The 2021-22 season has come to a successful conclusion, which can be described as a few joys and a few sorrows. In the long season, the performance of superstars will also be affected by injuries and other objective factors, and fluctuations are inevitable.
With the end of the pre-season, the new season is also coming, this pre-season known as the touchstone, not only can test the bull knife, so that the player's sluggish body back to the peak, but also can test the results of the offseason of each team and the competitive state of the stars. So that the superstar not only in the physical and mental, before the start of the new season have a huge improvement, but also for the next season to lay a solid foundation for the glory of next season.
Today, take stock of the six biggest stars who are expected to be unstoppable in the new season.
6th place: Butler, the strongest migrant worker
Butler was selected by the Bulls with the 30th overall pick in the first round in 2011. As one of the few superstars with the ability to play hard battles, Butler has traveled to multiple teams and found a home for the Heat, and also achieved the highest moment of his career.
The 2021-22 season, for Butler is undoubtedly a season of ups and downs, from the beginning of the season, Butler was plagued by injuries, suffered huge doubts from public opinion, and then to the middle of the season affected by injuries, the rapid decline of the state, once labeled as a glass physique, at the end of the season, Butler was more with the manager and veteran Haslem broke out of the locker room contradictions, making the Heat wind and rain, once looked down, and even the trade storm is also one after another.
After the playoffs began, Butler bottomed out and stunned everyone with his absolute leadership. Once again, the ability to fight a tough battle is jaw-dropping.
With Lowry's injury-plagued state declining, Hiro's poor mental quality and injury troubles, and losing the demeanor of the best sixth man, Butler single-handedly carried the fragmented team all the way to the shoulders and once again advanced to the division finals.
As the regular season only cut 21.4 points, 5.9 rebounds and 5.5 assists, the mediocre data of Butler, the playoffs can be described as a great change, throughout the playoffs, Butler averaged 27.4 points, 7.4 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game, from a star to a superstar, and the ability to play hard battles was once again shown vividly.
As a leader, Butler does not have the absolute talent of Durant, nor as deterrent as Curry outside the three-point line, but as a tough guy, Butler can be described as both offensive and defensive, tough style, offseason Heat has been recruiting, for Butler to reduce the pressure, next season I believe that under the escort of stars such as Hiro and Adebayor, no one will doubt Butler's strength, even if the regular season is not alarming, it will not affect the performance of this tough guy in the playoffs, Butler will inevitably continue to complete the transformation next season. Become the alliance offensive and defensive integration, the most unstoppable big killer.
Fifth place: Bench Bandit Poole
Poole was selected by the Warriors with the 28th pick in the first round of 2019. As a young player, Poole is extremely impactful, and the projection ability is extremely strong, with the ability to take the first rank of the general in the army, but the stability after the confrontation is poor, there are still deficiencies and weaknesses on the defensive end, and he is an extreme offensive player.
In the 2021-22 season, Poole, as the core player of the Warriors' death five smalls, once became the absolute champion puzzle of the Warriors winning the championship again after four years. During the regular season, Poole provided a huge deterrent and combat power to the team whether as a starter or a substitute.
During the playoffs, Poole was also extremely good, in the first playoff trip of his career, Poole did not expose too many young people's unstable characteristics, but in the first round of the playoffs, once undertook a huge offensive pressure, saving Curry a lot of physical exertion, laying a solid foundation for winning the championship. During the finals, although Poole's instability after the confrontation was slightly exposed, Poole could adjust through his strong projection ability, and use the long-range range to preemptively attack before the defenders had fallen into position, and became one of the absolute heroes of the team's repeated cup in four years.
In the offseason, the Warriors because Wiggins, Green are facing a big contract crisis of renewal, once did not give the peak state of Poole a maximum salary contract, as the new season approaches, the Heat and Hiro signed a 4-year 120 million top salary contract, once became the fuse of Green's boxing incident, and with the continuous fermentation of the Green boxing Poole incident, this young man who played the peak state to help the team win the championship and suffered grievances, also after the event continued to escalate, no Ji Tai Lai, it is reported that The Warriors have reached an early renewal agreement with Poole, and the Warriors have recently officially announced the news of signing with Poole, for Poole, despite suffering a punch from Green, he not only got the support of the team's boss Curry, but also got the 4-year, 143 million maximum salary contract offered by the team, Poole can be described as happy from the sky, harvesting a lot.
Not only that, the happy Poole's performance in the preseason is also extremely outstanding, in the face of the Lakers, after suffering from the boxing storm, the young man still cut the team's all-time high 25 points, once again showed the potential and talent of the future life, in other words, after the new season of fame and fortune, Pool, exploded the whole field, and even promoted to an All-Star player will become a matter of the day.
4th place: Singles king Irving
Irving was selected by the Cavaliers with the 1st pick in the first round in 2011. As a genius on the offensive end, Irving can not only eat offense, no ball or the ability to finish under the basket, can be described as eighteen martial arts proficient, Irving can be called the encyclopedia of the offensive end.
In the 2021-22 season, due to Irving's successive strange personalities, the team's locker room contradictions have been intensified, which has also caused the Nets Big Three to collapse, and the Nets have also entered the altar from the championship-winning big favorite team to become an inconspicuous playoff team among all sentient beings.
In the offseason, due to Irving's character flaws, it once caused Durant's dissatisfaction, although Death did not point the finger at Irving, but through the attitude of double giants, it is self-evident.
After the Nets retained Durant, Simmons returned, Irving chose to stay, and the Nets' new Big Three set sail again, which will also be the final redemption for Irving.
During the 2022-23 preseason, Irving changed his course, playing in three of the Nets' four preseason games, and also helping the team to two consecutive wins. In the game against the Timberwolves, Irving lightly cut down the overall stats of 26 points, 1 rebound and 4 assists in 31 minutes of playing time, once again showing the talent of a super scorer and a strong personal ability.
In the new season, I believe that Irving under contract will relent, after all, no one and money can not pass, once Irving can take heart, I believe that this omnipotent offensive genius on the pitch will bring great trouble to the defensive players, and the epic performance that shocks the four seats will be just around the corner.
Third place: Once-in-a-century wizard Zion
Zion was selected by the Pelicans with the 1st pick in the first round of 2019. As a geek teenager with perverted physical talent, Zion is also another wizard teenager who weighs 125 kilograms after James, but has extremely flexible dribbling, changing directions, and ending under the basket. And compared to James in 203cm, Zion in 198CM is 5 centimeters shorter than James, but the weight is very similar to James's entry into the league, dragging such a thick body, you can still complete the technical actions that can be completed by thin guards on the court, and even have no sense of violation, which shows the perversion of Zion's physical talent.
In the 2020-21 season, Zion suffered from injuries again at the end of the season and was suspended for an entire season due to injuries, although, during the off-season, Zion's body was once hailed as the end of the world as the son of the chosen one, but with the summer of 2022, Zion returned to people's vision with a very muscular body, all concerns will be swept away, and in the offseason, the Pelicans are also signing a contract with this once-in-a-century wizard to sign a contract with Morante, Garland's same 5-year, 193 million max salary contract, once the Ross clause is triggered, will be expected to reach a large contract of 230 million.
In the 2022-23 pre-season, Zion ushered in the debut of the new season, in the game against the Bulls, Zion played 15 minutes, lightly won 13 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist, not only comprehensive data, but also extremely efficient, once again heralding the return of this talented teenager. In the game against the Pistons, Zion also did not hesitate to let go, in 20 minutes of playing time, 5/10, efficiently cut 13 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist, two consecutive games to test the waters, but also let Zion's body gradually return to the intensity of the game.
It is believed that after the start of the new season, the chosen son of the chosen one, who has been suspended for a season, will continue to shock the league in a very terrifying way, open the era belonging to this beast, and lead the Pelicans to start a new journey and forge ahead for the road to the championship.
Second place: Young Hollywood LaVine
LaVine was selected by the Timberwolves with the 13th pick in the first round in 2014. As the dunk king with amazing bounce and air stasis, LaVine's physical talent and athletic ability are outstanding, as a two-time dunk king, it also perfectly interprets Lavin's bounce ability at the level of expression, and once made LaVine become another top defender with great physical talent after Jordan.
In the 2021-22 season, despite DeRozan's parachuting, which had a slight impact on Lavin's team status, LaVine was still successfully selected for the All-Star team with his outstanding performance, compared to DeRozan, LaVine was more physically qualified, and had a very deterrent outside projection ability, and was a top scorer with both impact and projection ability.
In the offseason, the Bulls signed a 5-year, 215 million contract with LaVine after weighing the pros and cons, which also heralded the hope that LaVine would once again become the Bulls, after all, DeRozan was close to his twilight years, and DeRozan's weak performance in the playoffs once again made the Bulls lose patience, so in time, LaVine will still be the helmsman of Chicago.
2022-23 season pre-season, the Bulls 3 wins and 1 loss, and Lavin also played 3 games for the team, LaVine in the limited playing time, still play extremely efficient and the data is still comprehensive, although it is only a pre-season, but LaVine's physical condition is good, I believe that after the pre-season test, the new season, especially after DeRozan was plagued by trades, Lavin is likely to continue to erupt, and even regain the position of the Bulls boss, leading the Bulls to continue last season's dark horse momentum and continue to forge ahead.
1st place: Cold-blooded assassin Ku Ritian
Curry was drafted by the Warriors with the 7th pick in the first round in 2009. As the absolute hero of the Warriors' 8 years and 4 championships, Curry's importance to the Warriors is comparable to the value of Kobe Bryant to the Lakers.
As a historical sharpshooter, Curry's achievement in three-pointers is a rare in history. In the 2014-15 season, Curry set a record of 402 three-pointers that season.
And as a defender, in addition to Curry's super outside deterrent, master-level organizational ability and breakthrough scoring and offensive ability, are also historical-level performances.
As a three-threat superstar who can shoot, burst and pass, the deterrent power Curry brings to defensive players will be an epic existence. Last season's playoffs, the Lakers and Grizzlies defenders not only began to defend Curry in the middle line, but even within Curry's range, the other side did not hesitate to give up the Warriors' other offensive players and mobilize 2-3 people to surround Curry, which shows that Curry has caused a huge deterrent to opponents on the offensive end.
Even so, whenever there is a gap, Curry can still pick up the knife and fall, making the defender sigh, there is no way! As the best point guard in the game, Curry has the explosive power of a scorer, a masterful vision, and the accuracy of a capstone three-point shooter, making Curry the most deterrent point guard in the active service and an offensive killer that defenders fear.
As last season's FMVP, Curry's historical status has once again been greatly improved after winning the first honor of his career, although Curry is 34 years old, but as a top scorer, Curry has no influence, last season's scoring king, enough to witness Curry's legend.
After the adjustment of the offseason, Curry will inevitably continue to stage the return of the king, the preseason Warriors 3 wins and 2 losses, and Curry's performance is still a phenomenon-level level, in the face of the Lakers' game, Curry in the case of no sweat, he took 24 points, once again witnessed the greatness of Curry, I believe that next season, this cold-blooded killer will inevitably continue to kill all four sides, in an incredible way to surprise everyone, once again open a new rise of the road.
