The NBA playoffs are in full swing, in the past period of time, it can be said that many teams have not played the performance that everyone expects, is considered to be the favorite net to win the championship, now 0:3 behind the Celtics, if it is not good, it will be swept, the regular season fierce Morant, now caught by the opponent seven inches, compared to the performance of the regular season is also a world of difference, today we will take a look at the playoffs so far to play a surprising six stars.
Durant, Irving Trash Brothers?
"I've always thought I'm the best player for the team to perform the final offense, and next season I can give him that damn round" This is Irving previously praised Durant in the offseason, although the two had strength before joining the Nets, but the doubts have been not small, Durant's previous second person in the league, because he has been without a championship after joining the Warriors to win two championships, it is a goal, but it is said by many doubters to be a shooting enemy.
Owen won the championship next to James, because of the key three points in 16 years, his key ball ability is also well known, but Irving does not want to be a little brother to others, has always wanted to be the boss, so he forced the palace team to come to the Celtics, in the Green Army team also gave him the boss, but because of the inability to bring out the record to make the double detective flower dissatisfied, watching the two little brothers do not listen to themselves, Irving left again, and at this time Irving's leadership ability began to be questioned.
That is, the 19-year offseason two people who have been questioned came together and wanted to prove it for themselves, but because of Durant's injury, the first season Irving single-core led the team, even so Irving is still not idle, forcing the team to lay off coach Atkinson, the next year Durant returns, the team also traded Harden, but because of injuries they lost to the Bucks, time came to this season, the epidemic spread, the league asked players to be vaccinated, but Irving refused to inject, Harden could not bear it and forced the palace to leave the Nets.
In the playoffs, the Nets finally ushered in a healthy Irving and Durant, originally thought they could show their skills, but Irving was a demon, playing Ramadan, because he did not eat he played the game is also no physical fitness, Durant in the face of opponents to pinch the trouble is also very tired, before the start of the series before the Nets were unanimously optimistic, the result is that until now, the Green Army is still one game away from being able to sweep the Nets.
Durant's career so far in the playoffs averaged 29.5 points, 7.8 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal, 1.2 blocks, shooting 47.7%, three-point shooting rate of 35.6%, averaging the third highest score per game, but also because of the performance of no solution, he is called the God of Death, but so far in the playoffs this season, he has averaged only 22 points, 5.3 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 1 steal, shooting only 36.5%, and the sickle is gone. Irving averaged 23.6 points, 3.6 rebounds and 4.8 assists per game in the playoffs, shooting 46 percent from the field and 40 percent from three-point range, and averaged 21.7 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 5.3 assists in the playoffs this season, shooting 44 percent from the field and 33 percent from three-point range, making him far less efficient than before.
The two top singles players in the active duty, the result is now playing like the garbage brothers, it is not suitable to break up, Durant's peak is not a few years, can not let Irving squander like this, his energy is not focused on basketball. Because the two are teammates, we put them together.
Mitchell Iron Hand Lone Wolf
A rookie season cut a player who averaged 20.5 points, 3.7 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game, how high do you say his ceiling is? Although Mitchell did not win the best rookie in the rookie season (Simmons won), but Mitchell let everyone know who the new owner of Salt Lake City is with his outstanding performance, mitchell has led the team to the playoffs so far, this season is only the fifth year of his career, and has been selected as an All-Star 3 times, it looks like his future is worth looking forward to.
But this player through the observation of recent years, if he does not change the way he plays, his ceiling seems to be so high, at most is still an All-Star level player, want to become a top star or superstar is not that capable. Mitchell has a star temperament, the key moment is really dare to play, but it is also really unreasonable, often hot-headed, not waiting for teammates to fall is a strong shot of three points, but his high score is from the beginning of the rookie season because of his high number of shots.
He averaged 20.5 points per game and 17.2 shots per game in his rookie season. At that time, Mitchell assumed the role of digesting the ball, and the team was able to reach the playoffs mainly by Gobert. The team saw that Mitchell had a star temperament so it focused on cultivating him, and as a result, Mitchell is still more like a player who digests the ball.
So far in the playoffs this season, Mitchell has averaged 30.1 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists per game, averaging the league's first point per game, this data alone is really good, but the overall shooting rate is only 39.6%, the three-point shooting rate is 23.5%, the average shot is 25.3 shots per game, his shot rights are given to Conley, Conley may play better than him, and Mitchell is very unique, almost no passing, which also affects the team's system, iron lone wolf, Jazz let him be the boss has no future!
Lavin is flashy and unrealistic
Zaklavin became famous for his dunks, and suffered a major injury during the Timberwolves period, and then in the Bulls Nirvana rebirth has given him a lot of attention, so he was also selected for the All-Star team twice, but Lavin has never proved his ability to lead the team, this season with the help of DeRozan finally entered the playoffs, I thought that Lavine, who has cut more than 25 points in the regular season in the past two years, can show his fists, and the result is called a pull.
Offensive end does not dare to shoot, passing is also often a mistake, he correctly interpreted what is a playoff rookie, this season's regular season averaged 24.4 points, 4.6 rebounds and 4.5 assists, in the playoffs averaged only 17.7 points, 5.3 rebounds and 3.7 assists, the shooting percentage also dropped from 47% to 42.2%, averaging 3.7 assists per game but there were 3 turnovers, the assist-error ratio was close to 1:1, and his passing was simply a cash machine for the opponent to counterattack.
LaVine is 27 years old, the same embiid has played MVP level performance, Smart, Jokic also proved himself, LaVine may be one of the best sports talents among these players, but there is no star temperament, I think the Bulls should change another boss with Lavin, or let Lavin directly do the second boss, DeRozan can't take him, Azan is not stable, but fortunately, his personal ability is still stronger than Lavine.
Morant didn't have a long-range shot
In the third year of his career, he led the team to the second position in the regular season league, such a super point guard can be compared with those outstanding point guards in history, such as Magic Johnson, Derrick Rose, etc., Morant's performance in the first three years of his career is indeed worth looking forward to, at the age of 22, he led the team to play such a record, the last one to do it is the youngest MVP Rose, he has Rose's athletic ability and organizational ability, but there is no Rose's calmness.
Last year's playoffs averaged 30.2 points, 4.8 rebounds and 8.2 assists, shooting 48% from the field and 32% from three-point range, he was able to play such a performance because he bullied Gobert's slow speed, and the Jazz at the time did not take the Grizzlies seriously, facing the Timberwolves this season, the opponent was not a light opponent, after all, the Timberwolves are also the stunned youth of the playoffs, and as a result, under the target of the Timberwolves, Morant averaged 20.5 points, 7.7 rebounds, 10.8 assists and 1.3 steals in the playoffs this season, shooting only 40% from the field. The three-point shooting rate is 27%.
Last year, his three points were not good, I thought that in the offseason he might train to improve his own three points, the result is now still relying on talent to break through, the Timberwolves are now smart, put heavy soldiers to the inside line, Morant came in and attacked, Morant played quite awkwardly, was caught seven inches, even if the Grizzlies can cross the Wolves level, it is estimated that they can not pass the next round of the team, the boss has a weak rib, how can they go far? Look at the letter brother a few years ago, you should know.
This year is a lesson for Morant, he should recognize his shortcomings and then go to focus on training, his current style of play can not win the championship, not to mention, for physical health is also a great test, originally wanted to pull Downs into this list, but Towns this round of the series played two good goals, helped the seventh Timberwolves 2-2 draw with the Grizzlies, it is also not bad, averaging 21 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists and 2.3 blocks per game, shooting 56% from the field and 42% of three-point shooting.
Trae Young, fame outweighs strength?
Last year, with the crushing of the Knicks and the 76ers to lead the team to the division finals, Trae Young's limelight was unparalleled, last year was the third season of his career, he averaged 28.8 points, 2.8 rebounds and 9.5 assists per game in the playoffs, comparable to the league superstar, when he thought he could lead the team to the sky this season, but the regular season was almost planted, stumbling through the playoffs to the playoffs.
The 76ers and Knicks encountered last year are not a complete team, there are obvious weaknesses, but the Heat is a more mature, better execution of the team, let them against Trae Young, but also let Blow Yang play very awkward, although this round of the series Blow Yang shot a kill, but this can not cover up his overall poor performance, the playoffs so far averaged 19 points, 5.3 rebounds, 6.3 assists and 1 steal, shooting only 37%, three-point shooting rate of only 17.4%.
This is like a star playing performance, that is, Trae Young's organizational ability is better, otherwise the Hawks will inevitably lose miserably, Trae Young's talent is here, his athletic ability and body shape are his weaknesses, the future estimate is difficult to reach a height with Doncic, although the template is Curry, but Trae Young's three-point projection ability and body shape are not comparable to Curry.
