No talent, not strong scoring ability! An annual salary of 20 million, why no one says he has a high salary and low ability

Let’s talk about Caruso. If you know his past, you will definitely admit that Caruso’s growth history is as magical as a fantasy novel. Without talent and poor scoring ability, you can get an annual salary of tens of millions. Even so, Caruso is still a hot commodity in the eyes of all teams. Why no one says Caruso has a high salary and low ability? Why can he gain a foothold in the NBA? Let's go into Caruso's career together.

The first to learn that Caruso must have been in the Lakers, because before that, Caruso was an unknown person. Like most undrafted draft picks, he just wanted to seek an opportunity to play in the NBA for himself. Fortunately, the Lakers gave him such an opportunity, and at the same time, they also successfully played their worth in the Lakers. After finally proving its value, the Lakers did not want to give this young man a contract extension, but instead allowed the Bulls on the other side to successfully find a bargain.

The second time I met Caruso is not that he scored into the best defensive lineup. In a team like the Bulls, Caruso's performance did not attract much attention. Until the Thunder keenly recognized the beads and successfully exchanged his talented player Gidey for Caruso, and gave him a four-year, $81 million contract renewal. This deal was once questioned. His talent was not as talented as Gidey and his scoring ability was too poor. Can you get such a contract just by just defending?

However, the facts have proved that the Thunder management never makes mistakes in their ability to look at people. If everyone still thinks that Caruso is just a defensive gate, it must be short-sighted. Come on, to give the simplest example, in the finals G2 game, for the Thunder, there is no way out, you can only win but not lose. The Thunder generals have all played good data, but the Pacers have also experienced several counterattacks.

At the end of the second quarter, the Pacers made a 10-0 wave and launched a fierce counterattack. Caruso started his performance and helped Alexander set up covers to face Siakam. At the same time, after hitting a three-pointer with a bottom corner, he successfully wiped out the Pacers' pursuit. Of course, the Pacers were unwilling to give up. The score-chasing mode continued to be launched in the third quarter, successfully narrowing the gap to 14 points. Caruso played, one layup and one three-pointer to help the Thunder stabilize the situation.

Speaking of Caruso, the first thing that many people think of is his defense, but the author believes that Caruso's most powerful is his big heart attribute. The average score in the playoffs began to rise, limiting the ability of the opponent's core players. The league is unique. In the regular season, the Thunder gave Caruso good protection and did not allow him to play too many games. Instead, his big heart attribute was leaked in the playoffs. In more than 50 regular season games, Caruso has never scored more than 20 points. However, after more than a dozen playoffs, Caruso has scored 20+ data twice. Now, is it expensive for Caruso 20 million?

Maybe he does not have enough talent, maybe he does not have enough scoring ability, but Caruso's competitive spirit definitely inherits Kobe's Mamba spirit. Working hard can change everything, the defensive end can put pressure on the opponent, and the offensive end can also play his value in key games. The most terrifying thing is that Caruso has been evolving and his three-point shooting percentage is gradually increasing. If the Pacers are not afraid of Alexander getting 30+ per game, the author believes that they must be afraid of Caruso who can change the situation of the game. The most uncomfortable thing is that this person suddenly opened up on the offensive end.

has always said that the NBA is a group of talented monsters, but Caruso uses his personal experience to tell us that only by loving and working hard for his career can we get the greatest reward. Who said that little people cannot change their destiny? Caruso is not only the Thunder's defensive gate, but also the spiritual leader of the Thunder. When the coach encounters difficulties, there must be nothing wrong with going to Caruso. When the players are confused, Caruso's experience is the team's wealth. Such a person is not worth 20 million? How could anyone question it?
