I saw a piece of data about Wei Shao.
Since Christmas, Willis has averaged 14.6 points, 6.9 rebounds and 7.3 assists per game, shooting 61 percent from the field and limiting opponents to 29.4 percent three-point shooting.
If you just look at the data and don't look at the names of the players, in the current NBA league, it is not too much to get an annual salary of 20 million, right? Even, I said less...
Josh Giddey, who averaged 11.9 points, 6.9 rebounds and 6.7 assists per game with the Bulls this season, shooting 44.4% from the field and ranking 214th in the league in defensive efficiency, is going after a 100 million contract.
Wei Shao's contract with the Nuggets is $6.8 million for two years.
Today, let's talk about him again.
Last October, I said he wasn't good because he really wasn't doing well.
At that time, I said that the turtle did not play well, and he would hurt the team a lot of times on the field, is this "black"?
He shot 2-of-18 from the field in two games, shooting 11.1 percent, the worst shooting percentage in the NBA in the past 10 years. In addition, his first-level malicious foul on the Raptors Barnes is quite dangerous.
Three months later, Wei Shao played well, which is also a fact.
If you should praise, you must praise.
At this time, we will only talk about things at the basketball level, let's talk about good personalities, don't talk about Tang costumes, these aspects.
When he first went to the Nuggets, many people felt that he didn't have the ability to survive in the NBA.
Here's the question:The basic salary player, after three months, how is it amazing?
Let me tell you my personal opinion.
First, the young master's mentality is different.
As an athlete, if you want to play well, "Passion" is naturally important.
However, it is equally important to play with a smooth mindset.
As for the young master, whether it was the Lakers or the Clippers, big city teams, and the spotlight before. If you play well, it will naturally blow you to the sky, but when you don't play well, the fans can't wait to dig up the player's ancestral grave.
Especially when you play next to James, you need to take a lot more pressure.
During his time with the Lakers, Wei Shao missed a ball, and he may hesitate when dealing with the next ball.
Then, a vicious circle was formed...
"If I can't shoot, will the coach and fans scold me?"
He is not a guard who is good at shooting, and if he is still afraid of wolves and tigers at this time, it will only be worse.
At the Nuggets, it's different.
Take a small example: the young master is equivalent to going from a big Internet factory in the big city of Shanghai to a private company in a small city to work.
The environment is different, the money he makes is different, and the company's requirements for him are no longer necessary.
Mentality will also change.
If the young master is still a player with an annual salary of tens of millions and plays in Los Angeles, it will still be difficult for him to play...
Second, the teammates around me are different.
I've always had a personal point of view,If an athlete can't play or play with a big brother like Mr. Yu and Curry, then you "don't blame the government for your life" and find more reasons for yourself.
Pork belly, the first person in the league today, he and his teammates are too adaptable.
Why can Wei Shao play with him?
1. Mr. Yue has a terrifying feeling of finishing near the basket.
The young master suddenly divided, looking for the eldest brother's next shun, will he?
2. Mr. Yoo's 3-point shooting rate this season is 47.3%, first in the league, and he can hit 2.2 three-pointers per game.
After blocking and dismantling, give Mr. Yue a chance to bomb, this Wei Shaohui, right?
There is the most accurate three-point hand to open up space, and the young master can also make a breakthrough, right?
3. There is basically no solution to ask the teacher one-on-one.
Wei Shao can't go up, dismantle the bomb for the eldest brother, is this okay?
4. Teacher Ask can also pass the ball.
Then you may ask, when the teacher is not fighting, why can the young master still play?
To see the good in him.
Wei Shao has a lot of shortcomings, but he has a few points that he is good at, such as blocking and dismantling with big centers, such as playing offensive and defensive conversions, such as air cutting.
In this Nuggets, it can meet his needs on the ball end.
If you still let Wei Shao smoke in the bottom corner, it is purely what he is not good at.
Giving him the ball, Murray and Porter are outside gunners, and Jordan Jr. is responsible for covering and grabbing the board, which is also a single mode for the Nuggets in a no-contract state.
Young master, he will always be an athlete who needs to have the ball to play comfortably, which cannot be changed.
In addition to recognizing his performance this season, I was also amazed by his ability.
Jokic also trusts his teammate and allows Wei to make mistakes, and the latter's style of play is also very good for the team.
So in a sense, it was Comrade Pork Belly who "saved" the young master.
Jokic is probably the most well-rounded No. 5 in NBA history, and his high-end stats are unbeatable.
If I can't get the regular season MVP this season when I'm healthy, then I can only have one reason, and that is that the Nuggets aren't ranked in the top four in the West.
Alexander is good, Thunder is outstanding.
But I always think that Mr. Yue's performance, his game influence, and containment are unique. (Perhaps, it's me, a Lakers fan, who has been convinced...) ๏ผ
To put it bluntly, if the Nuggets don't have him, they're a proper "garbage team", a bunch of leftover players. (Wei Shao can play, and it has something to do with this.) ๏ผ
Therefore, the Spring Festival is coming, and it is recommended that Wei Shao send two more fruit baskets to Mr. Yue...
