Here he comes, he really is coming!
According to Marc Stein, the Pacers plan to keep their disciples until the end of the season!
The last time he played for an NBA team was back in the 18-19 season with the Lakers.
At that time, the Lakers were full of wounded soldiers, and the master and disciple also earned a lot of playing time, with 7.2 points, 3.2 boards and 2.1 assists. Among them, "shaking down" Jeff Green has become a famous scene in his career.
The Lakers' time is happy but short.
At the end of the season, the master and disciple unconsciously faded out of the NBA. In the 19-20 season, he came to play for the CBA Liaoning team.
He played in 29 games, averaged 35 minutes per game, contributed 26.7 points, 7.4 boards, 3.8 assists, 1.1 steals, shooting 52% from the field and 30% from three-point range.
The data is average, the hit rate is more general, as the NBA forward of the year of the game, the report card handed over by the master and disciple is obviously unqualified. In fact, these are not the most important, the key is that from the perspective of on-field performance, the integration of the master and the Liaoning team is not good.
First, the master and disciple are hot-headed, sometimes blindly pursuing singles, and there are many average mistakes per game, which wastes many good opportunities for teammates, and the Liaoning double gun cannot play any linkage;
Second, the attitude of the game is a bit lazy. The offense is OK, the defense is not very active. Leaking people and eye defense are common things, and how many fans feel helpless during that time;
The third is to be too emotional. As we all know, once the master and disciple are stimulated, they can easily fall into excessive emotions. In the extraordinary 12 games held in Macau that year, the CBA Liaoning team vs the Philippine Telecom team, the master and disciple once poked their fingers in the face; in the CBA regular season, he and the Xinjiang team's big foreign aid Stokes also had a conflict.
With various on-field problems, the master and disciple bid farewell to the CBA stage and came to the development league to wait for the opportunity to return.
Finally, in the new season swept by the epidemic, the master and brother were first taken away by the Hawks' 10-day contract, and then the former parent team Pacers also threw an olive branch.
Played four games in the Pacers, and the master and disciple lived up to expectations. In the last two games, he repeatedly set league and individual records.
Vs the Nets, the first quarter slashed 20 points, the master and brother also became the first player in NBA history to appear as a substitute in the first quarter to score 20 points, that game he was 12 of 19, 4 of 8 three-pointers, and smashed 30 points, 3 boards and 5 assists;
Vs Jazz a match, the master and brother 12 of 7, cut 16 points, 6 boards, 14 assists and 4 steals, of which 14 assists are a new career high, and 4 steals also tied the personal career record!
It's crazy, with 30 points + a record 14 assists in a single game! Such a performance was actually played by the master and disciple who left the NBA for two years. Dare to feel that his instruction manual has always been pinched to death by the walkers?
Not to mention, since the master and disciple came, I suddenly felt that the walkers were strong and strong
The master and disciple not only convinced the fans with continuous super-burning performances, but also won the hearts of the old owners, and a contract was decisively signed to the end of the season.
By the way, on the 20th of this month, Beijing time, the Pacers road trip will come to Los Angeles! This also means that the number one Zhan Blow is going to be in the same position as the old man again!
We don't know if we can see the famous scene of these two brothers again, I look forward to it!
