There’s less and less left until the start of the next NBA season. While waiting for the first matches, the preseason matches are taking place in these days, which always offers good indications on the form of the teams and players. Of note is the victory of the Los Angeles Lakers against i Brooklyn Nets per 129-126.
Despite the defeat, the positive impact of the Big Apple franchise should be noted Ben Simmons. The former Sixers player actually scored 10 points with a 4-6 from the field and supplied 3 assist in fourteen minutes of stay on the playing parquet. At the end of the match, he expressed himself as follows to the microphones:
“I haven’t felt this good in years. I’m really excited, because I can finally contribute to the success of my team to my full potential. I can’t wait for the season to start.”
Simmons only played 42 games last season due to a back injury he previously underwent surgery on. Due to this stop, the explosiveness and aggression exhibited during his time in Philadelphia has been lacking. However, it seems that the player has put his physical problems behind him.
Speaking of which, coach Jacque Vaughn expressed his considerations regarding his point guard:
“I am very confident. The way in which he played this match and in particular the fluid circulation of the ball which allowed the involvement of all the other teammates are truly encouraging signs. We expect a lot from him and I am sure he will not disappoint us.”
We’ll see if Simmons can live up to expectations during the Nets’ first game, scheduled for October 26th against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
