导出博客文章LAS VEGAS -- Denzel Valentine put a thrilling finish on the NBA Summer
League.Valentine hit the tying 3-pointer with the final second of regulation,
then made a jumper at the buzzer in overtime to give the Chicago Bulls an 84-82
victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Monday night.Valentine was scoreless
on 0-for-6 shooting through three quarters, but he proved that fortunes change
quickly in Las Vegas. His 3-pointer with 0.2 seconds forced the extra period
after Tyus Jones had just given Minnesota a 77-74 lead on a 3 with 3.6 seconds
to go.It was tied again on Xavier Silas 3 with 11.7 seconds remaining in OT, but
Valentine, the college player of the year from Michigan State, worked the clock
down before making his spinning jumper in the lane as the Bulls finished
7-0.That ended the NBA portion of summer basketball after leagues in Orlando,
Salt Lake City and Las Vegas over the last two weeks. Rookies got their first
looks, some veterans got their last shots, and it ended with a play that had
Twitter buzzing like a game that took place in June instead of July.And just as
the NBA stops, USA Basketball starts. Right on the same UNLV campus just hours
before the summer league championship game, the U.S. Olympic team held its first
training camp practice. The Olympics start on Aug. 5 in Rio de Janeiro and the
Americans will hope to be playing for a third straight gold medal on Aug.
21.Then, finally, the offseason will finally start.A look back at the
summer:MVP! MVP!OK, its actually Most Outstanding Player in the Final Four, so
technically Tyus Jones would be MOP, MVP. The Minnesota Timberwolves point guard
won Summer League MVP honors and finished with 27 points in nearly leading the
24th-seeded Wolves to the championship. He won the Final Four Most Outstanding
Player award after leaving Duke past Wisconsin for the 2015 national
championship.THIBODEAU BOWLThats what the Summer League championship game was
dubbed, with coach Tom Thibodeaus new team (Minnesota) facing the Bulls team he
coached for five seasons before he was fired. Thibodeau, an assistant on Mike
Krzyzewskis U.S. Olympic team staff, took in the championship game from a
baseline seat near Timberwolves players Karl-Anthony Towns and Zach
LaVine.SIMMONS STOCKBen Simmons showed off the versatility that made him the No.
1 pick in the draft. The freshman from LSU played in four games for the
Philadelphia 76ers in Las Vegas, averaging 12.3 points, 7.8 rebounds and 5.5
assists. If the 76ers do someday get the forward from Australia along with
recent high picks Joel Embiid and Dario Saric on the court with second-year
forward Jahlil Okafor, the future could be bright after a dismal recent
past.ALL-SUMMER LEAGUE HONORSBesides Jones, the rest of the All-Summer League
team, as voted by a panel of media members:First team: Jordan McRae (Cleveland),
Bobby Portis (Chicago), Ben Simmons (Philadelphia) and Alan Williams
(Phoenix).Second team: Jaylen Brown (Boston), Thon Maker (Milwaukee), Kelly
Oubre Jr. (Washington), Normal Powell (Toronto) and Tyler Ulis (Phoenix).BULLS
BACKCOURTChicago figures to have a starting backcourt of Dwyane Wade and Rajon
Rondo after signing both players earlier this month, and theres some good young
talent behind them. Valentine showed hes a clutch performer, while Jerian Grant,
acquired from the Knicks in the trade for Derrick Rose, was MVP of the
championship game with 24 points and 10 rebounds.PACKING THEM INThe summer
league broke two attendance records in Las Vegas, including the overall
attendance mark with 108,931. The previous mark was 99,437, set last year. Over
11 days, the summer league averaged 9,902 per day.The event also broke the
single-day mark on July 9, when 16,208 visited both the Cox Pavilion and Thomas
and Mack Center. The spotlight game that night featured the top two draft picks
in last months draft, Simmons and the Lakers Brandon Ingram. The previous mark
was 12,422, set last season, also on the day the top two draft picks met, with
Towns and DAngelo Russell facing off.RISING SUNS?Phoenix got a look at a
promising young core while going 4-2 in Las Vegas. All-Rookie selection Devin
Booker averaged 26 points in his two games, top-10 picks Dragan Bender and
Marquese Chriss both showed potential and guard Tyler Ulis looked like a
second-round keeper. Ulis averaged 14.5 points and had 10.0 points and 9.0
rebounds per game. Bender, the No. 4 pick from Croatia, shot just 27.5 percent
from the field but managed 8.6 points and 5.6 rebounds in his five
games.---Freelance writer Willie Ramirez contributed to this report.
