The CBA Finals have reached their third game, which means that the season is coming to an end. Although the offseason has not officially begun, four managers have announced the end of the class since the playoffs. The teams that have been eliminated have now even begun to strengthen and renew their contracts. Some teams have already begun to select foreign aid for next season, while some teams have even locked in new foreign aid candidates. In the offseason, teams with goals seek reinforcements or trades. And the performance of players in this game will often determine their value in the offseason market. This season, there have been some top-salary players who have performed too badly, and these players will also make the teams take a warning. And when it comes to the worst D-salary player in this year's playoffs, it is probably the following player.
The player, who is 28 years old and plays as a big forward, has taken the team's only Category D top salary contract this season. But in the playoffs, he averaged only 2 points and 1.7 rebounds per game, shooting only 33.3% from the field, which was extremely bad. As the only top-paid player in the team, he not only failed to help, but dragged the whole team back, and even was directly abandoned by the head coach in some games.
And the player's team can even be said to be a big dark horse in this season's playoffs. Fans familiar with the CBA have probably guessed that this player is The Dai Huaibo of the Jilin Men's Basketball Team. As the poorest team in the CBA, the Jilin men's basketball team eliminated the local tycoon team Beijing Shougang this season without being optimistic, allowing fans to see the ambition of this team. The fighting spirit of the Jilin players who did not accept defeat also impressed the fans. But in this poorest CBA team, the only Dai Huaibo with a D top salary, but almost always sleepwalking, very bad performance.
In the regular season, Dai Huaibo averaged 6.3 points and 2.8 rebounds per game, shooting only 38.1% from the field and 27.6% from three-point range, which can be said to be a sharp decline compared to last season. But I didn't expect that in the playoffs, Dai Huaibo's performance would be so much worse. As a player who has played in the Jilin men's basketball team for 5 seasons, Dai Huaibo's performance is somewhat sorry for the fans. I really don't know if it is because I got the top salary contract, but I have no fighting spirit. What is even more depressing to Jilin men's basketball fans is that Dai Huaibo's contract has three years left at the end of this season. With the performance of Dai Huaibo, even if it is traded, probably no other team will be interested.
Dai Huaibo has been in the Jilin men's basketball team for so many years, and he did not expect that after getting this four-year big contract, he would suddenly not play. In the previous three seasons, although Dai Huaibo's performance was not top-notch, it could at least be said to be stable. He has been in the Jilin men's basketball team for so long, giving him a maximum salary, most fans will not have much opinion. But after taking the big contract, Dai Huaibo was like losing his fighting spirit. In the next few seasons, I don't know if Dai Huaibo can regain himself and play his due performance. If the next generation of Huaibo's performance is still so bad, then this contract can really only be regarded as a pension contract for him, after all, there will be no other team to take over. However, I still hope that Dai Huaibo will only find the state for a while, and he can find the rhythm of the game through training in the offseason and prove his worth again next season.
Although there are other top-paid players who have performed well this season, the only one who has played this performance at the peak age and has such a long contract is Dai Huaibo. Therefore, Dai Huaibo can be said to be the worst top salary player in this year's playoffs.
