regard.

In the previous summer league, Larsson played a total of 5 games, averaging 27.6 minutes per game, averaging 17.4 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, 0.4 steals, 3 turnovers and 2.4 fouls, shooting percentage of 42.3%, three-point shooting percentage of 26.3%, and free throw shooting percentage of 84.4%. Larsson's performance during the summer league was also quite good. In addition to certain problems in the stability of outside shooting and turnover control, he can still play his role in other aspects. He has also shown everyone's strong scoring ability, and he has also proved that he has the ability to kill all sides and play his value in this level of game. I don’t know what he will perform in the next European Championship.
