Speaking of Jeff Green, it was the No. 5 show of the same year as Durant, the two were the thunder's original twin stars, and the only two players who played for the supersonics in the current game, the two worked together for three and a half years, did not achieve much, the Thunder wanted to change, Durant was absolutely core can not move, and finally can only trade Green, Green was sent to the Celtics not long before he was diagnosed with heart disease, in order to continue to play on the field, he chose to undergo bypass surgery and rest for a season, it is this disease, Making the team reluctant to invest too much in him also made him start a wandering journey.
This season's Nuggets is the 11th team he has played in 15 years of his career, the 4-year 36 million contract signed by the rookie and the Green Army at the end of the 4-year contract is already the longest contract of his career, the 2016-17 contract with the Magic for 15 million is the highest annual salary he got, in the 2019-20 season, Green, who signed a veteran base salary with the Jazz, averaged 7.8 points per game, shooting only 38.5%, and then was cut to face the situation of no ball to play It was the Rockets who gave him a chance, and in the second half of the season he improved his stats to 12.2 points and shot 56.4 percent from the field.
In the Rockets is Harden let Green glow the second spring of his career, originally he planned to continue to stay here, with Westbrook to leave the team, Green can only choose to go to the Nets to run to the old comrade Durant, in the middle of the season Harden came to the Nets, Green also had the opportunity to impact the championship with the team, but unfortunately the injury made the Nets fall at the feet of the Bucks, but Green's performance is still very good, especially with the Bucks' Battle of Tianwangshan, Green three-pointers 8 shots 7 shots down 27 points, is the biggest contributor to the team's victory, Such a performance has increased his value, and the Nuggets have given a 2-year, 9 million contract to let Green finally get rid of the basic salary, and the Nets have no space to match and can only choose to give up.
Coming to the Nuggets, Green once again got the opportunity to play with the MVP, although Jokic and Harden played in a completely different position, but the two are both holding the ball big core play, there are still many similarities, due to Porter Jr.'s season reimbursement, Green got the starting opportunity, averaging 24.8 minutes per game, contributing 10.3 points and 3.1 boards, shooting 52.3%, compared with last season at the Nets, Green's three-point shooting rate dropped from 41.2% to 31.1%, However, his shooting percentage on the inside has risen from 60.6% to 67.9%, and overall efficiency has not declined.
Green is already a 35-year-old veteran this year, but did not feel the decline in his physical function, the game can often see him running in the front of the counterattack, but also constantly staged the top ten ball level dunk good, can really be described as "old and strong" "rejuvenation", although his three points are not stable last season, but he is still a trusted teammate at a critical moment, the current Nuggets ranking has been hovering between sixth and seventh, a ranking gap is related to whether the team wants to play the playoffs, When the game against the Clippers was 4 minutes left in the fourth quarter, the Clippers chased the point difference to 5 points, it was Green's three-pointer to pull the score away again, and with 43 seconds left in the fourth quarter, it was Green's three-point shot that pulled the score away to 12 points to completely kill the game, and winning the Clippers also brought the Nuggets back to sixth.
Many veterans hope to go to the championship team to win the championship ring at the end of their careers, but for Green, heart disease has made him lose too many opportunities to get a big contract, choosing the Nuggets to get more money is the right choice, after all, playing is his profession, he also needs to support his family, just hope that Green can play better and better, come on!
