Hats off to veterans! Whenever I see veterans over the age of 35, the figure of the charge in the playoffs makes people feel an inexplicable sourness and emotion. Just want to sigh and cherish every moment they are on the field!
Used to be a teammate with Yao Ming! Now the playoffs average 6 points per game, six all-stars, no oil?
He is Yao Ming's most successful teammate, being named an All-Star six times, a championship once, and an Olympic gold medal.
He is Kyle Lowry, who played in four games in the playoffs this season, averaging 6.2 points, 3.8 boards and 4.8 assists per game, shooting 29 percent from the field, 27 percent from three-point range, and averaging 1.2 three-pointers per game.
All the stats are the second lowest in Lowry's playoff career, only better than the Rockets that year. Such a Lowry, really caught off guard, never expected ah, to know that,
In the 2019 playoffs, Lowry averaged 17.7 points, 6.5 boards and 5.8 assists per game, shooting 42% from the field, 32% from three-point range, and averaging 2.1 three-pointers per game.
Looking at Lowry's regular season stats this season, it will make you wonder even more why Lowry is in such bad shape in the playoffs this year.
In the regular season, Lowry averaged 13.3 points, 4.5 boards and 7.5 assists per game, shooting 43.9% from the field, 37% from three-point range, and averaging 2.3 three-pointers per game.
The scoring is not as good as last season at the Raptors, but the shooting rate is basically the same as last season, and the low score is only due to the reduction of shots.
36-year-old Lori, is he really out of oil? Why has the state slipped so much, and are there any other reasons besides injuries?
One, the ball
In this year's playoffs, Lowry's round share is only 13.2%, it should be known that in the 2019 playoffs, Lowry's round share is 21.4%, and this season's regular season, Lowry's round share is 17.8%.
There is no doubt that Lowry in the playoffs has no ball rights. Eight shots were hit in the playoffs, six of which came from teammate assists.
Second, age
The age of 36 is there, what do you want him to do, after all, no one can escape the ravages of time. After all, it can't be an old monster like Paul and James.
Third, power
Lowry, 36, holds a 3-year, 85 million contract, which expires in 2024, and the championship is also there, and Lowry will certainly be inferior to Paul in terms of the motivation to win the championship. Of course, this is not criticizing Lowry, it is human nature. Very normal thing.
Of course, even if Lowry's offense is a bit crotch-pulling, Lowry can still help the Heat from three aspects on the court.
One, defense
With a defensive efficiency of 97.8 in the playoffs, the team's second, the playoffs average defensive opponent shots 11 times per game, facing Lowry's defense, the opponent shot 45%.
Two, assists
He averaged 4.8 assists per game in the playoffs, the second on the team, and averaged just one turnover per game, with an assist-to-turnover ratio of 4.8, the fifth in the league.
Three, positive and negative values
The playoffs had a plus-minus of 10.3, ranking second on the team, and when Lowry was on the court, he did not drag the whole team back.
Even if Lowry does not drag the whole team back, but Lowry wants to help the Heat win the championship this season, it is indeed a little difficult, this has little to do with Lowry, the problem is mainly in Adebayo.
Embiid's comeback made Adebayor appear in its original form, and the first two games that ravaged the 76ers' interior line, Adebayo, facing Embiid, finally knew what the gap was.
What should the Heat do? You can only gamble one, pack Embiid, and bet on the 76ers' outside three-point line.
Fans: What should the Heat do in the face of Embiid the Great? Can Adebayor be counted on as a single defense? Has the balance of victory already tilted in favor of the 76ers? Leave me a message to discuss.
