After the trading deadline
There is an effect produced by a transaction
It surprised Big Tu ge
That's a deal between the Pelicans and trailblazers
Pelicans under the leadership of Warbler Song
A change from the decadence of the beginning of the season
Came to the door of the play-offs
Theoretically get CJ's of them
Should go further
But it didn't
CJ joined the Pelicans with 1 win and 4 losses
There are still 2 wins away from the tenth Blazers
And it should be messed up
Trailblazers whose grades have slipped are surprising
They seem to be stronger
Got a 4-game winning streak
Among them faced the storm of youth grizzly bears
Morant, who faced the rampage, scored 44 points and 11 assists
The Trail Blazers didn't collapse
Instead, he survived to the end and won the victory
And the key to leading them to victory
It was Anthony Simmons
He spent the first three years of his career
He averaged 3.8 points, 8.3 points and 7.8 points per game
Simmons is often mentioned
It's basically the Nets' Ben
And not Avonni of the Trailblazers
Career to this day
He won the best individual award
It is the dunk king of the 2021 All-Star
But because of the departure of Gordon and Lavin
The All-Star dunk dimmed again
If not
Can you recall that Anfenni Simmons was the dunk king?
His performance was not stunning
It's not that individuals don't work hard
But sometimes the course of history is also very important
Coincidence
Meet CJ leaving, Lillard nests the Blazers
Simmons' always-ready attitude
Let him seize the opportunity
A brilliant light bloomed
4 matches after the trade deadline
As the core of the team's backcourt
Simmons handed over the following report card
Against the Lakers on February 10, he shot 11-of-23 and had 29 points and five assists.
Against the Knicks on Feb. 13, he shot 30 points, five rebounds and eight assists on 11-of-23 shooting;
Feb. 15 against the Bucks, shooting 12-of-24, 31 points, 2 rebounds and 6 assists;
Against the Grizzlies on Feb. 17, he shot 11-of-18 and grabbed 31 points, three rebounds and six assists.
The average is one
30.3 points, 2.5 rebounds and 6.3 assists
Scored 5.8 three-pointers per game
The first 30 games of his career
Simmons made 113 three-pointers in 25 starts
The most historical
Season so far
Simmons averaged 17 points per game
The three-point rate is 40%.
A Portland rising star
It's already rising
Take another look
The Blazers want to rebuild around Lillard
Suddenly it was a bit like they had fooled Lillard before
So Offseason Lillard went away
It doesn't seem like it's impossible
Simmons takes off
Smith, who was more capable of flying than he was, landed
The Trailblazers are officially announced
Dennis Smith suffered a torn ligament in part of his right elbow
It will be reviewed after 3 to 4 weeks
Dennis Smith entered the NBA with the aura of genius
Before the draft
He was selected by ESPN as the number one point guard for the class of 2016
That is, outside of Fultz
Defenders are hot and he's still hot
Static talent is not bad
He is 188 tall and has an arm span of 191
But it has a historical level of dynamic talent
Bounces up to 122 cm
It is the proud son of heaven that James is optimistic about
pity
Senior high school encountered ACL tearing
Highlighted his already problematic shots
So the 17-year draft fell to the ninth pick
But fate gave him a trump card
He has one more ligament than anyone else
Can take off again a month after injury
Even fly higher
Outrageous, god favors, there is no!!
Enter the NBA
He averaged 15+5+3 per game in his first year
Selected for the Best Rookie Second Team
Dallas people began to enjoy watching tv (Nickname Smith Jr.) perform
But fate's preference is limited
The following year Dallas welcomed Doncic, a cornerstone that could be used for 20 years
Smith's inefficiencies were thoroughly exposed
(First year three hits: 39.5%/1.3%/69.4%)
The Lone Ranger gave a year
Smith didn't improve much
And Doncic shines brightly
So Smith was sent to the Knicks
At that time, the rotten ni had not yet been lifted up the wall
Smith could only play worse and worse
But I was not convinced
He was not willing to sink into this
The shipwreck applied to go to the Development Alliance
Then left the Knicks
The Pistons also played a certain performance
So this season the Blazers gave him a contract
Now injuries come to the door
There are only Two months left in the regular season
Smith's slower recovery is the season reimbursement
Take another look at his report card
He averaged 5.4 points per game
Hit rate 41%
Three-point rate19.2%
Each opportunity did not change the initial shortcomings
I'm afraid this is going to fade out of the NBA
