Rockets against the defending champion Bucks, although unfortunately lost the game, but this game Rockets played very well, the score is also more anxious, alphabet brother played 36 minutes to get 41 points and 17 rebounds to win the game, so the Bucks won not easy, both teams have played a number of offensive tides, the two teams are also alternate lead scores, the final key moment Middleton God played to make the game lose suspense.
Although the Rockets lost but won respect, first experienced 15 consecutive losses, and then won 7 consecutive wins This is a record, and the Rockets' starting lineup except Gordon, all other players are not selected, losing to the defending champion is not shameful at all, Middleton's salary is equivalent to the Rockets starting lineup salary.
Wood lost $13.66 million in the draft, Gordon $18.21 million, Matthews lost $1.67 million, Tate lost $1.52 million in the draft and Brooks lost $1.49 million in the draft.
Matthews is now the hottest player in the league, and his recent performance can be said to be very good, Matthews is a pure bench player at the beginning of the season, there is no time to play, but the team Green's injured team lineup has changed a lot, the head coach gave Matthews a chance, let Tate get more playing time, followed by a wave of seven consecutive wins, which made the leader-eyed Green embarrassed.
In an interview, Green also said that he was very embarrassed, hoping that when he returned to the team, he would not affect the atmosphere of the current team, I think the team should not let Green return for the time being, although it has experienced a defeat, but it cannot deny the performance of the whole team.
Matthews is now the Rockets' main three-point shooter, 23 points, 4 rebounds, 2 steals and 2 blocks in the game against the Bucks, hit 6 three-pointers, in the game against the Nets, Matthews was treated by the MVP, the whole game defense Harden led to 8 mistakes, successive steals Harden mentality collapsed, the Rockets' home stadium sounded the MVP's call, for a lost draft, a pure bench player, heard the fans such cheers, the heart was excited.
According to media reports, Matthews' contract extension has been exposed, Matthews' performance Rockets will definitely renew his contract, on the one hand, it is 3 years and 10 million, but it has been denied by some media, and the annual salary of 3 million is indeed a bit low, if the Rockets are not willing to give a middle-class contract, I think there will be a team to extend an olive branch.
Another source is 4 years and 24 million, and there will be some treaties in the contract, such as rewards for hitting three-pointers in a single season, rewarding for playoff three-point hits, and rewarding for playing time. The mini middle-class contract with an annual salary of 6 million, in fact, for such a shooter-type player, it is only just a result, the annual salary of 6 million is already good, but some media mind should not be a four-year contract, three years is the most appropriate, because it is a shooter-type player unstable factor is also more, the incentive clause in the contract can not be less, three years can completely prove their projection ability, then the big contract will not be small.
All this should actually be indirectly thanks to Green's absence, without Green's absence, Matthews may still be sitting on the bench, or even unemployed at the end of the season, how big contract do you think Matthews deserves?
