Treat the enemy as ruthlessly as the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves, and treat comrades as warm as spring. This quote from Comrade Lei Feng also applies to the NBA stage. In leagues with superstars, there are always some superstars or role players with extremely tough styles.
Their tough style of play is like a double-edged sword, which will be a huge deterrent to the opponent, and sometimes it will be too large, causing irreparable damage, causing extreme headaches for attacking players, and even avoiding it. But for the team will be a huge improvement, not only for the team to bring more offensive opportunities, but also for the offensive players to be afraid of their hands, laying the foundation for the team to win, but the excessive defensive action, once made them infamous, becoming the league everyone shouted at the street rats.
Today, take stock of the season's notorious six biggest stars.
Sixth place: Big Mac Cousins
Cousins entered the NBA through the draft in 2010. As the king's most potential top interior line, Cousins once became a new era of compound talents with super explosive power and internal strength and extremely compatible outside projection ability, and also became one of the league's few top interior stars.
In the 2017-18 season, Cousins suffered a rupture in the Achilles tendons of the Pelicans, which changed the trajectory of Cousins' career and made the indispensable interior liner a blue-collar star with a sharp decline in athleticism.
In the 2018-19 season, Cousins joined the Warriors and wanted to lie down during the recuperation period to win a championship trophy in the Warriors, but the world has never been unearned, when the Warriors lost Durant and Clay in the Finals, the Warriors have gone, Cousins dreamed of breaking the Golden State, and his lying win plan was not secondary.
The following season, Cousins began a full drifting career, from the Lakers, Rockets, Nuggets, Bucks, Cousins almost half of the team.
Although Cousins, as a low-paid veteran, is still very competitive, and his good outside ability and interior rim protection ability can make him a good blue-collar star, Cousins' fiery temper has become an important factor for all teams to choose to give up Cousins.
Perhaps, as a star, everyone can tolerate Cousins' obedient temper, but now Cousins can only sign a short 10-day contract, naturally there will be no team to accommodate this long-overdue star.
202122 season in the Nuggets, Cousins once had a fiery temper and played with his teammates on the playoff stage, which brought a huge impact to the team and indirectly led to the team being slighted by the Warriors 1-4.
Between Cousins's fiery temper, so far in the offseason, the blue-collar interior tower, which still has residual heat, has no one to pay attention to, and even a short 10-day contract is not willing to give this blue-collar interior line that may destroy the team at any time. Next season, once Cousins still can't find a stable job in the league, the former king will probably end up in disgrace, leaving the stage of decades and starting a new journey.
Fifth place: Locker room cancer Potter
Porter was selected by the Bucks with the 30th pick in the 2019 first round. As a young and promising rising star, Porter's outstanding athletic talent and good scoring ability once became the leader of the younger generation.
As a low-pick draft, Porter has played a shocking game presentation since the Cavaliers period, with the potential to become a star, but compared to the personal ability that has not been completely transformed, Porter's weakness in personality is constantly exposed, from the Knights period Porter once due to the outbreak of locker room conflicts, so that the team can bear to cut love and trade it.
After joining the Rockets, Porter not only failed to restrain, but intensified, in the 2021-22 season, against the Nuggets, at halftime, Porter once led to a character defect, broke out in the locker room, and smashed the assistant coach, and then Porter was like a nobody, regardless of it, driving away from the stadium, Porter's lawless behavior, completely ignoring the game, leaving the team as a waste, completely losing the quality and cultivation of a professional player.
Porter's disregard for such a disregard behavior also once angered the Rockets, and even once put Porter on the trading shelf, but because the incident was short and sensationalized the entire league, naturally no team would resist the wind and choose to leave the thorn star.
Offseason, the Rockets took the lead in sending one of the locker rooms Wood away, to clear the way for the team to rebuild, it is reported that the Rockets have been seeking Porter's trading plan, although Porter is extremely young, but also in line with the Rockets' appeal to young stars, but the locker room cancer personality that may erupt at any time, I am afraid that it will become the biggest hidden danger of the Rockets, leaving Porter, it is like a knife that may fall at any time, deal with Potter as soon as possible, change the Rockets Locker Room is quiet, but also give young people a comfortable environment, will be the Next work of the Rockets. And Porter may start a new wandering journey again, and this is only to blame Porter for himself, no wonder the Rockets and others, but because of The character of Porter's tumor, it is likely to become an important factor for no one, after all, no team dares to take such a huge risk.
Fourth place: Best Sixth Man Harrell
Harrell was selected by the Houston Rockets with the 32nd overall pick in the 2015 second round. As an athleticist with a high arm span, Harrell is extremely explosive, and has a strong basket guard and blocking ability, and once lost to the Clippers and called Hum Hare second general.
In the 2016-17 season, Harrell played in 58 games for the Rockets, averaging 9.1 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game, gradually becoming a blue-collar role player as time went on.
In 2017, Harrell traded to the Clippers, and gradually opened the road to rise, as an inner tower on the bench, Harrell once became the core competitiveness of the Clippers bench, but also became the key core star of the Clippers.
In the 2019-20 season, after the Clippers joined the team, Harrell got a greater chance and won the best sixth man at one point, and also became a legend of the low pick.
In 2020, Harrell joined the Lakers and started a new journey, due to the gathering of Lakers insiders, Harrell's locker room cancer attributes continued to be revealed, once in the Lakers failed to have any use, in the Lakers playoffs first round loss, Harrell was once again traded to the Wizards.
However, due to frequent team changes, the 28-year-old Harrell lost his peak form and has long lost the status of the best sixth man. In the 46 games played for the Wizards, Harrell averaged 14.1 points, 6.7 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game, which was completely far from the peak and better than the decline in Beale's state, harrell's locker room tumor personality was gradually exposed, and he was once at odds with the team.
In the 2021-22 season, before the trade deadline, Harrell was sent to the Hornets, changing the team twice in one season, whether it was psychological or lack of chemistry, harrell completely lost confidence, and even once gave up on himself, completely lost his way. Harrell played for the Hornets in 25 games, averaging 11.4 points, 4.9 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game, and the stats have fallen sharply again, completely without the strength and vitality of the best sixth man.
For the Hornets, it was expected that the best sixth man could hold up the Hornets' bench, enhance the firepower output for the team, and make the Hornets Chenggong break into the playoffs, but the backfired, Harrell's loss and the character of the locker room explosive pack made Jordan miss again, and also completely made the Hornets' deal adrift again, and wasted the Hornets' full talent.
However, due to the madness of winning, the stinging of the dressing room of the loss, the attribute of Harrell's madness has once again become the fuse of the contradiction in the wizards' locker room, and was once completed by the Wizards again, Harrell in just two seasons, successively traded, has become a prisoner.
So far in the offseason, Harrell, whose contract expired, has not received any team's favor, and the best sixth person in the league has not only declined in status after joining the Lakers, but also disliked by various teams due to the cancerous nature of the locker room, and is also afraid of the possibility of unemployment.
Third place: Claude, uncrowned king
Crowder was selected by the Cavaliers with the 34th pick in the second round in 2012. As a tough guy with a low-ranking counterattack, Crowder is also a defensive tip, known for his fierce defense.
In the 2019-20 season, Crowder reached the finals with the Heat as a dark horse, and as a tough guy, Crowder once took on the responsibility of defending the core players of the team, and was known for his trash talk and fierce defense.
However, in the face of the lakers of the two giants, even with Butler and tough guy Crowder, the gap in strength still cannot be bridged. After 6 big games, the Heat surrendered, ending the dark horse season.
In the 2020-21 season, Crowder went to Phoenix, which was still a weak team in the league last season, and after coming to the Suns, Crowder injected new life into the team, especially more to bear the criticism of the dressing room leader, injecting new strength and morale into the team.
The Suns were also led by the double stars, nirvana was reborn, and became the hottest team in the West. In the first round of the playoffs, the Suns are also bloodless, lightly taking the Lakers, and Crowder also indirectly repaid the revenge of losing to the Lakers in the finals last season.
The Suns were followed by a series of events that reached the Finals with unstoppable momentum and set a number of records for the Suns, which also allowed Crowder to complete the feat of reaching the Finals back-to-back.
In the game against the Bucks, Crowder once fought with Tucker, who was also a tough guy, and shouted for the finals. And on the pitch, Claude is also increasingly aggressive, and once almost broke out into conflict.
For Crowder, his toughness once disgusted other team positions, and even thought his garbage and small actions were extremely dirty, but it was indeed part of basketball, but for the team, the need for an extremely tough player like Crowder could not only be the source of motivation for the team's locker room, but also the best defender on the court.
Second place: Beverley the Mad Dog
Beverley was selected by the Lakers with the 42nd overall pick in the 2009 second round. As a blood cloth, Beverly was once famous in the league for his excellent defensive mad dog-like defense, and once suffered from the dissatisfaction and complaints of the defended players because of his extremely large defensive actions and intensity.
In 2013, when Beverly faced Westbrook in the playoffs, he suffered a severe cruciate ligament tear due to extreme defensive extremes, so that Westbrook was always injured and even affected his peak state.
In the 2018-19 season, Beverley was even more crazy about Durant's defense in the playoffs, and it was not too much to say that it was attached to Durant, and the two sides were even more controversial on the court, which once aroused Durant's extreme dissatisfaction. Although Durant expressed his approval of Beverlyade's defense at the end of the season, his overly aggressive defense still aroused the resentment of other players in the league.
In the 2021-22 season, Beverly once broke out of the attribute of a big mouth when facing the Lakers, and the public ridicule of Wei Shao caused Wei Shao's dissatisfaction and reflection.
For the team, Beverley may be the best defender and locker room leader, but the exaggerated defense, as well as the action beyond the scope of the defense, chattering garbage, once caused the dissatisfaction of the defended players.
Offseason, Beverley was traded to the Lakers, and Beverley's grudge with Wei Shao once became the biggest hidden danger in the Lakers locker room, and even Beverley also took the initiative to show goodwill with Wei Shao, which shows that he knew now, why should he be in the beginning, and Beverley can also be said to lift a stone and drop his feet.
First place: Alphabet brother who has suffered a lot of foot turmoil
Alphabet Brother was the 15th pick in the first round of 2013 by the Bucks, as a representative of thick accumulation, Alphabet Brother's career is full of legends.
In 2018 and 19, the two back-to-back MVP made alphabet brother famous, and also made the Greek monster gradually gain a foothold in the league, and was promoted from a substitute to a superstar.
In the 2020-21 season, Alphabet Brother led the Bucks all the way through the level, successively killed the Heat, Nets, Eagles, met with the Sun on the Finals stage, lost two games first, completed a stunning reversal, defeated the Suns 4-2, led the team to regain the championship after 50 years, Alphabet Brother also won the FMVP, becoming the third person in the active league after James and Durant, once again having a regular season MVP + FMVP, so that the historical status of Alphabet Brother also climbed again, and was promoted to the ranks of top superstars.
As a top superstar, the ability of the alphabet brother is beyond reproach, especially in the super dominance of the inner line, so that the alphabet brother can take what he wants on the inside line, and the deterrent is full.
However, last season's semi-finals for Irving's stepping stone incident has become a lingering shadow of Alphabet Brother's career, as a superstar, such doubts will also have an impact on Alphabet Brother's future historical status.
After all, except for Brother Alphabet, no one can know the turbulence in his heart at that time, but his foot landed in the place where Owen fell, leaving Owen with nowhere to hide, and it was precisely because of Owen's injury that the Bucks had the opportunity to fight back and finally have the opportunity to defeat the Nets.
In the new season, the Bucks injured Jones successively because of excessive defensive moves, and at the end of the season, Middleton's extremely ferocious defensive actions caused huge damage to nets young brown, and Middleton was also expelled.
This season, the Bucks have constantly committed malicious fouls, once again making the alphabet brother maliciously foul last season surface, even if the alphabet brother how to defend, this is the case, his stepping feet, but also made the bucks become the biggest beneficiary.
It can be said that this time the alphabet brother laid the cornerstone of the championship for the bucks, and the biggest beneficiaries of all this are the bucks and the alphabet brother. Although it has been a season, once the stepping stone incident occurs again, the alphabet brother will carry the pot again, which is afraid that the alphabet brother will carry the entire career, or longer, which will also be the price of his championship.
