The Lakers have won 3 consecutive games for the first time in the season, and Wei Shao has also played two consecutive games. So can he be the “Best Sixth Man” this season?
Although the competition is fierce, Wei Shao is still very competitive with this award, because he not only scores, assists and rebounds are his strengths, plus he is the king of history and has been an MVP, sacrifice yourself to play substitute in order to win, and you can get a lot of sympathy and praise points.
With the current concept of davinham’s platoon, weishao is unlikely to return to the starting line, except for some special sessions, for example, No. 1 is seriously short of people due to injuries. When Wei Shao just played a few substitute games, coach Ham said, “I have a goal, which is selfish, just to let everyone start talking at a certain time, said he could be the best sixth person. Then why not start now? At the beginning of our game, he stepped forward and gave us a great impetus. His role was everywhere, all in a positive and creative way.”
Ham has a trick, that is, to coax you first with sweet words, and to stand you high with a ladder, which makes you embarrassed to turn over and unable to climb high. As soon as he said, weishao was unlikely to propose to start again. Even if James was injured and suspended, weishao still played a substitute.
However, Wei Shao must have thought that it is not difficult to get a big contract with a substitute, and the award of “best sixth person” is helpful for the discount of the new contract to be less severe. Therefore, being the “best sixth person” once is the best of both worlds.
In fact, the substitute is not good. It is “the sixth person” and “the best” to say it well, but after each game is hot, it will take half an hour to play, no one can judge the situation on the court. Sometimes the first group of the starting set the advantage, when you play, the gap will narrow, sometimes the starting group will lose too much, and you will be backward when playing. It is obviously the starting material, but it needs to be replaced. It cannot be played badly. This is why Ginobili is so amazing.
Wei Shao played a substitute, and the effect was very obvious. So far, he has also accomplished the task well.
At the beginning of the season, Wei Shao played three starting games, with an average of 10.3 points, 6.7 rebounds and 4.3 assists. The three games were all lost, which was completely a continuation of last season’s football style. Weishao’s shooting problem was magnified infinitely, 1 in the 3-point 12, and 0 in the whole 11, including 6 three points.
After taking a break, Wei Shao agreed to play a substitute. It has been 11 games now. His appearance duration has not changed, but it is still nearly 29 minutes, but the average score is 16.8 points, 5.0 rebounds, 8.6 assists. Although playing the substitute, the number of moves of weishao has increased slightly, and the efficiency recovery is even more amazing. Among the 48 three-point goals in 11 games, 19, with a hit rate of 39.6%.
As a point guard, Wei Shao has only two “two pairs” in the first 10 games, and only one assist in the double. However, the last four games were less than 10 + assists per time, with an average of 13.8 points and 11.3 assists.
Weishao’s experience of changing from the first start to the substitute once again confirms this Chinese famous saying-take a step back.
We saw a smile on weishao’s face again and began to dance after he scored a good goal. The ease and freedom on his body can make us fully feel that although this ease comes, it was a whole year later than last year when I suggested him to play a substitute.
He still has overlapping time with James after playing, but he has more time to control the ball himself, even with a group of unknown role substitutes. This gave him sufficient opportunities to exert his ability to instigate attacks. The three double kings were by no means built.
So far, the Lakers’ “five-member group” still ranks first in the appearance time of “James + Davis + weishao + Walker + Beverly”, with a total time of more than 40 minutes, but the average positive and negative value is-0.2 points. The second appearance time is “Wei Shao + Davis + Reeves + Walker + Beverly”, which is more than 31 minutes, plus or minus +16.0.
For all the five-player groups used by the Lakers, there are 12 sets with a total appearance time of more than 10 minutes, of which only 5 sets with positive and negative values are positive, and 3 sets of these 5 sets have few advantages. Except for the group +16.0 with the second appearance time, he and Davis, Reeves, Beverly and Brown had more than 14 minutes +51.6, and Davis, Reeves, toscano-Anderson and Walker Group nearly 11 minutes +41.8.
Separate Wei Shao and James, 1+1=2, you have two prominent players at once, let them play together, 1 × 0.5=0.5, both of them are not themselves.
Although he is playing well now, the “Best Sixth Man” will not fall from the sky by himself, and the competition will be very fierce.
The selection tradition of this award has always been leaning towards defenders with high scores. It seems that only scores are the only data to prove their ability. Since the establishment of this award in 1983, many strikers have been elected in the first 20 years. There are only 6 attacking defenders, but from 2003 to the next 20 years, there is only one small forward, A big forward and a center (Jamison, Odom and Harrell) were elected, and the remaining 17 years were attacking-type defenders.
If Wei Shao wants to be elected, he must use strong enough assists data to correct the deviation and subvert the tradition, because he may not compete with the scoring data alone. According to the standards of recent years, 18 points or so are the basic requirements. The last Croal was elected 20.7 points, followed by Clarkson 16.0 points and Harrell 18.6 points, lu Wei passed 20 points in the last two elections. So far, Wei Shao counted the first three games to start, with an average of 15.4 points in 14 games.
There are too many rivals to compete with weishao, mainly including marselin (19.3), the center of the Lone Ranger (16.6), the rib essence of the Nuggets, Hyland (16.1), the Warriors’s Curry successor, Poole (15.5), Bucks team Inner Line Portis (13.7), Celtics’s new defender broghton (13.0), Jazz defender Sexton (13.1), etc, even Powell (12.8) and wall (11.6) of the Clippers should be added.
Of course, the number one competitor must be masserin. He scored another 22 points in today’s Pacers’s victory over Magic, which is already the seventh 20 + of masserin’s 16 games. Masserin is the No. 6 show this year, with a height of 198. His teammates praised him for his omnipotence and his shooting was even more amazing. He shot 6 shots in each game with a hit rate of nearly 43%. He currently has various firsts in the alliance:
The Benchwarmers score first
Rookie Score first
Rookie shot in the third place
Rookie 15 + number of fields first
The Benchwarmers 15 + Field number first
The Pacers have won 5 consecutive victories because of his outstanding performance, and they have won 9 wins and 2 losses after starting with 1 win and 4 losses. Compared with masserin, weishao has no advantage in scoring, but his role in driving the substitute group is obvious to all and is not shown in scoring. While masserin is a pure attacker, rebounding and passing are not specialties. Currently, there are 3.9 rebounds and 2 assists on average.
Wei Shao retreated from the starting line this time. Even if he was replaced halfway, he might not be able to play the starting line any more. If he can’t start, his income will be greatly affected.
The income of the famous sixth person in history is not top-notch. Ginobili earned 0.13 billion in NBA, but it was saved for 17 years, with a maximum of 14 million a year. Lu Wei once won the best sixth person in three years, earning only 87.2 million in 17 years, and only rose to 8 million in the last few years. Another three-time election was to be elected by Clifford. He played for 20 seasons with a total income of 0.124 billion, of which only 3 seasons reached 10 million levels.
Now the total income of NBA has gone up, and the salary of players has also risen. Croal has become a 30 million + level defender, but the heat has also begun to use him as the main force. Poole also made 30 million. He didn’t play the first because Curry was still at the peak level. One day he would definitely play the main force every day.
How much can Wei Shao get after the contract ends next year? I estimate it to be around 20 million. After all, I am old and just passed my 34th birthday 10 days ago.
However, he is not short of money in his life. In the past 14 seasons, he has made 0.29 billion, and there are still 47 million this season. Besides, there are still many fashion spokesmen. What Wei Shao cares about is nothing more than face. Now this problem has long ceased to exist.
