From being the No. 1 shooting guard in the United States, facing the crisis of being marginalized by the league after repeated injuries, to now showing the green leaves of helping the team in other ways, Langford is not disturbed by the outside evaluation at all, and silently explains the work assigned by the coach Do it well, focus on the court, hardly see him on social media, even when he was traded, he didn’t post any dynamic posts, and continued to train in the gym, just to move towards the dream of himself Go forward, as he said in his twitter top post: “Don’t stress, do your best, and the lord will take care of the rest”
Romeo Langford, who was once the No. 1 high school student in the United States, is 6-5 in height, 6-11 in arms, and has a standard wing body shape. He is regarded as the best offensive player in the 19th session. Physical fitness, the template given to him by the ball review is DeMar DeRozan who can shoot three-pointers, but after entering college, in order to adapt to the high-intensity game rhythm, the rapid weight gain caused the loss of shooting muscle memory, and the three-point shooting rate fell to the bottom. The draft market has retreated all the way to the end of the lottery, and was finally selected by the Celtics with the 14th overall pick in the first round. How much he contributes to the team is curious, but given the offensive skills in high school, coupled with the defensive discipline and cutting awareness developed at Indiana University, there are still many people who think Langford can have a place in the rotation.

Unfortunately, Langford’s body was cursed for some unknown reason. After returning from injury, he suffered from various injuries. He only played 32 games in his rookie year, and he left 18 games due to a torn ligament in his right wrist the following year. With repeated injuries, he has been recovering all the time. He has no time to thoroughly train his shooting and fine ball skills. Langford, who has yet to be refined, can only play in the fragmented time to absorb experience in the Celtics under the pressure of record. In the 21-22 season, he finally regained his health and played 48 games. Although he didn’t play much time, he relied on his excellent single-defense ability and awareness of assisting defense, accurate timing of air cuts, and seemingly certain accuracy. The outside line allows fans to see their expectations of him before the election.

Helplessly, the Celtics at that time had an urgent desire to pursue the championship gold cup, and could not wait for the growth of the potential rookie in the follow-up selection. Therefore, they made a deal with the Spurs before the mid-season trade deadline. The Spurs sent the head guard Derrick White. The Celtics sent Josh Richardson, Romeo Langford, the 2022 first-round pick (1~4 pick protection) and the 2028 first-round pick swap rights. Langford, who came to the Spurs, also faced the overcrowding of players in the same position on the team, so his playing time did not increase much. Fortunately, he was not injured in the rest of the season. If he added his playing record in the Celtics, This season has been arguably Langford’s healthiest yet.
In the 22-23 season, the Spurs added two rookies at the same position as Langford through the draft, which also made his position in the team more precarious. In addition, this season is a contract year, and it is bound to come up with more. Work hard to get the next professional contract, so fans can find that Langford is always the most desperate one on the field. Although he encountered an injury problem in the middle of the season, he still worked hard to implement the requirements of the coaching staff after returning to the team. Focus on the moment of the game.
In terms of offensive performance, most of them use the second wave of cuts or shots after receiving the pass from teammates. Since the mid-range shots are not stable, they are easy to be targeted by defenders. Therefore, Langford Another method was used – throwing. As we all know, throwing does not require too much preparation, the shot is fast, and it is not easy to be blocked for small players. For some players, if the day Feeling cold, and even regaining shooting status by throwing. As far as Langford’s state is concerned, his shooting condition is a problem of physical coordination. As mentioned earlier, he gained weight rapidly in college, which made him unable to regain the fluency he had in high school. He still needs time to adjust in this regard. But his shooting wrist is soft, so the part of the touch is almost unchanged. Coupled with his long arms, the throwing shots facing the center after the pick-and-roll cuts into the penalty area are rarely disturbed. The rate is 63.6% (21/33), which has also become one of his offensive methods.

Another point worth paying attention to is the offensive rebounding part. Langford averages 1.4 offensive rebounds per game, which is more than his defensive rebounds (1.3). Excellent physical fitness, the most important thing is his desire to fight actively, and the mentality of wanting to increase the offensive possession of the ball for the team. On the court, you can see a small man flying out of a group of centers, jumping the ball high Catch or shoot, or even stuff into the basket, get cheers from the crowd.
