The Kings lost 96-112 at home to the Lone Ranger, each 1-1 to end this three-day two-game encounter, the last game has not had time to blow it, today it is back to the original form.
And others Doncic has not yet played, some are the future, some are room for progress, what does the king have?
Brunson played well when Doncic was there, and when Doncic was absent, Brunson was even fiercer.
Today Brunson had 23 points, five rebounds and eight assists on 11-of-19 shooting, combing the Lone Ranger's offense comfortably.
That fat man is probably in a hurry now, and if he doesn't come back to the position of the team's brain, he will not be able to keep it!
Brunson has scored in double figures in 16 consecutive games, and in the past 8 games, he has scored 20+ 5 times, and during Doncic's absence, Brunson can average 20.8 points and 7.3 assists per game, although it is not as good as Doncic, but Brunson has proved that he has the ability to be unique!
No comparison, no harm, today's fight, I feel that Brunson should be a star with a top salary of 170 million, Fox is not.
Fox shot 3-of-14 from the field, 1 of 3-of-3 three-pointers, only 10 points and 7 assists, not to mention more, but to say that this is the data that a player with a maximum salary of 170 million should play, it is indeed a bit undeserved.
It is not aimed at Fox, play well, play poor staring at the thorn, offseason Yang someone also said that Fox has evolved again, a hard work to train themselves to be more than Wei less.
But there is one thing to say, instability is still Fox's biggest problem, good and bad, the upper and lower limits are amazing, in our words, come and go quickly, then how can you save money.
Like this one, the first quarter was still playing well, 3 of 4 in a single quarter to get 10 points, but the last three quarters suddenly pulled the crotch, 10 shots all lost 1 point, the first quarter was still leading the King, slowly collapsed, and finally lost miserably.
It's no wonder that everyone talks about Fox's 170 million contract every day, saying that he is the most watery top-paid player, and when you are not worthy of the position, it is always easy to become the focus of discussion.
Although Simmons is often met, but people have a defensive skill, the team without him is also a visible decline, and Simmons is not his own refusal to play, so that the 76ers have the opportunity to fine him, the current 76ers can deduct Simmons' salary according to the rules has accumulated more than ten million, Simmons's 170 million contract is also dissatisfied.
At that point in the offseason, there was news that the Kings wanted Simmons and was the most active suitor, and it was not known whether the Kings would restart negotiations before the deal deadline.
Anyway, the second-year show Haliburton has become more and more like a cornerstone of the team, at least more stable than Fox, and steady in the show.
Today Haliburton shot 6 of 10, 4 of 5 three points to get 17 points, 4 rebounds and 10 assists, it is really stable, the past 8 games Haliburton has 7 games to get two double-doubles, although can not be directly compared, but the cruel fact is that Fox this season's assists have not been in doubles for the time being.
Haliburton's average three-point shooting rate of 42.7% per game also beats Fox (25.2%), and it is not necessary to go 1 to stay 1, but if you have to face a 2-out-of-1 situation, it is estimated that the more versatile Halburton is better.
