There's no doubt that New Zealand would have wings if Adams joined, but he has never worn a New Zealand uniform in his career. Rumored to have had problems with the president of the Basketball Association, Adams returned to New Zealand during the World Qualifiers, where he held a training camp. Despite failing to play for the national team, he has been in close contact with the head coach of the New Zealand national team, but the tease came as a big surprise.
In Group F, Greece, Brazil, New Zealand and Montenegro will battle it out in Nanjing in the group stage. New Zealand's world ranking of 38th, the bottom of the group, even the unheard of Montenegro's world ranking reached 28, to know that Montenegro is from the European zone to kill, NBA all-star level Vucevic is likely to return to see the strength of the team.
New Zealand, by contrast, is a bit of a star-studded team, and many feel they are going to have to play the role of sender. Greece is almost a lock for a spot, the world's eighth-ranked team is aiming for a medal in this World Cup, and Alphabet is likely to be a strong addition to the team, and it will be hard for anyone to hold off Alphabet's advances at this venue in Nanjing, where Brazil also boasts a host of NBA players.
This season Adams can get an average of 13.8 points and 9.5 rebounds, familiar with the Thunder fans know that Adams is completely a double-double monster, his front-court rebounds are stable at about 5, to know that the front-court rebounds is the value. As for why the backcourt rebounds will be too little, I'm afraid that there is again a meeting of suspicion. As a cardboard god, Adams often stuck the position, the backcourt rebounds, also known as defensive rebounds to big brother Willow.
China lost to New Zealand twice in the Asian Cup qualifiers, even when Yi Jianlian scored 37 points. There is no doubt that with both Australia and New Zealand joining Asia, China has two strong opponents. The good news is that Adams is expected to play only in big games like the Olympics, and only the world stage can raise his interest, and it will be hard for him to come back for Asian games.
It can be said that Adams is the last straw for New Zealand, he can help the New Zealand team to reach a new level under the basket, he is one of the few centers in the league who can both protect the basket, protect the rebounds and also go to the outside to follow the defense of one of the tight, and even almost unique, he is the Thunder's best guardian. Only New Zealand to participate in the Olympic Games is not easy, the best team in the Australian region can get next year's Olympic Games qualification, New Zealand does not have any way to overtake Australia, Adams this move is really let a lot of New Zealand fans want to cry.
