The three-goal play was outstanding, and Hayward was reduced to a garbage contract
After chatting about the game process, let's talk about the players' play, this three-ball 27 shooting 15, three-point 11 5 scored 36 points, 9 rebounds, 8 assists, 1 steal and 1 block, the recent three-ball frequently played an excellent performance, he has scored 28+ points in the past four games, if the current state continues, even if the Hornets record is not good enough, it is estimated that the three goals will have a chance to score into the All-Star.
Hayward is now reduced to a garbage contract, 6 of 15 shots in this game, 0 of 3 three-pointers scored 20 points and 2 assists, facing his old club Hayward is still playing at a super level, he scored 1 point in the past two games with 7 shots, 2 points from 9 shots, and a total of 31 shots and 23 points in the last three games, you must know that his annual salary this season is 31.5 million, which is too premium, this is the strongest white man in the league in the past!
Bridges came to the starter, Washington came to the bench, to be honest, Washington should not be on the bench, his performance so far this season is very good, compared to Miller who should be on the bench, because Miller and the starters are not comfortable playing together, he played well in the sixth man before, this game scored 6 points and 5 rebounds on 3-of-11 shooting, Washington scored 15 points, Bridges got 14 points, 14 rebounds and 5 assists.
Tatum is on fire, and Brown can't be an equal to Tatum
Tatum shot 15 of 28 from the field, 6 of 12 three-pointers scored 45 points, 13 rebounds, 6 assists and 1 block, after the beginning of this season, Tatum is even better than last year, his progress is indeed very obvious every year, it can be seen that he has made a lot of efforts in the offseason, and when it comes to Tatum, I have to mention Brown, Brown insisted on a big contract of 300 million in the offseason, he just said that he does not think he is Tatum's deputy, and thinks that the two are players at the same level.
As a result, Brown is still far behind, before Brown said in front of the media that he practiced passing control hard in the offseason, and the result is that his passing control is still very bad, how can a player who does not have the ability to hold the ball steadily become the absolute core of the team? Brown scored 13 points on 5-of-17 shooting in this game, 0-of-3 three-pointers, his performance is too inconsistent is the biggest problem, and in the last game against the Grizzlies, he scored 12 points on 16-of-16 shooting.
So far this season, he has averaged 22 points, 5.1 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.1 steals per game, and his performance is really sorry for his 300 million contract. In addition, Porzingis scored 17 points and 8 rebounds, Pritchard scored 21 points and 6 rebounds, and Holiday scored 11 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists. Speaking of which, what do you have to say about the current Celtics and Hornets?
