The ultimate failure! US$229 million in 4 years! The strongest helper in the literary class was defeated by Curry

On November 15, NBA Cup (mid-season), the Spurs lost to the Warriors 108-109. Curry turned on the rampage mode. He played 36 minutes in this game, making 16 of 26 shots, 9 of 17 three-pointers, 8 of 8 free throws, and scored 49 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals. Curry has scored 40 points or more in a single game 44 times since he turned 30, tying Jordan for the most in history.

Wenbanyama played 38 minutes, making 10 of 21 shots, 3 of 8 three-pointers, 3 of 3 free throws, scoring 26 points, 12 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and 3 blocks. In the past three days, the Spurs were double-killed by the Warriors. In these two games, when Dream Green was defending, Wenbanyama made a total of 8 of 21 shots (only 38.1%) and made 6 turnovers.

Spurs guard Fox played 33 minutes today, making 10 of 22 shots, 4 of 7 three-pointers, 0 free throws, 24 points, 4 rebounds, 10 assists, 3 steals, 1 block, and 4 turnovers, with a plus-minus value of +1. At the last moment of the game, Fox missed two key shots, was fouled by Curry, and made a free throw to win. The Spurs currently have 8 wins and 4 losses and have fallen to sixth place in the Western Conference!

Before Fox came back, the Spurs had 6 wins and 2 losses, with a winning rate of 75%, and they were once ranked second in the Western Conference. Fox returned and played 4 games, and the Spurs only had 2 wins and 2 losses, with a winning rate of 50%. Fox averaged 34 minutes per game, scoring 20.5 points, 4 rebounds, 5.8 assists, 1 steal, and 4.5 turnovers. His three shooting percentages were: 50%, 33.3%, and 90.9%.

In the fourth quarter of today's game, Fox scored only 2 points on 1 of 6 shots. In the last 2 minutes, he scored 0 points on 0 of 4 shots and made 1 mistake. The Spurs have high expectations for Fox and gave him a four-year, $229 million maximum salary contract this offseason. This is the largest contract that the Spurs can offer at this stage, and the team did not lower the price when renewing the contract.

The Spurs second-year guard Castle has started 12 games this season. He averaged 33.3 minutes per game, 18.4 points, 6.3 rebounds, 7.8 assists, 1.8 steals, and 4.1 turnovers. His three shooting percentages were: 50.3%, 22.9%, and 69.9%. Physical shooting is still a shortcoming, but his scoring and assists are significantly improved compared to last season.

Finally, let’s take a look at the game data. Do you think Fox is suitable to partner with Wenban?
