The NBA's playoffs are not only a confrontation between two teams, but also a shura field between stars and stars.
Some people have lost here, some people have become famous here, and compared to the regular season, the outbreak in the playoffs is often easier to get the recognition of the outside world and the team, in the past few years, there have been many players who have changed their fate through the playoffs, such as Leonard, Leigh Coaching, Middleton, etc., this year is no exception, although the playoffs have only started 5 days, but five potential new stars have been born.
Jaylen Brunson (2018 No. 33)
Brunson's performance exceeded everyone's expectations, and before the series began, no one thought that the lone ranger without Doncic would be the opponent of the Jazz, but what was the result?
After 3 games, the big score lead is actually the Lone Ranger, the reason why it is this situation, all because of Brunson's super god play, as of now, he averaged 39.3 minutes per game, can get 32 points, 5.3 rebounds, 5.0 assists, shooting 50.7%, three-point shooting rate of 41.2%, average 2.3 goals per game.
Don't look at Brunson is not tall, talent is also very general, but the skill is exquisite, the footsteps are solid, the style of the ball is calm, the ability to read the defense is also quite outstanding, although the scoring means are not much, most of them rely on breakthroughs, but on this move, the Jazz can not prevent, whether it is Mitchell, Boyan, O'Neal, or Conley, can only act as a background board, if the Jazz can not find a way to limit Brunson, then this round of series, I am afraid it is really to be accounted for.
Anthony Edwards (2020 No. 1)
Edwards in the first playoff game of his career, on 23 shots 12, scored 36 points at the same time, but also sent 6 assists, defensive end, there are also 1 steal and 2 blocks into the account, under his leadership, the Timberwolves upset upset the league's second Grizzlies, which made many Wolves fans see the hope of "Black Seven", although the next 2 games, the Grizzlies played better, taking away 2 consecutive wins, but Edwards' performance is still commendable.
In this series, he averaged 25 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists per game, shooting 48.1%, shooting 40% from three-point range, averaging 4 three-pointers per game, or that sentence, how far the Timberwolves can go in the future depends entirely on how much Edwards' talent can be cashed in, and his ability to solve is the Timberwolves' weapon to attack the city.
Jordan Poole (2019 No. 28)
Back 3 years ago, when he first entered the NBA, Poole was almost sprayed by fans to retire, because his efficiency was too low, shooting only 33%, but now, Poole has become the Arrow of the Warriors' offensive end, especially in the playoffs, Poole can average 28.7 points per game, shooting a high of 66.7%, shooting 59.1% from three-point range, averaging 4.3 goals per game, in terms of offensive efficiency, he is not inferior to Stephen Curry in his heyday.
Now look, the Warriors management's vision is indeed unique, really worthy of the 5 years to win 3 championships of the dynasty team, according to this trajectory to continue, this summer, the Warriors should start the plan to renew Pooler, but compared to the previous rumors of 4 years and 80 million US dollars, the Warriors may have to pay a greater price to keep this new star.
Teres Maxi (2020 No. 21)
Maxie is really lucky, by walking Simmons, ushered in the ball-holding big core James Harden, in the former MVP side, Maxi's offensive talent has been completely released, he does not need to hold the ball, nor do he need to think about tactics, as long as he puts his foot on the accelerator pedal, ready to accelerate at any time, the counterattack accelerates, the weak side breakthrough accelerates, and throws a few three-pointers from time to time, the work is obviously much simpler than before, and the data is more dazzling.
So far in the playoffs, Maxie has averaged 26.7 points, 5.7 rebounds, 3.7 assists per game, shooting 60% from the field and 47.4% from three-point range, making it the most important piece of the puzzle on the road to the 76ers.
OG-Anunoby (2017 No. 23)
As a player based on Leonard as a model, Anunoby has actually made a name for himself in the playoffs very early, and in the semifinals with the Cavaliers in 18 years, he won a lot of applause and praise for his excellent defense, but in the next few years, Anunoby not only lost the starter due to injury, but also stagnated in growth, until last season.
In this year's playoffs, Anunoby, who can no longer be called a young player, finally caught up with himself who was pinned high hopes that year, handing over a report card of 24 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.0 assists per game, shooting 57.4% and shooting 47.6% from three-point range, but unfortunately, Anunoby played well and failed to help the Raptors win the game, and they are currently behind the 76ers by a 0:3 score.
5 days, 5 new stars, the NBA's playoffs, worthy of the star-making stage.
