Chapter 199 New aid joins the team
The next day's game has not yet come, but they in the training hall have learned a new news. After the All-Star, they signed a new aid to make up their numbers. The new aid is the former quasi-All-Star Power forward Kenyon Martin, which strengthens the offensive ability of the inside to a certain extent, avoiding the lack of offensive power of the Clippers inside when Blake Griffin is off the field.
Reggie Evans and Jordan Jr. have excellent rebounding and defensive abilities, but they also have very high scoring requirements. They must completely send the cake to their mouths, and it will be difficult for them to take a step forward.
As a brutalist power forward who once reached the finals with Jason Kidd, he has excellent jumping ability and air cutting awareness, but he has poor singles and defensive awareness in the interior of the attack with the ball, but his singles ability, Who cares about the Clippers?Chris Paul, Anson, Blake Griffin, plus the bench, the Clippers are almost in a state where the ball is not enough. What they need is Kenyon Martin to score after receiving the ball It's just a goal that is not difficult.
He averaged 8.6 points and 6.2 rebounds in the Nuggets last season. His performance and his annual salary of 250 million this time are still very good. For the new owner of the Clippers , This salary directly allows Gary Sachs to decide. Speaking of the Clippers being able to snatch Kenyon Martin, this is also an excellent opportunity.
This time the lockout caused many players to seek gold in other places. Kenyon Martin chose the XJ team in China, but his performance in the XJ team was not good. The average of 13.9 points and 9.7 rebounds per game was a failure for a big foreign player in the CBA. , and he and XJ also completed the termination of the contract. Although the performance of the CBA is very average, there are not many teams that have offered him an olive branch. This is the trust in his ability.
The reason why the Clippers snatched him is very simple. Their chips are not only a $250 million contract, but Chris Paul and Anson are also important reasons.
Kenyon Martin was the No. 2000 pick in [-]. His physical talent and offensive ability are the reasons why the Nets chose him. The few years he spent with Jason Kidd were also the pinnacle of his career. After leaving the Nets, his data has dropped sharply, which shows how much an excellent point guard helps him, which is why he chose the Clippers.
With the introduction of head coach Del Negro, Kevin Martin walked into the training room, and he had already changed into the jersey with his name on it.
There were not many welcome ceremonies. After all, there was a game in the evening. The first game after the All-Star Game was still very important for the Clippers who were competing for the Western Conference championship.
A 10-minute training match started directly. Anson and Chris Paul didn't play. They just took a plane and flew a long distance yesterday.
When they didn't play, Blake Griffin became the most dazzling presence on the court. He and Eric Bledsoe cooperated very well. Compared with Anson and Chris Paul, Blake Griffin Griffin now concentrates more offensive time in the game in the second team, and the cooperation between him and Eric Bledsoe also appears to be more tacit.
The pick-and-roll went down, and a very thin pass hit the ground to Blake Griffin's hands, and he made a perfect dunk after a jump.
Kenyon Martin, who was off the court, looked at Blake Griffin's dunk on the court, and his eyes were full of himself who once reached the finals with Jason Kidd. At that time, he and Jason Kidd Kidd's cooperation is also so tacit.When the Nuggets' own data declined, and the arrival of Chauncey Billups awakened his second spring, but the good times didn't last long. After reaching the Western Conference Finals together, Carmelo Anthony and Chauncey Billups Puth left for New York, and he played the worst performance of his career last season.
"Hey! Kenyon, I'm fascinated by watching this. This is just a routine operation. Do you know what our place is called? City of Fly Pickup!" An Sheng appeared behind Kenyon Martin and said with a smile.
Looking at the smiling An Sheng, Kenyon Martin murmured: "Is it the city of free pick-ups? I'm looking forward to it!" Then he lowered his head and touched his knee: "Old friend, it seems that you haven't arrived yet When we leave this alliance, no matter what, we must take a ring and leave!"
Chris Paul also came over: "Hey, hey, hey! Don't be generous to others, the first assist passed to a new teammate must be given to me, I am the assist king, you just go to score honestly !"
"Please open the data sheet and take a closer look. I also have an average of 7 assists per game, okay?" An Sheng retorted. Almighty is one of my labels, and it is impossible to tear off this label.
The atmosphere in the Clippers' locker room is very good, which made Kenyon Martin feel a very warm feeling on the first day he just came to the Clippers. In the league, his reputation is not very good, and he has always belonged to the A thorn-like type of player, he is different from Ryan Gomez, Ryan Gomez belongs to the kind of player who is fierce to other teams, more like the team's bodyguard.
But Kenyon Martin is a locker room bomb, drinking, and taking drugs. This is one of the reasons why he can only get 250 million. It feels like he has the potential to ruin the current Clippers locker room vibe that is so good.
However, he seems to have underestimated the affinity of the two leaders of his team, Chris Paul and Anson. Chris Paul is the chairman of the players union and often works for the interests of the players. And the income of players with a basic salary, and An Sheng, this is a young guy who Del Negro can't understand. Sometimes he has the temper and hobbies of a young player, but in many general directions, his performance is like a player in the league. It's the same as the veteran leaders who have been around for many years.
It's just that on the first day, this thorny head had a very good communication with the two leaders. If there is a full-scale combat power, not to mention too strong, and Kenyon Martin from two years ago came to help the team, then It is enough for this Clippers, not to mention his offensive power, the playoff experience of two finals for this Clippers is absolutely unique to other players, this Clippers can not be beaten Over the finals, no one!
