The Strongest Bishop in the NBA

"Udri's pass was intercepted by George! The latter took the ball and scored a dunk. My God, this is really a powerful and beautiful dunk! Paul-George!!!"

With the passionate explanation by the live DJ, the atmosphere of the fans in the audience was detonated.

"PG! PG! PG!"

George's nickname resounded on the court, and people were cheering for the first-year rookie.

"This kid... is in really good shape today!"

Off the court, Butler said with some surprise after watching George's outstanding performance.

"It's really full of firepower." Jamison beside Butler couldn't help sighing.

"Yeah..." Butler nodded, "It's nice to be young."

The two thirty-year-old men tacitly turned their heads and glanced at the bench next to them. Looking around, they were all young men in their early twenties.

"But Caron, you have to pay attention, Paul has performed so well, maybe one day he will replace me or you." Jamison thought for a while, and couldn't help saying: "I'm 36 years old. This contract is already the final pension contract, but you are different, you are in the contract year..."

Butler smiled, noncommittal.

This season is indeed a very important season for Butler. The 31-year-old Butler's contract will officially expire after the end of this season, and the next contract will almost be the last high-paying contract he may get. .

In the contract year, Butler's data on the field is very important. It can almost be said that every point he gets on the field is related to the annual salary of his contract.

However, this season, Butler's data has declined further.

Butler, who averaged 15 points per game last season, has averaged only about 13 points per game this season. It can only rank fourth in the team, lower than Curry, Harden and Jamison, and only slightly higher than Green, who also started the game.

Is Butler's decline so exaggerated? Of course not. The 31-year-old Butler is still in his prime. The reason why his scoring average has dropped again and again is because of changes in his positioning and number of shots in the team.

With the further growth of Curry Harden, a large number of shots in the match are in the hands of these two, and under them, Jamison, who can provide a containment effect at the power forward position, ranks third in the number of shots.

Butler's average number of shots per game is almost the same as that of Danny Green and Paul George. How can he get excellent data?

What kind of contract can you get with 13 points per game?

This season, Jamison has reminded his old partner more than once that he should talk to the head coach and show his desire to do more.

But Butler didn't do this, and just continued to play the game silently.

"Hey, you bastard..."

Jamison sighed.

Seeing these rookies on the team grow and become stronger day by day at an astonishing rate, Jamison feels more and more that their role in the team is constantly decreasing, and they are far from the energy they had in the team two years ago .

Perhaps soon, there will be no room for them in the team...

The exclamation of the two veterans off the court was not noticed, because almost everyone's attention was on the game on the court.

The Wizards' opponent in this game is the Saramento Kings.

Due to Wang Xiao's spoiler inciting butterfly wings, the king's lineup is very different from another time and space. Tyreke Evans, the former best rookie in the 2009-10 season, did not join the Kings, but was selected by the Thunder. After partnering with Westbrook, he did not show an amazing rookie data of 20+5+5 per game. In the Thunder's first season, he only scored 15 points, 4 assists and 5 rebounds. Although it was pretty good, it was obviously far worse than Curry and Harden.

In 2009, the Kings drafted the original No. 2 pick, parallel importer Thabeet. There is no doubt that this draft was a hit.

After playing for half a season, Thabeet was sent to the Development League by the unbearable Kings. In this year's draft, the Kings selected another insider, Cousins.

The combination of Cousins ​​+ Evans of another space-time Kings team is still at the bottom of the league all the year round, not to mention that there is only one Cousins ​​left now?

So this game was a one-sided game from the beginning. The first-year rookie Cousins ​​​​had no advantage in front of the standard blue-collar Jordan Jr., and the Wizards' perimeter completely crushed the Kings. .

And the most active and outstanding performer in this game was undoubtedly Paul George.

In the second quarter of the game, George had 4 steals. His active defense awareness and keen judgment allowed him to constantly see through the opponent's passing intentions. Whenever he succeeded in stealing, he must be followed by A fast break like thunder!

At the end of the halftime game, George, who came off the bench, was actually the highest scorer in the game, scoring 17 points higher than Curry, who scored 14 points in the halftime.

Of course, as the second half of the game started, after George was replaced by Butler, he had fewer opportunities to perform. In the end, the overall statistics were 22 points, 6 rebounds, 5 steals and 2 assists.

The scoring of 22 points is a new high since George joined the NBA, and the same is true for 5 steals.

This game surprised the fans of the Wizards to find that this first-year rookie who had been mediocre before seemed to have some skills.

But the surprise that George brought them was far more than that.

Immediately following the Wizards' home game against the Nets, George broke out again.

The Nets' record this season is much better than last year. After all, they got a Jeremy Lin who almost has the strength of Kidd at his peak.

The Nets who got Jeremy Lin traded the team's original starting guard Devin Harris almost without hesitation, and built a team around the dual-core lineup of Jeremy Lin on the outside and Brook Lopez on the inside.

It is worth mentioning that the Nets failed to trade Yi Jianlian last season, and this season there is another Chinese-American Jeremy Lin, so the Nets have two starters of yellow race, which can be regarded as creating an NBA. new history.

In more than 20 games with the Nets, Jeremy Lin averaged 17.8 points, 10.3 assists and 2.8 steals per game. He is not mature on the field like a first-year rookie.

Under the leadership of Jeremy Lin, the Nets have won many games and are currently ranked sixth in the Eastern Conference.

It's a pity that the sixth place in the Eastern Conference is still not enough to see the Wizards team with the best record in the Eastern Conference and even the league.

Curry was at a disadvantage against Jeremy Lin, which seemed normal to Wang Xiao. After all, Curry was still growing at this time, and Jeremy Lin, who had been using the Kidd growth template card for 4 years, had fully grown into a No less than Kidd's super point guard at his peak.

With the team's top scoring point restricted, George stood up.
