NBA Summer League: Cooper Flagg beats Bronny James

Great anticipation for the challenge, played in Las Vegas and valid for the NBA Summer League, between Dallas and LA Lakers (tickets sold for crazy amounts). Eyes focused, in particular, on Cooper Flagg, first pick at the’last NBA Draft and referred to as a predestined. On the’other side, in a yellow-violet jersey, Bronny James, son of LeBron James.

The victory went to the Mavs: 87-85 the final. Cooper Flagg did not shine, indeed he struggled a lot with the basket, finishing with only 10 points (5/21 from the field) but he was the protagonist, in the final, of the defensive play (with subsequent assist) that allowed Dallas to take home the victory.

“The coaches have a lot of confidence in me. They tell me that I have to experiment, that I have to try new things. I try to be aggressive. This is also new to me. I would say it might have been one of the worst games of my life. We won, that’s what really matters to me”, the words of the young Mavs outfielder reported by ESPN.

On the other hand, Bronny James struggled mightily, scoring a paltry eight points in 21′ on the court (1/6 from three): “He outscored me by six inches, so I just tried to hang in there. He (Cooper Flagg, ed.) is fantastic”, the postgame statements of LeBron James’ son.
