The state has recovered! Is the importance of the former Mavericks first round pick to the Turkish team obvious to all?

In the previous quarter-finals of the Men's Basketball European Championship, Turkey defeated Poland 91-77 and advanced to the semi-finals with a record of complete victory. They will compete with the winners of the Lithuanian and Greek teams for a final spot; while Poland was eliminated after this game.

In this game, the performance of Turkey's starting and backcourt Shane Larkin also rebounded significantly, and he also showed his due strength. Larkin played 34 minutes and 01 seconds in the game, made 3 of 7 shots, 1 of 3 from outside the three-point line, and 6 of 6 free throws, and scored 13 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 steal. There was also 1 foul, with a plus-negative value of +12. Larkin also showed a relatively comprehensive scoring ability on the offensive end. Although his offensive efficiency was mediocre, he also obtained a lot of points based on his own experience. In addition, he has also shown good passing ability and organizational ability, and he can also provide some help and support to his teammates. Larkin's performance on the defensive end is also quite standard and can play a certain role. Overall, Larkin also played the effect that he should have in the backcourt core in this game, and his outstanding performance also made a significant contribution to the team's key victory. Since the start of the European Championship, Larkin has averaged 31.2 minutes in the first seven games, with averaging 11 points, 3.6 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 1.4 steals, 1.3 turnovers and 1.1 fouls, shooting percentage of 43.6%, three-point shooting percentage of 36.7%, free throw percentage of 90%, and averaging plus-negative value of +14.6. Larkin's performance on the offensive end was not stable. He was able to get a lot of points in some games, he was able to play a certain effect in passing and organization, and his personal defensive ability was actually not bad. However, the problem is that his performance in other games was indeed not ideal, and his stability was really poor. His performance in the previous match against Sweden was simply not completely satisfying.

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. As a first-round pick, his performance in the NBA was not ideal, and he did not show enough competitiveness in the New York Knicks, Brooklyn Nets and Boston Celtics. However, in the European arena, Larkin's performance has always been very outstanding. He is a backcourt player with very comprehensive abilities, which is also an important factor in the Turkish team's choice to use him as a naturalized player. With the overall state of Turkey, if Larkin can maintain this level, the Turkish team may really have a chance to make a bigger breakthrough in this European Championship?
