On March 10, Beijing time, the NBA regular season will come to an end with one month left, and teams entering the playoffs will attack the championship. As the regular season draws to a close, the biggest suspense besides the teams that compete in the playoffs is the choice of the best lineup. This year we have seen a lot of good players and it is very difficult to choose 3 centers, 6 forwards and 6 defenders. American media Fade World gave their choice, alphabet brother led the first team, James, Durant and other players were selected for the second team.
All-Third Team: Paul, Booker, Jimmy Butler, Tatum, Towns
Paul, who will be named to the All-Team for the 11th time this year, still leads the league's assists list, and proves that he is still the top point guard in the league at the age of 37, making a push for the championship. But as a leader and organizer, Paul is currently playing only 58 games with injuries, which could have affected him in the final rankings. His teammate Booker has become more and more mature, and even if Paul is injured, Booker can always lead the team to victory and maintain the team's top position in the record.
Under Butler's leadership, the Heat successfully broke through this year's powerful Eastern Conference and has been at the top of the list, and as a leader, he deserves to be selected for the best team. Tatum, the hottest player in the second half of the season, led the team to 17 wins in the last 20 games and is on his way to becoming a top star. Towns, the league's best big man, is also a three-pointer champion. The Timberwolves are currently no. 7 in the West and are very promising to make it to the playoffs this year. Towns is proving that he can lead his team into the playoffs even without Butler.
All-Second Team: Curry, Harden, James, Durant, Jokic
The Warriors are currently in third place in the West and are likely to end the two consecutive years of missing the playoffs. Curry is the main reason this Warriors are back at the top. Despite his ups and downs, this does not negate his position in the team and his influence on the team. Averaging 25.8 points, 5.2 rebounds and 6.4 assists per game this season, Curry deserves to be named to the All-Team Team.
Harden, though controversial, is still impeccable in terms of personal data alone. Harden averaged 22.7 points, 7.9 rebounds, 10.4 assists and 1.3 steals per game this season, and he proved his importance, both at the Nets and the 76ers. In any case, he deserves a second-team defender spot.
James' performance at the age of 37 is still incredible. He still played 36.8 minutes this season, averaging 29.4 points, 8.1 rebounds, 6.2 assists, 1.5 steals and 1 block per game, and still showed great dominance in the field. The only fly in the ointment is that the Lakers' current record is very difficult, and the team may fall out of the playoffs at any time. As strong as James may not be able to change the team's pattern.
Although Durant has only played 38 games, his average of 29.5 points and 52% of the game is proof that he is still the best player in the league. Before he was injured, he was also a popular candidate for the regular season MVP. But Durant and James are in a similar situation, and the Nets are also plagued by the record, with the team only ranking 8th in the East, with a winning percentage hovering around 50%. The team's record and low number of appearances are the main reasons for Durant's selection into the second team.
Jokic's presence in this position will undoubtedly make people very confused. With the Nuggets losing two big players, Murray and Porter Jr., Jokic carried the team alone and played an incredible performance to help the team stabilize the top 6 position in the West. He has contributed 18 triple-doubles this season and is on the verge of surpassing Bilun Zhang in the total number of triple-doubles. But trapped by the selection rules for the best teams, the league can only have one center in the lineup, which is why Jokic has to stop at the second team.
All-in-one first team: Morant, Doncic, DeRozan, Alphabet Brother, Embiid
Through his stunning schedule performances, Morant has gradually grown into an All-Star player. What's even more surprising is that the Grizzlies are currently in second place in the West, overpowering strong teams such as the Warriors and Jazz, which many people did not expect before the start of the season. Morant seems to let people see Rose in the MVP season, the same young and promising, the same promising, his performance this year deserves to be selected for the first team. As for Doncic, he is expected to be the future façade of the league, and his influence on the field is enormous. He is also the single-core team of the league's current top-ranked teams, carrying the team alone on his shoulders.
From last season's missed play-offs to today's top 4 in the East, DeRozan's contribution is naturally the greatest. He was underestimated by most of the media before the start of the season, but he punched everyone in the face with his personal performance, entering the MVP discussion with an average of 28 points, 5.4 rebounds and 5.1 assists per game. Some fans even called DeRozan by the nickname "New Bull Jordan", and his performance on the field was evident.
Alphabet Brother has been clinging to Jokic and Embiid in the MVP list, and the 27-year-old big man is still the best player in the league. He currently ranks 1st in the league with 29.7 points and 5th in the league with 11.5 rebounds. Under his leadership, the Bucks surpassed the 76ers today and entered the top 2 in the East. Alphabet Brother's dominance on the field ensures that the Bucks are still the biggest hit to win the championship.
Embiid was the favourite for MVP last season, but unfortunately he was injured in the middle of the season and gave up his chance to Jokic. He has been healthy this season, showing terrible strength in the box, currently averaging 2nd in the league in points per game, 8th in the rebounding league, and has played incredible performances many times in the game, and he naturally does not want to miss all the awards this season. After Harden and Embiid completed the team, the 76ers are naturally the league's most championship-winning team. In the influence of the game, Embiid has always been a better player than Jokic, which is an important reason why the FW chose Embiid as a team.
