Shin Kyung s first game was 16 points, 8 rebounds, and 7 assists were too comprehensive! He led the team to a good start and won the NBA official praise

On August 28, the Men's Basketball European Championship officially opened. In a focus battle in the first game, Turkey defeated Latvia and made a good start. Rockets star Shin Kyung performed well. He not only led the team to win, but also set many records.

In the whole game, Shin Kyung played 27 minutes, made 7 of 12 shots, including 0 of 1 three-pointers, scoring a total of 16 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 steal and 1 block. Under the leadership of Shin Kyung, the Turkish team established a leading advantage early and finally won with a huge advantage of 93-73.

As a comparison, Latvian men's basketball star Porzingis performed very poorly. He had no shooting feel. He played for 25 minutes in total, made only 3 of 12 shots, 0 of 5 three-pointers, 4 free throws, scored 10 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 steal, and made 6 mistakes, with a plus-negative value of -17. It is no exaggeration to say that in comparison with Shin Kyung, Porzingis was completely defeated.

After this game, Shin Kyung became the first Turkish player to score at least 15 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists in a single game in the European Championships. He is also the third Turkish player to score at least 7 rebounds and 7 assists in a single European Championship since Tekoglu in 2001 and Sean Larkin in 2022.

Shin Kyung's performance has been praised by the NBA officials. The NBA official social media updated the updates and posted the full game data of Shen Jing and wrote: Shen Jing performed very well in Türkiye's first victory.

According to the schedule, the Turkish team's second match will be held on August 29. The opponent is the Czech Men's Basketball Team. Can Shen Jing lead the team to win two consecutive victories? Let's wait and see!
