After the contract with the Heat expired this summer, Iguodala also chose to return to the Golden State Warriors with a base salary, originally thinking of letting him lead the team of these young people, but the 37-year-old "brother" is indeed powerless, although he scored 12 points in the opener game with the Lakers, but in many games after that, his score has never come to double digits, and after suffering a knee injury in the game against the Nets on November 17, he also missed 11 games of the Warriors. It was hard to make a comeback in the latest game against the old club 76ers, but in the next game between the Warriors and Pacers, Iguodala will be absent again.
As a once flying striker, Iguodala in the twilight of his career but even the basic attendance rate can not be guaranteed, it is really lamentable, successively suffered from injuries, I have to say that a brother is really old. After being traded to the Grizzlies by the Warriors in 19 years, Iguodala chose to directly strike and was unwilling to play for this young team, in desperation, the Grizzlies had to send him to the Miami Heat, and came to this Eastern Conference team, in view of Iguodala's outstanding performance in the Warriors before, Riley also offered him a 2-year, 30 million contract, this fat contract, for the then 35-year-old Iguodala, is indeed some gambling meaning.
But Iguodala, who took a high salary, did not play a good influence on both ends of the Offensive and Defensive ends of the Warriors period, the first season, he averaged only 4.6 points, 3.7 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game, and in the playoffs, the score dropped to 3.8 points, but when he was able to give a little strength on the offensive end, the Heat really did not necessarily lose to the Lakers in the Finals, and it was very likely that he would win the fourth championship trophy in team history in 20 years. And last season, Iguodala continued his sluggish offense, the regular season score fell again, to the worst 4.4 points of his career at that time, the shooting rate was only 38.3%, with tens of millions of annual salary but played even a basic salary player is not as good as the performance, but also let the Heat fans at the time call Iguodala a "fraudster".
After the end of the season, Iguodala also recognized that he did not implement the player option for the second year, but chose to jump out of the contract and return to the Golden State Warriors who brought him countless honors with a basic salary of 2.6 million yuan for 1 year, and in the opening game against the Lakers, he scored a double-digit score that had not been seen for a long time, which made the Heat fans angry. ”
But since the 13 games for the Warriors, Iguodala's only highlight performance is only 12 points in this opener, after which his contribution on the offensive end is almost zero, if it is not the organization of the tandem and defense is still online, I am afraid that Kerr will also have to "kill the family" and directly beat it into the cold palace. Plagued by a knee injury, Iguodala's stats this year have plummeted to their worst career-worst 3.6 points, 3.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists, shooting just 39.6 percent, 18.5 percent and 66.7 percent from the field.
Missing 11 games, hard to come back to play 1 game, and continue to watch from the sidelines, it can be seen that Iguodala is really not the "fraudster" in the mouth of the fans during the Heat, for a veteran who has entered the twilight of his career, injuries are always the biggest stumbling block that restricts them from continuing to fight, and it is no accident that this season is really the best song of this FMVP.
