The ebb and flow of the tide is not only a natural law, but also an immutable law. On the NBA stage, this law is also quietly continuing, in the long series, any player has fluctuations and ups and downs, but some stars can bottom out and return to the top, and some stars will collapse, die down and stagnate.
今天，盘点本赛自暴自弃的五大球星。
Fifth place: Garland in his original form
Garland, in the 2023-24 regular season, averaged 20.7 points, 2.8 rebounds and 5.9 assists per game, shooting 47% from the field, 34.6% from three-point range, and 83.5% from the free throw line.
In the summer of 2022, Garland was valued by the team because of his outstanding performance and got a 5-year 193 million contract, but Saxton was abandoned by the team, and Garland also occupied the position of the team leader with his ability to reverse growth.
In the 2022-23 season, Garland's state can be described as a cliff decline after getting a big contract, with constant outbreaks of injury troubles, and in the comparison with Mitchell, the performance of completely falling into the upper hand made Garland completely dispensable.
In the new season, Garland's performance is still not good enough, and the sluggish performance is not only far from the value of 100 million yuan, but even because of Garland's continued downturn, it also made Mitchell lose faith in the team, and once fell out with the team。
Fourth place: Ayton, the Chosen One
Ayton averaged 12.6 points, 10.7 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game in the 2023-24 regular season, shooting 55.7% from the field, 0% from three-point range, and 82.8% from the free throw line.
As a champion, Ayton's explosive physical talent in high school and his explosive style of play made Ayton a highly competitive chosen one. But after joining the NBA stage, Ayton's performance did not dare to fight, so that he was once criticized, and the soft style of play has also become an important factor in the decline of Ayton's combat effectiveness.
In the offseason, Ayton was abandoned by his old club because of his sluggish performance in the playoffs, and after joining the Trail Blazers, Ayton did not play the game he expected, and even the deteriorating scoring performance made Ayton drift away from the star. In this young team, under the pressure of no record, Ayton still did not play aggressively, and even the deteriorating competitiveness became a key factor in Ayton's inability to become a leader of the Trail Blazers.
As a former future star, for several seasons in a row, Ayton's tepid performance, as well as the fear of confrontation, have made Ayton never able to play the expected performance, in the Trail Blazers still did not arouse the anger and hope in the young man's heart, but also made Ayton completely sink, such a self-defeating performance, not only let him sit on the surface of the facts, but also let the title of champion Lang be completely trampled underfoot, becoming another criticized and ridiculed parallel champion.
3rd Place: Young Hollywood Lavin
LaVine averaged 21 points, 4.9 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game in the 2023-24 regular season, shooting 44.3% from the field, 33.6% from three-point range, and 86.6% from the free throw line.
As a defender with explosive physical talent, LaVine's explosive physical talent and strong ability to stay in the air make LaVine very competitive on the court. However, due to LaVine's inconsistent outside shooting performance and the flaws of being extremely afraid of physical confrontation on both offensive and defensive ends, LaVine did not make better use of his physical advantages and talents, but even so, with his absolute talent and the damage he played at a certain stage, it also made LaVine an All-Star star.
In the 2021-22 season, DeRozan joined the team, which impacted LaVine's position as the leader, although the two both entered the All-Star team, and the team also broke into the playoffs again after many years, but LaVine broke out with the team again because of the maximum salary, and it was affected by injuries, resulting in physical and mental exhaustion.
In the 2022 offseason, after some games, LaVine got a big contract as he wished, but LaVine did not return the favor, but continued to break out conflicts with the team, which not only affected the team, but also brought great fluctuations to the team's record, and even caused LaVine's mentality to be greatly fluctuated and affected, and also made him completely lose the competitiveness of the star and the desire to win, and completely became a wonder on the court.
In the new season, after LaVine's continuous power outage, the team also completely lost his fighting spirit for the All-Star player, and launched a plan to trade him, but due to LaVine's strange personality, and unstable performance, even in addition to absolute talent, on the offensive and defensive ends, the extremely criticized power outage performance also made LaVine from a hot dunk champion to a down-and-out teenager who was spurned by everyone.
2nd place: Fengcheng Rose Rose
Rose, in the 2023-24 regular season, averaged 9.1 points, 2 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game, shooting 43.8% from the field, 34.4% from three-point range, and 90.5% from the free throw line.
As the youngest regular season MVP, Rose at his peak is definitely the greatest pride of Chicagoans, with his speed, flying deterrence, and gorgeous and beautiful scoring performance, making Rose once a new hope and sustenance for Chicagoans after Jordan。
After leaving the Bulls, Rose hibernate in many teams such as the Knicks and Cavaliers, and after joining the Timberwolves, he once regained his confidence, but injuries prevented Rose from taking off again, although he had 50 minute nights, but it was just a short-lived performance moment in mediocrity.
In the offseason, Rose joined the Grizzlies and teamed up with young Morant, previously, it was once thought that Morant was like Rose back then, and the combination of the two in the mirror also made everyone look forward to it, but Rose's repeated injuries and stoppages, as well as the fact that he sat on the cold bench most of the time, made the future star who was called for thousands of times completely reduced to a water cooler administrator who was slaughtered, although Rose's heart is still strong, but under the continuous baptism of injuries, no one can compete with it, after all, Rose is just a mortal in the flesh after all, so, by time, destroyed by injuries and illness, and the curtain call of despair, has become the only irreversible fact for this former flattering rose.
First place: Green who is full of evil
Green, in the 2023-24 regular season, averaged 9.7 points, 5.5 rebounds and 5.8 assists per game, shooting 49% from the field, 42.9% from three-point range, and 83.3% from the free throw line.
As a championship-level villain, Green has been taking on the work of a Warriors court titan since his debut. As a defensive giant, Green not only has fierce defensive ability and defensive efficiency, but also small actions on the court are also Green's usual tricks on the defensive end, and the Warriors have a Warriors dynasty because of villains like Green, and they also have Curry, Durant and other superstars.
However, after gradually Xi the bad guys in the pile, Green has become accustomed to this model over time, and even Xi proud of it, from raising the opponent to make the player's family shout Green, to poking the little emperor and Harden, so that the opponent almost went blind, these small actions on the court not only did not make Green overly punished, but even let the team profit from it, and also made Green a villain that no one dared to provoke.
After fully enjoying this pleasure, Green completely went into the abyss, publicly mocked Durant, and let the other party leave the team, which led to the disintegration of the Warriors dynasty, boxing Poole, and making a fuss, but with the Warriors' super public relations ability, Green was not condemned too much, and even when the Warriors sent Poole away, Green once compared himself to a victim without remorse.
On the court, Green trampled on Sabonis, locked Gobert, boxed Nurkic, one after another, extremely terrifying pictures, in exchange for Green did not care and did not have any remorse. Green also went from a 1-2 game ban to an indefinite ban.
Perhaps, when Green boxed Poole, if the league dealt with it seriously, the Warriors would no longer protect their shortcomings, Curry would no longer be accommodating, and the villain would stop hurting other players, but the league's blindness and the Warriors' protection made Green more and more crazy, even to the point of madness.
It is reported that the Warriors have hired a psychiatrist for Green, perhaps, for this self-defeating villain, staying in the dark for too long, Green has completely lost the ability to embrace the light, I hope that this time the league's attention, as well as Curry's anger, can make Green rein in the precipice, stop his crazy moves, and return to normal, perhaps, the league needs players with a tough style of play, who can spew trash talk, and do dirty work, but this is not a reason for Green to swing his punches and constantly hurt his opponents, after all, this is a stage of fair play, not a Shura arena for boxing opponents, so if Green can't turn back in time, even if there are extenuating circumstances, he can't be forgiven, even on the wrong path, will go further and further, so that it will have a huge impact and fluctuations on Green's body and mind.
