I deserve a salary of 30 million! Thunder s inner pillar has to withstand the appointment of the teacher on his own?

In the previous NBA Western Conference semi-finals G4, the Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the Denver Nuggets who played at home 92-87 after a hard battle. After this game, the Thunder tied the total score of the series to 2-2, and both sides returned to the same starting line. Moreover, the Thunder also regained their home advantage after this game and regained the initiative in the series.

In this game, the performance of the Thunder's starting center Isaiah Hartenstein is still worthy of recognition. Haltenstein played 33 minutes and 09 seconds in the whole game, made 3 of 7 shots and 2 of 3 free throws, and scored 8 points, 14 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 1 block. It also included 5 frontcourt rebounds, 1 turnover and 3 fouls, with a plus-negative value of +9. Haltenstein is very efficient on the offensive end, and he actually has not shown his scoring ability, but Haltenstein has also shown high enthusiasm in competing for rebounds in the frontcourt, and he has also provided a lot of support for the team in this regard. Not only that, Haltenstein still maintained a high level in passing and supporting. Haltenstein also contributed very well on the defensive end. He is also a very reliable inside defender. He also made substantial interference with his opponent's inside core Nikola Jokic. The Thunder's victory is also closely related to Haltenstein's outstanding performance.

In the NBA regular season this season, Haltenstein played a total of 57 games due to injuries in 82 games, averaging 27.9 minutes per game, averaging 11.2 points, 10.7 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.1 blocks, and 1.7 turnovers and 3 fouls. His shooting percentage was 58.7% and his free throw percentage was 67.5%. In the playoffs, Haltenstein averaged 26.1 minutes in the first eight games, with averaging 10 points, 9.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1 steal and 0.6 blocks, and 1.5 turnovers and 3.1 fouls. His shooting percentage was 55.4% and his free throw percentage was 66.7%.

Judging from the situation this season, Haltenstein's importance to the Thunder is still very prominent. It is also because of Haltenstein that the Thunder were able to have an inside player who fought against the teacher. Conversely, without Haltenstein, Chet Holmgren's performance in this round of the series would have been very easy, and the team would not be able to keep the overall score of the series to the current level. If the Thunder can successfully pass this level, Haltenstein's value will also be further reflected. Although the salary seems to be extremely high, Haltenstein also proved with his performance that he deserved the contract with an annual salary of 30 million yuan.
