Okogi scored 4 points in the knockout stage! African media: This is the best player in Nikko Basketball? The Rockets still don t lose if they sign him for 3.08 million

On August 21, in the quarter-finals of the men's basketball team in the African Cup, Nigerian men's basketball team defeated Senegal men's basketball team 75-91 and missed the semi-finals. After this game, the two favorites to win the African Cup, South Sudan Men's Basketball Team and Nigerian Men's Basketball Team have been eliminated, and they happened to be eliminated by the Senegal Men's Basketball Team. Badiola's core scored 30+ data in both knockout matches.

The core of Nigeria is of course the NBA active player Josh Okogie. He just signed with the Houston Rockets this summer and played for the Phoenix Suns and Charlotte Hornets last season. However, he made 25 minutes in the game, making 2 of 10 shots, 0 of 2 three-pointers, scoring 4 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 mistakes, with a plus-minus value of -17, and an efficiency value of 2. It can be said that his poor performance is the main reason for the Nikkei Basketball team's crushing defeat.

Okogi's performance in this African Cup was very unstable, with 2+ three-pointers and 0 of 3 points in the first game, 33+6 in 19 games, and 6-9 in the third game, 16 points in the group stage. The Nikkei scored three consecutive wins to the quarterfinals.

So in the quarter-finals, Okogi immediately pulled a big one, worse than his debut. In this African Cup, he averaged 24.9 minutes per game, scored 14.5 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists, 1.3 steals, 0.5 blocks, with a shooting percentage of 48.9% and a three-point shooting percentage of 26.7%.

African media Sport Inter taunts: Is this the best player in your Nigerian men's basketball team? Before the game, Nigerian fans said they could eat Senegal raw without adding ingredients, but they turned on the fire and cooked themselves.

Okoji has been playing the World Youth Championship for the Nigerian Men's Basketball Team since 2017. His personal performance is not stable enough when he plays the Men's Basketball World Cup in 2019.

But the Rockets still don't lose money by signing him this summer. The Rockets signed Okoji for only 3.08 million. Uduka didn't want Okoji to attack at all. Even if Uduka lets him appear, he has to defend, because Okoji has a terrifying arm span of 7 feet, he is the top defender. The Rockets have a lot of rotations. Okogi will definitely not even be able to get into the rotation at the beginning of the new season. The 10-man rotation has been rated early in the morning. Okogi will only have a chance unless there are rest, injuries, etc.
