On February 8, Beijing time, the Hornets lost 117-123 to the Raptors at home, although they lost, but they saw their future, the super big three have seen the embryonic shape, and will return to the playoffs within three years.
Big giant: Ball, 22 years old, 2.01 meters tall, annual salary of 10.9 million, did not play today, averaged 23.9 points, 5.1 rebounds, 8.0 assists, 1.8 steals and 0.2 blocks per game this season, averaged 3.2 three-pointers per game, and the shooting rate was 35.5%, although Ball is 2.01 meters tall, his feet are very flexible, and his playing enjoyment is not inferior to Irving, with accurate three-point points, creative passing, and a higher ceiling than Haliburton.
Big Two: Bridges, 25 years old, 2.01 meters tall, with an annual salary of 7.92 million, got 45 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists today, and made 6 of 11 three-pointers. This season, he averaged 21.9 points, 7.2 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.6 blocks per game, and averaged 2.5 three-pointers per game while shooting 36.9% from the field. Explosive physical fitness, full of power to play, able to attack, defend and pass, is a rare all-round striker.
Big Three: Miller, 21 years old, 2.06 meters tall, annual salary of 10.88 million, got 20 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 steals and 1 block today; averaged 16.5 points, 3.9 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.5 blocks per game this season, averaged 2.3 three-pointers per game, and shot 38.3%, Miller recently scored 20+ points in 6 consecutive games, averaging 27.6 points per game, and the limelight even overshadowed Wembanyama.
The average age of the Big Three is 22.6 years old, and they are more than 2 meters tall, which is very much in line with the standards of modern basketball.
With Rozier gone, Hayward injured (expected to be traded next season), and now that Ball is really in charge, with Bridges and Miller, the Hornets are just around the corner, and this team is as talented and capable as the Pacers, and will be back in the playoffs in three seasons.
Postscript: Hayward, with an annual salary of 31.5 million, has been injured for 22 consecutive games, and Lowry, with an annual salary of 29.68 million, has not played a game since he was traded to the Hornets, and the Hornets have raised two "idlers" for 61.18 million.
