Lu Dort has gone from being overpaid to being totally worth it.
Everyone was confused when OKC signed Dort to a 5-year $82.5 million contract
in 2022.
They hadn't won more than 25 games the past two seasons and Dort only played 5
0 games while shooting in the low 30s from three.
As a small market team that had young players like Shai, Giddey, and Poku due
for an extension, using 15% of the team's salary cap for a defensive specialis
t with an unproven offensive game was a major gamble.
The pressure to perform on a bigger contract can get to some role players, but
it brought out the best in Dort.
He'll guard the opposing team's best player for 40 minutes and is now a 40% sh
ooter from three.
In a game where the Thunder needed Dort, he delivered.
Lu Dort 从被认为是“高薪低效”的球员,摇身一变成为“物超所值”的代表。
当雷霆队在2022年与Dort签下五年8,250万美元的合约时,大家都感到困惑。
当时雷霆连续两季胜场未超过25场,而Dort只打了50场比赛,三分命中率仅在三成出头。
作为一支小市场球队,雷霆还有像Shai、Giddey和Poku这些年轻球员即将面临续约问题,
却把15%的薪资空间花在一名防守专家、而进攻端尚未证明自己的球员身上,无疑是一场
豪赌。
对某些角色球员而言,高薪合约带来的压力可能会拖垮表现,但对Dort来说却激发了他的
最佳状态。
他能连续40分钟紧贴对方的主力得分手,如今的他也成为了一名三分命中率达到40%的射
手。
在雷霆最需要他的那场比赛里,他果断挺身而出。

薪水去查了一下好像是8750万才对
不知道内文怎么写这个数字
但这都不是重点
回到正题
堕师傅的防守人人皆知
但特别想提他的三分球
那弧度真的是完美的Rainbow Shot
今年也是单季命中率最高的一年
听说雷霆投篮教练超顶
把好几个球员的投篮救了回来
最有名的就是把可爱的投篮动作修正过的样子
