A veteran to the end of his career! Or rub a champion with a strong thigh, or which team gives more money to earn a pension money. In addition to these two cases, is there a third case? Maybe there really is, there is a saying that no brothers are not basketball.
Envy admiration? The 35-year-old refused the Lakers recruitment, signed a 18 million contract, and set a career high for three-pointers
His draft template is Maddy, but in his 16-year career, he has never been selected as an All-Star, looking at his career honors, there is only one best rookie for a while.
He's Rudy Guy, and looking at Guy's statistics on the Jazz this season, in one word,
How come you are still so fierce, playing 12 games for the Jazz this season, averaging 18.8 minutes per game, averaging 9.8 points, 5.1 boards and 1 assist per game, shooting 46.1% from the field, 41.7% from three-point range, and averaging 2.1 three-pointers per game.
Three-point shooting percentage and three-point average per game are gay's career highest, why is Gay so accurate in three-point shooting this season? There may be two reasons.
First, personal reasons
Last season, Gay was at the Spurs, the three-point shooting was very accurate, averaging 1.7 three-pointers per game, shooting 38% of the three-point shooting rate, and Gay's three-point shooting this season is just a step up. For a veteran, shooting three-pointers is the most labor-saving way to play.
Two, jazz environment
This season, the Jazz averaged 115.3 points per game, the league's first, averaging 42.6 three-point shots per game, the league's first, averaging 15.9 three-point shooting per game, the league's first, 37.2% three-point shooting rate, the league's third.
The team's five-man three-point shooting rate is more than 40%, and the six-man averages more than 2 three-pointers per game, and in such a three-point team, it is difficult for Gay not to shoot three points. This is called near Zhu is red, and near ink is black.
If you think Guy's role for the Jazz is just three-pointers, you're dead wrong.
The Jazz have two three-point shooters, Ingles and Bogdanovic, Gay's three-pointer, but the icing on the cake for the Jazz, how can the Jazz give 35-year-old Gay a 3-year, 18 million contract. You know, after 3 years, Guy will be 38 years old.
The Jazz also need Guy to shine in three ways.
One, the offensive end
Guy has played only 12 games this season, so there are too few samples, so let's look at the distribution of Guy's shots last season.
132 shots from the basket, shooting 53.8%
218 shots from mid-range with a 40% shooting percentage
277 three-pointer shots, shooting 38%,
There are no dead ends in the real offense, every space on the court is a gay shooting point, and in the playoffs, when Mitchell suffers a bag clip, is not in good shape, and Clarkson is not working, Gay may be able to step up to help the Jazz.
Second, the defensive end
When Gay is on the court this season, he has 11% of the time facing the opposing center, compared with 7.6% last season, and Gay's presence gives the Jazz a five-chance chance. By the playoffs, when Gobert is infinitely targeted on the court, Guy may be able to help the Jazz.
Third, experience
16 years of career, the Jazz's oldest player, the family has an old, such as a treasure, Guy's experience for so many years, to the playoffs, will definitely play a big role.
Looking back on this summer, the Lakers wanted to recruit Guy, but unfortunately because of Conley's lobbying, they were finally cut off by the jazz. This is called no brother no basketball.
Although the Jazz are currently third in the West, they always feel that this team does not have a championship, and Gay's decision is still incomprehensible.
Fans and friends, if there is Gay in the Lakers lineup, will the record be better than it is now? Leave me a message to discuss.
