defeated the Eagles in an away game, Nets 's winning streak came to 10 games. Not only are they the team with the most winning streaks in the league, but the Nets are also the first team to achieve 10 consecutive victories this season. To be honest, it is a bit surprising, especially considering that they started the season with a record of 1 win and 5 losses. The team's defensive efficiency was once the bottom of the league. ", Simmons 's downturn and injuries, Watanabe Yuta and others are on and off, no one would have thought that this team, which was once facing disintegration, would come back to life and return to the championship among the ranks. Insist on a high salary, congratulations to the Nets, Boss Tsai's decision is correct, you have guaranteed the Nets' inside line.
defeated the Eagles, and in this wave of victories, except for the stable Durant , most Nets fans gave their coach Jacques Vaughan and Owen. The appointment of Vaughn allowed the Nets to complete the transformation. Irving averaged 14.6 points per game in the last 5 games. The score currently ranks first in the league, higher than James (8.5 points), Antetokounmpo (8.3 points), Embiid (8.0 points), Curry (7.8 points). However, the Nets cannot forget the contributions of the role players. The first to bear the brunt is the Nets' core center Clarkston .
defeated the Eagles, and Clarkston's performance was very impressive. He started for 35 minutes and shot 8 of 9 shots. He scored 17 points, 10 rebounds and 6 blocks. On the offensive end, Claxton seized almost all the opportunities that should be seized. On the defensive end, he became the "hot pot captain" of the Nets. The team had 13 blocks, almost half of which were sent by Clarkston. According to statistics, 6 blocks in a single game tied Clarkston's career record for blocks in a single game, and the last time he sent 6 blocks in a single game was also created during the Nets' 10-game winning streak. When Nets played against Raptors , Clarkston sent 6 blocks. If there was no Clarkston's frame protection in that game, there would be no Irving's buzzer lore at the last moment.
In the past offseason, the Nets have done a pretty good job signing, TJ Warren with a basic salary, Yuta Watanabe signed with a non-guaranteed contract, Royce O’Neal obtained through trades, and even Sumner, who was signed with a basic salary, has become a player in the Nets' core rotation. However, in many people's eyes, the Nets' two-year $20 million contract to keep Clarkston is the most critical operation. From the current point of view, the thickness of the Nets' forward line is a bit too strong. To be honest, even if role players such as Yuta Watanabe and Warren have minor injuries and illnesses, the Nets can handle it. And once Clarkston falls, there is really no one inside the Nets.
After entering the free agent market, Clarkston did not reach a signing agreement with the Nets in the first place. Clarkston wanted a big contract. In the past season, Clarkston once fell out of the rotation lineup. The Nets believe that giving Clarkston a big contract is too risky. After several waves of negotiations between the two parties, the Nets and Clarkston finally reached a two-year contract with a total amount of 20 million US dollars (of which 2.6 million is a bonus). So far, Clarkston got his wish and got his favorite contract with an annual salary of tens of millions. From the current point of view, the Nets should also be fortunate that they left this young and dynamic insider. After
sent away Griffin , Aldridge , and Drummond, the Nets did not make any reinforcements at the center position, which made Clarkston's signing even more precious. also use practical actionsProve to the Nets that their vision and decision are not wrong, he is indeed worth a contract with an annual salary of more than 10 million US dollars, and Clarkston will also get all the bonus part of the contract. This season, the Nets give people a feeling of deep and strong lineup, but looking back, they have only three poor players who averaged double figures per game. In addition to Durant and Irving, another The first player to score in double figures per game is Clarkston.
Is it surprising that Clarkston can contribute 11.9 points, 8.5 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 2.4 blocks per game this season. His 74.3% field goal percentage ranks first in the league. Except for Clarkston, his field goal percentage ranks second Gobert's is only 66.7%. Claxton is the only player in the league with a shooting percentage of more than 70%. Facts have proved that even without Harden, as long as someone can pass the ball, Clarkston can grasp it. He seized all the opportunities, and he became the mainstay of the Nets' defense. As of now, Clarkston's average blocks per game ranks second in the league. If the top-ranked Lopez is currently leading the DOPY list, then Clarkston should also be on the list.
