The performance was not ideal! The Spurs Lottery Show failed to show enough competitiveness in two consecutive games?

In a previous NBA Summer League California Classic game, the Los Angeles Lakers completed a big comeback in the final quarter and finally defeated the San Antonio Spurs 89-88. After this game, the Lakers, who won two consecutive victories, improved their record in the summer league to 2 wins and 1 loss, while the Spurs' record dropped to 1 win and 2 losses.

In this game, the performance of Spurs' starting rookie Carter Bryant was very disappointing. Bryant played 24 minutes and 36 seconds in the game, made 2 of 8 shots, 2 of 7 from outside the three-point line, and 3 of 4 free throws, scoring 9 points, 3 rebounds and 2 blocks, and had 4 turnovers and 4 fouls, with a plus-negative value of -10. Bryant's performance on the defensive end is pretty good, he has shown good personal defensive ability, his athletic ability also looks good, and he has played a certain role in the defensive end. However, the problem is that Bryant's performance on the offensive end was terrible. He got a lot of opportunities to shoot from the outside, but he missed the opportunity again and again. Bryant should have been a 3D type forward player with both offense and defense, but in this game, he obviously cannot realize his full potential, and he should have done better.

In fact, Bryant's performance was also very average in the team's first game of the summer league. He shot 21 minutes and 29 seconds in the playing time of 21 minutes and 29 seconds, made 3 of 8 shots and 1 of 6 shots from outside the three-point line, scored 7 points, 5 rebounds and 1 assist, and had 3 turnovers and 7 fouls, with a plus-negative value of -9. Bryant's performance outside the three-point line in two games was really bad. His efficiency outside the three-point line was 3 out of 13, which was really a bit outrageous. Bryant's performance on the defensive end is not that stable, and he also has obvious discomfort. Overall, Bryant's effect on the court is not ideal. When he is on the court, the Spurs will often fall into huge crises, and he should have done better.

Bryant was born in November 2005 and is 19 years old. He is the striker selected by the Spurs with the 14th pick in the first round in this year's NBA Draft. According to data from the previous joint trial physical test, Bryant's bare feet are 199.4cm in height, 215.3cm in wingspan, 269.2cm in height, and 108.5kg in weight. In the NCAA game this season, Bryant made a total of 37 appearances, including 5 of which were starters, with averaging 19.3 minutes per game, averaging 6.5 points, 4.1 rebounds (0.9 frontcourt rebounds), 1 assist, 0.9 steals and 1 block, and 1 turnover and 2.3 fouls. He shot 46% from the field (2.2/4.8), three-point shooting percentage 37.1% (1.1/2.8), and free throw shooting percentage 69.5% (1.1/1.6). Bryant showed his ability on both offense and defense in the NCAA field last season, but he did not expect that he encountered a lot of trouble in the summer league. It seems that it may take him a while to find out how he feels in the NBA?
