NBA playoffs have begun for a while, as the saying goes, the playoffs are the stage of the stars, some stars want to play the bottom of the league status, then the playoffs are undoubtedly the best touchstone, in the playoffs the intensity of the confrontation is greater, more targeted, many players can not stand, such as most of the blue-collar players, why the playoffs are the stage of the superstar is so, to a certain extent in the two-side series is the star to play one, the tactical two sides are thorough, is to see whose star strength is more sufficient.
In the past few years, alphabet brother, Leonard has proved their strength, as far as this season is concerned, Tatum and Embiid are very promising to prove themselves, of course, there are playing the price of the inevitable also have no value, today we will take a look at the five pseudo-stars in the league who have no value, Lavine is really in vain, the Jazz double core is completely the new version of the garbage brothers, the playoffs are too crotch!
Downs is soft when it is strong
To say that the most disappointing players in the playoffs so far, Towns must be the first, the playoffs and playoffs play a total of 4 games, Towns played a good game, want to win the game but also rely on the second year Edwards to win the ball, one is 15 years in the league for 7 years, one is 20 years in the league for 2 years, so it seems that the star temperament is indeed too important for a talented player.
Downs this player's talent looks at the NBA's historical centers are all front-line presence, with excellent body shape, pitcher-level feel, it is not too much to say that he is the best center in history of projection ability, but Towns does not learn no skills, to now 7 years of career or will not defend, all kinds of brainless fouls, playoffs 6 fouls, playoffs in less than 33 minutes to win 5 fouls, the team has less than a core and opponent to play, how to win?
And in the playoff intensity of the defense, Towns' offense is also very inefficient, the playoffs so far averaged 17.3 points, 9.7 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 2.7 blocks, shooting 62.1%, from the efficiency can see how good his talent is, but can not play for a long time also makes teammates speechless, he is not the team's winning helper, but the key to the opponent's win.
At first, Butler forced the palace to leave the team because Downs did not work hard enough, and then in the game between the Timberwolves and the Heat, Butler sprayed Downs softer than the poop pulled by the child, from here it is not difficult to hear how much Butler looks down on this champion, the first pseudostar in the playoffs so far, Downs has no doubt.
Gobert, top gate into a defensive hole
Before last season, few teams were willing to let their core hard steel Gobert, after all, he was the best defensive player in three years, and the name alone was suppressed, but Tyrenlu may have found inspiration from Paul's military training Gobert, the inside line with anti-aircraft guns to open up space, the tower was responsible for blocking the removal of the outer bomb, let the outside player single Gobert, use the speed advantage to punish the best defensive player, and the Jazz were eliminated by the Clippers.
The original Clippers had George, and the loss can be understood, but so far in the playoffs this season, facing the lone ranger without Doncic, the jazz are now 1-2 behind, Brunson faces Gobert and plays Jokic, last season Reggie Jackson played a great performance against Gobert, so he won a big contract in the offseason, and now Brunson is expected to win a big contract in the offseason, Gobert is really "righteous".
In the regular season, everyone played without too strong discipline, plus some teams prefer three-point wave shooting, which also made Gobert's internal line with a top protective frame skyrocket, but now it is different, in the playoffs most teams will play small lineups, Gobert's slow movement speed will appear, a traditional center, and even a traditional center without the ability to hold the ball offensive ability to get 200 million salaries, jazz is really "stupid money".
After two years of playoffs, Gobert has undoubtedly become a garbage contract, although his defense can ensure that the Jazz reach the playoffs, but it is only that, in the playoffs they are not far away, jazz now want to throw gobert is estimated to be difficult, unless it is the Lakers who want to inside the team, the key is that the Lakers trade will send West less, jazz will not want it?
Mitchell, with the sex of a star, without the life of a star
In the past few years, the 13th pick player has been blown up, Kobe Bryant's first round 13 pick is because he is a high school graduate, too young, so he was selected in the 13th pick, otherwise with his talent into the top five of the draft is no problem, Mitchell This 13 show, it can be said that the only inheritance is Kobe's star temperament, but he has the temperament of a star, but there is no star strength, inefficiency, unreasonable has always been synonymous with him.
The third game of the Lone Rangers and jazz, in the fourth quarter, the Jazz once chased only 4 points, if they fell into the position, fed Gobert two balls, they were likely to be able to equalize, the result of Mitchell rushed over the whole field, facing two defensive players to pull out three-point iron, teammates have not landed, wasted the ball, friends who often watch Jazz games know that Mitchell has always been this way of playing, playing well and being blown, playing badly and being scolded.
So far in the playoffs, he has averaged 32.7 points, 3.3 rebounds and 5.7 assists per game, the data alone is really good, but the shooting rate is only 41.3%, the three-point shooting rate is 25%, very inefficient, the playoffs so far in the key moments, the average score of 2 points per game is not bad, but the overall shooting rate is only 16.7%, this is not like a star, more like a player who digests the team's ball, too pit teammates.
And in yesterday's game, Mitchell reprimanded House during the suspension, and a substitute still had to carry the pot? Previously, it was also rumored that he and Gobert had a contradiction, in the game, Gobert had the opportunity to play big and small, Mitchell did not pass the ball, jazz really found two good cores, for them, reconstruction may be the right way, around Gobert and Mitchell to build a team, jazz have no future.
Zaklavin, the clasper of his watch
Another 13th pick player, LaVine with excellent bounces and flowing dunks, just entered the league to capture a large number of fans, but because of the subsequent major injury he was abandoned by the Timberwolves to the Bulls, the Bulls also value this talented young player, after all, he averaged 19 points per game in the last season of the Timberwolves, the third year of his career really has great potential, and after coming to the Bulls, he also played an All-Star performance.
For this reason, the Bulls also thought about renewing Lavine in advance last summer, but Lavin's goal is very clear, he told the team: "Let me renew the contract, but the team must play the playoffs next year", upon hearing this, the Bulls management also acted immediately, co-opted DeRozan and the ball brother, and also won the top blue collar such as Caruso, and the result was playing this season, because Lavin was not good enough at the key moment, and the position of the team boss let DeRozan grab it.
This is not the most humiliating, in the playoffs facing the Bucks' high-pressure defense, LaVine's performance is even more crotch, the playoffs so far averaged 17.7 points, 5.3 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1 steal, shooting only 42.2%, three-point shooting rate of 39%, which is like an All-Star performance, not as good as some blue-collar performance, such as Maxi, Poole.
This season is Lavin's fifth season with the Bulls, he has not led the team to the playoffs in the past four years, but this season to playoffs is DeRozan to lead the team, although DeRozan is not good, but at least it is more reliable than Lavin, in addition, Vucevic is a pseudostar? Count, 19 years against Gasol Jr. is the original form, because this season has not been selected as an All-Star, so we will not say more about him.
VanVleet, with limited talent, deserves praise
This season, Van Jordan with excellent performance, the first time in his career was selected as an All-Star, as a lost draft, and finally played to the current height, Van Jordan is also commendable, but after the arrival of the playoffs, his performance is indeed unsatisfactory, the playoffs so far averaged 16.7 points, 3.3 rebounds and 7.3 assists per game, shooting only 35.4%, three-point shooting rate of 33.3%, which is not as efficient as LaVine's performance!
Although On the defensive end, Van Jordan worked hard enough, averaging 2.3 steals and 1.3 blocks per game, but the offensive end did not have any effect and made the manager depressed, and now the Raptors score also need blue-collar workers such as Anunoby and Achuva to help the team, in fact, from here we can see the shortcomings of Van Jordan, after all, it is a lost draft, his talent and potential are very limited, it is good to reach the current height, and it is really not useful when it is targeted in the playoffs.
Not tall enough, not fast, in addition to having a big heart, Van Jordan's other talents are too poor, he can have today's height thanks to The cultivation of Nas, the two played together in the development league, if the raptors coach is still Casey, it is estimated that Van Jordan will be the sixth person on the team.
In addition, Sika's performance in the playoffs this season is not good, his basic skills are too poor, the outside line is unstable, it looks like a blind fight, the defensive attitude is not to say, but the talent is too poor, Sika is also a pseudo-star, but like Vucevic, considering that this season has not entered the All-Star, so it is also a brush stroke.
