“Everyone loves Yuuki. He’s a good guy.”
On November 27, the Grizzlies defeated the Pistons at home. Although the Pistons are at the bottom of the league, they have had a lot of energy this season, and they were a tough opponent for the Grizzlies, who had Ja Morant and Zach Eady out with ankle injuries.
However, they only competed in the first season. Scottie Pippen Jr. dominated. on the game, and Marcus Smart, who was playing in his second game since his return, came off the bench to lead the second unit. After dominating the second quarter by a score of 37-18, they steadily extended their lead in the third quarter and entered the fourth quarter with a huge lead of 104-77.
There were 16,200 spectators at the FedEx Forum that day, and there were some empty seats in the stands, but Yuki Kawamura’s performance was what they had hoped for in the final stages of a one-sided game. As the match approached its final stages, a spontaneous call of “We want Yuki!” went up, and as if in response, Kawamura was sent to the court with 3 minutes and 14 seconds left.
It wasn’t easy to make plays as a point guard in a situation where the players around him couldn’t focus on the game, but every time Kawamura pushed the ball, the stands to joy, and that was the moment something happened. . I was trying not to miss it.
It happened with 32 seconds left. Kawamura pushed Marcus Sasser with a drive and hit a fadeaway jumper from the turnaround. It was a tough shot and it didn’t create any good chances, but this was definitely a shot where Kawamura should have won. When this shot hit the center of the ring, the venue became so excited that it was hard to believe that it was a waste of time.
He made one shot and scored two points in three minutes. While it may not have been enough to raise Kawamura’s reputation, there is no doubt that it brought joy to the fans in attendance at the venue that exceeded the ticket price.
Marcus Smart, who scored a game-high 25 points and was behind the win, was asked about Kawamura in a courtside interview and replied with a smile: “On the bench, we’re just as excited.” screamed to the crowd. We all love Yuki. We knew he could do it here. He’s a great professional hard.”
With this, Kawamura has played in 10 games in the NBA. It can be said that his NBA challenge, which started with a training camp contract, has gone very smoothly so far.
