Just like the Knicks beat the Clippers, he 17 shot, scored 25 points, sent 8 assists and grabbed 6 rebounds. In the five games before this game, Ross averaged 2 1 minute, 4.6 assists and 4 rebounds, and his three-point shooting percentage was 64%, 63% and 100%. Ross's former teammate and real estate tycoon Raul Deng bluntly said: Ross's first step is still very fast, and whoever takes precautions will fall behind, which is his uniqueness.
Now Ross's breakthrough has no lightning speed, but the change of rhythm is elusive and the small throw is perfect. Without previous injuries, no one would have guessed how tall Ross would be. It is worth mentioning that this season, Ross hit a career high in 3-point hit rate, effective hit rate and real hit rate. Ross's contribution goes far beyond the crazy output of personal data. His role in the Knicks is all-round and positive. After he joined the Knicks, the Knicks achieved immediate success, with a winning percentage of 68.75%. In 35 regular-season games, Ross's positive and negative values were as high as +206, the highest in the team.
It is undeniable that the rise of the Knicks is closely related to Randall's progress, but the playoffs have proved that Randall in prosperity and Ross in adversity. The Knicks met the eagles led by Treyan in the playoffs. The eagle locked Randall in the first game. Besides, Randall's hands are cold. He scored only 6 goals from 23 shots and got 15 points, which was far from the performance in the regular season. Ross and buchs on the bench became the Knicks' greatest comfort on the night of losing their souls. Ross/Kloc-made 8 of 0/6 shots and got 17 points, 5 assists and 5 rebounds, which was 27 for Beoux.
In the G2 War, Treyan's opening feeling was still the same, and the players on the Knicks side were in poor condition. They only used Ross's 14 points to maintain the scene, and the Knicks also fell behind the Hawks 13 points at half-time. Seeing that the game was about to run out, veteran Ross stepped forward and tore open the eagle's defense with his 3-point breakthrough, creating opportunities for the Knicks' inside. In the third quarter, he scored 10 and led the Knicks to blast a wave of 32- 18 attacks, which turned the tide. Ross made 9 of 2/kloc-0 shots, 2 of 3 points and got 26 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists. It was his strong performance in the third quarter that made the Knicks finally beat the Hawks with 10 1-92. Of course, the Knicks' victory can not be separated from Brock's magical play on the perimeter, and also from Randall's recovery, and gave the team great support in rebounding.
Now let's look back at the Knicks' original 2-for-Ross 1 deal, which is simply "air for MVP". At the beginning of 20-2 1 season, the fighting value of 32-year-old Ross was not optimistic by the outside world. Although many warriors, Lakers and Clippers fans with Ross feelings hoped that their home team could get the youngest MVP of the year, Ross did not get the favor of the championship team in the end, and Ross joined the Knicks, which made people stunned. What makes Ross fans angry most is that the exchange of 2 for 1 between Knicks and Pistons is extremely unequal.
The Knicks only traded dennis smith and a second round signing of 202 1 for Ross, which was totally out of everyone's expectation. As we all know, dennis smith has lost his position in the Knicks. 20-2 1 season, he played three games for the Knicks, averaging 9.3 minutes and getting three points. It is worth mentioning that his efficiency in the last two seasons is horribly low, with a real hit rate of only 39.9% and 35.6%, and an OBPM as low as -5.2 and -8.2, compared with last season. Finally, dennis smith himself applied for the decentralization of the development alliance.
But the Pistons had high expectations for Ross's trade at first, imagining "I earn a little, and the Knicks are stupid." At the beginning of the transaction, the Pistons proposed Nirikina+the second round of signing, and the Knicks decisively refused. Then the Pistons proposed Knox, and the Knicks refused. In fact, the Knicks did not regard Ross as the "core" at first, and Ross was not worth paying too much. The Knicks' idea is "use what you can, don't let it go when the contract ends in the summer, and make room for the $7.6 million team". It didn't cost much to sign the second round, but now Ross's performance has completely hit the face of those teams who look down on his trading value. If the Clippers can trade Ross, maybe today's scene will be different.
In the past two playoff games, Ross has become the most trusted person in Spaudu. Whether you have been seriously injured or not, you are still the MVP in my heart! Ross played more than 76 minutes in World War II, which was a great test for the 32-year-old seriously injured man. Obviously, the exchange of Knicks 2 for 1 is the mode of exchanging air for MVP.
Bobby Marks, an ESPN salary expert, said frankly: Through profitx's AI simulation, Ross is now playing a horizontal value of14.7 million US dollars, which is twice the current annual salary of Ross, knowing that Ross's annual salary this season is only 7.7 million US dollars. After Ross's contract expires this season, the Knicks will certainly provide the veteran with a pension contract, and Ross will also become the most stable brain of the Knicks bench.
