Average of 33 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists per game. Brunson, you are too cruel. The contract of 150 million is priced at a bargain

As we all know, the playoffs are the stage for tough battles, especially for league superstars. For maximum-paid players, being able to perform well in the playoffs is the best opportunity to prove their strength. Among the active players, if you want to talk about "bad price" players, Knicks' Brunson is definitely one of them. As the third in the Eastern Conference this year, the Knicks were once considered a pseudo-strong team, but now Brunson averaged 33 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists in the Eastern Conference Finals, making his $150 million contract a bargain.

Knicks formed a luxurious lineup this year, with five-core starters of Brunson + Downs + OG Anunobi + Bridges + Hart. It can be said that they have both offense and defense, both inside and outside. However, the depth of the bench was average. In the regular season, the Knicks achieved a record of 51 wins and 31 losses, ranking third in the Eastern Conference. Although the record is good, the Knicks' record is 0 wins and 10 losses when facing the Cavaliers, Celtics and Thunder. Therefore, the outside world is not optimistic about the Knicks, and they all think that they can't fight hard.

However, when facing the defending champion Celtics in the second round, the Knicks' performance was surprising, falling behind by 20 points in two consecutive games, but they finally achieved a magical reversal. They also successfully overturned the Celtics, successfully defeated their opponents 4-2, and advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals. In the Eastern Conference Finals, they also eliminated the 64-win East Cavaliers, the number one in the Eastern Conference, and they are also very strong. Currently, the two teams are fighting for 5 games, and the Knicks are in a 2-3-departure situation. Although the promotion situation is not optimistic, Brunson's personal performance is still impeccable. As the boss of the Knicks, he scored 32 points, 31 points, 23 points, 36 points and 43 points respectively in five games, and averaged 33 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists per game, and his shooting percentage reached 51.4%, which is a perfect superstar performance.

Brunson averaged 30.1 points, 3.5 rebounds and 7 assists per game. Compared with the average 26 points, 3 rebounds and 7 assists per game in the regular season, it can be said that it has been improved by another level and is a typical playoff player.

Not only that, Brunson is different from other maximum-paid players. After joining the Knicks, Brunson performed well, but he chose to cut his salary. Last summer, Brunson and the Knicks reached a four-year, $156.5 million contract renewal, with an average salary of less than 40 million. Judging from Brunson's leadership ability and playoff performance, this is completely a bargain. Most All-Star players can easily win a large contract of $200 million, but Brunson chose to cut his salary, which also gave the Knicks better room, and he even made the contract a bargain.
