1300 hats + 976 three-pointers! No. 4 in history! Horford is so delicious, Curry has gained a perfect partner

In the era of small balls, all-round space-type centers are popular and an indispensable puzzle for teams to compete for championships! Take the championship teams in the past 6 years as an example. Gasol, Jr. from the Raptors in 20 years, Dark eyebrows from the Lakers in 21 years, Lopez from the Bucks in 22 years, Jokic from the Nuggets in 23 years, Horford from the Celtics in 24 years, and Holmegren from the Thunder in 25 years, all of them have made great achievements in the team's journey to win the championship! As one of the founders of the small ball era, the Warriors have Curry, the strongest scorer in the universe, but Curry has never really worked with the top space-type center. The only one he has worked with is the residual-health version of Cousins, which is simply a great misfortune and irony! Just today, the Warriors finally found a perfect inside partner for Curry.

According to NBA famous reporter Shams, Horford has promised to sign a multi-year contract with the Warriors, and he will start his 19th season of his career as the Warriors' starting center. According to Shams, Horford's contract will not be officially signed until the issue of Kumingga's renewal is resolved. The specific details of the contract still have variables. The key depends on the size of Kumingga's contract: if Kumingga accepts the qualification quotation, Horford can receive more salary; if Kumingga accepts a large contract, Horford's salary will also shrink. Many people can't help but ask: The Warriors are unwilling to give the 22-year-old Kumingga a long-term contract, but why are they willing to give the 39-year-old Horford a multi-year contract? I can only say: Scarcity is precious!

In this offseason, the Warriors' 4-winning center Looney was poached by the Pelicans with a two-year, $16 million contract. The Warriors urgently need a starting-level big center, and Horford is the person the Warriors are looking for! Horford was the 2007 Tanhualang. He was born in June 1983 and is over 39 years old. He is also one of the absolute heroes of the 18th championship in the Celtics history! Tatum's Achilles tendon tear is likely to be reimbursed for the new season after the season is reimbursed, and the Celtics lost defending their title and ended in the Eastern Conference semi-finals. Horford had the idea of ​​retirement, but the Warriors still regarded him as the number one center forward's goal and used his greatest sincerity to change his mind! How fragrant is Horford? The data will not lie, and the Warriors, as their former opponent, have a deep understanding!

According to statistics on the NBA official website, Horford has scored a total of 1,300 caps + 976 three-pointers so far in his career. He is the fourth player in NBA history to complete at least 1,300 caps + 900 three-pointers. The top 3 are Rashid Wallace, Lopez, and Robinson. In another statistics, Horford played 25 games with the Warriors in his regular season in his career, averaging 14.9 points + 9.4 rebounds per game. Both statistics are his personal best records against all teams in the league. Last season, Horford played 60 games for the Celtics, averaging 9 points + 6.2 rebounds + 2.1 assists + 1.9 three-pointers, with a three-point shooting percentage of 36.3%. In 11 games in the playoffs, he averaged 8 points + 6 rebounds + 1.8 assists + 1.3 blocks + 1.3 three-point shooting percentage, with a 40% three-point shooting percentage. According to statistics, Horford restricted his opponent's singles shooting percentage last season to be 46%, ranking 7th in the league.

This is Horford. The older he gets, the more evil he becomes. The attack and defense are one, it is so fragrant. On the one hand, Horford has its own space attributes and good organizational support capabilities, which can make the Warriors' offensive system more smooth; on the other hand, Horford is one of the few centers who can participate in unlimited defense switching. He moves fast enough and does not take fake moves. He can play an important role in the Warriors' defensive system. More importantly, Horford has played 16 playoffs in 18 seasons in his career, experienced many battles, and has a history of winning the championship. It can be imagined that when old guns such as Horford, Curry, Butler, and Zhu Meng stand on the court, they will have a huge deterrent effect on any opponent!

In a sense, Horford is a star born naturally for the Warriors system, and he is also the perfect partner Curry dreams of! Perhaps, this is why the Warriors are willing to give Horford a multi-year contract to 39-year-old Horford! For the Warriors, this multi-year contract is not only an recognition of Horford, but also an explanation to the whole world and Curry: we must continue to seize the tail of Curry's peak career and launch an attack on the championship! Fans, what do you think about this? Let me leave me a comment and discuss it.
