The Crow becomes a Phoenix! With Harden s bonus, the performance of this three-time All-Star in the new season is worth looking forward to

Season 24-25, Harden passed a total of 4,385 passes and gained 687 assists. In terms of assists, the league is second only to Trae Young and Jokic.

is reflected in the team, with 19 teammates receiving passes from Harden. Among them, 14 of them made shots, only Mann, Dunn, Kevin Porter Jr. and Batum had less than 40% shooting. To a certain extent, Harden's passes also have a bonus on his teammate's shooting.

We all know that Harden and the Clippers reached a two-year contract renewal of 81.5 million this summer. Potentially, the two sides will be tied together at least in the next two years.

To put it more, Frank's operation this summer is still commendable, especially signing Bradley Bill is the finishing touch - it is equivalent to giving up Powell to strengthen the team's long-term weak No. 4 position and also strengthening the No. 2 position.

In fact, Bill did not perform poorly in season 24-25.

In terms of data, the real shooting rate of 59.8% is not much different from the peak of 60.7%. The reason why it is controversial is more because it is the blame for the poor performance of the Big Three.

In the new season, with Bill coming to the Clippers and having Harden's bonus, I think the performance of this three-time All-Star is worth looking forward to.

first place, after reaching a buyout with the Suns, Bill attracted recruitment from many teams including the Lakers and the Warriors, but eventually chose the Clippers.

From Tyron Lue's perspective, the new season will inevitably give Bill plenty of opportunities to perform. In fact, being able to provide a starting lineup is also an important factor in Bill's choice of the next player.

Second, under the premise that the tandem is still top-notch, in the past, whether Paul, Irving, Maxi, Powell and Harden can form the effect of "1+1>2" when they partnered in the backcourt. From another perspective, Harden has bonuses for his teammates, even for his celebrity teammates.

Third, Bill shot 694 times in the 24-25 season, and the specific split:

1, 202 shots after receiving the ball, with a shooting rate of 40.6%;

2, 257 shots after holding the ball, with a shooting rate of 42.0%;

3, 232 shots within less than 10 feet, with a shooting rate of 65.9%.

In other words, whether it is holding the ball, not having the ball or ending at the basket, Bill has at least performed at the elite level.

Diversified offensive methods can become the team's stable end point, and more importantly, it can promote the stability of performance opportunities and the presence of the audience.

The fourth, unlike in the Suns, there are Harden in the tandem, Dunn and Leonard in the defense, and Paul in the substitute, which means that Bill can finish his full-time opportunity. Focusing more on one thing is obviously also a way to improve efficiency.

Fifth, from the perspective of 1+1 (the second year player) contract, Bill must be holding his breath. To be precise, the desire to prove itself to the league again is to sign a big contract again.

If you have the heart, or play with "emotion", you will have more or less BUFF bonuses.

To sum up the five points, Bill has gathered in the three elements of the time (Harden and others share a certain amount of pressure), the location (the Clippers provide stable opportunities), the people and (their own diversified offensive methods) to succeed. With this, if there is no big surprise in the new season, the All-Star battle will be re-exercised.

Finally, I think the Bills averaged 20+ games in the new season. The contract will basically break out of the subsequent contract and then sign a multi-year contract with an average salary of about 20 million yuan.
