When the news of the NBA suspension came out, not only the players were shocked, but also the fans were shocked. In order to pass the boring days without a ball game, many fans choose to turn out some old videos to recall the youth of the past.
Friends who like the Rockets should remember Omer Asik. This tall Turkish man, although his career was turbulent and displaced, his career in the Rockets was recognized by fans and loved by many fans.
On July 25, 2012, the Bulls officially announced that the team waived the contract offered by the Houston Rockets for O'myr Asik, and the Rockets signed a three-year, $25.1 million contract, of which $5 million and $5.22 million were in the first two years, and soared directly to $14.9 million in the third year.
Like Jeremy Lin's contract, Omer Asik is a well-known poison contract. You know, last season, Asik's performance with the Bulls was very dismal, averaging only 2.8 points and 3.8 rebounds in 12 minutes per game. But this was revered by the data maniac and a big fan of magic balls, Morey, who gave a big contract with a big hand.
When everyone thought that Asik's contract would be a poison contract, Asik would be a change of base salary and high energy, the performance of the stadium turned around. On December 25, 2012, in the Rockets' Christmas game against the Bulls, O'mil Asik scored 20 points, 18 rebounds and three blocks to help the Rockets beat the Bulls 120-97. This performance seems to be Omer Asik demonstrating with the Management of the Bulls: If you don't match the contract, I will make you pay!
Asik's performance did not stand still, and on February 7, 2013, in the Rockets' 108-114 away loss to the Miami Heat, O'mil Asik scored 15 points, 14 rebounds and at least 14 rebounds in six consecutive games, becoming the first player in Rockets history to achieve this achievement since Charles Barkley in 1996.
On March 25, 2013, in the Rockets' 96-95 win over the San Antonio Spurs, O'mil Asik had 14 rebounds and at least 10 rebounds in 49 games in the 2012-13 season, becoming the first player in Rockets history to achieve this achievement since Hakeem Olajuwon in the 1993-94 season.
In the 2012–13 season, O'mil Asik played in 82 regular-season games for the Rockets, averaging 10.2 points and 11.7 rebounds per game. It can be said that Asik is one of the heroes of the Rockets' entry into the playoffs after three consecutive lotto titles. Its credit is second only to the Rockets' new king of the year, James Harden, and the rising strength of small forward Parsons, and the proverbial Lin crazy - Jeremy Lin
