Take the initiative to reduce the number of shots! The former Mavericks first-round pick has a very obvious role in the Turkish team?

In a previous group match between the Men's Basketball European Championship, Turkey defeated Portugal 95-54 by as many as 41 points. After this game, the Turkish team, which won three consecutive victories, currently has a record of 3 wins and 0 losses, ranking first in the group; while the Portuguese team, which suffered two consecutive losses, has dropped to 1 win and 2 losses, temporarily ranking fifth in the group.

In this game, the Turkish naturalized player Shane Larkin performed quite well. Larkin played 21 minutes and 43 seconds in the whole game, 1 shot from 2, 0 shots from 1 from outside the three-point line, 2 free throws, scored 4 points, 2 rebounds, 5 assists and 4 steals, and there was 1 turnover and 1 foul, and the plus and negative value also reached +26. Larkin did not make too many shots on the offensive end, nor did he get too many points, and he did not have a good effect in this regard. However, Larkin has indeed played his characteristics and value in passing and organizing. He has created many opportunities for his opponents, and his performance on the defensive end is also worthy of recognition. He has also shown quite good personal defensive abilities. Overall, Larkin's data is not particularly eye-catching, but he still showed his due level and he also made his own contribution to the team's victory. Since the start of the European Championship, Larkin has averaged 26.3 minutes in the first three games, with averaging 8 points, 4 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.7 steals, 2 turnovers and 0.7 fouls, shooting percentage of 53.3%, three-point shooting percentage of 40%, free throw percentage of 80%, and averaging plus-minus value of +18.7. Larkin is actually not without scoring ability, but he has controlled his shots in these games. He has shown outstanding passing ability and organizational ability, and his performance on the defensive end is also remarkable. Larkin's role on the court is worthy of recognition, and he can also display his talents in other aspects. In the FIBA ​​arena, it seems that he can indeed have a good effect.

Larkin was born in October 1992. He is 32 years old, 180cm tall and weighs 79kg. He is the backcourt player selected by the Dallas Mavericks in the 2013 NBA Draft. Although Larkin is a first-round pick and is considered to have a high level of maturity, his performance in the NBA is not ideal, and he cannot gain a foothold in the NBA. However, after moving to the European arena, he also showed his talents and became an excellent star in the European arena. I don’t know what kind of performance he can perform in this European Championship. Can he lead the Turkish team to strike a higher honor?
