Shampoo: Do ​​you have to figure out whether you want to average 20+ or ​​a championship ring? I can score 17-20 points, too

Recently, former NBA player Shampoo talked about scoring with Tony Allen on a podcast show.

Shamport: I think there are many players who are both offensive and defensive, and they have not received corresponding recognition. Maybe they can't block every arrow, but they do have a good defense, do their own rotation, and they put in enough effort.

Tony Allen: They helped the game. Many times, although our senses cannot defend against every ball, stop making trouble, we can also score.

Shamport: That's right, I can score 4-5 points in a row, let me shoot and give me a pick-and-roll. The coach may say that you just need to keep your average score per game and don’t try it (too much). This is unreasonable. I can score 2-3 three-pointers in one game and score 17-20 points. But calm down and think about it, is it really necessary to do this? When you have giants like Anthony and Stodmeier, and good offensive players like Irving, James, and Love, I will play the role of fighting dogs. Do you have to think clearly whether you want a championship ring? Or is it a performance of 20 points per game?
