Ginobili went from a long-haired wind-chasing boy to a bearded uncle. Ginobili's NBA career has ended, and our youth has also faded away with the return of the demon sword.

9, Paul locked the Rockets with a high salary, who can compete with the Warriors in the West?
This summer, Paul performed very mediocre this season after receiving the Rockets' 4-year 160 million contract! In the 26 games currently representing the Rockets, Paul averaged only 15.6 points, 4 rebounds and 8 assists per game, and his shooting percentage has dropped to a career low of 41.5%. Now, coupled with this absence, the outside world's criticism of Paul's "high salary and low ability" is rampant. When Paul is labeled as having an annual salary of 40 million yuan, it will indeed have a negative impact on the Rockets! It can be said to be a vicious cycle - Paul himself has too many injuries and absenteeism rate; in addition, Paul is almost 34 years old, and his efficiency has been declining year by year. Now he has earned another 40 million, locking down the Rockets' salary space; when these factors are combined, it will naturally bring a series of negative effects.
