32 years old is still a fascinating age for NBA players. Players of this age are still enjoying the final glory of the peak, and their bodies have not regressed, but they have accumulated considerable skills and experience. In the eyes of the top management of NBA teams, they are still valuable and an indispensable part of teams with lofty aspirations. As the saying goes, "One step forward is dusk, one step back is life", and the 32-year-old NBA player has also reached the harvest season.
But for Shao Wei, at the age of 32, he still failed to reap the heaviest fruit. Later, I saw Harden, the third brother of Thunder, go to the Nets and join hands with Durant, the eldest brother. A new version of the Big Three came into being, and now it has evolved into a six-star Nets, roaring towards the championship; What I can show off is the MVP trophy four years ago, averaging three pairs per game for three consecutive seasons. "Liveliness is theirs, I have nothing" is undoubtedly a true portrayal of Shao Wei's current mentality.
But once upon a time, Shao Wei had an infinite desire to join the Wizards. The joy of coming to a new environment filled his mind, and the title "MVP of the Wizards after Jordan" was particularly confusing. But the reality soon made Shao Weixiao. In the first 16 games of the Wizards' jerseys, Shao Wei actually only led the team to 2 wins 14 losses, and the Wizards even came to the bottom in the East. During this period, Bill fell into the "empty cut group" many times, and Shao Wei returned to the days of getting three pairs, as if looking for something. Victory is like a cloud in the sky, and the promise before the season has become a dead letter.
Before this season 16 games, Shao Wei averaged 19.9 points, 9 rebounds and 8.9 assists. Putting it on an ordinary player will cheer him up, but not for Shao Wei. His total hit rate is only 4 1.9%, his three-point hit rate drops to 32.4%, and the positive and negative value of -9.3 is even more unsightly. The media consulted wizards and found many problems. Although they have scoring champion Bill and triple doubles this season, the Wizards' offensive and defensive efficiency was once outside the league's 20. In addition, the Wizards' offensive distribution is unreasonable, and the proportion of three-point shots is only 265,438+0, and the defense is still as poor as ever.
"Is this the MVP?" There are doubts from the outside world, but changes are actually brewing. Shao Wei reduced unnecessary shots from outside and increased the frequency of attacking the basket. At the same time, he finally bid farewell to the bad physical condition that has dragged him down for a long time. In the 2019/20 season, Shao Wei also played an admirable performance, especially after the Rockets sent cappella away, and staged a five-hour extreme performance. The shutdown ruined everything. Shao Wei was injured in the semi-finals, and his comeback was postponed until the playoffs. Unfortunately, he infected COVID-19. At one time, less than 70% of Shao's great men appeared on the court.
Therefore, when Shao Wei announces that he can run and jump, the world will change color. Sure enough, Shao Wei, who is warming up, is radiant. Together with Bill, he led the Wizards to a five-game winning streak in mid-February, winning seven games in eight consecutive games, which was impressive. The evaluation of the original transaction has changed from the praise of Bill during the Rockets' six-game winning streak after the transaction to the collapse of Shao Wei. Bill, who jumped out of the "empty cut group", rushed to express his loyalty to the wizards, and also announced that Shao Wei was "the best teammate I have worked with in my career."
Today is the blink of an eye. When he was about to wave goodbye in March, Shao Wei fought a battle that was enough to become his masterpiece this season and even his career. In today's game against the Pacers, when Bill was injured, Shao Wei, a single-core player, let go of his hands and kicked out an amazing triple-double of 35 points 14 rebounds and 2 1 assists, becoming the first player in NBA history to win a triple-double in a single game and score 35+ assists and 20+, leading the team 132-652. Congratulatory letters poured in from all walks of life, including my third brother in Brooklyn. Bill took his last name and called him "Brooke the Beast". Shao Wei also sincerely regretted: "I love this game! Why not? "
During his NBA career, Shao Wei was like himself. From UCLA, he was selected as the fourth overall pick in 2008, becoming the last high overall pick selected by the Sonics. Shao Wei moved to Ohio with the team before he could play in the official competition in the Supersonic Green jersey. From then on, Shao Wei's career reached its first climax on 20 12. They reveled in the west side, but stopped the finals with 1-4. The theme of this stage is "growth".
From now until 20 16 is the second stage of Shao Wei's career, and separation is the theme. Harden's departure turned Sanshao into a dual core. Four years later, Durant's departure planted the seeds of resentment in Shao Wei's heart, but it also made him enter the third stage of his career with an explosive attitude. Since the off-season of 20 19, Shao Wei's career has transitioned to the fourth stage: "evolution".
Even at the age of 32, Shao Wei still lingers outside the champion's door, which is enough to become a monument of contemporary NBA and a touching story to be continued. Don't ask 32-year-old Shao Wei what she wants. His answer is straightforward, but hit the floor:
"I love this game, why not?"
