Chapter 634 True Love, Millsap
The 20-time triple-double task seems to be quite simple, but it is actually really difficult.
The test is not only yourself, but also your teammates.
But I'm still very happy to get Yi Jianlian, a good opener. This is a good sign!
The Knicks, who beat the Bucks in an away game, hurried back to Madison Square Garden to face the Atlanta Hawks the next day.
This is a back-to-back game.
How else can you say that the League and Xiao Hua are idiots?
Tangtang has been defending the champion team, what the hell kind of schedule is this arranged at the beginning of the season?
With back-to-back away games, that rubbish president is definitely Sima.
The Eagles, the second in the Eastern Conference regular season, won 60 wins last year.
If it wasn't for Yi Jianlian who brought the Knicks to the sky, they would be the absolute No. [-] in the Eastern Conference!
But it was still them, who met the Cleveland Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference semifinals and were swept away.
It's a very speechless thing. They played so well in the regular season and also played very well in the first round of the playoffs. The Milwaukee Bucks were eliminated by them in the first round.
The biggest change for the Eagles this year should be the departure of DeMarre Carroll, who was in the starting five last year.
Carroll's outstanding performance last season can be described as skyrocketing. In 70 games in the regular season, Carroll averaged 12.3 points and 5.3 rebounds per game.
However, in the All-Star selection, Carroll did not rank among the Eastern Conference All-Stars.And his four teammates were all shortlisted.
Entering the playoffs, Carroll performed even better. In the first round against the Bucks, the player averaged 17.5 points and 7.2 rebounds per game.
In the subsequent confrontation with the Cavaliers, Carroll was almost seriously injured in the first game. Although he persisted in fighting, after all, the opponent was LeBron. He averaged only 4 points and 7 rebounds in 3.8 games, and his shooting percentage was only 32.4%.
But even so, his market was still rising this summer. In the end, the Raptors took the lead and succeeded in snatching people with a price tag of 4 million in four years.
Warshen also pointed out that Carroll's arrival may mean that Raptors power forward Amir Johnson will pack up and leave.
In the 2009 draft, Carroll was selected by the Grizzlies with the 27th overall pick in the first round. In his first season, he averaged only 2.9 points per game. Then he was traded to the Rockets along with Thabeet for Battier.
But in Hugh City, he only played 5 games before being waived by the Rockets. After that, Carroll went to the Nuggets and Jazz successively, but he didn't make a name for himself.
The one who really gave Carroll a chance was the Hawks. In the 13-14 season, he averaged 11.1 points and 5.5 rebounds per game, and secured his position as the team's main player.And this season, it has made great progress.
What is embarrassing is that in the first 6 seasons of his career, Carroll only earned a total of 800 million.In contrast, it is soaring.
In addition to him, Jason Richardson, a veteran player just signed by the Eagles, voluntarily gave up this non-guaranteed contract and announced his retirement.
Maybe many young fans don't know who this "slam dunk king" who has been in the league for 14 years is.
Richardson's style of play is explosive, his scoring ability is extremely strong, and he often dunks.
In his rookie season, Richardson had already made his mark.
He played 80 games on behalf of the Warriors, averaging 14.4 points per game, was successfully selected to the All-Rookie First Team, and scored 31 points in the All-Star Weekend Rookie Challenge, tying the rookie game scoring record and being elected as the rookie game MVP!
2005-06赛季，理查德森出场75次，场均得到23.2分、5.8个篮板和3.1次助攻，表现堪称个人职业生涯巅峰。
There were two bright spots in Richardson's career.
The first highlight was creating the "Black Eight Miracle" with his Golden State Warriors teammates in the 2006-07 season.
In the 2006-07 season, "Mad Scientist" Nelson was in charge of the Warriors coach.
Under the leadership of Nelson, the Warriors achieved a record of 42 wins and 40 losses and entered the playoffs as the eighth in the Western Conference.Although the regular season record was mediocre, they made history in the playoffs.
In the first round of the playoffs, the Warriors played against the top-seeded Dallas Mavericks. They defeated the Mavericks with crazy running and bombing tactics, and finally advanced with a big score of 4 to 2, creating the first black-eight miracle since the playoffs adopted the 7-game 4-win system. !
And another bright spot is the dunk.
He has won the slam dunk contest in the 2002 and 2003 seasons.
In the 2002 NBA All-Star Weekend Slam Dunk Contest, Richardson defeated the previous champion Desmond Mason and the also fledgling Roaring Tianzun to win the championship.
In the 2003 NBA All-Star Weekend Slam Dunk Contest, Richardson once again defeated Desmond Mason in the final with a stunning crotch change dunk!
He also became the first player to defend the slam dunk contest since Jordan!
Some go, and of course some enter.
After Carroll left, the Eagles immediately renewed Paul Millsap, another of the starting five.
Earlier, there was news that the Magic had offered Millsap a four-year, $4 million contract.
Many sources once believed that Millsap had a great chance to join.
But now, after some arduous negotiations, the Eagles have finally left their inside core.
The 30-year-old Millsap averaged 16.7 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 3.1 assists last season, and was named an All-Star.After the opening of the free agent market, the Pacers, Mavericks, Magic and other teams have expressed their strong interest in Millsap.Among them, the Magic was the first to offer a maximum salary offer.
The three-year $3 million contract offered by the Eagles is obviously smaller than that offered by the Magic. In the case of a series of sky-high contract extensions exposed this summer, Millsap can give up the maximum salary offered by the Magic. , Renewing the Eagles with a relatively small contract is definitely true love.
Renewing Millsap's contract is only the first step. In order to make up for the strength of the wing lineup that Carroll left, the Eagles signed a giant, Justin Holiday, the boss of the Holiday brothers, from the Warriors.
Although Holiday is an undrafted player, when the 1-meter-tall forward and guard swingman played for the Golden State Warriors last season, he averaged 98 points and 11 rebounds in 4.3 minutes per game. .
And his name also appeared in the Warriors' playoff list, which is enough to show that his performance in the Warriors is still recognized.
He is the typical 3-and-D player who can shoot three-pointers from the outside and contribute defensively.
Now this type of player is very popular in the league. They don't occupy the ball, can score, and can also defend, which has caused the value of this type of player to "slowly" rise.
