In a previous NBA regular season game, the Brooklyn Nets defeated the Philadelphia 76ers 136-121 at home. After this game, the Nets' record improved to 21-28 and continued to rank 11th in the East; The 76ers, who have lost five of their last six games, have slipped to 30-18 and remain in fifth place in the East.
In this game, although the 76ers lost the game, the performance of the 76ers' backcourt rookie Terqu**ion Smith, who rarely got a lot of playing time, was definitely impressive. Smith played 9 minutes and 11 seconds from the field, shooting 6-of-7 from the field, 5-of-6 from beyond the three-point line, and 0-of-1 from the free-throw line, scoring 17 points and 1 assist with incredible efficiency, and a team-high plus/minus of +8. Smith was a big hit on the offensive end, and with limited possession, he put his outside shooting to good use, hitting five three-pointers in a row, and it looked like he had some breakaway ability. Obviously, there is simply no way for opponents to effectively limit Smith, which allows Smith to score in a variety of ways on the court. Unfortunately, Smith played too late, and his heroic form could not help the team turn the tide around.
In the NBA regular season this season, Smith only made six appearances in total, averaging only 5 minutes per game5 minutes, with an average of 47 points 12 assists 07 steals, 45% shooting, 50% three-point shooting, and 66 free throw shooting7%。In the previous five games, Smith had only scored 11 points in total due to his severely limited playing time and fragmentation, and his performance also looked to lack enough bright spots. However, in this game, Smith showed amazing combat effectiveness, and he scored a lot more in this game than the previous five games combined, so it can be said that he showed super scoring power, and his overall performance and influence on the game left a deep impression.
Smith was the undrafted pick in last year's NBA Draft, and the 76ers offered him a two-way contract after the draft, and Smith also kept the two-way contract with his consistent summer league performance. Smith is a great scorer, good projection potential backcourt player who has a similar style and characteristics to his playing style and even his looks, which is somewhat similar to 76ers backcourt star Tyrese Maxey. Maybe in the next game, the 76ers can also consider giving Smith more opportunities to play, maybe Smith can become the little "Maxey" in the 76ers' second team?
