As the "second generation of stars", Peyton Jr.'s career has been bumpy and tortuous, he has repeatedly become a tramp in his past career, and it is difficult to gain a foothold in a team. Until this season with the Warriors, Payton Jr. used his passion and defense to successfully occupy an important rotation seat.
Now facing a frantic battle with the Grizzlies, when the Grizzlies chased a 102-102 draw in the final moments, after Anderson scored two points first, the moment came for Payton Jr. to perform. With 1 minute and 12 seconds left in the final quarter, Payton Jr. received Anderson's wonderful pass, hitting his fourth three-pointer of the game to help the Warriors extend their five-point advantage, and Curry's subsequent layup and two free throws completely killed the game.
Throughout the game, Payton Jr. played quite efficiently, giving him a crosshair of 9 of 16, scoring 22 points and ranking second on the team, and the only player in the Warriors besides Curry to score in double figures. Payton Jr., in particular, set a new career record for 4 of 7 three-pointers from the outside, after hitting three three-pointers.
Payton Jr. has proven himself, and he only has a $1.98 million non-guaranteed contract this season, so Peyton Jr. is expected to strive for a "regularization" as soon as possible, allowing the Warriors to convert his contract to a guaranteed contract.
