One Thousand Five Hundred and Forty-Eight. Breaking the Record Alone
Maybe Westbrook didn't think about sacrificing the team in order to get a triple-double at first, but he likes the spotlight too much now. This is a "moment of glory" he has never had. Maybe Durant will come back and he will take it back. A lot of thought has been put into it, but now Durant has not returned yet and has to wait at least half a month.
Now he can't control himself at all.
And the Thunder's record decline this season is not entirely to blame on him. If it were the year Durant was reimbursed for the season in the original time and space, the Thunder did not make the playoffs. This proves how important Durant is to the Thunder. , because after Durant returned the next season, the Thunder led the 73-win defending champion Warriors 3-1 in the Western Conference Finals.
Another point is that the Thunder were really unwilling to pay the luxury tax and did not give Ellis the tens of millions of annual salary he wanted. Ellis went to the Mavericks.
I dare to imagine that when Westbrook’s maximum salary, Durant’s overlord clause maximum salary, Ibaka’s four-year average annual contract of 12.25 million are all effective, plus Perkins’ salary of more than 8 million in the 13-14 season, the Thunder will The total salary is only over 73 million? These four players all have salaries close to 55 million!
They even have a full middle-class income of US$5.73 million that is useless.
Earlier, the Thunder were able to have so many high-quality role players without having to pay the luxury tax. They relied on the rookie contract of Dewey Haye, which was put together year by year. Durant's maximum salary started to take effect in the 11-12 season. Well, this season, Westbrook and Ibaka have received a combined salary increase of 17 million, and the Thunder don't want any role players.
In addition to Westbrook, Sefolosha, the injured Durant, Ibaka, and Perkins, the remaining players include Adams, Lamb, Reggie Jackson, Perry Jones, and Ann Dre Robertson is a first- and second-year player, and veteran Nick Collison has a minimum salary.
A lineup of role players worth $18 million... Compare that to the Jazz. Although the Jazz's total salary is just over $60 million, their largest contract was acquired by the Warriors in the summer in order to acquire Richard Jefferson. Andres Biedrins' $9 million expiring contract will help the Warriors make room.
The five starters Trey Burke, Alec Box, Jimmy Butler, Marvin Williams, and Kanter have a combined salary of less than 21 million. In other words, even if the Jazz’s bench lineup is thrown away, Opening Biedrins, the salary is more than 30 million US dollars!
Westbrook is obsessed with triple-doubles and has no second independent scoring point. In addition, Westbrook has made great progress and is really strong. The Thunder team relies entirely on Westbrook alone... Naturally, if Westbrook plays well, the Thunder will win. The chances are great.
And with such a deep lineup for Thibodeau to use to death, the Jazz really have a way to limit Westbrook's rebounds and assists.
Even if Westbrook successfully passes the ball, the Jazz players have already made up for it.
Therefore, there will occasionally be situations where Westbrook bursts into the three-second zone and has a chance to shoot, but he doesn't shoot and looks for someone else.
The Thunder have a bad habit recently, that is, when Westbrook passes the ball, everyone else wants to shoot the ball quickly and add assists to Westbrook.
In the end, the Thunder defeated the Jazz 80-95.
Westbrook only scored 26 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists tonight, and the triple-double was ended!
…
…
Westbrook's triple-double journey is temporarily suspended! The number of consecutive triple-doubles has been fixed at 8 times. Sun Ce and Chamberlain are temporarily tied for the first place in the regular season consecutive triple-doubles rankings!
With Westbrook's brutal triple-double ability, fans don't think that Westbrook has no chance to surpass Chamberlain in the future, but at present, Westbrook has been defeated, and Sun Ce has become the only player who currently has a chance to surpass Chamberlain.
This makes the Grizzlies' next game against the visitors from Houston even more interesting!
For the Grizzlies, after a day of rest, on December 5th, the fifth game of the 8th consecutive game came.
During an interview in the afternoon, Sun Ce was asked whether he could break Chamberlain's record tonight.
Sun Ce replied: "I don't care about this. Really, don't focus on this. I just happened to have a triple-double in 9 consecutive games. I really don't care..."
The reporter expressed that he believed it and continued to ask: "Lord, the Marvel movie in which you will guest star will be released on Christmas Eve. The director of Disney said that he admires your acting skills and hopes to have more cooperation with you. When you get the qualification After winning Best Newcomer and Best Single at Les Mills, are you ready to win an Oscar?”
"If the Oscar was yours, I believe you would give me one...I'm just a guest star. Maybe that role perfectly fits my domineering and chic image, so they thought it was good."
"..."
Once again, the reporter didn’t know how to answer the call...
…
Due to his grandson, the filming of Guardians of the Galaxy will end a few months later than originally planned, but Disney is willing to wait, because it will be released in the United States in December and will be available in China when it is introduced. In time for the Spring Festival, their independent films have the right to operate independently, because if this series of films is not a hit, subsequent filming plans will be cancelled.
With Sun Ce's popularity, he might be able to get better box office results.
At 7pm, the game started.
McAway has received a lot of attention since his upset victory over the Lakers and his near-quadruple-double in that game.
In terms of data, McCaw is indeed amazing, averaging 17+6+7, which is not inferior to any best rookie in the past few years. Since the 2004-2005 season, among the eight best rookies, only Evans in the 09-10 season and Griffin in the 10-11 season can surpass McCaw in terms of data.
However, the role played by McCaw's data... 3 wins and 17 losses, the second-to-last record in the league, can show the role of McCaw's seemingly comprehensive data.
Sun Ce feels that McCaw is not like him, but like a weakened version of Westbrook in terms of overall ability.
B+ level ability evaluation, if McCaw is in a team with excellent teammates and many scorers, and McCaw is properly trained at the beginning, and plays in a team with winning as the main goal, there may be a possibility of success.
For this type of player to succeed, there must be two clear points first, one is not to be so obsessed with data, and the other is to make winning the first goal.
Of course, if he is as strong as Westbrook, who is on the verge of a superstar, and can get a triple-double, it may also be considered a success.
But McCaw has Westbrook's heart, but not Westbrook's strength!
9 points, 6 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 steals, and both steals were by Sun Ce.
But the Grizzlies won 31 points with 122 to 91.
Sun Ce played for 28 minutes and scored 18 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists. He got a triple-double in 10 consecutive games and clocked out before the end of the third quarter!
