Detailed description of the beginning and the end of Ray Allen s departure in Boston in 2012

Recently, I updated Danny Angie's article. The original plan was to end until 2008. However, many of the top brothers on the list sent private messages to Fireworks Jun, saying that the future was more exciting and wanted to see the future. The top brothers on the list must meet the requirements of Fireworks Jun. However, Angie has been working as the general manager of the Celtics for 20 years. This year is too long, so let's pick up some important things to write. In this chapter, let's talk about the previous conflict between Danny Angie and Ray Allen in the late stage of the Celtics, or the conflict between the Celtics and Ray Allen.

In NBA history, examples of stars leaving or being traded are common. Although the stars who are traded are unhappy, they all understand the reality of "this is the NBA". As the saying goes, stay at the front line, and meet each other in the future. Although there are knots in your heart, you should say hello when you meet, at least it is acceptable to be on the big side.

However, this example of Ray Allen and the Celtics is rare in history. When the two ended, it was almost incompatible. Ray Allen not only ran away in anger, but also joined the Celtics' arch-rival Miami Heat, but also had a completely broken relationship with his teammates who had fought with him for several years. It can be said that he never interacted with each other. Not only did he block each other, but he did not attend the retirement and Hall of Fame ceremonies.

Then we can’t help but ask, what happened to Ray Allen in the later stages of the Celtics? Is Danny Angie the mastermind behind it?

The Celtics suffered major setbacks in two years after winning the championship in 2008. In 2009, Garnett tore his right cruciate ligament and was reimbursed for the season. Although the second fat Glen Davis played well, he was not a super giant after all. If Garnett is not there, the Celtics can only count on the outstanding performance of the other two giants Pils and Ray Allen. Pierce and Ray Allen performed very well in the regular season, but Ray Allen pulled it in the playoffs.

The Celtics played against Magic in the second round, Ray Allen did not have any advantage in the match against the unknown man Michael Pitrus. Ray Allen averaged only 13 points per game in seven games, with a double shooting percentage of 34% + 19%, and his performance was very dismal. In the end, the Celtics lost the tiebreak and stopped in the second round. After Garnett's comeback in 10, Ray Allen, who is already 35 years old, can still maintain the first-tier star level in the regular season, and contribute 16+3+3 per game, but his performance in the playoffs was very unstable. He played well in the first round and then pulled it again in the second round. Anyway, it was a game of gods and ghosts. In the end, this unstable situation broke out in the 10-year finals.

In the 10th finals, Ray Allen performed superbly, making 8 of 11 three-pointers and scored 32 points to lead the team to win, but then his condition took a sharp turn. In the next five games, Ray Allen's three-pointers totaled only 4 of 29 shots. Some people said that the Celtics lost to Gasol, who broke the inner demons in the finals that year, and some people if the fat Perkins G7 was not injured, it would be hard to say who would win who would lose. But in fact, Ray Allen's unpredictable feel is the biggest variable in the finals. If Ray Allen performed a little better, the Celtics would have won a long time ago.

At the 2010 draft, Ray Allen smelled a different atmosphere. The Celtics chose double-ath guard Avery Bradley in the 13th pick in the first round. Why did it make Ray Allen feel uneasy?

In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the most serious problem faced by the Celtics at that time was not offense, but defense. The Celtics have always established a foothold with super defense. It is no exaggeration to say that Kevin Garnett is the whole system. At his peak, Garnett could build the defensive system of the entire team with his all-round skills.

But the problem is that Garnett was 34 years old in 2010, and he also experienced serious injuries with a torn cruciate ligament. In fact, since Garnett came to the Celtics, his form has declined a big step every year. In the 2009-2010 season, Garnett averaged no playing time even 30 minutes, and could only score 14.3 points, 7.3 rebounds and 0.8 blocks. All data are the lowest value except for the rookie season.

In other words, Garnett's defensive task is too heavy, and he can no longer be able to catch up and run like he did in his peak period. Therefore, at the 2010 draft, many fans and media believed that the Celtics, who hold the No. 13 pick, would choose an inside or a high forward to share Garnett's defensive pressure, such as Trevor Walker or Daniel Orton, etc.

But the Celtics chose Avery Bradley as a double-athlete guard with good offense and single defense capabilities on the outside.

This matter is not over yet. After the draft, the free market door opened immediately. I don’t know what date it started. It was rumored that Anji accepted the price of Ray Allen to listen to Ray Allen’s offer. There are even rumors that in order to draft picks, Anji wanted to trade Ray Allen, whose contract expired this summer, to the reconstruction team. These rumors made Ray Allen confused and angry, but there was no evidence and it did not happen. Everything was just rumors...

Although the transaction is a rumor, on the issue of renewal, Anji's attention to Ray Allen is obviously greatly reduced. His original contract expired in 10 years. For the team's leading stars, early renewal is the most basic respect. Pierce's contract also expired in 10 years, but in 2009, he received a 4-year, 60 million maximum salary contract issued by Anji. Garnett also received a 4-year, 51 million maximum salary six months in advance in early 2009.

But Ray Allen was dragged until the moment the contract expired, and Danny Angie only offered him 20 million for two years. Obviously, this operation made Ray Allen dissatisfied. However, this year the Celtics were in the window of winning the championship. In order to win the championship, Ray Allen did not say anything publicly. However, after the contract was signed, Ray Allen quickly fired his agent Jim Tanner. Ray Allen's dissatisfaction at this time can be seen from this..

It is worth mentioning that after fired Tanner, Ray Allen joined the leadership of James' good brother Fu Paul. This decision laid an important foreshadowing for Ray Allen's subsequent departure.

In 2011, the Celtics were defeated by the Heat 4:1 in the second round of the playoffs. Ray Allen performed well, with averaging 16+3+3 per game, and averaging 50% three-point shooting percentage. After the season, Ray Allen officially received a notice from Angie that in order to get new star OJ Mayo, the Celtics may send Ray Allen to the Memphis Grizzlies in the reconstruction period.

This decision surprised Allen Ray, but he had to choose to bear it silently. But in the next few days, Doug Rivers called Allen and said that the deal had not been agreed and Allen could prepare for next season with peace of mind, which also made Allen breathe a sigh of relief.

However, the next day, Ray Allen was stabbed by the league's ultimate news Wang Wo Shen. Wo Shen revealed that the reason why the deal between Ray Allen and OJ Mayo was not reached is mainly because the Grizzlies strongly requested to join Celtic rookie Avery Bradley in the transaction, but Angel would rather let the transaction abort than give it.

What is the level of Bradley's rookie season? His performance was very good, without any organizational ability and breakthrough ability, and his proud shooting and defense also looked very average. He only played 30 games throughout the season, averaged only 5 minutes per game and scored 1.7 points. He didn't even make the roster in the playoffs! It is said that he is a water dispenser administrator to look up to him.

No matter whether Ray Allen plays well or badly, he is at least a veteran who has contributed to the team for many years. Sometimes dignity and face are more important than money. The revelation of Wo Shen is equivalent to Anji trampling Ray Allen's face on the ground. In Anji's eyes, Ray Allen's importance is not even as high as an unknown rookie. Who can stand this?

However, after all, Ray Allen has not been traded yet, and the game will continue. The 2011-2012 season was the last year for 36-year-old Ray Allen to be in the Celtics. By chance, Ray Allen suffered a right wrist strain, a bone spur on the left hand, and some minor injuries to the ankle and knee. Although these injuries were not serious, Ray Allen still played in only 46 games this season.

In fact, the small number of games is not the most critical. For Lei Allen, the most heart-wrenching thing is actually his role is gradually becoming marginalized.

In the days when Ray Allen was away, Bradley was reused by Doug Rivers. Last season, Bradley, who played only 30 games and averaged only 5 minutes per game, played 64 games this season, starting in 30 of which, with averaging 21.5 minutes per game, produced 7.6 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.4 assists, and hit the doubles 49.8% + 40.7%. In the "Fastest Progressive Player Award" at the end of the season, Bradley ranked sixth.

On January 17, 2011, Ray Allen returned from injury, but before the game, he was notified to play a substitute for Bradley, which made Ray Allen unacceptable. You should know that in the previous 1,102 games in total in 15 years, Ray Allen only played three substitutes. He had no plans to retreat to the second line, and he was going to play a substitute for a freshman who had just debuted. Ray Allen was very resistant, but he still played diligently. This season, in the 46 games he played in, he played 4 substitutes for Bradley (Bradley was reimbursed later in the season).

At the same time, on the court, Ray Allen's role is gradually marginalized. In fact, in the early stages of the formation of the Big Three, Ray Allen was the one among the Big Three who sacrificed the most for the ball rights. Let's take a look at the usage rate of high-level data. Garnett's usage rate in the last year of the Timberwolves was 27.4%, and the Celtics' first year was 25.6%, a decrease of 1.8%, and the difference was not big. Pierce dropped from 30.6% to 24.9%, a decrease of 5.7%, which seems to have dropped a lot, but in the following years, because Garnett focused on defense, he began to gradually reduce his offensive ball rights. Pierce's usage rate continued to increase, and the Big Three reached the level of 27-28% in the later period.

In contrast, Ray Allen's usage rate in the last year of supersonics was 29.6%, while the Celtics' first year plummeted to 21.5%, a drop of 8.1 percentage points. And the worst thing is that every year since then, Ray Allen's usage rate has declined, 20.8%, 20.2%, 19.8%, until Ray Allen's 18.6% in the last year of the Celtics. What is the usage rate of

18.6%?

For comparison, Ray Allen's first year when he went to the Heat, that is, the next year, played in a role player position, and his usage rate this year was 19.3%.

In the 2012 playoff Eastern Conference Final, the Celtics and the Heat's three new and old giants attracted a lot of attention. After seven fierce battles, the Celtics lost to the finals, which was also the final peak of the three giants of the Celtics. In this round of the series, Ray Allen performed poorly, averaging only 12 points per game, and a double shooting percentage of only 37% + 35%. In fact, throughout the playoffs, Ray Allen's performance was not good, and he averaged only 10 points per game, shooting percentage of 39%, and three-point shooting percentage of 30%.

Is Ray Allen really old? Is it difficult to ride on the battlefield?

is not.

In the Celtics' tactical system, Ray Allen's participation is decreasing year by year. There is an important factor among them. It is also what Ray Allen has repeatedly expressed dissatisfaction with Danny Angie and Doug Rivers, that is, Rondo is hostile to himself, and even joined forces with Bradley, Perkins and other players to form the "Anti-Thunder Gang", isolated Ray Allen off the court, and deliberately did not pass the ball to Ray Allen on the court, but Danny Angie and Doug Rivers ignored Ray Allen's complaints..

In the subsequent offseason, Angie issued a 2-year and 12-million ultra-low contract for Ray Allen, but surprisingly, Ray Allen turned to accept the Heat's lower price of 3-year and 9.5 million contract, and joined the Heat, which had just eliminated the Celtics. Among them, James' good friend, Ray Allen's agent Ritchie Paul, had a lot of "power". No one at that time expected that Ray Allen, a role player with an annual salary of only more than 3 million, could actually save James' career...

This is not Fireworks' nonsense. I wrote an article before to analyze the impact of Ray Allen's key three-pointer in the 2013 Finals on James. Those who are interested can go and take a look.

Every year, I am involved in trading rumors/playing substitutes for newcomers/the sense of participation in offense has decreased year by year/teammates are hostile to me/the team leaders do not pay attention to and disrespect to me… The above all leads to the tragedy of Ray Allen leaving Boston in anger!

We have mentioned all the previous things, but Rondo's hostility towards Allen, we did not say that this part is actually one of the main reasons why Allen left Boston. According to rumors, the relationship between Allen and Rondo was so bad that it was so bad that he spoke harshly in the locker room. If it weren't for the teammates pulling him, they would have fought!

So the question is, why is the relationship between Ray Allen and Rondo so bad? How did Lei Allen, who always showed good men in the league, offend Rondo? What roles did Pierce and Garnett play in this? Everything is revealed in the next chapter! Every day, Fireworks will continue to output high-quality original content to everyone.
