Facing the Chinese team s offense and defense, will New Zealand star have a chance to attack the NBA?

In the previous Asian Cup semi-finals of the Men's Basketball Team, the Chinese team defeated New Zealand 98-84 and successfully advanced to the finals. Next they will compete for the championship between Australia and Iran, while New Zealand will compete for the third place in the game with the loser between Australia and Iran.

Although New Zealand lost the game, the team's starting and backcourt star Mojave King also tried his best. King played 22 minutes and 03 seconds in the game, made 5 of 9 shots, 4 of 8 from outside the three-point line, and 5 of 7 free throws, and scored 19 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist, 3 steals and 1 block. He also had 4 fouls, with a plus-minus value of -3. King showed quite good shooting ability on the offensive end, and he also seized a few opportunities and got a lot of points, which provided a lot of support to the team on the offensive end. King's performance on the defensive end is also worthy of recognition. He is also a very reliable defender and has shown quite good personal defense ability. But overall, the performance of New Zealand team is still a little worse than that of the Chinese team, and they do not match the strength of the Chinese team. King worked very hard on the court and also played a good role in both offense and defense, but he had no way to help New Zealand turn the situation around.

Since the start of the Asian Cup, King has averaged 26.9 minutes in the first five games, with averaging 18.6 points, 2.8 rebounds, 2 assists, 1.6 steals and 0.4 blocks, 0.6 turnovers and 2.2 fouls, shooting percentage of 54.2%, three-point shooting percentage of 46.4%, free throw shooting percentage of 66.7%, and averaging plus-negative value of +11.8. King has been very stable in the Asian Cup so far. He has a very good scoring ability. His stability in outside shooting is also very outstanding. He has also proved that he is a very excellent scorer. Not only that, Kim is also an excellent defender on the defensive end, and he has also shown his outstanding defensive ability. Kim showed his value on both offense and defense, and he is also an all-around backcourt player with both offense and defense.

Jin was born in June 2002. He is 23 years old, 196cm tall and weighs 88kg. He is the backcourt player selected by the Indiana Pacers in the 47th pick in the second round in the 2023 NBA Draft. King has not been able to enter the NBA in these seasons, and his NBA signing rights were sent to the Houston Rockets in a deal to design Cam Whitmore this summer. King's performance in overseas leagues has actually improved in recent seasons. Now he can also show his characteristics and strength in the Asian Cup and has become an indispensable pillar of the New Zealand team. Maybe in the near future, he will have the chance to appear in the NBA arena?
