Gemini can't play, so many role players in the Lakers are dumb. But harel, who has a strong personal attack ability, has not been greatly affected. In the game against the Suns, he shot 13 and got 23 points 10 rebounds. In fact, in the previous game against the Hawks, although the Lakers also lost the game, harel also shot 13 and got 23 points 1 1 rebounds. In this back-to-back trip, the insider scored 46 points 2 1 rebound, which is one of the few highlights of Zijinjun.
Harel was the second round of the 20 15 show. At that time, he was selected by the Rockets, and there were not many opportunities for harel's rookie season, only 39 appearances. However, in the second year of his career, he entered the main rotation lineup, averaging 9. 1 minute and 3.8 rebounds. The upward trend can be said to be very obvious. However, in the summer of 20 17, the Rockets planned a famous 7-pair 1 deal, and got Hall of Fame point guard chris paul, and harel was also sent to the Clippers as part of the chip.
From the perspective of personal development, this time, harel changed a team for every cloud. The Clippers' lack of inside position gave harel ample opportunities to perform. He has been making progress himself. 18- 19 season, he played 82 games for the first time in his career, averaging 16.6 points and 6.5 rebounds, helping the Clippers reach the playoffs and defending champion warriors in six games. Among them, the Clippers have the strongest bench lineup in the league, and the bench scoring data also ranks first. Harel and Lewis Williams are like two generals, and their bench lineup is not bad compared with the starters of some teams.
Last season, harel played the best performance of his career, averaging 18.6 points and 7. 1 rebounds. Finally, he defeated teammate Louis Williams and Dennis Schroeder, who also switched to the Lakers, and won the best sixth man award. It's just that the Clippers lost a good game in the semi-finals of the Western Conference last season, and were reversed by the Nuggets with a lead of 3-/kloc-0, and once again missed the Western Conference. Harel's personal performance is not particularly good. In the first round against the lone ranger, he couldn't take advantage of the opponent's No.3 center and former teammate Bo Ban MarIanovici, and was even defeated by the opponent. In the series against Nuggets, he and Zubac couldn't stop nikola jokic, the first center in the league, which was the key factor for the Clippers to be eliminated by the other side.
After the playoffs last season, harel's problems were exposed more. Originally, it was widely believed that he could win a long-term contract with an annual salary of $65,438+5,000-20 million. However, after harel's offensive end left the three-second zone, there was not much threat, and there was no way to deal with it without making moves. Even the attack with the ball is actually very rough, mainly to complete the attack under the basket. Not to mention the defensive end, he is often attacked as a loophole. Generally speaking, such players are easier to serve as substitutes and the starting effect is more general. At the critical moment, the coach is not afraid to leave him on the court.
During the offseason, because the contracts of harel and marcus morris expired at the same time, the Clippers with limited salary space could not keep them at the same time. Eventually, when they renewed their contract with marcus morris, it meant losing harel. But no one expected that harel joined the Clippers' arch-rival Lakers as a free agent, and he signed a two-year contract with Zi Jinjun for $0-0/90,000. Even though harel has some defects, his performance in the playoffs is not so good. If he can join at this price, the Lakers will definitely make money. To put it bluntly, if he is perfect, he can't just get this salary.
At present, the season is over half. Among the players who just joined the Lakers this season, wesley matthews and Mark Gasol dropped significantly, which was relatively disappointing. Dennis Schr?eder's data looks good, but as a point guard, his ability to control the overall situation is still poor, and he seems to be more suitable as a substitute; Only harel has brought immediate results in data and field effect. So far this season, harel has averaged 14.7 points and 6.6 rebounds, and his shooting percentage is as high as 64. 1%. Whether partnering with key players or leading the second team, harel's personal performance is excellent, and this inside beast will play a vital role in the defense of Zijin Army.
