Unconsciously, this season's schedule is nearly halfway through
Compared with the previous two seasons, the 2021-22 season has a general feeling of two things:
First, various fancy triggering safety agreements of various players, many teams are in the dilemma of lack of major generals.
Second, by the former touch bypass, many "familiar faces" and "raw faces" appear on the court, retired veterans and develop league players at the same time. Singles Joe's signature mid-range shot near the free throw line and Thomas Jr.'s return to the field give the impression of a dream back in time.
In such a situation, a player to enter the best team is already a strict requirement that exists at the same time as "time and place", and of course, injury, a factor that is too familiar to be familiar.
Back to the point, it's time to wrap up and talk about the best in my heart.
Best Team:
First round: Curry, DeRozan, Durant, Antetokounmpo, Jokic
Second team: Booker, LaVine, Butler, James, Gobert
Three teams: Morant, Harden, George, Green, Embiid
In fact, a burst of prediction is not too difficult, and the comprehensive observation of the record combined with attendance and TPA (total points added, reflecting a player's contribution to both ends of the attack and defense) will provide us with an appropriate observation angle:
The abscissa is offensive and the ordinate is defensive
Jokic is unsurpassed at 245.94 on the right, and the second grade is the letter 195.41 Curry 184.84
It was followed by James 158.58 and Durant 154.78.
Among them, the Kudu word can be described as both the record and the data, if there is no impact such as injuries and illnesses in the later stage, the harvest is a matter of hand.
James' 7 consecutive 30+ games after his comeback, the performance of leading the team to turn the tide many times is amazing, but the previous injury impact and the team's winning rate is not as good as the Nets and Bucks, so even if the TPA is still the top gear, it is difficult to compete to win the alphabet brother and Durant.
The only other backcourt player with a harder prediction, it was thought, would eventually be born among deRozan and LaVine, two of their teammates. Previously, DeRozan's position was unclear, and the All-Star voting page explicitly put DeRozan in the backcourt, coupled with two consecutive three-point whistles, ending the suspense.
However, it is not ruled out that Harden may finally break out, in the few games that Durant missed, Harden has a great tendency to pick up, but the current Nets record does not support the two teams in the same team.
James has made it very clear in the second team, even if the Lakers' record is not stable, but the 37-year-old James's performance is really amazing! In fact, the general direction of the competition for the best lineup in the center position is also very clear - Jokic is unsurpassed, and Embiid and Gobert are competing for the second team.
After all, the positioning of the two in the center paradigm is very different, and the center forward, as the largest player on the court, has four functions under the traditional paradigm: quality cover, efficient blocking and dismantling, high-quality cover, and protection for rebounding.
Gobert is an inheritance and upgrade of the traditional paradigm, and perhaps the picture of being named by the Clippers in the playoffs last year is still criticized, but as far as the regular season is concerned, three DPOYs say it all, and this is definitely not the end.
Embiid is a real paradigm shift, a center who has developed the ability to hold the ball, which may be more appropriate in terms of the positioning in MOBA games, and its positioning is more like a "single" than the traditional center of "tank" or "auxiliary" positioning- half meat, half output, harassing the middle and bottom and cutting the back row. Of course, after focusing on the offense, the work of a traditional center forward may not be so good.
This example is given to illustrate that although the two are players in one position, because the style of play is not a type of player at all, it can only be compared from other aspects.
The advantage of the Jazz's 27-10 record over the digital man's 20-16 record is not a little bit, and the Jazz's record in the East is also the first existence. If Gobert won the second team in the end, I speculate that there are two general reasons: one is the team's record, the other is Embiid's physical impatience, there is the possibility of injury, the 76ers' six-game winning streak, Embiid's best is behind the Emperor's super god and overload.
In summary, Gobert's advantages lie in the league's first defensive WS, second plus-minus (+8.8), rebounding king, and record and attendance, and it is thought that his chances of winning the second team will be greater.
Frontcourt players are actually in the second and third teams is very brain-draining, such as George MVP 4-7 before the injury have stayed, but the degree of recovery after injury plus the record and attendance rate are worrying problems, the same reason for Butler, the team only played 23 games in 38 games, even if the EPM is fourth in the league, under the comprehensive consideration of various factors, the probability of the second team and no team exists at the same time.
The reason they are all on the list of the best teams is because history gives the best cases:
2001–02 Weber 54 games (65.9% attendance, 1 weekly best, 1 monthly best, second team) 1st in the West,
2006-07 Yao Ming 48 games (attendance 58.5%, weekly best 2 times, monthly best 1 time, second team) record 4th in the West,
2006–07 Wade 51 games (62.2% attendance, 3 weekly bests, 0 monthly bests, 3 teams) 5th in the East
If Butler and George can maintain their previous competitive form after returning from injury, the list of the best teams is a high probability event.
And the current ranking of the Greenshirts is not even in the eighth place in the East, Tatum and Brown both have super-super-ghost one-year switching attributes, so this year's Green Shirts may not be able to score in the best team. Coupled with the fact that Cohuai Leonard has not yet returned, the appearance of dark horses in the front line is actually not unexpected
So, will this year be the year when Green returns to the top?
Drummond Green's role in the Warriors is by no means visible in the data of the average of three singles per game, saying several impressive games:
Against the Suns, he had a quasi-triple-double of 8 points, 8 rebounds and 10 assists, while scoring 3 steals and 3 blocks
Against the Heat, 10 assists at halftime, blocking The Tucker's bottom corner three-pointers and extreme saves are still fresh in the picture.
Against the Nets, Durant, who had been in hot form before, was defended to 6 of 19.
In fact, these games are a microcosm of Green's season, when the Warriors' fifth position is not large enough, exempt from the punishment of the same position of the center - Green is the support of the Warriors' defensive system, Green's defense can always be the first time to do just the right amount of defense and pinch, the big center to the dead ball or shot extremely twisted posture. In addition, with the library's gravitational attraction of the pinch, the ability to serve at the top of the arc is gradually getting better. It is worth mentioning that this is the result of the Green League's 14.2% of the league's two hundred rounds outside the round share.
Backcourt players are the most difficult to choose, especially the second and third teams. Lavin, who is number one in the East, is the most stable. The TPA within the team even beat Azan.
Not surprisingly, the four players in the second and third teams will be: Harden, LaVine, Booker, Paul, Morant, and Mitchell in the sixth level.
So how do the other three decide?
The third record in the Jazz League, only to win the Best of the West Mitchell, should be the level of the second team at any time, but considering that Mitchell, who averaged 26.4 points per game last season, and the first record of the Jazz League, is actually no team, which makes the criteria for the selection of backcourt players still become blurred and increasingly difficult to define.
His main rival is Morant, the third place in the West and the fourth place in the West are six wins away, for now, in the case of comparable data, Mitchell's record and attendance are the advantage, but considering Morant's gradual improvement, the Grizzlies climbed all the way, I gave this place in the third team to Morant, if Morant can continue to continue today's performance with the league momentum, the second team is not impossible.
The two stars of the second-place Suns in the league will most likely enter both at the same time in other seasons, but this season's backcourt is the Purgatory field, the requirements are extremely demanding, Chris Paul's base data of 14+10 per game does not have too much advantage, in the 7 games booker missed due to injury, Paul did not take on more assist responsibilities as expected, averaging 14.3 points, 10 assists and 1.9 steals per game, which is almost the same as this season's 14.3 points, 10 assists and 2 steals. Therefore, I personally believe that even if the record and attendance are combined, the probability of Paul entering the best team is very small.
Speaking of Harden, Harden is no longer the omnipotent super scorer who opens up the situation for the team with at least three shooters with at least three shooters again and again, and in situations where the shooters except Mills and KD are unstable, he has increased his use of blocking cover and other tactics, so the downturn at the beginning of the season is traceable.
Harden is continuing to recover — both in terms of tactical adaptation and physical recovery. Although the crotch pull performance at the beginning of the season was criticized, the four consecutive 30+ games from the Christmas war showed that the once off-town beard was returning. If this trend continues, Harden can stabilize his own three formations.
epilogue
The state of the stars who triggered the safety agreement and the injury truce is unknown, and the schedule is currently only halfway through, even if the general trend does not change, but unknown factors and variables still exist. Maybe it's going to be an accurate prediction, or maybe it's just nonsense.
Of course, everything is only at the level of prediction, and the large-scale injuries of the frontcourt stars and the endless amazing performances of the backcourt stars will make the results infinitely expected - who will be expected, who is unexpected, who will be the fans' hearts?
