Janić Konan Niederhauser, the great Swiss who shakes up the Clippers racket
« He will also get his chance at some point. “The a promise made by Tyronn Lue in mid-December in connection Janić Konan Niederhauser was held.
Since Ivica Zubac injured his ankle ten days ago against the Lakers, forcing him join the clinic for three weeksThe Swiss was sent to the floor with more consistency, after being mobilized very little before: 15 minutes against the Rockets, 12 against the Blazers and another 12 against the Pistons.
But while this playing time has yet to translate into significant statistical production thus far, the pivot has made the most of his opportunity against the Kings last night.
Combining well with James Harden on the pick-and-roll, the Swiss took advantage of the space behind Maxime Reynaud several times to finish, very high, in the circle. In 25 minutes of play, the rookie, who has never been mobilized like this before, combined 16 points (6/8 on shots) and 6 rebounds.
Efficiency sur le «pick-and-roll»
« I think I had four dunks. Maybe three, it was great. I liked the first one, when Kawhi passed me the ball », a 20-year-old man appearedin relation to this very nice sequence where Kawhi Leonard first served into the “backdoor” Nicolas Batum at the head of the racket.
Enough to attract the help of Maxime Reynaud, as “The Claw” managed to get the leather to his pivot for a big two-handed dunk, celebrated with an angry scream. ” They encourage me. (these are) great guys, great veterans, they give me energy », appreciates the 30th pick of the last draft with a big smile.
An energy that Tyronn Lue also greatly appreciated in this matchup. ” On the plus side, you could get through pick-and-rolls and come off screens quick enough to get behind the defense », the coach noteswhich also records investment on the other side of the field.
« I found him to be really good defensively, close to the basket, either blocking shots or changing shots. But his energy, his court handling, the pick-and-roll, the quick draw… He’s done a really good job, and he’s only going to get better “, projects Tyrone Lue, who, while Brook Lopez is also finding color, undoubtedly sees the absence of Ivica Zubac more calmly.
