After the start of this season's NBA, alphabet brother played the level of superstar, dare to fight at key moments, even his own not good long-range shooting has made some progress, if last season's finals before the alphabet brother is the league superstar level player, now he is superstar level, this season's Embiid, Doncic also has superstar level strength, want to become a super giant He needs to prove himself at key moments and large games.
For the definition of the league superstar, superstar and all-star may not be very clear, here I say my division criteria, all-star this need not say much, after all, every year there is an All-Star Game, the average of 20+ players per game is close to the all-star level, superstars are generally excellent team leadership ability, took the regular season MVP, and at the same time selected for the best most of the most are in this category, and superstar is generally won the regular season MVP + FMVP, or like Curry such an epoch-making player.
Speaking of which, today we will talk about the five pseudo-superstar players in the league, whose fame is greater than their strength, and who are not trustworthy at all in the key battles, and they are very crotch-pulling.
Harden
The first is Harden, for Harden everyone is not unfamiliar, 3 sessions of the scoring king also got the regular season MVP, a proper league superstar player, he did not reach the superstar level because he did not prove himself in the finals or key battles, generally speaking, superstar-level players will also have a good performance in key games, they did not get FMVP to affect their status, but Harden in key games, not only did not play as well as usual, but also is very crotch.
Career so far Harden playoffs averaged 23.3 points, 5 rebounds, 6.6 assists and 1.7 steals, in addition to steals, other data compared to the regular season is basically a comprehensive contraction, the overall shooting rate is only 42.8%, three-point shooting rate is only 33.2%, all say Kobe Iron, but Harden is even worse than him, and Kobe Bryant suffered more defensive treatment that year than Harden's intensity, he played a playoff masterpiece in the 18-19 season, He averaged 31.5 points, 6.8 rebounds and 6.6 assists per game, but his overall shooting percentage of 41.3 percent was terrible.
Harden can not play a decent performance in the playoffs is mainly because his foul is not good, the playoffs of the blow penalty scale is not as tight as the regular season, some blowable but not blowing referees generally do not blow, and recently also affected Harden's ability to make fouls, the main reason why Harden is not recognized a lot of times is that his skills are not so good, completing efficient singles is not good at all, and the playoffs have not been trusted, just now it is a pseudo superstar.
Bill
Saying that Beal is a league superstar level player may not be recognized by many fans, but for two consecutive years, the average score per game is more than 30 points, such a performance is also a superstar level, although more often it is empty, but many brushes want to brush can not brush out, but did not be selected for a while or won the MVP, his superstar is also not worthy of the name, but considering that he has been the league's second quarterback for so many years, so pull him into the list.
Compared to Harden, Beal does not have Harden's organizational ability, but the offensive arsenal and scoring stability are better than Harden, he is not good at making fouls, and technology is his main means of scoring. Beal's performance in the playoffs is also very average, averaging 23.5 points, 4.6 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.5 steals per game, shooting 44.2% from the field and 34.7% from three-point range, which is not much worse than his regular season shooting efficiency, but Bill's organizational ability is not worse than Harden's, and he can't cope with it when facing the bag.
The peak performance of The Playoffs was to face the 76ers last season, the 76ers had top defenders Simmons and the Emperor, Beal averaged 30 points, 6.2 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game, shooting 45.5% from the field, but only 22% of the three points did not play at normal level, which also reflected that Beale's performance was still not stable enough.
irving
On the honor and the evaluation of fans, Irving is definitely not up to the standard of a superstar, but it is undeniable that Irving's ability is definitely the level of a league superstar, and he has also proved himself in the finals, if it is not enough personal ability to lead the team, his current status may be very high, but because the professionalism is too general, which also makes Irving not get the praise he deserves, part-time playing, innocent not going to the party are all done by him.
Because of his excellent singles ability, Irving's overall efficiency in the playoffs is also very outstanding, averaging 23.4 points, 3.6 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 1.4 steals, 0.6 blocks, shooting 45.5%, three-point shooting rate of 39.3%, after Iverson, the strongest player with the ability to combine the ball I think is Irving, his ball sense is historical, it is not without reason to be able to become a champion that year, but he has not been able to do two, he has not received much appreciation.
In the '16-17 playoffs, Irving's best playoff year averaged 25.9 points, 2.8 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 1.3 steals per game, shooting 46.8 percent from the field and 37.3 percent from three-point range. Irving's most underrated is his defensive ability, in fact, Irving's defense has always been good, as long as Irving can improve his leadership ability and professionalism, which will be of great help to his future historical status.
Wills
There is no problem in saying that Peak Wei Shao is a top ten player and superstar level in the league, right? The peak season is 17 years of averaging triple-doubles per game to win the regular season MVP, even if last season's Wei Shao, he can still play the average triple-double performance and lead the team into the playoffs, but now Wei Shao has not been involved with the word superstar since joining the Lakers, and even this season even the All-Star has not entered, which is called a garbage contract by the outside world.
To be honest, now let Wei Shao lead a bad team, he can still lead the team to play a good result, but he is definitely not a champion level player, Wei Shao's performance in the playoffs is very comprehensive, but the overall efficiency is really impossible to see, so far in the playoffs, Wei Shao can average 24.6 points, 7.2 rebounds, 7.9 assists and 1.8 steals per game, shooting 40.8%, three-point shooting rate of 29.6% is really not to see, his score is completely high shots.
The peak performance of the Playoffs of Westbrook is also in the 16-17 season, this year Westbrook can average 37.4 points, 11.6 rebounds, 10.8 assists and 2.4 steals per game in the playoffs, just look at the data is really not solvable, right? But shooting only 38.8% from the field and 26.5% from three-point range, Westbrook is a player who relies too much on talent to be honest, he has no skills at all, a point guard can't even throw a shot, and after so many years, he hasn't practiced three-point ability to be a pseudo-superstar player.
DeRozan
The previous DeRozan can not be associated with the superstar at all, but this season's DeRozan entered the MVP selection, but also played the contemporary Jordan's sense of vision, so far this season DeRozan can average 28.1 points, 5.4 rebounds, 5.1 assists 0.9 steals per game, shooting 50.5%, three-point shooting rate of 34.5%, he is the king of the final quarter of the season, all kinds of indiscriminate singles are more embarrassing for Durant in the game with him.
DeRozan is good enough, right? But this season's Bulls against the top three teams in the division to achieve a record of 0 wins and 13 losses is very crotch, DeRozan is not so good when playing hard battles to face the pinch, Azan's single performance this season is indeed superstar level, but his strength has not yet reached this level, the ability to lead the team can only rely on individual scoring, he needs a system to support him, he may be able to play better, but obviously the Bulls do not have this ability.
DeRozan's performance in the playoffs is even more crotch-pulling, averaging 21.9 points, 4.6 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.1 steals per game, shooting only 41.8%, three-point shooting rate of 23.3%, Azan originally did not have three points, coupled with serious psychological problems, which also led to him being called a garbage brother during the Raptors, the Raptors era Azan's personal firepower is very good, the regular season is also very inexplicable, is considered Tobe's successor, but the poor performance in the playoffs led to him being called a garbage brother.
