At today's 2019 NBA draft conference, the Washington Wizards selected Japanese player hiromura with No. 9 sign. The latter became the third Japanese player to enter the NBA by Tian woyongtai and Empress Dowager Watanabe, and the first Japanese player to enter the NBA through the draft.
'when I started playing, the coach said to me & lsquo; You'll get into the NBA;. I believe him. He told me in a very serious tone. I really believe him from the bottom of my heart. Now, I'm here. It's really crazy. " Born in Japan, his mother is Japanese and his father is Beninese.
Because her figure and skin color are similar to the characters in the cartoon, hachura is considered to be a realistic version of Akaki Gangxian. In 2013, hachura led the Mingcheng high school basketball team to win the championship of the Japanese high school championship, and he scored 32 points in the final; In 2014, he led the team to win two consecutive titles; In November 2015, hachura signed an agreement with Gonzaga University to join. Before going to the United States, he led Mingcheng high school to win three consecutive titles.
The road of NCAA was not as smooth as expected. For most of the freshman season, hachura sat on the bench, averaging 4.6 minutes and getting 2.6 points and 1.4 rebounds. But this did not affect his confidence. He became an important rotation of the team in his sophomore year, averaging 11.6 points and 4.7 rebounds. In his junior year, he made rapid progress and became a famous star in the United States. He led Gonzaga University to the top four in the country, contributing 19.7 points and 6.5 rebounds per game, and was successfully selected into the first team of the season.
Before the draft conference, many websites predicted that hachura would wander on the edge of the Lotto area, but no one thought that the wizards with No. 9 sign would select hachura in advance, and the latter entered the NBA as the ninth rookie. At the age of 21, he was successfully selected into the NBA. He did not have much age advantage, but his growth experience and future potential made the outside world infinitely optimistic.
In addition, in the Asian arena, there is no doubt that hachuri will become the biggest threat to the future of the Chinese men's basketball team. In the previous world preliminaries, in the face of teams such as Australia and Iran, he has shown great dominance, averaging 21.5 points, 6 rebounds and 1.8 steals, leading the team back to the world cup. In the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games, hachura has the opportunity to lead the Japanese men's basketball team to achieve good results at home.
