In the first round of the playoffs, the green army was fierce, and the result was that the first round of the second round faced the bucks that lacked Middleton, and the result was that the alphabet brother led the team to teach them a harsh lesson, the green army this team relies too much on singles, and the bucks have a top guard frame, to participate in the two core browns and Horford who are good at attacking the inside line are thus limited, and then it is up to Uduka to make decent adjustments, otherwise it is difficult for them to cross the bucks.
Even if the second round falls at the feet of the defending champions, the Green Army has been very successful this season, they have found the right system, and most of the main players are still young, and with the growth of experience and tacit understanding in the future, they are bound to rush to the championship. However, there are few teams in the league that can have a future worth looking forward to as the Green Army and the Double Scouts, and today we will take stock of the five pairs that parted ways in the offseason or because of the lack of records or because of the contradictions in the dressing room.
Zhan Meiwei has no reason
To say that the most disappointing team this season, then the Lakers must be ranked first, the offseason Lakers luxury group Zhan Meiwei lineup, this season James salary of 44.18 million, Westbrook 44.21 million, thick eyebrow brother 35.36 million, because of the three-person top salary contract, the Lakers this season to pay luxury tax as high as 45.01 million, ranked fifth in the league, in front of them are the Warriors 170.3 million, the Nets 97.69 million, the Clippers 83.46 million, bucks 58.36 million.
This season's luxury tax line is 136.6 million, and the Lakers' big three total up to 123.75 million, in the remaining salary, the Lakers with a bunch of basic salary to put together the role player lineup, the biggest reason for the Lakers' loss this season is this, their role player talent is too limited, compared to the previous Pop, Kuzma is far from the difference, blue-collar is not competitive, which led to this season James with crazy brush points to support the team.
James has not been a player obsessed with data, but because the team really has no one to score, he can only brush, a 37-year-old player, averaging 30.3 points per game in 37 minutes per game, when everyone marvels that his state is still at its peak, behind such data is his helplessness. At the beginning, the Lakers won Westbrook in order to reduce the offensive pressure on James, and as a result, Jianway did not have excellent no-ball ability on the offensive end, and also needed interior space, resulting in no chemistry, and the team struggled.
In fact, Westbrook's form is still at its peak this season, but because the team needs someone to make sacrifices, plus he is a latecomer, the result is that Westbrook did not play as it should be, averaging 18.5 points, 7.4 rebounds and 7.1 assists per game throughout the season, shooting 44% from the field, his overall shooting rate is higher than when he played for the Wizards last season, and last season Westbrook led the Wizards into the playoffs.
If the thick eyebrow brother is not plagued by injury all the time, but played most of the games throughout the season, maybe the Lakers will be able to play into the playoffs, but there will be no impact on the final result, they simply do not have the ability to win the championship, the offseason Wei Shao's departure from the team is inevitable, even if the Lakers do not trade him, he will force the palace to leave the team, the three people agree to form the big three, but the result is not to reach the desired height, parting ways is inevitable.
Simmons trades zero for whole
If you have Harden, this year's playoffs first round of the Nets will most likely not lose to the Green Army, or will not lose so badly, although the current Harden does not have the ability to average 30+ per game when there are all kinds of unsolvable singles, but his control and overall view can make the team have qualitative changes, and the most terrifying thing is that Harden can make the role players upgrade a level, the Rockets period of Ka Huang, the Nets period harris and the 76ers now Maxi.
When the Nets had Harden, this is the player who guaranteed their lower limit, Irving and Durant did not have fantastic leadership ability, which has been proven over the past many years, they are more like top scorers, can not coordinate the whole army, the perfect switch between attack and pass, Durant averaged 6.3 assists per game in the playoffs but as high as 5.3 times, I don't know if friends watching the Nets playoffs have this feeling - I want Durant to single rather than let him pass.
The problems of the Nets and the Lakers are very similar, because the big three, their role player lineup is also very crotch, in the Harden trade, I thought they would take some good blue-collar workers to make up for the team's deficiencies, such as Danny Green, Sable, the result is curry god, both are defensive loopholes, although the deal got Simmons, but the blood loss, and Simmons is not a championship-fighting player at all.
Series G4 has been rumored that Simmons will come back, the result of the final Simmons because of back pain refused to play, but also there are media rumors that Simmons because of playing a night of game caused by waist pain, such professionalism makes people dare not compliment, as meiming said: "Simmons is the only player in the league who is more headache than Irving", Simmons did not shoot far, the team left him no future, plus his professional attitude is not good, it is estimated that the nets will move knives to him in the offseason, and it is a wise choice to win some good blue-collar workers in the offseason.
Dons Russell Soft Egg Brothers
Who is the best player in the 15th Draft so far? This player is not in the top ten picks, but the thirteenth pick of Devon Booker, the top three of this year's draft, Downs template Divac, Russell template Roy, Okafor template Duncan, in the first league is also highly anticipated, the result is only water does not meet the small ball era of Okafor, Towns and Russell also entered the All-Star, but they did not reach the heights expected by everyone.
Towns has been crowned the title of brush before this season, and Russell, although selected as an All-Star, is not attributed to the star list, it can be said that the two have always been questioned, this season with the growth of Edwards and the energy brought by Beverly, they reached the playoffs, the result is also seen, Although Towns occasionally has a dominant performance, but all kinds of bizarre mistakes and a lot of fouls make people look depressed.
In the playoffs, Towns averaged 4.5 turnovers per game for fifth in the league and second in the league with 4.2 fouls per game. Russell is not much better, the same is the top spot, he can be said to be exploded when facing Morant, the offensive end is Morant's cash machine, the defensive end facing Morant's athleticism is also very helpless Russell, the entire playoff Russell averaged 12 points, 2.5 rebounds, 6.7 assists and 1.5 steals per game, shooting 33.3%, which is like a two-time data? And also with a big contract of 30.01 million.
In the playoffs, the 15th yuan list but let the 20th champion take them to win, let who looks at it also feel awkward, too no star temperament, in fact, Towns is fine, after all, his strength is here, the talent is also top,And russell is the top of the list, and Russell is the list but the talent is too limited, after this season into the playoffs, the Timberwolves have the impulse to look forward to a higher stage, it is estimated that Towns' brother basketball may not be able to play, and recently there are US media rumors that Russell may be traded in the offseason.
Gobert Mitchell Wolong Phoenix Chick
Jazz was eliminated in the first round of this year's playoffs, with the regular season dragon, playoff worm to describe the Jazz is the most appropriate, just look at the team's lineup framework, jazz bench depth, blue-collar configuration are the league's top level, Conley, Bojan have close to the level of all-Stars, bench and Clarkson and Guy such a good hand, but the team core is too weak, in the fifth year of Mitchell and Gobert cooperation, they have reached the playoffs, but only this, the team did not even cross the second round once!
This season they still lost to Doncic, who is younger than Mitchell. Such a problem arises because Mitchell and Gobert do not match at all, and the two have their own problems, the two of them do not match specifically reflected in the previous media rumors that the two have contradictions, even if there is no contradiction, in the game Gobert blocked the demolition of the ball did not get Mitchell's feeding, and Gobert can not block the removal of the external bomb, close and also locked the possibility of Mitchell's inside line to kill, which is also a reason why Mitchell's offensive end is inefficient.
In the playoffs, Mitchell can average 25.5 points per game, but the shooting rate is only 39.8%, and one reason for his low efficiency is that the offensive choice is extremely unreasonable, the offensive head is hot and does not play blindly according to the system, Gobert has a pie inside line to rely on defense to enter the All-Star, the offensive end has little effect, and in the playoffs, the opponent's five small can also target the best defensive player, and various point lists hit him.
The team has not made any progress for 5 consecutive years, and they are still holding the sixth luxury tax in the 18.35 million league, and it is estimated that the Jazz have no patience, and these two cores are simply Crouching Dragon Phoenix! According to the Jazz reporter, the Jazz are committed to building a team around Mitchell, and at the same time, there are many teams that are interested in Mitchell, according to the current momentum, the Jazz will change in the offseason anyway.
The Booker Ayton team was hard to break
Since last season's baptism of the Finals, the Suns' young players have grown at a rate that is visible to the naked eye, like Booker, Bridges and Ayton, they have played more confidently than before, and their control of the game situation and tactical execution are better than before, this season Booker has played the league's top ten level, averaging 26.8 points, 5 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 1.1 steals in the regular season, and during Paul's absence, Booker played an average of 20+10 assists.
Bridges has grown to the league's top gate level this season, arguably one of the best 3D players on the job, averaging 17.3 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.5 blocks per game in the playoffs, shooting 55% from the field and 53% from three-point range. But because paul and Booker's maximum salary plus Bridges' quasi-maximum salary contract, it also makes the Suns have no money to renew Ayton.
The Suns aren't as rich as the Warriors, and in the team's market capitalization list released by Forbes last October, they only ranked 18th in the league, with $1.8 billion. The Suns bosses are reluctant to take on the hefty luxury tax, which is why they didn't renew Ayton early last season.
Last year,Eiton averaged 15.8 points, 11.8 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 1.1 blocks, 0.8 steals per game in the playoffs, shooting 66 percent from the field.
So far in the playoffs this season, he has averaged 21.1 points, 9.6 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 0.6 steals, 1.1 blocks, and shot 68% from the field.
The reason given by the Suns management last season is that Ayton does not have the ability to pay a maximum salary, and now Ayton's strength has been further improved, if the maximum salary is not given, there is a high probability that Ayton will leave, the team will be difficult to violate, Booker and Ayton have a future worth looking forward to, they may become a new generation of OK combinations, but the boss is too picky may lead to the thunder three less ending staged in the Sun.
