Nicknamed "Divine Bird", he broke 7 teeth for the Rockets, and where did Landry, who peaked 16+5, go

Preface

Although Yao Ming has retired for many years, when he played in the NBA, he brought the fans a touch, and it is still very emotional to recall today, although the strength of the Rockets at that time was average, but as Yao Ming's teammates, they all have good popularity in China. And what we want to talk about today is one of Yao Ming's teammates in the later stages of his career, and he is also an inspirational role model for the second round show, he is Carl Landry, who is nicknamed "Divine Bird" by fans. During the 22-game winning streak, he was a steady rotation of the team, and in the 08-09 season, he was an indispensable member of the team's interior line, so after the 08-09 season, where did Landry go later?

The desperate Saburo of the rocket, but was sent

。

Landry is the most familiar impression to fans, is his aggressive fighting ability, although the talent is mediocre, but whenever he plays, Landry's body seems to have inexhaustible energy, but this also makes Landry often suffer accidental injuries, in the game with the Mavericks, he was once Dirk Nowitzki broke a full 5 teeth, and in the playoff series against the Jazz, he was annoyed Carlos Boozer elbowed 2 teeth, and he even suffered an accidental gunshot wound off the court.

However, none of that affected Landry's form, and he still fought for every opportunity in the court, which was the biggest reason for his success in the NBA. In the 09-10 season, because Yao Mai was unable to play, and Ron Artest switched to the Lakers, the Rockets started a rebuild. This allowed Landry to seize the opportunity, as the team's sixth man, he averaged 16.1 points and 5.5 rebounds per game, which was a statistic that could have hit the Sixth Man of the Year trophy at the time.

However, just when Landry was proud, the Rockets sent him to the Kings before the trade deadline in exchange for Kevin Martin, although he only played two and a half seasons in the Rockets, Landry was full of feelings for Space City, so when it was time to leave, Landry was also difficult to say goodbye.

After arriving at the Kings, Landry became the team's starting forward, and his playing time soared to 37.6 minutes, and happily, Landry withstood the pressure, handing over 18 points, 6.5 rebounds and 1 steal in the remaining 28 games, and shooting a good 52% from the field, which gave him the opportunity to continue playing for the Kings. However, this year is also the best season of Landry's career, you must know that he is 27 years old, and he can only be used as the team's immediate force, and he may be sent away at any time.

A life of displacement, but maintaining a positive attitude.

In the 2010 draft, the Kings drafted potential interior DeMarcus Cousins from the University of Kentucky, which was not a good thing for Landry, who was positioned at the same power forward as Landry, which also reduced Landry's playing time. In the 10-11 season, Landry was the team's bench for most of the time, and although he still averaged 11.9 points and 4.8 rebounds per game, this failed to impress the Kings, and before the trade deadline, he was used as a trade chip by the team, this time to New Orleans.

Unlike the Kings, the Hornets at this time were led by Chris Paul and were also a playoff-caliber team in the West, and the team acquired Landry to strengthen the scoring ability of the interior, and his excellent close-range scoring made him quickly integrate into the Hornets. It was also in this year's playoffs that Landry averaged 15.8 points and 5 rebounds per game, helping the Hornets and the defending champion Lakers to lose in 6 games. With his outstanding performance, Landry was offered a one-year, $9 million contract extension.

However, Paul's departure quickly made the Hornets a fish belly, although Landry could have 12.5 points and 5.2 rebounds in the 11-12 season, but the help for the team was limited, and the Hornets were determined to rebuild, so Landry did not get a contract extension after the season.

Considering that Landry is only 29 years old, and he has a good scoring ability near the restricted area, coupled with a lot of hard work, the Warriors signed Landry, and Landry has still played well in the Warriors' year. He missed only one game in the regular season, still averaged 10.8 points and six rebounds per game, and helped the Warriors reach the Western Conference semifinals in the playoffs, which boosted his value again. So in the summer of 2013, Landry jumped out of his contract and signed a new four-year, $26 million contract with his former club, the Kings.

Plagued by injuries and reluctantly faded out of the NBA.

After returning to Sacramento, fate played a trick on Landry, with injuries to the hip, knee and ankle joints, which made Landry only play 18 games in the 13-14 season, and when he needed to fight, the injury made it difficult for him to exert his strength, which caused his contribution to plummet, averaging only 4.2 points and 3.2 rebounds per game, and finally had to undergo surgery, and the season was also declared reimbursed.

And this injury has caused Landry's already average athleticism to decline a lot, and he is over 30 years old, and his chances in the NBA are getting slimmer and slimmer. In the 14-15 season, although he was still able to score 7.2 points and 3.8 rebounds, the Kings ran out of patience and chose to trade Landry again.

The 15-16 season is Landry's last season in the NBA, at the age of 32, he got the opportunity to play with the 76ers, and the 76ers' purpose to get Landry is also very simple, that is, to continue to mess up, so as to get a high pick in the draft, although he still has 9.8 points and 4.1 rebounds, but the injury caused Landry to only play 46 games, and he had no choice but to say goodbye to the NBA after the season.

Later, Landry also briefly joined the CBA, as a foreign aid of the Jilin team, in the 17-18 season, he could get 26.7 points, 11.2 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.2 steals, and his performance was not bad, but he only played in the CBA for one year before choosing to leave, and then Landry has been idle at home and completely faded out of the professional arena.
