Oladipo has not been smooth in the past few seasons, and even suffered many serious injuries, Oladipo also refused a contract of more than 100 million yuan, and finally could only take a base salary of $2.39 million in the Heat, which once became a joke. After the Return of the Heat, Oladipo did not play very well, averaging only 12.4 points and 3.5 assists per game in the regular season, which was already a new career low, and even abandoned by the Heat at one point. When everyone thought he was going to slip like Thomas Jr., Oladipo took his chance in the playoffs, and after Lowry's injury, Oladipo got playing time and proved himself again.
In fact, at the beginning of the playoffs, Oladipo did not have playing time, and the first three games did not even have a minute of playing time. This is a lot of blows for Oladipo. But he was always ready, and when he came to game four, Lowry was injured and Oladipo got the chance to play. Although he only scored 6 points, he had 8 boards and 4 assists. By the fifth game, Oladipo had 36 minutes to play, and had 23 points and 3 steals, shooting 8-of-16 from the field. In these two games, Oladipo played well on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, especially the 23 points in a single game, which gave him a lot of confidence.
Seeing Oladipo play so well, Spoo also gave him a steady playing time, and when he came to the series with the 76ers, Oladipo was once again surprised. Like in the G2 of the two sides, Oladipo broke out again, scoring 19 points and 6 boards, shooting 6 of 11 from the field, and scoring 10 points in the final quarter, becoming one of the heroes of the Heat to win the game. Oladipo is really good, not only is he offensively excellent, he can play without the ball, he can hold the ball, and he is also strong defensively, and the defensive end does a good job of restricting Harden and others. Oladipo's performance in the final quarter even blew harden.
In fact, the 76ers played a good game, and they still bit the game after the third quarter, relying on Maxi's outbreak, they were still chasing points in the fourth quarter. However, Oladipo stepped up, hit multiple three-point shots, and was able to hit the basket to score, scoring 10 points in a single quarter and playing the fourth quarter. And what was Harden doing in the fourth quarter? Three-point shots, no inside line, obsessed with cheating fouls, and being defended by people like Oladipo and Tucker, with no chance of scoring. In addition to hardening on the offensive end, the defense can't keep up, and both ends of the offense and defense are like sleepwalking, completely blown up by Oladipo.
I can't believe it! Now Oladipo can still blow harden. Oladipo is now 30 years old, and the 30-year-old has revived and staged the return of the king. It's so rare that he can still erupt now, knowing that Oladipo has suffered multiple serious injuries, having suffered a serious injury while on the Pacers and another serious injury last season. He played only 24 games last season and only 8 regular season games this season. Many people are no longer optimistic about Oladipo, after all, frequent injuries have hit him hard. However, don't forget that Oladipo is called "Bitter Mamba" by fans, he is a player who is difficult to endure.
Even though he was injured many times, even if he could only get a basic salary, Oladipo has not given up. Now in the playoffs, he's got the chance to prove himself again. Seeing Oladipo's performance, it is no wonder that he dares to refuse the 100 million yuan contract, if he can maintain such offensive and defensive performance, he really has the opportunity to get another 100 million yuan contract. Even Harden has the opportunity to get a maximum salary of more than 200 million, and Oladipo's contract can not be less. Hopefully, the 30-year-old will be able to step out of the shadows and play an All-Star performance.
