5 games and 4 games! The most cost-effective player in the NBA has come true, and he is only worth 87 million when he plays the Lakers

On May 29, 4 games in 5 games, the most cost-effective player in the NBA can only bully the James Lakers? This is really bullying the weak and afraid of the strong.

In this year's playoffs, there is a player who has always been called the most cost-effective player in the league, that is Reed of the Forest Wolves. He signed a 43-year contract with the team for 42 million yuan, with an annual salary of only 13.99 million yuan. In terms of data, he really made a lot of money. He averaged 14.4 points per game and became the team's No. 2 scorer, and he also had 6 rebounds in each game. All data were career highs. The most important thing is that a big insider could pull out three-pointers and shoot very accurately.

Reed is only 25 years old, and even has a height of 2.06 meters, which shows that he is really a player with unlimited space and growth opportunities in the future. But with such a Reed, he can bully the Dwarf Lakers in this playoffs. The Lakers were beaten by Reid without a center. When they hit the Golden State Warriors, Reid's performance was no longer stable. He did not score double in the last three games, and he made many mistakes and his shooting percentage was not high. He only broke out in one game against the Warriors.

It is even more outrageous to come to the stage of the Western Conference Finals now. He claims to be the most cost-effective person. This is completely a bully of the weak and afraid of the strong, because he only performed in 5 games, and the only performance cannot be said to be how strong he is. In this game, Nazreid, as a core substitute, scored 5 of 6 shots, scored 11 points, 5 rebounds and 3 blocks, but also made 5 turnovers and 4 fouls. This performance is already the best game he has played in this round of the series.

5 turnovers and 4 fouls are all the best games. You read that right, then what do you think is he playing in front? In the first game, the Timberwolves lost to the Thunder. Reed scored 1 of 11 shots and scored 4 points. He didn't know what he was doing. In the second game, he made 0 of 5 three-pointers. Although he scored 10 points, he didn't know what he was doing. Is this the so-called cost-effectiveness?

The team returned to the home court in three games and won a wild victory. He finally played a little normal, 4 of 6 shots and scored 10 points. This is a good game, but in fact it was all due to garbage time, because the Wolves directly beat the Thunder 42 points, and most of the time was garbage time without intensity. In the 4th game, the team lost, and Reed scored another 11 points, 2 three-pointers. Then there was this last game, which was the best game he had ever played.

And Reed is really bullying the weak and afraid of the strong. When he was in the first two games, he made 0 of 12 three-pointers, scored 4 goals in total 19 shots, and he scored 4 goals. The latter was played every game and started scoring. In the entire round of the game, he made 4 of 16 three-pointers, and it was said that he was accurate from the outside and had a good three-pointer, which meant that he was accurate when he was playing against the Lakers and there was nowhere later.

In that round of the Lakers' series, Reed scored 23 points and 5 rebounds in the first game, made 6 of 9 three-pointers and shot 9, and only had a sluggish second game. He scored in double digits in the last two games, and there was no mistake at all. This guy only had a season of fighting the Lakers, but he was gone after the game? The Lakers broke out in 3 games and the Warriors broke out in 1 game. The Western Conference Finals only had one game in garbage time.

Watching him is very powerful, it seems that it only shows that the Lakers are too naughty, and the Warriors are not as naughty as Curry. When facing a team that can pull up the intensity, Reed can do nothing. This may be the most deceptive contract in the NBA. It is said that he is the most cost-effective, but in fact it is not the case. His value may be all that. Next season, he may have to jump out of his contract and become a free agent. He can sign up to 94 million in four years and 87 million in four years. However, the Western Conference Finals have already lost at least 1/3 of his net worth. Perhaps he is worth so much money in the entire playoffs only when he plays the Lakers.
