Lead Jamaica to advance to the next round! The former Clippers scorer is still in excellent form after turning to the Heat?

Backcourt star Norman Powell, who had just joined the Miami Heat from the Los Angeles Clippers this summer, updated his social media account, in which he wrote in Jamaican Patois: I am honored to play for my hometown.

Powell previously represented Jamaica in the first two group matches of the qualifiers in the Americas, and he scored 12 points and 34 points respectively in these two matches. In both games, his Jamaica team won the game and the team advanced early. In the third game, Jamaica, who had completed the mission, did not arrange for Powell to play. The two games combined scored 46 points, which is enough to show how outstanding Powell's performance is and how strong his scoring ability is. There are 8 teams participating in the 2027 Men's Basketball World Cup America Qualifier Qualifiers, divided into two groups, and the top two in each group advance to the World Cup Qualifiers. Jamaica ranked second in Group A in the end with 2 wins and 1 loss, and successfully advanced to the next stage of the game.

In the NBA regular season last season, Powell was affected by injuries in 82 games, playing 60 games for his old club, the Clippers, with averaging 32.6 minutes per game, with averaging 21.8 points, 3.2 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.2 blocks, and 1.8 turnovers and 1.9 fouls, with a shooting percentage of 48.4%, a three-point shooting percentage of 41.8%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 80.4%. In the playoffs, Powell played 7 games in total, with averaging 34 minutes per game, with averaging 16 points, 2.4 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.2 blocks, and 1.7 turnovers and 2.1 fouls. His shooting percentage was 47.2%, his three-point shooting percentage was 35%, and his free throw shooting percentage was 77.8%. In a previous three-party transaction, Powell was sent to the Heat by his old club Clippers.

In this game, only one active NBA player in Jamaica's lineup will play. However, it was previously reported that the twin brothers Amen Thompson and Ausar Thompson are also considering the possibility of representing Jamaica in the FIBA event. In addition to the Powell and Thompson brothers, Jamaica's potential lineup also includes: Devin Vassell, Scottie Barnes, Isaiah Stewart, Julian Champagnie, Justin Champagnie and Josh Minott. Among these players are excellent scorers, all-round forwards, defensive gates, 3D wings, and young potential stocks, which can be said to have gathered all kinds of talents. If these players are willing to represent Jamaica, then Jamaica's competitiveness will definitely improve a lot, and they will become a dark horse in intercontinental and even international competitions.
