Beijing time on March 10, the lone ranger sat at their home to usher in the challenge with the Knicks, although the Knicks are currently only the level of the bottom of the East, but before today's game, they have ushered in a wave of two consecutive wins, the momentum is fierce, the result of the home battle of the lone ranger really overturned the ship in the gutter, and finally lost 77 to 107 opponents by 30 points, and the two new signings who just joined the Lone Ranger not long ago in this game are playing, and it is a heaven and an underground. This campaign Dinwiddie played 28 minutes off the bench, scored 13 points on 3-of-8 shooting, continued his steady performance of scoring in double figures, while Bertans scored 6 of 6, the whole game did not score a point, since joining the Lone Ranger, Bertans has only scored double figures in 2 games, and the rest of the games, playing iron has basically become his "routine operation".
The 29-year-old Bertans was actually selected by the Pacers as early as the 11th draft, but he did not enter the NBA immediately, but continued to play in the Europa League, and finally in the 16-17 season, the then 24-year-old Bertans was able to go to the NBA and join the Spurs (after being selected by the Pacers at the time, he was then traded to the Spurs). And the Latvian anti-aircraft gun, who has a stunning performance in Europe, has been named "Latvian Laser" because of his fast and accurate three-point shot, and after coming to the Spurs, Bertans also broke through in the league with his signature skill.
In the 18-19 season, when Bertans handed over the best 8 points and 3.5 rebounds in his Spurs career 42.9% three-point shooting rate, but in the offseason, the Spurs traded him to the Wizards to free up salary space, and spurs coach Popovich also expressed his full blessings to Bertans at that time: "He arranged everything well, he did a good job, he will have a great NBA career." ”
In the first season of joining the Wizards, Bertans did play a career masterpiece, averaging a career-best 15.4 points and 4.5 rebounds per game, and the three-point shooting rate was still maintained below the standard of 42.4%, and the Wizards in the summer of 20 years also specially offered him a 5-year 80 million fat contract.
I thought that after taking this high salary, Bertans will continue to show his extraordinary skills of "Latvian Laser", becoming another very representative space Type No. 4 position in the league, the result is not long, because of the weakness of the defensive end, coupled with his own playing style is gradually targeted by opponents, Bertans in the next two seasons, the data is declining, to this season, he is directly abandoned by the new coach Unseld Jr., averaging only 5.7 points per game, and the three-point shooting rate has plummeted to 31.9%.
Originally thought that joining the Lone Ranger's "international team" after having Doncic to feed the cake, Bertans can regain the second spring, unfortunately it backfired, after coming to this new team, Bertans seems to have completely lost his signature three-point skill pack, completely became a blacksmith, as of now, he only averages 5.3 points per game, three-point shooting rate is only the lowest 29.5% of his career, since the 9 games for the Lone Ranger, Bertans has only two games of three-point shooting rate exceeded 50%. Now even Doncic can't save him, and Bertans' remaining 3-year, 49 million garbage contract can only make Cuban "tearful".
