The NBA regular season is gradually coming to an end, now each team has its own small calculations, if the most nervous team in the East, then it is definitely their top four in the division, because everyone does not want to touch the Nets, and the Heat are now the first in the East, but they also do not want to meet Durant and Irving, but the Bucks, 76 and Celtics and other teams are also playing, just do not want to get on, as the top four of the division but think about how to fall, it is also a pain.
Don't look at the Nets is now just a play-off team, their strength is beyond doubt, especially after Irving lifted the epidemic prevention restrictions, with the league's top three levels of Durant, no one dares to say that they win them, in the playoffs the quality of the stars directly determine the height of this team, to the playoffs is to play stars, and through this season, many of the previous top stars have not had the peak of the state to become pseudo stars, today we will take stock of the league's five pseudo-superstars.
Jimmy Butler
Although the Heat are now at the top of the division, the main reason is the excellent thickness of the team lineup, they have introduced two outstanding veterans such as Lowry and Tucker in the offseason, coupled with the growth of young players such as Vincent and Hiro, as well as Spollstra's excellent tactical strategy, the Heat have played excellent team basketball, they have averaged 6 people in double figures this season, 10 people have averaged more than 7 points per game, and the thickness of the lineup is quite terrible.
Although the Heat are high in the East, but few fans think that they have the strength to win the championship, the main reason is that the stars are not good, Hiero and Adebayo are too young, the team boss Butler also does not have the strength of the past, this season Butler averaged 21.3 points, 5.9 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game, shooting 48%, three-point shooting rate of 22%, this three-point shooting ability is directly similar to the dream of Green, so in many games Butler is often empty on the outside.
This also affected the team's system, compared to 20 years of Butler, now Jimmy is really too much worse, in 20 years Butler played a superstar style attack and defense integration, hard and fierce, now can only be regarded as a promise, in the face of weak brigade OK, facing the strong team is difficult to have a good play, it turns out that Butler is also an all-star level, not the league superstar level, in 20 years he played well, in addition to the state, his free throws are also more, to put it bluntly, it is the league to take care of, and now averages 6 free throws per game, That's 3 less than the average in 20 years.
Wills
The Lakers have come to this step today, mainly blame Pelinka's strange operation, followed by Wei Shao can not integrate into the system, the Lakers in the past few years to cultivate several outstanding blue-collar workers have been sent away, which also makes their role players lack of strength, in the case of insufficient role player strength, the star will have to bear more responsibility, but Wei Shao can not integrate into the team's system, plus now the efficiency is not better than the average of three doubles per game those seasons, resulting in the Lakers' current situation, into the playoffs are problems.
Wei Shao this season since joining the Lakers, his sacrifice is really a lot, averaging 18.2 points, 7.4 rebounds, 7.1 assists and 1 steal per game, shooting 44%, three-point shooting rate of 30%, four statistics compared to last season have declined, now Wei Shao has entered the second half of his career, he is eating the loss of the name, now he is 33 years old, not what Wei Young Master, from the year can 1 pick 5 god turtle, has now fallen to the point of garbage contract.
In fact, the player who has always won the regular season MVP can be defined as a league superstar, but Wei Shao seems to be an exception, he became the MVP because of the average triple-double per game, although the Wei Shao at that time was really strong, but the team record was not too prominent, matching him with George and Anthony, the effect was also seen, even if the Wei Shao was barely the league superstar level, now even the strength of the all-star is not counted, the pseudo superstar is beyond doubt.
Bill
The Wizards' full trust in Bill and Bill's loyalty to Washington could be a good story, but will they really have a future to look forward to? I am not optimistic, after all these years, the team with Beal as the core of the record everyone has seen that even the playoffs are difficult to advance, if it is not Wei Shao last season, they can not enter the playoffs, the result of this season Wei Shao left, Bill was injured, the team did not qualify for the playoffs.
For Beal this player is really difficult to define, his offensive firepower is outstanding, in addition to the past two years of this season his average score per game has exceeded 30 points, you say a player ordinary player you let him brush absolutely can not brush so many points, the league's second quarterback is not to say that the blind hat, but Bill has the strength of a superstar but does not have the temperament and role of a superstar, the simple scoring is good, the ability to lead the team is very bad.
Beal is more suitable to be a second boss, if he is paired with Doncic or Harden, he can play his role to the maximum, the team system does not need him, he can play his own talent on the offensive end, Beal's defensive ability is actually good, but there is no leadership temperament to determine his height, he can become the second boss of the top three levels of the league, but as the team boss can only be regarded as a pseudo-superstar.
Mitchell
Jazz for many years in a row into the playoffs, last season is the league's first record, so Mitchell this young player is also considered by some fans to have superstar-level ability, the so-called league superstar is worse than Durant, alphabet this supergiant, the playoffs may not be as consistent as the superstar output, but the team-leading ability and personal performance is better than the average all-star, this is the definition of dividing superstars, in fact, I have not thought that Mitchell has such a ability, but considering that some fans recognize him, Let's talk about it.
So far this season, the Jazz are ranked fifth in the West, and now most teams are all out, unlike last season, most of the team core absences, coupled with the growth of young teams, the Jazz have come to their due position, Mitchell in the competition with top stars is generally more than losing more wins and less, the key moment opponent is really progressive, he is really able to play iron, at the critical moment of this season can win 2.5 points per game The league is 24th, but the mistake is 0.4 times the league is second, the shooting rate is only 37.2%, and the three-point shooting rate is 20.7%.
Is the efficiency of such crotch pulling a superstar? Not at all, even more unreliable than most All-Star players, Mitchell can become the unshakable core of the Jazz because the Jazz have a defensive system that needs a player to digest the ball, so Mitchell benefited, just like the first season of his career, the team had Gobert's bottom, very scary on the defensive end, which can reach the playoffs, so the real soul of this team is Gobert.
Clay
14 three-pointers in a single game, 60 points in three quarters, G6 soup, this is the honor of Klay, although he was only the warrior's second or third boss before, but in the 15 to 16 years, as the team's second-in-command Clay is definitely the level of the league's superstar, the three-point line outside the knife knife heart, because Curry let him cover up a lot of light and honor, but in the playoffs, Clay has no solution everyone has seen, attack and defense is very difficult to deal with.
But after 19 years of serious injuries, the current Klay is far less outstanding than before, and even became a burden to the Warriors to win, because he is the team's veteran level figure, after doing the wrong thing, Dream and Curry dare not say him, and Kerr is still very trusting of him, which also has Klay now ignores the system of various singles, his ideas are very pure, I need to prove myself, now there is not much ball, get the opportunity to shoot.
But he seems to have forgotten that now his escape speed is very slow, it is almost difficult to run out of the empty position, so every time the projection is basically in front of someone, and in the face of someone defending, Clay will choose to break through with the ball, he is not a player with the ball to break through, and it has also affected his efficiency and the team's offense, averaging 18.7 points, 3.9 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game this season, shooting 41.3% from the field, shooting 36.5% from three-point range, and now Clay is not a superstar, and the team has him when he loses more and wins less.
Speaking of which, do you know about the pseudo-superstars in which alliances? Welcome to leave a message to discuss.
