On July 11, the NBA Summer League ushered in the focus of the Western Conference, and the Los Angeles Lakers challenged the Dallas Mavericks away. I have to say that Xiao Hua understands traffic the most. The most noteworthy game is James' eldest son Brownie vs. This year's new No. 1 pick Flag. There is no doubt that as the son of superstar James, although Brownie is the second round pick, he is definitely the most popular rookie in the league. Similarly, Flag, as the No. 1 pick in the United States, is also the hottest new star in the new season. Now that these two first- and second-grade rookies are met, it is indeed eye-catching enough.
