After his exile in China, Noah Vonleh enjoys every day spent in the NBA

Six months ago, if we had told noah vonleh that he would be the first rotation of a title finalist team, from the first match of the season broadcast on national air, he probably would not have believed it.

However, this is what happened on the night of Tuesday to Wednesday in Boston, in the first quarter of the first game of the 2022/23 fiscal year between the Celtics and the Sixers. While Al Horford had quickly suffered two fouls in the first minutes, it was indeed the 9th choice of the 2014 Draft, a native of Massachusetts, who replaced him.

Former “lottery pick” who never managed to win in the NBA, fell into oblivion over the seasons to the point of going through China last season to revive himself, Noah Vonleh then found himself defending against Joel Embiid, for his official return to the Great League. A “welcome back to the NBA moment”, in a way.

China… it’s different. What I mean is there’s no Joel Embiid there » so he saidwhile the Sixers superstar attacked him from the low post, collecting a basket with the fault.

A new perspective

Moderately delighted with his freelance in the weak Chinese league, the former resident of the famous college of Indiana still manages to draw something positive from it. ” It motivated me even more. I was there, and I sometimes wondered what I was doing there, I questioned myself. But that just made me hungrier. »

Finally, his exile far from the United States was a blessing in disguise, which reminded him that nothing is ever acquired in the NBA. The proof: if he has succeeded in finding an NBA “roster”, he is only at the beginning of his efforts since his contract in Boston is only partially guaranteed until January.

I had this opportunity here, and I’m trying to make the most of it. But the hardest part is yet to come, because I now have to pass the January 7 deadline. So I gotta keep working, taking it day by day ” he added.

A decision that will not be his, of course, but on which he can positively influence by offering good minutes to his coach. Which was the case during the Celtics’ first outing against the 76ers.

He has a good attitude, he works hard and fits into our defensive scheme. confirms Joe Mazzulla. ” He switched, defended in ‘drop’. Several interesting things. That’s actually what it does: lots of useful little things. It is in this role that he can help us. »

But basically, whatever happens on January 7, Noah Vonleh will be satisfied. Because his return to the NBA is not only a sporting success, which can revitalize for his career. It is also, in his eyes, a personal success on a human level.

I learned, on my own, that I don’t give up. I will continue to fight, to give my all in the face of adversity he concludes.
